Episode 0032–Raw Vegan Radio– Raw and Juicing For Life with The Juiceman Jay Kordich

On today’s show, we feature an exclusive interview with the father of juicing and raw foods, Jay Kordich, The Juiceman

Jay Kordich is an advocate of health through the consumption of raw foods. He is the creator of the Juiceman and responsible for bringing juicing to America through television, based on sixty years of dedication, and is the direct protege of Dr. Norman W. Walker and Dr. Max Gerson, the doctors who brought the concept of juicing to the world.

In 1948, Jay “The Juiceman” Kordich contracted bladder cancer at twenty-five. A world class athlete and football star at USC, Jay travelled across the United States to New York City to get well by world-renowned medical doctor, Dr. Max Gerson, who helped Jay cure himself of bladder cancer through an all-juice diet . As a result, Jay’s life took a drastic turn for the better within only three months.

In 1989, Jay started his national television career, making appearances with his juicer, and by the end of 1990, Jay Kordich and juicing were widely known. His award winning infomercials aired for over thirteen years.

Jay Kordich placed the “Juiceman” name onto his own Juicers, which included the Juiceman, Juiceman II, and Juiceman Jr., which were priced competitively, and made available to consumers through infomericals, catalogs, and retail in the 1980s and 90’s.

His book, The Juiceman’s Power of Juicing reached #1 on the New York Time’s Best Seller List, selling over two million copies.

The Juiceman line of juicers are now being distributed by Salton, Inc. and are no longer endorsed by Kordich.

His second book, this time, co-written with his wife, Linda Kordich is entitled: Live Foods Live Bodies (complete raw food preparation book).

Episode 0017–Raw Vegan Radio–The China Study Revealed with Dr. T. Colin Campbell

T. Colin Campbell is a Cornell University professor and an outspoken vegan. He also authored “The China Project,” a series of academic papers intended to prove that the Chinese (particularly those who don’t eat meat, or rather can’t afford it) have a healthier diet than Americans. Raised on a dairy farm, Campbell is now an anti-milk activist as well, arguing — despite a lack of scientific consensus on the subject and a paucity of evidence — that milk causes early-onset puberty in young girls.

Much of Campbell’s objection to a non-vegetarian diet stems from his concerns over the presence of dioxin in meats. Good thing, then, that Campbell is Chairman and CEO of Paracelsian, Inc. His company sells testing equipment and methods for detecting dioxins, and is actively pressing the case for its own dioxin screening tests to be adopted as the national standard. Much of the company’s profit, though, seems to derive from its “natural foods” side business, which operates under the name “New Century Nutrition.” New Century’s web site is hosted by Jeff Nelson’s “VegSource” empire.

Our exclusive interview with Dr. T. Colin Campbell includes topics such as the nutritional findings of the “China Study”, the need for vitamin B-12 in vegan and raw vegan diets, the health benefits of the raw vegan diet as compared to the vegan diet, and if our diet choices can reduce risk of disease.

Episode 0003–Raw Vegan Radio–The Legendary Paul Bragg

On this episode, we pay tribute to the legendary health crusader, Paul Bragg, www.Bragg.com.

Paul C. Bragg, Father of the Health Movement in America, had vision and dedication. This dynamic Crusader for worldwide health and fitness is responsible for more firsts in the history of the Health Movement than any other individual.

Paul Bragg’s amazing pioneering achievements the world now enjoys:

• Bragg originated, named and opened the first Health Food Store in America.
• Bragg Health Crusades pioneered the first Health Lectures across America. Bragg inspired followers to open Health Stores across America and then worldwide.
• Bragg was the first to introduce pineapple juice and tomato juice to America.
• He introduced Juice Therapy in America by importing the first hand-juicers.
• He was the first to introduce and distribute honey and date sugar nationwide.
• Bragg pioneered Radio Health Programs from Hollywood three times daily in the 20s.
• Bragg and daughter Patricia pioneered a Health TV show from Hollywood to spread The Bragg Health Crusade on their show, Health and Happiness. It included exercises, health recipes, visual demonstrations and guest appearances by famous, health-minded people.
• Bragg opened the first health restaurants and the first health spas in America.
• He created the first health foods and products and then made them available nationwide: herbal teas, health beverages, vitamin drinks, seven-grain cereals and crackers, health cosmetics, health candies, calcium, vitamins and mineral supplements, wheat germ, digestive enzymes from papaya, herbs and kelp seasonings, and amino acids from soybeans. Bragg inspired others to follow (Schiff, Shaklee, Twin Labs, Herbalife, etc.) and now thousands of health items are available worldwide!

Crippled by TB as a teenager, Bragg developed his own eating, breathing and exercising program to rebuild his body into an ageless, tireless, pain-free citadel of glowing, super health. He excelled in running, swimming, biking, progressive weight training and mountain climbing. He made an early pledge to God, in return for his renewed health, to spend the rest of his life showing others the road to super health. He honored his pledge! Paul Bragg’s health pioneering made a difference worldwide.

A legend and beloved health crusader to millions, Bragg was the inspiration and personal health and fitness advisor to top Olympic Stars from 4-time swimming Gold Medalist Murray Rose to 3-time track Gold Medalist Betty Cuthbert of Australia, his relative (pole-vaulting Gold Medalist), Don Bragg and countless others. Jack LaLanne, the original TV Fitness King says, Paul Bragg saved my life at age 15 when I attended the Bragg Crusade in Oakland, California.  From the earliest days, Bragg advised the greatest Hollywood Stars and giants of American Business. J C Penney, Del E. Webb, Dr. Scholl and Conrad Hilton are just a few who he inspired to long, successful, healthy, active lives!

Dr. Bragg changed the lives of millions worldwide in all walks of life with the Bragg Health Crusades, The Bragg Health Books, his Radio and TV appearances. (See and hear him on the web.)
