I have to tell this story:
For several years, I've been getting my hair cut at the same salon. They've seen me sick/fat, and healthy/fit. If you read my story....you'll understand! Of course this impressed them, and questions were asked. No real action though.
The salon owner herself, cuts my hair and her husband happens to be very sick with type 1 diabetes. "Sometimes the kid's sleep with him to make sure he's still breathing," she would tell me. I told her about the film, Raw for 30 Days, I've invited her to events. I even wrote a short "beginner's guide" for her last year." She didn't have time to read it nor did she ever watch the 8 minute Raw for 30 Days trailer online.
Last month, she was looking worn. She told me that her husband had been in the hospital, "He is not doing well." She has three children, runs the business with the help of her husband's brother, works constantly to keep the family going. We talked but my concern was now more about her. She said, "He just doesn't want to make changes in a serious way." So I told her to just make them for herself and kids. That, "You can't change other people. Do if for your health." (she is overweight and very stressed) Once he sees these changes, he'll naturally transition along with you. She said, "Yeah.....I know." The usual response.
Then the packet of Raw For Life DVD's from Mark Perlmutter arrived. Two days ago, I went back for another hair cut. I handed her a brand new copy of the DVD Raw For Life . I told her, "Happy New Year." Plus, inside the packet.....I added a copy of our newsletter and upcoming events. She looked at the DVD cover and read some of the features. She said, "I know a lot of these people in this DVD.....famous names!" Then she told me that her husband had been released from the hospital for Christmas and he is still home for now. "Tonight, we'll watch it together." I left it at that.
I knew that if they just played it......just plugged it in out of curiosity, that they would be glued. I figured that surely, they would at least press the "Play" button on their DVD player.
Last night, I ran into her brother-in-law, who also manages her salon. His brother is the one that is so sick. He says to me, "You wouldn't believe it....My brother watched this DVD last night and today he went to the store and bought all these vegetables! That DVD had a bunch of testimonies from people that were cured from diabetes and more!! He's throwing everything out in their kitchen......The kids think he lost his mind!!!"
Apparently, he was not aware that I had given his now "nutty" brother the DVD!!!
Yes, it's that powerful.....
I had ordered 21 sets to take to my upcoming events to have on hand to make it easier for people to purchase and use right away. But, they are already gone and my next event isn't until Thursday! I've ordered more but that's the impact it's been having from the few that have had the opportunity to view the discs.
Then......I went to tell Mark, the creator and producer of the film, "Raw for 30 Days."
Does anyone even know he's here with a profile page? I didn't think so! Because he still only has one friend. Me.
Want to know where he is? Here is his "secret" profile:

You'll want to add him as your friend!!! For sure! If you haven't seen his work, I have all the promos up on my youtube page:

The DVD's are powerful...and EVERYONE is featured in this set! From David Wolfe, Dr. Gabriel Cousins, Dr. Brian Clement, etc. Everyone needs a copy of this DVD. If you have a meetup group, share the cost and hold community screenings. All the proceeds go to fund the release of the film, "Raw for 30 Days." And the 2 disc DVD set is only 29.95.
Anyway, at least make Mark your friend. I've been his only friend since he joined last week! He needs a new photo too! Who is that!
I am set up as an affiliate with proceeds going toward my Midwest community mission. You can either get it from me here, or Mark or the many others that support this work! My link to purchase the DVD is here:

This DVD is priceless! It's a gift of health not only for yourself, but for your family, friends.....and yes, the person that cuts your hair!!!
And....it's so much easier for me these days now that I gave a copy to all my family members. Because when they ask the same health question that I've heard for three years? Now I can say, "Just stick it in and watch it!"
And don't forget to add Mark as a friend! Maybe he should change his profile name to, "Raw for Life DVD!!!"
