I can honestly say that I am a very motivated person. Eager to get the truth out-there about healthy living. It is truly amazing the amount of “information” that you can find that is suppose to give you valuable health info. Most of this information in the main stream media is very contradicting and misleading – even so in the raw food world. This misinformation is bringing people who are trying to become healthier – to fail. They become discouraged to stay on the path. Countless times you hear and read about these failures, that it does not work 'that healthy eating.'
My goal is to change this. I am going to help you to stay on that path, because plainly said – you have to.

    I have been involved in this quest for the truth about healthy living for over 16 years now and I have found what I was looking for. One day, many years ago, I became sick and tired of the confusion that exists out-there in the health world and I asked the Universe for some answers and clarifications. This led me to my own re-search, life experiences, and studies that provided me with the knowledge and insights I needed to see what it means to be healthy. My studies of: the natural cycles and laws of nature called; Natural Hygiene, gave me the foundation that I needed to finally learn what we as a Human Race are naturally suppose to eat.

    I am originally from Holland and was raised on the usual meat and potatoes cuisine, like most people. It was not until my early adult years and with the help of a colleague, that I turned Vegetarian. Many books followed and in no time I became a Vegan – it just made more sense. I felt that I was making a difference. As my quest continued I found myself 'stuck' one day with nothing new to learn. It seemed to me that being a Vegan was the end of the road – I found the perfect diet. When years later the word 'RAW' started to appear allover the web, people seemed to have found another new diet craze and I felt certain that it would pass like many other diets did before. I remember when I was the Vegan Chef at a beautiful yoga center in Costa Rica that I had a interesting interaction. I was finishing a rustic tomato soup on the stove when suddenly a client of the retreat walked into the kitchen and she said; "wow, I smelled your soup from a distance," and she went with her nose almost into the soup. Of course, the friendly chef that I was, offered her a cup to try it. "O no, I could not eat that, I do not eat cooked food, but thank you though." That was my very first Raw Food-er I ever met in person and I remember thinking: ''what a shame, it is such a great soup, that lady is clearly psychologically and physically starving.''

    Soon I was given a book by a guest that same year (aahhh, the Universe always provides) because I did start to wonder of course about this Raw Food phenomena. It did not take long before I saw the light and became Raw myself. I will spare you the details, but it did not go too well and I decided it was not for me and I went back to my save and familiar world of Vegan-ism. I now know what went wrong. It is the same mistake most people make, and because of it end up eating cooked food again.

    The Raw Food journey has been a interesting experience for me personally. I went on and off the diet periodically and like in my Vegan days, many questions started to bug me again. I decided to dive into the books once more to find out what then truly is our natural diet – “is eating RAW the answer?”

    What followed were a few years of intense study that not only brought me to the answer to my burning question, but also to my new personal mission. This new passion and mission became: to pass on true science based knowledge that explains why RAW is the choice of food for the human race. Heck, every living creature on the whole planet besides us is eating RAW and that has got to mean something. The philosophy of Natural Hygiene is what I found after becoming frustrated about the contradictions I found everywhere. The science behind 'True Pristine Health' is very fascinating and inspiring. This philosophy that lays out the natural laws of mankind and its environment will need to be respected when beautiful health is what one seeks.

    My achievement of obtaining my: Ph.D in the Philosophy of Holistic and Natural Nutrition & Lifestyle, is my crown for my years of seeking the truth. Once again I feel that I have found the end of my path, and I have now the perceivable desire to pass it on. The quest for more know how will never end though, I will continue to dive into books as new knowledge always surfaces. I hope by the way that the desire to learn more about a healthy lifestyle will occupy some of your time as well. It is hugely important for all of us to know how to live properly – as your health and life may depend on it.

    So here I am as a Hygienic Doctor anxious to pass this fascinating knowledge on to you. I am not the type of person, by the way, that is going to sugar coat anything. I am going to tell it as it is, as I see it, because I feel that I can after all the experiences I gained. I want you to succeed – I need you to give yourself the opportunity to re-invent yourself – to be healthy again. No more relying on coffee or other substances to be able to make it through the day. No more chronic illnesses or diseases that overshadow your life. To feel and look 20 years younger is a tremendous treasure,
