Hey Everyone!
Yay! I made
it back safely to the USA, and in time to take my medicine!
As many of you may know, I wasn’t too excited to go back to Ecuador.
When I used to live there, a lot went down for me, and I wasn’t looking forward to going back.
However, now that I’m back, I’m beginning to realize how much I love it there.
For now, we’ll be going to Ecuador for about half the year.
Angela is in the
process of fulfilling her green card requirements. Therefore, we have to be here for six months of the year. In the meantime, we’ll be headed Ecuador for the other 6 months of the year.
I'm so sorry that we sold out of the Alpaca blankets. I'm going to try to bring back 300 blankets (triple the amount) the next time around.
We should have some more blankets at the end of
this year, because we are going back and forth two times this year. We’ll also be bringing the best coffee in the world back at the end of this year.
As some of you may know, Angela works with a charity out in Ecuador called ‘Days for Girls’. They provide natural fabric menstrual pads. Ironically, Starbucks was looking for a charity to give back to in Loja, Ecuador, which is
exactly where Vilcabamba is. This area is known to have the best coffee in the world, and this is where Starbucks sources a good chunk of their coffee from. For this reason, they donated to Angela’s charity.
Carmita, who has been our main helper in Ecuador for the last 15 years, started her own coffee business. She gets the coffee beans directly from the land where Angela and the girls
live. I don’t drink coffee, but when you smell this ground coffee, it’s out of this world. It’s absolutely amazing how it’s all coming together. We’ll bring the coffee back on our next trip back from Ecuador.
I’m even contemplating doing retreats again out in Ecuador very soon, and renting out an entire eco-resort for the experience.
My health is obviously doing absolutely
phenomenal. If you get me started, I can’t stop!
Throughout all of the stress and travels, I still ended up healthy in the end. If I push too hard, I do have some minor symptoms, but I always end up fine after a few days of rest. In the past, I’d be done for. This trip was kind of the ultimate test, and I’m still standing and
doing great.
I’m doing so well in fact, that I’m actually considering going on tour again, lol, while I’m in the United States. We are doing great with the business, but I feel that for its long-term success, touring is a necessary step that I need to take.
Once this touring decision is made, I’ll be reaching out to you guys here on my Newsletter list to see if anyone has connections for
places to do talks. I’ll be doing Raw Food/Whole Foods/Superfood talks, but I may expand to Churches too.
I was malnourished for so long due to Ulcerative Colitis, that I feel that I need my Raw Goat Milk for protein and calcium wherever I go. So if I go touring, I get a little bit concerned about the availability of it. However, with this medicine that I’m on, I’m absorbing properly again, and I’m beginning to realize that I need
less food these days in order to function well. I drink juices all day long and then I eat one meal at night with Raw Goat Milk, and I am thriving.
You’ve probably heard me complain about the joints in my ankles and knees at times, etc. However, they are continually getting stronger. I can hold stretching positions now where my knees don’t hurt the next day anymore. It’s pretty amazing. I still drink
carrot juice every single day. I also take a lot of our Juice Powders daily. Our green juice powders are key, so powerful, so potent, and loaded with minerals, vitamins, and nutrition. I take a bunch of different kinds with my second glass of carrot juice later in the day. I like to put them directly into my mouth in between sips of drinking my carrot juice.
The spinach juice powder, Alfalfa Juice
Powder, Kamut Grass Juice Powder, they are all just amazing. We’ve been experimenting with making more juice powders lol. We are getting a little out of control here. My farmer guy who is working with Liquadry, the only place on the planet that has the technology to make truly raw juice powders, just made a broccoli juice powder that I just sampled. Broccoli juice isn’t one of my top juice
powders that I’m trying to get them to make, but now I am absolutely addicted to it.
Like the other green juice powders, it burns with life force in such a good different particular way. Imagine broccoli, I love the taste so much. It’s just loaded with Vitamin K, Potassium, Folate, and you get a solid dose of the antioxidant sulforaphane, which
studies link to fighting inflammation and possibly lowering cancer risk by neutralizing free radicals. I get so excited to take a spoonful each day with my second glass of carrot juice. It just tastes so good to me.
The broccoli juice powder is just a great way to get a variety of another set of nutrients. These green juice powders are great to take, because they seriously just cover your
grounds from getting nutritional deficiencies. Plus they just wake you up and give you that brain buzz, because they burn with life-force. You’ll feel this sensational burn if you put the powder directly into your mouth.. I’ll keep you posted on the Broccoli Juice Powder lol. I’m deciding if I want to get it now, because it’s available now, or wait until the next set of
new juice powders are ready in a few months. We’ve got a few new juice powders cooking, well, I mean growing, lol.
I’m usually secretive, but what the hey. After the Broccoli Juice Powder, we are making a golden beet juice powder. Can you imagine a golden living juice powder like that. He told me it’s going to be out of this world. As many of you know, our red beet juice powder is
absolutely exquisite. Also, we are going to do a separate juice powder that is only the tops of the red beets. That’s going to be intense. However, there are a lot of benefits to the beet tops. Dr. Norman Walker used to talk about them, and I’ll share the benefits when they are ready.
Then the big bad boy hopefully comes, celery in a few months.
They are still working on the regulations with that one, but they are making progress. Last time he told me that we’d hopefully have it by December of last year. That was one of the “Big Things” I was hoping for last year, when I kept saying I had a bunch of big things coming. If we get the Celery Juice, I will literally buy thousands of them, because I will personally
eat it all that myself! I bet it’s going to be an incredible salt replacement. Can you imagine the taste and the benefits of that Celery juice powder? I would take tablespoons of that stuff endlessly.
Anyhow, back to my story, when I had malabsorption, the doctors tried get me to eat endlessly, and always pushed those toxic protein drinks like
Ensure, lol. I never took those, but now look at me! I’m eating even less compared to when I was malnourished, and I’m doing better than ever before.
It’s just weird and scary though having to be dependent on a medicine in order to be healthy. Without this medicine, my body just starts to attack itself, I won’t absorb properly, and there is nothing I can
do about it. Trust me, I’ve tried everything. I am one of the most strict eaters on this planet, guaranteed.
Anyway, Ecuador was a lot of fun and I didn’t even realize how much fun I was having until I got back.
The four main things that I love about it there, is the clean air, the spiritual vigor, the inexpensive full time help,
and the monthly living costs go down by x4+.
Organic cucumbers are .20 -.25 cents each depending on the size. A single person can rent a place for $300 a month no problem. A full time 8 hour a day+ helper is $20 a day. This really helps me with work, and enables me to spend more time with my family. If you tipped at a restaurant, they would think that you went
mad, because there is no tipping there. To feed an entire family at a restaurant with an incredible amount of food is $20. The food is also incredible!
The air is super clean. I live in Florida when I am in the states, and I didn’t even realize how polluted the air was until I got back from Ecuador. However, the downside out in Vilcabamba, Ecuador is that many of the vehicles are on diesel.
One of the reasons why I’m more miserable about these diesel fumes compared to others, is because again I am one of the most strictest eaters on this planet. I am more sensitive to stuff like that due to the way I eat, and I believe it damages me more, because of it. Most people don't even have an issue with them.
Last and most importantly, is the spiritual composition of this place.
There is an entire spirit world that is not visible to our eyes. However, I believe it’s more real than this physical world. It is visible to our senses, but we are so used to these sensations, that we just write these experiences off as normal, and we categorize them into physicality, such as some specific kinds of emotions, feel good frills/sensations, pain, depression, etc.
The spiritual composition in
Ecuador is different than the USA. The only way that I can think of expressing it is that it’s more policed here in the states, like a pressure holding us down.
Anyhow, on the way back to the states, we visited our old horses that we used to have on our land, and I created a video of this visit. I was blown away at how Sparky my horse remembered me in this video. It was an almost etherial
experience. We also stopped in a small Ecuadorian town on the way to get to them,
I got it all on video at the link here below:

We also had a triple birthday party for my daughter and two other girls before we left Ecuador. They had breakfast, went horseback riding, and
had a party at a hostel.
I got that all on video too at the link here below:

As you can see, things are good and exciting in my world. As usual, I will keep you updated as we go about everything.
We’ve got all of our incredible
truly raw juice powders at one link here below:

Thank you all so much for your support.
Sincerely,
Matt
PS. I wrote this Newsletter
yesterday, and I'm making two additions here.
I was on my daily walk and it started to drizzle.
In jest, I insinuated to Jesus, "how could you do this during my walk?"
I did it with a laugh and was just joking. However, in order to protect my new shoes from the rain, I thought that I would try to
run.
Oh my gosh, I just took off and ran for the first time in 7 years.
I wasn't able to run before, because my joints were messed up from over the years of being ill. I literally thought that I would never run again.
I couldn't believe it. I even ran up a big hill with no problem.
When I ran up that
hill, I was huffing and puffing like crazy. I just had this huge smile on my face, as I was breathing hard, which was such a rare to experience for me.
I now see why the rain came!
This was big time for me. I see much more running in my future.
Anyhow, my farmer guy just sent me a picture of the
Golden Beet Juice Powder.
Check this bad boy out!
