Episode 0002–Raw Vegan Radio–The Raw Life with Paul Nison

Our second episode features Paul Nison, world famous author, lecturer, and raw food chef.

The show features an interview with Paul, as well as highlights from his lecture at The Living Temple in Huntington Beach, California on February 13, 2006.

At age 20, Paul Nison was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (also know as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), a deadly affliction.

His search for a cure began with medical doctors, but they didn’t have the answers he needed. After trying almost every so-called cure to overcome his pain and suffering, Paul finally discovered the benefits of eating more simply. He started by getting rid of foods that were no good for him. Simplifying his diet was the first step in his cure.

Paul started to leave out all unhealthful foods, and the healthful foods he was left with were raw, ripe, fresh, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

After turning to a more simple diet called the raw food diet consisting of just that, raw foods, Paul was amazed at how quickly his health returned. He was even more amazed because doctors told him raw foods would not help his condition. In fact, they warned him by saying a diet of raw fruits and vegetables would be harmful to anyone with inflammatory bowel disease.

This led Paul to simplify all areas of his life. With his new understanding of less is more,  Paul left his office job in the financial industry on Wall Street in New York City, wrote some books about health, and started traveling, giving lectures about health and living simply.

Paul didn’t know it at the time, but his return to health and a simpler life was just the beginning of a path that would bring him to question the connection between todays fast-paced urban lifestyle and the sadly diseased state in which so many people find themselves. The more I started to realize what was really going on, I would see most people moving around like robots, barely surviving while I was thriving.

This led Paul to continue to search for an answer. He realized that people are being controlled by the world. Most of the people in control do not have the best interests of the people they are controlling at heart.

Discovering healthful eating was a big step for me, but finding building a personal relationship with Our Creator was the biggest. My life has definitely changed and is better than it ever was.

Paul’s life is now dedicated to studying and living according to the Scriptures and to developing his relationship with The Most High. It is Paul’s prayer to help as many people as possible to see the amazing health message of the Scriptures, and to help them get to know and understand their Creator. According to Paul, the Scriptures comprise the greatest book on health ever written.

To convey his message, Paul will travel wherever he must. He spends most of his time on the road. Paul explains that the hectic life on the road, working many hours, is only possible with the help of Our Creator .

There is so much to get done, but each second I spend working on this is a joy because I know it’s not for me, it is for Our Creator  and it is helping people.

Paul will speak anywhere and is accepted everywhere. He usually speaks at health food stores, retreats, churches, Messianic assemblies, yoga studios, parks, and corporate offices. Paul says there is nowhere he wouldn’t speak, as long as people are interested in helping themselves get better.
