To my delightful surprise, many people seemed to love the compost toilet idea. Today's video is Part 2. Also at the end of today's video Andrea shares about another important topic to us. Check it out and keep those comments coming.

My wife Andrea is such a great wife and she deserves a special gift so I just built another compost toilet just for her. What a great guy I am. I bet no one has gotten a gift like that before. I mention this because the first one I built in the video above was a learning experience. Especially since I have no woodworking knowledge at all. But the second time around was much easier and quicker. Maybe I should build a mini one for Noa. (lol). I told Andrea we may have a new business, but seriously folks, it is so simple anyone can do it. Here's a site with the instructions and also some great videos.

Andrea, Noa and I leave Tomorrow to speak in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania these two next weeks. We will take our camera and get some good episode. If you come to our lecture and have something interesting to share maybe you can be a guest on one of our shows. Remember the first person who comes to one of our lectures in the next two weeks and says "Mr. Hankey Rules" will receive a free Daylight Diet DVD.

Thank you everyone and have a crappy day. (LOL)

How to get the best soil in the world! Part 1

paul@rawlife.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:48:08 PST

In today's video, I reveal what my secret passion is to the world, which is to help the environment and stop wasting our waste. Yes, the answer is an eco-friendly compost toilet system! All because Paul Nison gives a poo.

A few people warned me not to post this video it because it is such a taboo subject, but I feel so strong about the issue I had to post it. I really pray it doesn't turn anyone off, but I know there are a few people who are just not ready to take this step. That's fine if you feel that way, but don't throw the raw food out with the seeds, um I mean the baby out with the bath water, smile. If you aren't interested in this video, then there are still more great ones to come, so hang in there.

If you did enjoy today's video and you love the idea of compost toilets as an eco-friendly way to help the environment, good for you! If you have never thought of it, please consider every single flush is wasting a ton of water, and also good valuable compost for your soil.

Tomorrow's show, Part Two, I will continue to talk about this important topic. So be sure to check it out.

Help Wanted. Looking for a job for a raw food company?

paul@rawlife.com — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:22:09 PST

I hope you enjoyed today's video. Andrea and I have become so inspired to grow our own foods and live as environmentally friendly as possible. So far I only have one winner to my DVD contest and tomorrow I will post the answer in my video. I'm still looking for 2 more winners to give a free DVD to if anyone wants to try to guess what tomorrow's video will be! Hint #2: The answer goes along great with my new garden!

I am also starting to plan future lecture dates for my book tour. If you are in the Cleveland, Ohio area, the Pittsburgh, PA area, Toronto, Canada and would like for me to come speak or know someone who has a group that I can contact, please email me at paul@rawlife.com

I'm getting so overwhelmed with phone calls, and other projects. I'm looking to hire a phone operator for my raw food health store. If you are interested or know someone, please email me. It pays $10.00 an hour and is part time right now. The person would need to be able to answer the phone when it rings and take a message. That's all. They do not have to be at a desk to do this job, so if you love to talk on the phone and have the time, please contact me.

Have a great day
Paul Nison

Square Foot Garden Update and free DVD Contest.

paul@rawlife.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:21:09 PDT

Wow, we just finished putting in an edible square foot garden at hour small house. I am so tired but so excited. It's been a lot of work, some people asked why we were working so early in the morning and so late at night to put the garden in. Because in South Florida it is just too hot and sunny during the middle of the day.

Andrea and I a so excited that we can now grow our own food and it is better than any food we can buy in the store. Thanks to John Kohler's creative idea we will have filtered water on a timer so our plants will be watered, even when we are not here. Tomorrow I will post part 3 of the garden video's so you can see how it looks right now.

It has always been a dream to have a garden like this and now it is a reality. We have a very small court yard and if we can do it so can you. There is a great book called Square Food Gardening that can get you started. You can also check out John Kohler's site www.growingyourgreens.com.

Right now I'm working on an even more amazing video that goes along great with my new garden? Want to take a guess what it is? The person who guesses the correct answer before I post the video, I'll send a free Daylight Diet DVD. You can send your guess to Paul@rawlife.com but you only have a few days before I post it so hurry.

Hint: Howdy Ho.

Dear Friends...

I don’t usually post emails like this, but I have to this time. Whenever I visit Hippocrates Health Institute, it’s common that I see a little kid riding his bike or just hanging out. I’ve spoken to him many times. He is a really great kid. His mother is an adored long-time employee there and has a wonderful family. I don’t know why bad things happen to such good people, but you may have heard about the 15 year old boy who was doused with alcohol and lit on fire by 5 other teenage boys. He was burned over 70% of his body, with 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This is the kid from Hippocrates.

This is the info a friends sent us:

Mikey Brewer is in Jackson Memorial Hospital's burn unit in Miami, and his family is by his side...

http://www.cbsnews.com

http://www.youtube.com

  Mikey and his parents and grandparents are friends of mine from Hippocrates Health Institute. Please add Mikey and the Brewer Family to your prayer lists...  Michael Brewer's family has set up a foundation with Bank of America for anyone who wants to help with medical expenses. The foundation's account number is 898035752616 and funds can be deposited at any Bank of America.  

Mikey's recovery will be many months. If you would like to support his family's day-to-day expenses during this ordeal, your contribution will be profoundly appreciated.

You can also deposit into my Paypal account, and your money will be delivered directly to the family.

I thank you for whatever assistance you can provide, in prayers, in cards sent, in money - it all makes a difference...

Please be faithful in prayer,

Paul, Andrea & Noa Nison

New Raw Food Book Now Out!

paul@rawlife.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 06:20:51 PDT

I was recently part of a new raw food book that is out 12 of the world’s leading raw food experts: The biggest questions regarding the raw diet and lifestyle
Together in one book for the first time. To Order book or for more info click Raw: Your Biggest Questions Answered

12 of the world’s leading raw food experts
The biggest questions regarding the raw diet and lifestyle
Together in one book for the first time

The experts

Elaine Bruce
Dr Brian Clement
Dao Earl
Dr Douglas Graham
Thomas Lodi, M.D.
Paul Nison
Holly Paige
Frederic Patenaude
Natalia Rose
Jasmine Scalesciani
Shazzie
Tonya Zavasta

Just some of the questions that we asked, and they answered

* Do you recommend transitioning to raw rapidly or taking it slowly?

* Do you agree or disagree with the statement that you can get so many of the benefits of being 100% raw on a diet that is 100% whole foods and 80% raw that there is no need to go 100% raw unless that is your preferred choice?

* Please list the 10 factors you believe are most important to health, and rank them in order.

* Do the enzymes in raw foods really help to digest those foods?

* Where is the proof that the life force in foods influences our life force?

* Is the vegan diet our optimal diet?

* What do you think of the "metabolic" typing theory which states that there is no ideal diet for everyone?

* How much fruit do you think we should consume for optimal health, and why?

* Is it possible to eat a 100% raw diet that is low in fruit without eating too much fat?

* Should people with cancer avoid fruit?

* Is it true that the sugar in fruit accelerates the aging process?

* What are your top tips for handling the "emotional detox" many go through when they go raw?

* Some raw fooders report that going raw increased their sex drive and others say the opposite. Do you think going raw is more likely to have a positive or negative effect on this area of life versus consuming the standard diet, and why?

* Are sprouted grains a healthy and/or essential part of a raw diet, or are they best avoided?

* Do you believe that concentrated, processed sugar in any form is healthy - including agave syrup, yacon syrup and other sweeteners marketed as such?

* What’s your take on the persistent rumours that neither agave syrup nor cacao are ever truly raw?

* Is salt either healthy or essential?

* Processed salts are around 99% sodium chloride and unprocessed salts around 84%, so are they really that different?

* Some people say that blending makes nutrients more accessible than chewing, and some say that nutrients are lost in the blending process? What is your opinion?

* Can we thrive on fewer calories on an optimal raw diet?

* Which 10 foods do you eat most of?

* Could you outline an optimal day’s food intake?

* Is it true that we need less water in order to stay hydrated when we eat a water-rich raw diet? Or is the water in raw foods, and even in juices, no substitute for drinking water?

* Please outline your position on colonics and the reasons for it. For example, do you consider colonics either healthy or necessary?

* Can we meet all our nutrient needs on an optimal raw diet or do we need supplements?

* Do you believe it is possible to raise a child on a raw vegan diet without supplements?

* Tooth decay seems to be more common among raw vegan children than among other groups of children with health-and-nutrition-conscious parents. Why do you think this is the case?

* If the cooked food diet is so bad, how come so many people are healthy eating it and living to be in their 80s or 90s?

* Many raw fooders seem unhealthier than people who eat cooked food - why is that?

* How come the world’s longest-lived people include cooked and non-vegan foods in their diets and if the raw vegan diet is our natural diet, why is there no raw vegan civilization anywhere on earth?

* Is there such thing as "mucoid plaque"?

* Water fasting versus juice fasting: which do you consider (a) the safest and (b) the most effective, and why?

* And many more questions.

Note: Although some panelists answered all questions and most questions have answers by all or most panelists, please be aware that not every question is answered by every panelist.

"This book is illuminating, not only for those new to raw, but also for those not so new. It is unique in that it showcases opinions from a wide spectrum of raw food leaders on topics often discussed in the raw food world. Yes - all the ‘controversy’ in one place - it’s a fascinating read! What these raw food experts have in common is that each one of them has eaten raw, or high-raw, for many years, and has considerable experience of working with others on raw food diets. Get Fresh! is non-partisan throughout. It neither comments, nor shows favouritism, but just reports. Journalism at its best."
Debbie Took, UK

First edition of this exclusive book available now. Order it and you will receive updates as they become available. Next update, coming soon: appendix containing the panelist interviews, so you can read the information by panelist, as well as by subject.
