You are what you eat is the lesson Tim learned from all this and along with take
this burger and shove it and veggie burger in paradise were also debuted at the Juicy
U banquet. Changing his diet brought him back to health. After a 2 week fast Bonnie
advised him to be vegetarian with his eating avoiding all refined foods, wheat and processed
meats as being too toxic for his delicate liver and if he felt as if he had to have meats eat chicken
breasts or fish but not every day. Tim was not raw but cooked vegetarian with a lot of
fresh salads for the rest of 1998 through 2000 when he and Susan decided to go raw together.
She was a long time cooked food vegan and Tim was a vegetarian who ate lots of raw
with brown rice and a little chicken and fish. She wanted him to be vegan and he was for
two weeks until one day she was boasting about how healthy her vegan diet was. Tim had
read Nature's First Law and knew it was good solid philosophy explaining the call for raw
foods and the relationship between man and raw foods but there was no step by step guide
in that book on how to transition to a raw food diet so Tim's first attempt failed and
he had to go back to vegetarian for a while.Susan thought her favorite dish vegan mashed
potatoes with vegan gravy was the most healthy thing to eat so Tim pointed out how the
book explained how all that starch turned to sugar making a baked potatoes more of a
sugar load than several sodas. Susan laughed at the book because every chapter ended
in the words "cooked food is poison" yet she felt this subject needed more research and
set out to read every article and book on raw foods she could get her hands on.
She found out David Wolf had a new book on called Natures First Law
and when she brought it home Tim suggested they read it together and they did.
Finally a book that explains what going raw is like and how to do it and what to look
for and what a cleansing reaction is and how to deal with it. The sunfood triangle
works by keeping a balance between greens, fats and carbohydrates and that
gave the couple a guideline for the 2 week raw experiment. After 4 days they
both felt so good they both proclaimed they would never go back to cooked
and that is basically what happened to date. Susan went on to become a personal
assistant to Gabriel Cousins and the Tree OF Life rejuvenation center which serves
raw foods in the cafe 7 days a week and trains raw food chefs while at the same time
helping people detox and cleanse from various diseases and Tim discovered how to
grow food with ocean water for total nutrition in plants and continue his quest to
complete his first CD. Niether will ever forget that life changing first 2 week raw food
experiment that changed them both so dramatically for the better.
Tim never ate a papaya before he changed to a raw food diet and once he discovered this
"melon of health" that grows on a tree he didn't want to ever have to live without it.
His body craved those enzymes, vitamins and minerals provided in a papaya and he found out the seeds had a peppery
taste and were good for killing parasites when you digest them. The amazing health benefits derived from one plant
captured his quest for returning his body to healthy conditions and he began to realize it needs to be a steady part of his
diet. He also realized they are kinda pricey and hard to find organically grown especially locally. Then he found out papaya
was the fastest growing from seed to fruit taking only 8 so planting them in the empty tree holes left from hurricane Andrew
made perfect since. Then local farmers told him you had to spray or the wasp would bury its eggs and destroy most if not all
of your crop in south Florida. Tim was setting out to grow them organically and spraying would not be an option if he had to
bag every one he was not going to spray. The incredible sweet taste was always followed with an after taste with every
commercially sprayed papaya he ate and it was not until his first home grown organic papaya that he realized that after taste
did not belong and must be caused by chemicals in the pesticides. Of course ocean water was a natural for papayas as they
need lots of trace elements and minerals to grow big and healthy.
Driving on vegetable oil was written for the video
first called How I Converted to Veggie Oil but being
renamed Driving on Vegetable Oil for future copies.
For 4 years now Tim has been driving his 78 Mercedes
on used cooking oil and so when he met DR. Craig
Sommers who wanted to video tape his veggie truck it
was only natural to work together and produce a how to
video on the subject. Marty added intense guitar to
the version on this CD and this new version will be
added to the DVD very soon.
Divine Spirit Of Love is an entirely different song
from the rest of the CD. Tim was working with Don
Jansen and learning a lot about ocean water but also
learning a lot about spirituality from this ordained
minister who found Eckankar to be more in alignment
with what he feels as his true path to God. Tim also
worked with Reverend Scott Bebee and Juanita
Mazerrella to clear blockages of the spiritual body
that were impeding his progress and development
spiritually by keeping him in fear. Fear is the
opposite of love and it made perfect since to clean up
his spiritual bodies once Tim cleaned up his physical
body. Old thought patterns and conditionings led Tim
the come from a position of lack and this blocked his
abundance from flowing. Juanita let him borrow her
copy of a prosperity class and it was very helpful in
reconditioning the thinking to go along with the good
food. So when driving to FT. Myers to work with Don
Tim realized he still gets those depressing moods
sometimes and wanted to have a song to sing when ever
that happened to lift his mood. So he set the
intention that on this day he would pass the beautiful
trees of the everglades and be inspired with the words
to the songs instead of listening to the radio or
tapes. By the time Tim arrived to meet Don he was
signing him the new inspirational tune worked out and
completely orchestrated in his head during the ride.
One day Tim will get to record it with children's
voices starting it out and a full chorus and orchestra
coming in to build it up to a joyous celebration but
for now this version allows the song to be shared.
