Testimonials

Dear Storm and Jinjee:

I just finished watching the Breakthrough DVD
and was mightily impressed and inspired; and
this piece has convinced me to go raw (again).

The Italian word for courage is bravo. I say
Bravo! Bravo! for Breakthrough. It takes courage
to confront paradigms of error. It also takes
courage and poise to invite others in your home
and lives.

Your children are wonderful. They looked vibrant
and healthy and full of joy! A Grand And Glorious
Family.

What a Great Work you two have embarked upon.

Thanks for sharing your insights and the spirit
of life in which you all live.

Welldone!!

Hi Jinjee,

I justed wanted to tell you that I received my copy of your Breakthrough DVD yesterday, and I must say that you are pretty much living my vision of utopia (except mine would have a couple of canine companions in it).

I drifted off to sleep with those images in my head last night - best sleep I've had in weeks and weeks.

Yesterday I received the "Breakthrough" DVD. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. Though I am always careful about what I eat, I still need to make changes to a more natural diet. I will begin today!

Dear Jinjee

My son & I watched your DVD and loved it!!

It's so wonderful that you & Storm were strong enough to resist main stream society and live your
dream.

I'm sure you are getting used to hearing this by now, but everything your family shared in the film
is so close to my heart and something I've been searching for so many years.

By sharing your lovely intimate story, you will inspire so many countless others to change their
lives to a more spiritually aligned lifestyle that will positively benefit our world in so many
different ways.

I'm in the proccess of putting together some basic classes to help people transition to a
vegetarian diet and with your permission I would like to share parts of your DVD with my students.


Kindest regards,
Lisa Chang


I just received your DVD in todays mail. It was so wonderful to watch. The film fills you with peace and calm. Your children are so healthy, bright and filled with self confident....even the more quiet one. Your home so calm and peaceful. I have been raw for 2 months now my family not very supportive but my husband was excited to see your e-book on muscle building. He watched your film and has a better understanding of this raw life style. Keep up the good work.


Wow! the documentary is beautiful and refreshing! I would love to
show this to friends and family and especially my college community at
WSU in Pullman, WA. This film should be shown at film festivals and
around the world.
It is inspiration to try and be raw vegan for life!

Thank you so much, Jinjee. I just received the "Breakthrough" CD and watched 30 min. of it this afternoon while the girls were napping. Aside from all the wonderful aspects of your lives and the wisdom you have found shown in this documentary, I just want to say how nice it is to see REAL human beings living like...REAL human beings!!! It is a joy to know that your children can experience the wonders of life and the world around them WITH their parents. Time goes so fast....let's enjoy our precious darlings while they are young!!! And if we are smart about taking care of ourselves, they can enjoy us too. Yay yay yay for you! And thank you again.



Blessings and Love,

Hi Jinjee,

I just ordered the RAW VEGAN special last night. One of my main motivators in ordering it was a desire to read your journal. I had already ordered the recipes ebook about 6 months ago, but I saw your new DVD when I listened to Storm's interview on RAWVEGANRADIO and new I had to get the whole package.

I started reading your journal, beginning with the first posted entry, last night. It was a REAL "page-turner". Even though I wanted to go to bed, I just couldn't stop reading. Sharing in your journey into the RAW lifestyle was very cathartic and comforting. It feels good to know that other people go through the same challenges and know that you aren't alone. You are a real inspiration for pursuing your passions in life-work, family, music, spirituality, exercise. We are all facing different mountains but we just need to keep on climbing.

Love and light,

Dori Lewis



Hello Jinjee and Storm:
 
Greetings from Orange Park, Florida!
 
How wonderful it is to have come into your presence! I thank God for you and all that you do and share with the world! What shining examples you are of pure love! May you continue to be blessed abundantly!
 
Thank you for the links to your powerful and uplifting e-books. I now eagerly await the arrival of your documentary. :-)
 
I have so much to say to you that I don't quite know where to begin. However, since you mentioned that you'd love to hear how I found your site, I'll start there! :-)
 
A week ago--Sunday, February 19--in a moment of needing some level of uplifting (for whatever reason), I came to the computer in search of any information about vegetarian health and wellness that would spark my interest. (This type of information always gives me a boost.) As fate would have it, my moment of needing a little uplift turned into a profound journey. I ended up finding far more than I was expecting; I "met" The Talifero Family! :-)
 
I really can't remember what keyword I had entered in my search last Sunday, but before I knew it, I was on a site I had never come across before! I think it was www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com and then from there I was obviously spiritually led to www.thegardendiet.com. The minute I arrived at your site, I felt something powerful. Clearly, God spoke to me! Some amazing energy surrounded me precisely upon seeing the faces of the members of your beautiful family, and that feeling has not left me since!
 
It is difficult to put this feeling into words--which is odd for me given that I am a freelance writer who also loves to talk. Since words cannot do justice to this "energy" I felt upon arriving at your site (and continue to feel), I know it's something spiritual going on! Jinjee and Storm, you are doing some AMAZING work. It is indeed an honor to be learning from you--and growing through you!
 
My family and I enjoyed watching the online clip of your family making Creamy Peach Pie. Last night, I attempted to make it, and it turned out delicious. I was so proud of myself.:-) My 10-year-old son, Caleb, enjoyed cutting up the peaches--and eating pieces of them along the way! :-)
  
I'm feeling a strong connection to you and your work, and am thanking God for angels such as you!
 
In Love and Health with hugs and smiles for you,

I am reading your e-books online and have spent the entire day in front of this computer!!! WOW!!

I am totally fascinated with this and enjoy the good reading.

I am 55 years old (female) and have been trying to go raw on and off (mostly off!!) for a few years now. I have incorporated a few good things in my diet but would like to go RAW once and for all. I LOVE YOUR APPROACH!!!! I really think this is why I never could get a handle on this raw life style before as I got sick and tired of all the EXTREMELY DIFFICULT recipes with attachments ( S-blades, etc) and dehydrators. I don't own any of those but I do have a great juicer and juice several times a week. I have seen a lot and read a lot, but your no-nonsense approach and easy recipes are a great find at $20.00.

You and your wife (and all the children) seem wonderful and are very inspiring. Thanks so much. You FINALLY gave me some advice that I can follow!!!

You guys are awesome!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

Yes! Thank you! I watched Breakthrough. I have been so inspired by your family. My dc LOVED the story of Jome and the Footprints! HAHAHAHA! My dh was able to catch about 15 minutes of it before he went to work one night, and he is totally into raw foods now. He has suffered from asthma his whole life and a strange condition called "hypersomnia" where he is tired all the time, no matter how much sleep he gets and he falls asleep at a moments notice. He has even fallen asleep while waiting for a red light to change! My guess is that he is in desperate need of detox, and that the hypersomnia will resolve itself. If you recall, my boys have autism and they are doing very well transitioning to raw. My 3rd boy is 5 and we have cured his chronic running nose thru raw. I'm 99% sure it's a wheat/gluten allergy. I am feeling so much better, my mild depression is lifting and I have more energy than I have had in years. I am just so thrilled for the positive changes in our lives and I am forever grateful for the work of you and your family.
Also-thank you so much for the print. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm off to the store to buy a frame. I'm going to keep it in my kitchen to be inspired daily.
Thank you again.

Shannon
