My name is Fred Busch and I am a Raw Food Yogi.
I eat only 100% Raw food, I practice Yoga asana vigorously everyday.
I am experiencing the benefits of great physical strength, mental agility and connectedness to the universe. One cell at a time, one day at a time I am getting healthier and more full of love.
I am also just like any other person. I grew up on the pizza, burgers and pasta diet for the first 18 years of my life. I am not here to hold high moral ground. I am certainly not here to judge. I am here however to enlighten you to the possibility that there is a more fulfilling life to be led when you can align yourself to the laws of Nature by eating a natural diet and vigorously exercising.
I smoked cigarettes for 5 years, ate meat everyday and never ate salad or fruit until my twenties. Yet I was always attracted to nature and the natural world. My inclination to all things natural and wild led me to study Environmental Policy in university. I know from my own example that no matter how divorced we become from Nature in our lifestyle, the call to Nature endures. And so with that vision I see in everybody around me the pure and vast potential of Nature.
It is said that a gorilla can bench press 4000 lbs. The domestication of the wild human begins at the first bite full of cooked food.
While laying in bed for weeks with terrible headaches I had visions of myself exercising and sweating and EXPRESSING the gift of the human body and I saw the value of health above all. I was treated in Africa but decided that rather than go to India as I had intended, I had better return home and heal and hopefully return to full health.
Perhaps you are lucky enough to not have had to realize first hand that health is the most important thing in the entire world. If you already know about the value of health then you will begin to tear through these pages in earnest. If not, then let me simply tell you that no matter what else you can imagine, if you are not healthy, you have nothing.

Overview of the Spinal Cord
The other one of the overviews is that between heaven and earth, the spinal column—the spinal cord is the bridge, the energetic bridge that is able to bridge the energy—the earth energy, the heavenly energy—and it does that in steps. I want to give you the big picture and the big picture is that cosmic energy, cosmic radiation energy is a very high powered frequency. Cosmic meaning heavenly—but not just heavenly in—I mean literally of the cosmos, basically the radiation that the cosmic energy that exist out in the universe, meaning that the energy of the divine, but that—you know this is real—this is real energy, but this cosmic energy is very high-powered and we as little human beings are unable to handle it, unable to receive it.
The analogy is that you take an electrical machine and it has to be transformed, it has to be able to be received. So the first way of looking at this is that the energy has to be reduced to that you can use it because in the form that it is, it’s like trying to use a bolt of lightning, it’s way to powerful. That’s a very good analogy, the bolt of lightning, because that’s a natural, tight cosmic force. When we speak of cosmic force, it’s being other worldly powerful, that’s what we need. A bolt of lightning it is said if you could harness it and store it, which you can’t do, one bolt could power a city. This is the analogy of energy as it is in the universe being too big for our little bodies and our little nervous systems to handle because our nervous system is an electrical—electromagnetic system, meaning it’s like wiring a building. Your nerves conduct electricity, that’s what they do and your body’s controlling itself, one of the ways is electromagnetism, in other words, through electricity.

Low Back Pain
What is the best back exercise for healing lower back pain? So many times we get to question “what can I do for my lower back” or “what’s the yoga pose that is the best for this” or “what pose your going to do for that.” And, unquestionably it has supposed to have specific benefits and has the ability to affect the body in a specific and beneficial way so it’s not completely incorrect to think in those terms about “all right well I have lower back pain and I have pains and what can I do, what is the one exercise to get rid of it”. Basically it is the mentality and it is clearly understandable but it’s really important to see it differently not to see anything as a one exercise is going to do it or that only yoga pose is what is providing the effect. Because what is actually required is a fairly comprehensive sequence that is going to address to every muscle on the body in every degree is possible. It’s because the body and the muscles cooperates with each other during exercise and able to communicate and coordinate much more effectively when they are being practiced with the exercise and every muscle needs that not just that because you have to tighten or lengthen your hamstrings that that’s all you do because that by itself while they’re helpful isn’t quite enough the big picture is that your hamstring have to get lengthened in the context of the rest of your body getting stronger, healthier and more flexible as well.

Exercise and food
The reason why Vinyasa yoga is so good, this is the way I usually start with people, I usually start with people explaining that two things are required for perfect functioning of the brain, body and in other words health and peace, two things, exercise and food. Exercise has to be everyday, no exceptions and has to be perfect meaning systematic, comprehensive and vigorous, but not injurious, perfect and everyday. And then the food has to be as close to perfect as you want it to be. And as close to perfect as you can get it and still have fun in our life so to speak.
Now people who have one side of that mastered and not the other will always find a problem. People that are all into raw food look like the biggest group of weirdo’s you’ve ever seen. They don’t exercise, they don’t look healthy, the reason they’re not necessarily exercising right, and that’s the reason that they wouldn’t look healthy. If they did, they would look healthier than anybody. It’s a whole bunch of eat real and well but don’t know anything about yoga and exercise and they just eat well and good but they don’t exercise and it shows, because you can’t be healthy and not exercise. They’re the end of the spectrum or all the athletes out there who are going physical specimens but eat like shit and then they are also on the road to disaster. When they put the both of them together you have an environment of transformation, no potential that is profound, that’s what the program is.
giving it the opportunity to let your body be in this place that it loves to be which is exercising everyday and eating perfectly and resting a lot and all that stuff that it likes to do when its doing what it wants to do.

Sadhana
The Raw Food Yogi has a Raw Food-Yoga Sadhana and this is the foundation for his success. My Sadhana is that I practice Astanga Yoga every day except Saturday and that I eat only 100% Raw food. This to me is as much of a spiritual practice as a health regiment, and yet it is surely the healthiest regiment in the world. When I consider my Sadhana, I feel very deep spiritual feelings where the Sadhana is seen as the God’s Personal Vehicle to go and do as a vessel of Natual Law.
And it has been the Sadhana aspect of my practice that is the most important. When it is a spiritual practice, it just feels different than a regular “workout”. It may be possible to skip a “workout” pretty easily but less likely to try to fool the divine universal
Any body can have a Sadhana. What I hope to inspire is that the Sadhana of eating Raw Food and doing vigorous Yoga practice is the most powerful for healing and restoring.
Sadhana does not have to start out as 100% Raw and practicing yoga 2 hours everyday immediately. Actually it is started quite humbly. Just start by eating one banana a day more than you would have eaten, and start with one sun salutation everyday. This Sadhana would take about 1 minute and a half. Yet it is just as spiritually powerful as any other. Then the next week two extra bananas and two sun salutations. In a few months, taking it very slowly, you can evolve your Sadhana so that you only eat fruit before noon and you do 30 minutes of Yoga daily. This is powerful stuff. All you have to do is start.
To consider your daily actions to be spiritual acts delivers great strength. Sadhana is a personal practice or discipline done without attachment to the fruits of the actions.
Sadhana is the vehicle. You do it everyday!
Sadhana is a Sankrit word for “Daily Spiritual Discipline or Practice,” and is the foundation to the practice of Yoga. All great people have great Sadhanas.
Deepok Chopra, one of the most respected healers in the world, begins each day at 4am with Sitting Meditation and Yoga until 6am and then he writes for 2 hours all the material for his many books, and then does some exercise, ALL BEFORE 9AM. And so he says that he has taken care of his entire being, Mind, Body, Spirit and Livelihood, all before 9am so that everything that happens in the rest of the day is just extra. This is one of the most powerful Sadhanas that I have ever heard of and it is not surprising that it comes from such a successful person.
Not most days, everyday! There are no “I don’t feel like it todays”! It is not a question of “if?” you are gonna practice that day, but rather “when?”.
