“Juice Feasting is a paradigm shift that will utterly transform the world of healing, nutrition, and health. It is a Life Practice designed to help everyone move up one of the most fundamental lines of human development: nutrition, or The Spectrum of Diet™.

GLOBAL JUICE FEASTS 2009
Personal Transformation on a Global Scale
1-Month Global Juice Feast: January 3-31, 2009
92-Day Global Juice Feast: Begins Saturday, March 7, 2009
IN MARCH 2008, cleansing and the power of Nutrient-Dense Live Food Plant-Based Nutrition made history with the global launch of Juice Feasting. This was the first time in human history that a nutritional and healing practice of such massive personal and global potential became available to so many, due to the fact that we can now cleanse to completion by Juice Feasting for up to 92 Days on a gallon-plus of fresh homemade nutrient-dense juice and superfoods, while still maintaining our daily lives at home and work with no interruptions financially or in our family and personal life.
The reason that we can conduct a global cleanse of this magnitude is due to accessibility for everyone in terms of time, information, and support, combined with the dramatic level of healing, self-empowerment, and abundance that is created by Juice Feasting and healing oneself.
Have you seen the growing list of blogs out there about people Juice Feasting for 30, 60, or even 92 Days? A little over two years ago almost no one knew this was possible! Now laypeople and professionals alike are making this practice part of their personal and professional lives.
Juice Feasting is the Occam’s Razor of cleansing: a practice that is simple as it is profound in its ability to heal, transform, and empower.
WHAT IS JUICE FEASTING?
Juice Feasting, as the name implies, is a Program of abundance, in which the Feaster drinks 12-15 lbs of juiced produce each day, providing all the nutrition needed to feed the body/mind, yet placing the body in a position to detoxify and eliminate deficiencies. Juice Feasting pushes the reset button on your physiology through a 30-92 day Program of drinking 4 Quarts of fresh juices and superfood concentrates each day, which turns on the human physiology to:
CLEANSE – REBUILD – REHYDRATE – ALKALIZE
In any cleanse, we want to cleanse, rebuild, rehydrate, and alkalize to the greatest extent possible, and by virtue of the nutrient content of so much fresh juice, and the length of time you can stay in a Juice Feast, this is now widely possible.
JUICE FEASTING IS A PARADIGM SHIFT
We have been fasting for thousands of years, yet water and juice fasting have been limited in their wide-scale desirability due to fear of hunger and deprivation, the need to take time off from work and daily/family responsibilities, and the cost of hiring needed professional supervision for extended fasts.
Currently, many people are overfed and undernourished, and we consume useless products and information as a society because there is a hole in us from a lack of a deep and meaningful life experience, not to mention a significant nutritional grounding.
In the upcoming book, Raw Food Works (with numerous contributing authors such as Brian Clement, Gabriel Cousens, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Jameth Sheridan, Victoria Boutenko, Cherie Soria), I contributed a chapter called “Deep Foods: Nutrient Density from the Ground, Up.” Deep foods are those foods that have depth in four major areas of our lives:
- Mental-Emotional-Spiritual
- Physical
- Cultural
- Social (i.e. Environmental, Ecological, Political, Economic, etc.)
Most of what we eat in western society are processed, non-local, shallow foods which have a lot of calories, but very little depth. This shallow depth creates a shallow life experience, leaving many of us feeling like something is being left out, and that something is meaning.
Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero With a Thousand Faces said that when someone asks what the meaning of life is, what they are really looking for is an experience of it. Juice Feasting is a powerful force for waking up our authenticity, realizing our own true potential, and is attractive to many because of its emphasis on nutritional abundance that sparks a nutrient-dense life experience at every level.
Juice Feasting is a paradigm shift that will utterly transform the world of healing, nutrition, and health. Because of its simplicity (even for persons who know little about diet or health), deep nutritional foundation, its effectiveness grounded in the science of fasting, and potential for significant healing while maintaining one’s daily life, Juice Feasting is designed to serve as a new and lasting foundation for personal and global transformation.
A BONA-FIDE SOLUTION
Juice Feasting is a bona-fide solution to the lack of healing centers worldwide that can adequately support everyone who needs to remove the underlying causes of their health challenges and switch on to a level of health few experience.
Juice Feasting is a self-empowering practice, accessible to all, that can be accomplished while still going to work and taking care of family responsibilities. Never before has such a dramatically impactful, deep-cleansing program in which one can heal to completion been so accessible to the public.
JUICE FEASTING: A LIFE PRACTICE WE NEED
Johns Hopkins University predicts that 75% of Americans will be overweight or obese by 2015, and by 2030, 86% of Americans will suffer overweight or obesity. The National Institutes of Health research suggests that one out of three children will develop diabetes in their lifetime. Over 1 million people dying yearly of heart disease – a completely benign disease that Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn has shown is reversible with a plant-based diet in his studies on HeartAttackProof.com. We have rampant cancer, hypoglycemia, arthritis, etc., and the rest of the westernized world is following close behind.
Juice Feasting is coming online just when society needs it most desperately to transform these preventable and reversible health challenges.

An Adventure in Juice Feasting

JUICE FEASTING INGREDIENTS
You have to find the zeal in yourself and bring that out. That is what is given to you—one life to live. Marx teaches us to blame society for our frailties; Freud teaches us to blame our parents; astrology teaches us to blame the universe. The only place to look for blame is within: you didn’t have the guts to bring up your full moon and live the life that was your potential.
– Joseph Campbell, Pathways to Bliss
We have drawn in the best things possible to create Juice Feasting not only as a Program of physical healing, but significant life shifts and global transformation that make cleansing a personal experience that has a worldcentric effect.
The most successful Juice Feasters we have coached have not seen the improvement of their physical health as a life shift that can occur in a vacuum. Rather, a shift in your health and diet can only be successful when done in the context of a greater life shift.
They practice what Integral Philosopher Ken Wilber calls “spiritual cross-training,” in which consistent practices of self-development that are seemingly unrelated work synergistically to improve performance of one another. In other words, you will be a better writer if you spend less time writing, and more time also adding in meaningful exercise, spiritual practices, cultural activities, nutrition, and so on.
Through cross-training and not just hyper-focusing on our diet as part of our personal evolution, we recognize that shifting to a diet of nutrient-dense plant foods is not an act that exists by itself, but part and parcel of a larger determination to acknowledge who you are at a fundamental level and to live your authenticity to the best of your ability.
In 1984, George Orwell coined the word doublethink to describe the act of knowing one thing and doing something else. When it comes to something as fundamental as your foods source, shifting to a non-toxic, life-affirming, worldcentric diet of nutrient-dense live foods encouraged by Juice Feasting will inform and support your choices in every avenue of your life. Those who are most successful at this draw in with purpose the best persons, information, events, environments, and experiences possible – and this makes the challenge of moving into live foods easier, as it is just one aspect of a greater life transformation. While live foods may be your first shift towards the amazing life that your deepest inclinations compel you, please view it – and make it – part of a larger Act of Love for yourself and all beings.
With that in mind, below is a taste of who and what we have accessed to create the Juice Feasting Program:
Mindfulness practice, yoga, rebounding, nutrition, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ken Wilber, Gabriel Cousens MD, David Wolfe, Speed and Photo Reading, The Law of Attraction, Victoria Boutenko, Gary Snyder, Paul Bragg, Max Gerson, Herbert Shelton, Gandhi, John Rose, Peak Oil, The Principle of Life Transformation, swaraj, Jeremy Rifkin, Helen and Scott Nearing, Jared Diamond, Peace Pilgrim, Wendell Berry, Jack LaLanne, Anthony Robins, Neville Goddard, conscious conception and birth, alternative fuels, art, music, The Hero’s Journey of Joseph Campbell, John Robbins, T. Colin Campbell PhD, and much, much more.
WHERE TO LEARN ABOUT JUICE FEASTING
"Availability is not enough. For Live Food Nutrition to be the truly transformative movement of our times, it must be made accessible to all."
– David Rainoshek, MA
JuiceFeasting.com
Ever since I (David Rainoshek) learned about Juice Feasting and Live Food Nutrition from my colleague and mentor John Rose in 2003, I have understood the importance of making these important Life Practices accessible to everyone, focusing all my attention on making them known and practiced worldwide.
Juice Feasting is so important, so significant to the global healing movement, whether it be in the arenas of human rights, ecology, health, agriculture, or peace, that it must be made known in a consistent manner to everyone.
In the interest of maintaining consistency and integrity of the practice and understanding of Juice Feasting, we have made the complete Juice Feasting Introduction available to everyone for free on JuiceFeasting.com, and so it will remain. This is your best online resource for up-to-date directions for how to Juice Feast by the creators of Juice Feasting as is now practiced by most of the people gravitating to this health practice.
The Secret of Juice Feasting 6-CD Set
Mike Adams The Health Ranger has joined forces with David Rainoshek, creator of JuiceFeasting.com to create a six-CD audio course called The Secret of Juice Feasting, introducing the system of Juice Feasting to listeners. The six-CD audio course features a live presentation by David and Mike, who discuss the "why" and "how" of Juice Feasting. It's a step-by-step course that teaches listeners how to follow Juice Feasting in their own kitchens, starting immediately. This is also a great audio course to get for your friends/family to listen to if they new to Juice Feasting and/or live foods. Mike and I tell our stories of entering the world of Living Foods in a way that is disarming and inspiring for the newcomer.
A Juice Feaster’s Handbook
One of David Rainoshek’s students, Angela Stokes, wrote a book based on his coaching/teaching of his Juice Feasting program called, A Juice Feaster’s Handbook which is a solid write-up of the practice, and an excellent primer to hear about a Juice Feaster’s experience first-hand. Angela and her husband Matt Monarch now advocate and teach about Juice Feasting worldwide, and you can find her book at www.rawreform.com
GlobalJuiceFeast.com
This site has been created so that the online community of Juice Feasters can flourish. This is the Global Juice Feast Headquarters, hosted by David and Katrina Rainoshek of JuiceFeasting.com. We will be posting articles and answering questions about Juice Feasting for 92 Days starting March 1, 2008, and will also include videos on the Global event throughout the Feast. We encourage you to register free on GlobalJuiceFeast.com and begin a Group for your area of Juice Feasters.
Juice Feasting: An Integral Hero’s Guide
Another resource for you that will be available soon is David Rainoshek’s upcoming book: Juice Feasting: An Integral Hero’s Guide based on his 5 years of Juice Feasting practice and teaching of thousands. Two years in the writing process, this book will be an authoritative guide to the practice of Juice Feasting, and the underlying purposes beyond physical healing that are at work with David Rainoshek’s Program. Included in this book will be excerpts from actual Juice Feasts as written in online accounts before and during the 2008 Global Juice Feast.
Blogs
No longer will raw food be a book-only, in-an-ideal-world, happens to others lifestyle; we will be seeing a surge of experiential experiences logged and blogged for the entire world to see from people in many different countries. Massive amounts of real world experiential data will swarm the blog world, inspiring others and laying aside doubt and leaving a trail for skeptics to follow and reassess their positions on diet and health. It will be incredible.
Justin S. Ohlander
More people are blogging about their Juice Feasts every day. These personal accounts are incredible and massively important for giving the gift of non-fear to the world vis-à-vis Feasting and Live Foods. Here are some blogs of note in which people have Juice Feasted very skillfully that will provide good information, inspiration, and support:
And right here we want to let all of you in this group above know just how much we love you and honor your compassion, intelligence, and commitment to yourselves and the world by Juice Feasting at this important time. What you have done – are doing – is leadership in the very best sense.
HOW TO CREATE LOCAL SUPPORT
Support is key. We cannot stress this enough. The reason you are seeing so many successful Juice Feasts now is because of the level of support and good information. Now that folks are breaking the four minute mile routinely, Juice Feasting is primed to go global.
First, create a Juice Feasting Group on GlobalJuiceFeast.com. It is free, and the community platform we have set up for you is fun, intuitive, free, and completely interactive. This is going to be a huge support network.
Next, send out an email announcement about the 2009 Global Juice Feasts to your local vegetarian/vegan/raw groups – all of them. This document is created for that purpose. Remember that Juice Feasting appeals to people across the dietary spectrum, so get this announcement out to all local groups that are sincere and intentional about creating excellent health and living abundantly.
Finally, once you have a group going, see about setting up weekly or bi-weekly juicy get-togethers (Its not a potluck – but a Juiceluck (a term created by Ayrie Cunliffe in Victoria, BC during the 2008 Global Juice Feast)). Consider setting up some classes and working together to create articles and do interviews. Get the word about Juice Feasting out to local health professionals who have been seeking this kind of health technology. But most importantly, be a source of love and support to one another that will have a lasting positive effect.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE 2009 GLOBAL JUICE FEASTS
First, you can expect that cleansing will never be viewed or practiced the same way again. As Mike Adams has said, “Juice Feasting is the future of medicine and health.”
Secondly, in your own life, you will have developed a solidity in yourself that will inform everything you do from now on. Juice Feasting is a Life Practice, and a collection of Life Practices, that will gather momentum and become part of who you are for the rest of your life. Drinking 12-15 lbs of fresh produce each day will train your physiology to ask for the foods that will keep you well and vibrant for all your years. Juice Feasting makes transitioning to a plant-based diet much more pleasant because of this “cellular training.”
Third, we are going to see a whole new crop of people coming to the world of nutrient-dense plant-based live foods, because Juice Feasting appeals to everyone up and down The Spectrum of Diet, making it a unifying health practice. This, too, is historic.
Fourth, the web is about to be loaded with videos. You can expect regular, entertaining and informative videos coming from JuiceFeasting.com’s David and Katrina Rainoshek as we Juice Feast and educate you, using the information from the 92-Day Juice Feasting and Live Food Nutrition Program.
Fifth, hundreds of new blogs written by Juice Feasters are going to manifest. We don’t know about you, but the news we are interested in now is not on MSNBC or CNN – it is the blogosphere of people shifting and transforming their own lives – and the world.
This brings us to the sixth notable thing you can expect: media attention. Many of my students over the years have been asked to do local interviews or write articles on their Juice Feasting experiences. A cleanse of this length, with so many people, producing amazing results, is going to attract the media, and many of us are going to contact the media, as well.
Remember, if you are Juice Feasting, you are a significant force for good in this world at this time. You become one of the most important people on the planet at a time when we need healing so very much.
How to Join the 2009 Global Juice FeastS
Please join us in whatever way you feel most comfortable. Some of us will want to add in a quart of green juice to your day and keep your diet relatively the same. Some will drink nothing but juice one day a week, some of you will Juice Feast for a week, 10 Days, 30, 60 and even up to 92-Days! We encourage you to just get juicy! If you have Juice Feasted previously and are not planning to do so during the GJF2009, perhaps you would like to lead a support group in your area, by starting a Juice Feasting movement in your area. We have established www.GlobalJuiceFeast.com so that you can create a Group online that everyone can connect through.
This may be a time for you to learn more about juicing, but you don’t quite feel ready to Juice Feast, that is perfect, too. You can follow along in the journeys of others who are Feasting, learn how to make juice, ask questions, get stoked to cleanse yourself and create the space you need for yourself so that you enter into your Juice Feast with confidence and trust. If you are ready to jump right in, jump right in! It will be a very exciting and vibrant time to Juice Feast with many others who are sharing in the journey with you.
Join us on www.JuiceFeasting.com or www.GlobalJuiceFeast.com for support, create a Juice Feasters meet-up group in your area, start a blog to share and document your process, read other people’s blogs, make your juice, and enjoy one of the greatest personal and collective Hero’s Journeys we can possibly experience at this important juncture. Let’s turn this train around as an Act of Love for future generations, and create a story of transformation worth writing about.
Now is the time for legendary work. We are the ones we have been waiting for.
With peaceful steps, honor, and love to you all,
