Last fall, I was cleaning a dehydrator and I happened to throw some of Igor’s Live Flax Bread crumbs in the office garden. None of our staff planted this small patch of beautiful blue flowers. With the help of local farmers, these flowers were identified as flax! They grew exactly from the place where I dumped the crumbs. Live bread it is!

Suddenly I remembered the sky blue fields of flax from my Russian childhood, only we called it ‘linen.’ I will keep you posted as to how many bushels I harvest.

This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase this high-speed blender at an unheard of price.

Vitamix Turboblend 4500 (2 horsepower) with a new toxin-free container available at a special discounted price of $310 with free shipping! Stock is limited. To order please contact Ron Strauss at 707-928-4170 or email: rstrauss@mchsi.com to order.

I have passed this information on to the local Waldorf School and they are already loving their new Vitamix.

Let’s talk! I receive hundreds of e-mails every day. Not only can I not possibly answer them all, our computer (with two hard drives) cannot handle them. My staff is compelled to delete many without even opening them.

What’s the solution? I will answer your most frequently asked questions in a live 90-minute teleconference. You will be able to send your questions as soon as you sign up for the teleconference.

Examples of questions that I will be answering:

When I make green smoothies, is it okay to mix fruits and vegetables?

What about oxalic acid in spinach?

Can diabetics drink green smoothies?

On Monday night, we invite you to gather your friends and family around the computer. There are two options: listen on the phone (long distance charges apply) or gather around the computer and communicate by e-mail (no long distance charges apply).

You may listen to the teleconference live, or access the recording at your convenience for 30 days, through July 16th.

For every teleconference order, we will send a free copy of the book Raw Family: A True Story of Awakening autographed by Victoria.

The price of the teleconference is $10.00.
