During my twenty years as a globetrotting DJ, I played many gigs on the island of Ibiza, Spain. I also lived in Ibiza, when I first moved to Europe in 1991.

For those of you who don’t know, Ibiza is a famous place for nightclubs, DJs; the music and fashion scene in general.

There was one trip to Ibiza though, that I’d never forget: the year was 2005, and I was trying to quit smoking.

I remember comparing quitting smoking to having to deal with my father’s death, as it was one of the most difficult things I had gone through in my life.

I couldn’t bear the thought of being defeated by an addiction. I always thought I’d be stronger than that.

While waiting for my flight to Ibiza at Gatwick Airport in London, I was dying to smoke a cigarette.

Anxiety flooded me, so I ate some fast food just before boarding the flight, and remember thinking: I will stop smoking when I arrive to Ibiza.

On arriving to the island, I felt intense electricity that swept my whole body, and an urge to smoke that was killing me.

Of course, I ended up lighting up.

The lesson I learned on that trip was that eating the wrong food doesn’t help your body when trying to fight addictions. This lesson stayed with me thereafter.

I tried using various methods to quit smoking afterwards, which included nicotine replacement therapy such as patches and gums, but nothing worked.

I even did a treatment using the pill, Chantix, for a few months but that didn’t work either.

What did worked for me (in part), was reading Allen Carr’s books.

Allen Carr was a British author who published books about quitting smoking and other psychological dependencies. His approach had a huge impact on my understanding of addictions.

But I have to say that, even adopting Allan Carr’s philosophy to quit smoking wasn’t quite enough for me; I was still hooked on cigarettes.

I thought to myself in despair that this may be my destiny and I would die from a smoking related illness.

I didn’t care about dying, itself, because death is certain to us all. However, I didn’t want to die from a horrible disease, like smoking.

Luckily, help was at hand.

As soon as I discovered the science of Natural Hygiene, and started reading literature by Herbert M Shelton; things changed.

I learned how to incorporate raw food into my daily life in a way that made my body become my ally and my friend; this was a critical point.

By eating correctly, my own body started rejecting toxins, and I became stronger and only then did I find the inner power to quit smoking for good.

It makes sense, doesn’t it? If you live in harmony with nature, nature finds a way to help you.

And this is what my program, Health For Life, is all about; and why I wrote it.

It’s about how to incorporate raw food into your diet in a way that makes your body become your ally; you can overcome disease and get heathier in a variety of ways.

It’s also the same program that helped my mother defeat cancer.
