A lot of people have been asking how much should I eat, when should I begin, how long should I fast and many other questions surrounding healing and in specific knowing what to do. The core issue here is the lack of trust we have in our own healing ability and in knowing what is right for ourselves. Through our education system and conditioning in general we have grown into the habit of not trusting our own intuition. Our thoughts are our guide to knowing what is right for our own personal journey. Yet we lack distinct trust in those thoughts. For some reason we think we are wrong about knowing what to do in our own lives. Sure it is great to hear opinions and seek expert advise in fields to enhance our understanding, but no one and I mean no one can understand you better than you. Pealing off layers of conditions is hard work at times and we need to be ready to be able to cope with the changes that occur when we do so. It is my rule number one, I know what is best for me given my circumstances at the time.
So when embarking upon a fast whether it be eating watermelon for 7 days or juicing or green smoothies, you will learn to understand that your body knows what it is doing and you will continue to grow the strength of understanding to listen to your own intuitive guidance.
Matthew’s journey of watermelon fasting was a huge insight. He ate when he felt hungry and on some days he was just drinking water alone. There is no prescription here. Each individual has there own uniqueness. Put aside the fear and leap into self healing knowing that you trust in your own process of understanding. There were times with Matthew that I wanted to take him to hospital, he was so sick. Days where I wondered if he was going to make it through. But he helped me to realise that hospital for him was not an option. All they would want to do would be tell him he was crazy, drive fear into his spirit and completely take away his strength and control of his own life. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great medical Dr’s out there, who help people in accidents and the like, but there is a huge myth being created surrounding disease that they believe to be a mystery, when clearly it is not.
I myself have been told many a time by unhealthy, overweight, sick looking people that eating raw food is crazy. I find it ironic that I look and feel far better than them and yet they feel through their own arrogance that it is ok to tell me I am stupid, crazy or a freak. So when someone else is projecting their fears and thoughts onto you, have the courage to listen to your own guidance and respond how you choose.

Real N’ Raw showcases a solution that offers everyone a chance to live a pain and disease free life. So many of us still think that health is unaffordable, that organic fruit and vegetables and things that are marketed like health supplements are so expensive that it can really stop someone from thinking that health is not obtainable because of budget. For centuries we have been indoctrinated with poverty, especially as the world population grows and the wealth/poverty gap grows bigger. But ask yourself what is able to bridge that gap, what is it that is able to give that feeling of abundance, excellence and that feeling that comes through living our dreams. So I want people to understand that no matter where you are on the financial ladder, health is obtainable for you. Once you make your mind up and decide that change is going to happen in your life no matter what, then the solutions can appear. It is when we say that oh no it is too expensive or I can’t afford to buy fruits that the mental poverty trap keeps us in our misery. Me and my girls constantly not because we have too but because it is really a fun thing to do scour the neighbourhodd for locally grown back yard fruit. We have a great time, jumping fences, loading up jumpers and pockets with fruit and not to mention the taste of the stuff. Delectable. Talk to your neighbors, share back yard fruit, it is a great way to get to know everyone.
Anyway back on to supplements such as vitamins and minerals. I just want people to know that even though there are a lot of good extra additions to a healthy raw diet out out there, don’t think because you can’t afford them that you can’t reach optimum health for you. Matty’s best healing was done eating watermelon and lemons alone for weeks on end. Yes just watermelon and lemons, in fact that is what saved him from an early grave. Sometimes he would only be spending $15 a week on food and that was when he was able to put in the hard yard to make Real N’ Raw possible. He had so much energy that he was sleeping less, working out more and able to balance his new found health freedom. So no we are not trying to put the supplements industry out of business but what we are offering is a solution that is obtainable on any budget.
Please remember that it takes time to heal after years of eating a processed and enzyme deficient diet we are finding that people want overnight miracles. Even though when Matty went raw the initial boost of energy and pain relief was a highlight, it was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride towards health. It is not all easy and there are some huge detox periods that people are mistaking for allergies and thinking that raw food is not for everyone. Once you understand how the body works and heals itself you too can understand that the process takes time. It is not a magic pill but more an ongoing choice to be healthy and is certainly worth the ride. Who on earth wants to live in pain and disease, no not much fun at all. We had our share of that and think that once you know the solution the long and short term benefits are well worth the self discipline to obtain. You will be amazed at how the most annoying little things mental, emotional and physical can just disappear after a period on raw foods.

Matthew “The Kid” Wilson
I lived with someone who was so terribly ill for many years. We lived through each day with some hope that one day it would be OK. That one day, there would be no more pain, suffering and all the emotional and physical burden that goes with that. That person was the Director of Real N’ Raw.
Real N’ Raw is our story. Real N’ Raw saved Matthew Wilson’s life. Real N’ Raw saved my life. Real N’ Raw if you choose to watch it can give you the information that can empower you to live your life to the fullest too.
I had no idea when I met him, that he was so sick. Honestly I do not think most people realise how sick they actually are until it stares them in the face. But Matthew did, he knew that if he did not change he would be dead soon. It was the most frustrating thing I have ever come across. Someone with an answer who struggled to get out of his own way and turn their life around.
I have my own opinion about why that is and it happens to be that these bodies are so resilient and continually finding homeostasis that how toxic and poisonous they really are is not seen as the body is built to strive to stay alive. But Matthew knew. I knew. We all knew that the answer lied in actually having the motivation to do it.
I have listened and watch by as people die, waiting for miracles to happen to them as they wish cancer or whatever other disease it is they have away. While the answer is staring us right in the face. It is the strength and courage to stand up in face of what we have always been told and walk in the opposite direction. The journey to do this is the most empowering you can do. The journey that overrides culture, heritage, mums, dads and everything you have ever known.
I say why walk a path you know when the excitiment of jumping in the deep end and finding you can swim is the most exhilirating of them all.
Life has begun abound for us again. Just as many systems are collapsing and the governments have decided to continue to tax us silly while supporting the industries that are like bullets to a gun. Changing your diet to raw and having the strength to stand up and make a change in your own world defies everything I have ever known.
