Hello All
Just interested in your experience in dealing with Frederic - I have just ordered Raw Secrets from him (haven't received it yet) but I was keen to know others opinions on his contribution to the world of raw.
Has he helped you, do you know him, is he well respected in this field, are his books/information proving useful and relevant to you - those sorts of things.
Always keen to hear the opinions of those in the know
Cheers

Raw Secrets is an excellent book. It was the book I was recommending to my raw friends before "The 80/10/10 Diet" came out. I also bought "Instant Raw Sensations", a recipe guide for easy to make meals that are low fat. When I make a recipe, his simple recipes are the kind that I will eat, though nowadays I am mostly mono eating fruit.

It is a good book.

You asked for my opinion. I used to love Fred when he was hanging out with Nature's first law.. I thought he was cute and had so much to say.

I noticed when he started his own business , he really kind of bad mouthed his old friends, his old partners and made them out to be liars about certain things. It kind of was weird to so publicly attack like that. Anybody know what I mean?

Also, he used to have all these free articles on his websites , that were so cool..but now you have to pay to see anything , I mean, anything..He will be like do you want to do this??, then pay X and I will send you ebook,,and everything is a plug for something else and it sounds very much like scams , alot of it.

His email newsletters I had to stop because they were just plugs to get you to buy..no recipes, no articles..just ads!

I like him though. I do.

I loved his recipe books before that Raw Secrets too. I hear people think they are too plain but I like them. Who knows, maybe he is making money and happy.

I had a similar experience: I really did value Raw Secrets (awesome book) and I liked his newsletter at first. Then they started sounding like infomercials and all of his emails started getting filtered out by my Yahoo! account into the spam folder because the subject line sounded like spam! I don't know him personally though.

Love,

I hold Frederic in high regards. He is a sincere person in my judgement. I spent 6 weeks fasting and refeeding with him in Costa Rica under the guidance of Doug Graham. I can relate to him more than alot of the older leaders in the raw movement and I think it is special that he has shared his complete journey since it began.

I say, read with confidence )

Got tons of free info from his website (though there are a lot of links to his books etc). Definitely worth a look if you're keen.

Got an online copy of the book only, thought I was getting the book itself
wasn't paying attention.

Like his point about working on your weakest link, you are only as healthy as your weakest link or something to that effect.

I just got back from Frederic's Manifesting Health and Abundance seminar in Costa Rica.

Am curious as to whether any of the other folks on this board were there too. I was cosupervising the kitchen, so didn't really participate in the seminar portion of it.

I had a wonderful time. Not quite what I expected but I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people and learn a lot.



seeing is freeing
hearing is clearing
feeling is healing

He is a cutie. I invited him to go to Paris with me a long time ago, lol.

He does take a lot of opportunities to try and make money with his e-mail newsletters and such, and I think it's worth the investment. I haven't regretted anything that I have purchased from him, nor have my friends.
