the Eden Fruitarian guidebook ...

I have some news with my books…

Firstly, my second book, the Eden Fruitarian guidebook has now been published …

the Eden Fruitarian guidebook

It's 390 pages, so slightly bigger than Destination Eden … It's not so much a sequel, but more of a complimentary book, expanding on the ideas expressed within the first book.

Also, yesterday, February 2, 2016, saw the official release date of the revised second edition version of Destination Eden. The publishers are asking if anyone who has read the book would care to give a short one or two line review on the Amazon page, www.amazon.com/Destination-Eden-Fruitarianism-Mango-Wodzak/dp/1940184258 (and take a look at the other reviews while doing so!) any support in doing so will be greatly appreciated!

about two weeks ago, an Italian version of Destination Eden was also released to the public:

and also a Serbian translation:

A couple of other language translations are in the pipeline… A German version, and also a Spanish version… I will post here when they are both ready; sorry, cannot give a time estimate.

Fruitarian Book - 6 - My Path to Freedom

A couple of weeks back I stumbled across a forum talking about a Swedish Fruitarian named Tørd Lyseving, a fruitarian of 24 years to date..

Always excited to meet another solely fruit eating person into fruitarianism, I googled around some, found his email, and got in touch with him, asking if he would be up for an interview on my blog.

Days later, I received an email reply back from him, and an agreement to be interviewed..

Author of 7 books, 6 in Swedish, and 1 in English, Tørd has kindly sent me a copy of his English book, "My Path to Freedom" Self-Published in 2005.

Tørd is 66 years young, and eats purely fruit. (Fruitarian since 1985).

His book arrived on Friday (17th July 2009), one day after I finally got around to sending him an Interview, and I spent the rest of the day reading it, finishing it less than 24 hours later, the following day around noon..

Picture from Swedish Newspaper Afton Bladet

Much of what he writes fully echoes my own sentiments.. - the effect diet has played in forming the apparent chaotic world we live in, and the global need for change..

Like myself, the guy seems to be another of us self-proclaimed eternal optimists, that believe that the world will change for the better, and that the revolution of consciousness needed for that change is really unavoidable..

He tells us how he got started on his fruitful path, and quotes insightful stories from his own past, together with many of his interesting thoughts on how things one day could be..

Sitting reading Tord's book

He also gets a little scientific at times, although I must hasten to add, it's not the kind of science one might expect.. He goes into the whole "Biological Transmutation" thing (never heard of it? - I have an article about that on my main website, here), I must admit, I skipped much of this as personally have no real desire to get into that kind of stuff anymore.. Similarly he gets a little mathematical at times, as he demonstrates some of the equations he's put together..

He envisions a free an radically different world, void of suffering.. - In his own words, taken from the book:

---

Freedom for me is freedom from disease, pain, premature aging and all ailments connected to this (which are degenerative symptoms), agressive behaviour, negative manipulation, negative thoughts and harmful power and control, including financial control, and it's my conviction and experience that fruit gives you this freedom.

and..

No love comes from meat, because meat creates disharmony. Fruit gives life and spiritual growth. eating fruit gives peace in body and mind.
I am not trying to prove anything; I just want to show a way of LOVE without battles, wars, disease, conflicts, jealousies and mistrust.

---

Anyone interested in reading his books, can go to Tørd's website and order them from there..

Keep watching here to read his interview when it is ready (I'll update this particular blog entry with a direct link to it once it has been published here)..

Peace and hugs to all,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 5 - The Fruit Hunters

Well.. Not exactly a fruitarian book, it's more of a fruit lovers book, and recounts the story of the author's adventures in search of some of the worlds rarest exotic fruits..

The front cover describes the book as a story of nature, adventure, commerce and obsession.. It's written by a guy named Adam Leith Gollner, and is an account of the world of fruit, and of those that appreciate it..

He describes in great detail many of the most delightful fruits he's encountered, as well as some of the fellow fruit loving enthusiasts he's met on his travels, - creators of new fruit varieties, fruit smugglers and even a few fruitarians!!

There's info about the history of fruit, and of the dodgy practices of the international fruit trade, with info on biochemical growth inhibitors, hormone-based retardants, dyes, waxes and corrupt USDA inspectors.

Enjoy..
Peace to all,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 4 - The Path to Paradise

Just a quick shout out about the latest fruitarian book to hit the streets:



It's from Fruitbat Anne. Anyone interested can visit and order from Anne's website by clicking on the image above.

Peace to all,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 3 - The Health Revolution

Ross Horne had been on a fruitarian diet for 3 years at the time of writing this book.

I first read it around the mid 1990s and must admit I was pretty impressed with most of what he says.

Some of it is pretty scientific, but still easy enough for the average bod to get to grips with, and most of it is really all about common sense, which is right up my street as that's the approach that I prefer, so this book really hit home with me.

It looks like the price is a little steep on Amazon at the moment, but if anyone is interested in a copy and willing to pay for it via paypal, then leave a comment, or drop me an email, and I will keep my eye open for a 2nd hand copy of it here in Sydney.. I seem to recall seeing a copy of one in a 2nd hand shop we go to sometimes..

Meanwhile, this is a poem printed in the back of the book, that I think is really quite profound:

The Ambulance at The Bottom of The Valley.

Hugs,
Mango.

Book Review - 1 - The Mystery of 2012

A non Fruitarian book review.

This is a book about the predictions, prophecies and Possibilities for the year 2012..

As you may know already, according to some pretty ancient civilizations, the year 2012 is the predicted end of the world as we know it.

That's not to say the world blows up, just that things will change.. Whether the change be a shift in global conscience or something far less subtle is uncertain.

2012 is deeply ingrained in the Mayan calender prophecy and culture..

These are some words taken from the book The Mystery of 2012:

It seems that we could be in for a ramp up in human evolution and/or for catastrophes affecting the solar system... The Maya apparently pointed to an event where on the solstice of 21st December 2012, our sun lines up with the equator of the milky way - a once in a 26,000 years event..

Well.. we won't have to wait too much longer to find out whether or not anything vastly different will happen then.. Just  over 4 & half years away now, and we all know time flies.. 

Here's hoping that we are all safe, growing fruit trees, and away from the cities by then, because if something should happen, the cities are definitely not the place to be..

hugs,
Mango.

Fruitarian Book - 2 - Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda

Not entirely a 100% fruit biased book, it most definitely did encourage me in that direction when I first read it some 15 years or more ago.. Actually, I would be quite surprised if the author himself has not become 100% fruitarian since writing the book.

I really love the author's, (Joe Alexander) bold no nonsense common sense style. He just gets straight to the point and says what he thinks.

This is a great, inspirational piece of work, and something any budding fruitarian would benefit from reading...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I can't emphasize enough the importance of being inspired while transitting to a fruitarian diet as there is absolutely no doubt in my mind how diabolically addictive cooked food really is, so every word of encouragement should be welcomed heartily...

Hope you read and enjoy it!

Hugs as always,
Mango.

How long does it take to totally clean out ones system?

During my years as a fruitarian, I have been asked on numerous occasions how long it takes before one can bask in the benefits of a fruitarian diet.

Well, in my opinion, one begins benefiting immediately, but clearly that may not always be apparent to the practitioner..

In many cases, it may appear that the reverse might even be true, that one actually feels worse on a fruit diet, as at some point, detox will inevitably raise its ugly head and stick its gnarled clubbed foot in the door..

How long it will take to get totally clean will be different for each individual, taking from just weeks for some, and many months or possibly even years, for others..

It will all depend on age and state of health, and living environment, quality of fruit, and surely other factors that are too many to mention.

As a rule of thumb, the younger and healthier one is, the easier and smoother things should flow, and the quicker the benefits of fruitarianism should be visible..

To make it more clear what you actually have to contend with, I would like to mention a story Morris Krok mentioned in one of his books.

Morris had been on a predominantly fruitarian diet for some years (It's been some years since I read the story, so bare in mind that I'm quoting from memory, and don't have exact details of the story handy). Anyhow, he was in peak physical health and was running marathons on a pretty regular basis, often travelling around his country (south Africa) to attend different organised marathons..

On one particular occasion, he travelled to a town and checked in to a motel in preparation for a marathon due to begin the following morning.. That evening, while relaxing in his room, someone knocked at his door..

Morris got up to see who was there, and to his surprise, a woman he had not seen for many years stood in front of him. - An old flame.. - Let's call her Doris, just to give the story some added flavour. Morris and Doris had been going out together years previously, some time before Morris had moved onto a fruitarian diet.

Now Doris had heard rumors that Morris was in town and staying at the local Motel, so thought she would surprise him with an impromptu visit.. Not wanting to arrive empty handed however, she took a bar of chocolate along with her... And not just any old bar, mind, but a particular branded bar that she knew was (or had been) Morris's favourite..

Now Morris was taken aback and pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face in an unfamiliar setting, and for whatever reason or excuse he may have given himself, he decided to share the chocolate with Doris, and together, they slowly polished off the chocolate bar while reminiscing on days that once were..

...Now on to the result.. And this is pretty profound, so I really hope you can all learn something from it.. brace yourself!

The following morning, Morris awoke with terrible cramps.. I think in his legs, but they may have also been his stomach.. So severely it affected him, that he was not only unable to run the marathon he had intended, but also he recalls that it took him one whole week before he had fully recovered and felt his normal fit self!!

So think about that.. If it can take a healthy body one whole week to recover from just half a bar of chocolate, image how long it will take for a body to recover from 20, 30, 40, 50 years of constant dietary mistakes!?!?..

So please please don't expect immediate noticeable results, but do rejoice if you should get them!!

Hugs to one and all,
Mango.

Some thoughts on cravings and fruitarianism..

Cravings are something that I have often been asked about:

How do you deal with cravings on a raw food Fruitarian diet?

Unfortunately, there is no immediate simple solution to that one..

I reckon, there is probably not a single raw fooder or fruitarian out there, that has not had to deal with cravings, and only a small handful may have actually succeeded in not letting cravings win at their temptation..

I for one gave in to cravings countless times before I eventually succeeded in overcoming them.. It took me years. Literally!!

But that doesn't mean that it will take you that long.. Let my experience be more of a "light at the end of the tunnel" thing.. Because it is possible.

Kveta recently also posted a blog entry on cravings too:  Kveta's thoughts on addiction and cravings

Her recommendation is to read the Anthony Robins book.. 

I've not read it myself, but he is apparently great at helping people overcome addictive issues in their lives, and the book "Awaken the Giant Within" may be of great benefit to those of you that are struggling with cravings and possibly binge eating.

What I want to tell you is that truly, you are not alone.. Much as it may seem that way at times!

You have to remember that you basically are coming off a life long drug addiction. And don't deceive yourself that it will be easy.. Let no one try to fool you otherwise.

In my opinion the most important thing you can have to succeed, is faith in the goal. If you don't forget, or loose sight of it, you will succeed, and health and vitality will be yours as it is your birthright..

If you fail, don't be mad at yourself unless you find it productive for you to be so..

if you keep failing, you are not mad, you are human. if you persevere, you will get there, as I did, and many others before me..

I have every faith that you can do it!

Remember, giving in to a craving, just feeds it and makes it more difficult to be rid of it, so for a while you may need will power and steady determination.. But if you should keep failing.. - be the observer!! Watch how your body reacts to forbidden foods.. Understand the harm that you may be doing to yourself, and eventually that feeling of "regret" should guide you back on the right track..

If you are having trouble at all with quiting animal products, whether it be the flesh or the stolen milk, or eggs, it may help and encourage you to read more books on facts behind the animal food industry.. For myself, I had such a great moral feeling that supporting that trade was fundamentally wrong, that I never once looked back or felt tempted to touch such nonfoods.. This knowledge really helped me to never really even experience cravings for animal flesh and its ilk..

Reading is naturally a source of great help and encouragement, and a good book can really spur your determination onward..

Don't be too hard on yourselves.. Remember you are in a tricky situation.. like being an alcoholic in a world full of alcoholics.. So it takes a special person to break free.

peace and well wishes to you.
