I get emails from my subscribers (via the Juicing and Natural Health Newsletter, of course) all the time.

Here’s one that came in this morning:

[You mention a book], please tell in in STRAIGHT langange what I am doing wrong all of the sudden or tell me the name of the book I need to buy. I was doing sogood and then allthe sudden NOTHING. Please help me.”

And my response was basically one that said, I don’t know enough about YOU to give you the RIGHT answer, and I sure as heck am not going to give a subscriber who asks for solid help a line of B.S..

See, this is a constant dilemma I write about, but as new subscribers come aboard I repeat: what may be working for one person, is not necessarily the right answer from everybody else. I know you want blanket answers that offer a “magic bullet“, but the truth and the fact of the matter is, that’s not the way things work.

I know…I know…that’s what is marketed, that’s what people spend millions of dollars on, but at the end of the day, they have spent their money and STILL have the same frickin’ problem! How is THAT a solution?

You want answers now. You want me to stop everything I am doing and invest my time to help you. ALL I know about you is what you have told me in your emails. I problem solve and DO invest the time into my subscribers, because it matters to me. But, you know what, a lot of times after I’m milked for expertise, they unsubscribe and don’t even reply with a thank you. And that kinda sucks…

Now some subscribers give me all the details, or answer my follow up questions, and we’ll go back and forth for awhile trying to figure out what’s right and what’s not. Plus, realistic folks who want REAL SUCCESS, know that REAL RESULTS are NOT going to happen in the very second after they read my answer. Depends on the problem or their issue. Some problems have occurred over their LIFETIME, some just boil down to foods they eat or an allergy, or take something more serious like chemical castration that has occurred thanks to years of taking prescription drugs - - think THOSE are EASY questions to answer? Hell No!

Heck, licensed doctors, who have spent their lifetime in medicine, are NOT giving them straight answers, or don’t know WHAT TO DO - - think about that for a moment

SEE I get those kind of questions CONSTANTLY. I respond to my email, I communicate A LOT. I don’t share every email that FLOODS my email in-box in search of REAL, NATURAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS, because those conversations are private.

Not to mention it is frankly, quite the workload to invest that kind of time - - TO DO IT RIGHT - - into hundreds upon hundreds of people like you and me who are sick and tired of bullshit answers, blanket-cure-all “solutions” that aren’t SPECIFIC TO YOUR PROBLEM.

It’s like this. I take my role seriously.

I’ve been where you are, seeking answers, wanting straight talk, and frustrated as hell I couldn’t find help from people who said they were there to help, or actually walked the walk like they talked the talk. I FEEL YOUR PAIN. And it’s not your fault that you’re having trouble. There’s a GIANT HAIRBALL of MIS-Information out there convincing you to do the OPPOSITE of what will Ultimately HELP YOU, Make You Healthy, Fill You With Energy, Give You A Good Night’s Sleep, Rejuvenate You, the list, THAT LIST goes on and on and on…

Really. I hear your frustration. I read between the lines, and SEE that you just want the boiled down, right solution to solve YOUR problem. But, look at it from my point of view. How can I best help you? Have you supplied me with the kind of information that is worthy of expert advice?

And for goodness sakes. It’s not like I’m hiding. My direct contact is plastered in the newsletters (from the VERY FIRST ONE), on every video I’ve ever published, even on this juicing and natural health companion blog and you know that if you’ve sent me an email. And I don’t just get questions with people looking for answers from subscribers only; questions come in from all around the world - - daily.

People who have been referred by a friend, or heard me talk somewhere, or read an article I’ve written, or seen a video, or has had a conversation with me, or is referred by an expert in their field or whatever. THAT’S a LOT of people all wanting my attention, all wanting it now, and all wanting what you want - straight answers, natural health solutions, but here’s the catch - they want each answer to WORK for THEM, personally.

Those are the answers I strive to constantly provide. It’s NOT easy to do ALL that.

This little juicing and natural health project started with a small, TINY list of 5 people, INCLUDING ME and a BEST FRIEND on that list! And it has EXPLODED with popularity. People are spreading the word, telling their friends, family and co-workers, getting this information to their parents, or sharing it with people who are unhappy and sick, or whatever the case. That kind of exponential following is quite the responsibility, to say the least.

Honestly, I don’t know all the details about how this underground juicing newsletter has multiplied so rapidly like men and women throwing gasoline onto a brush fire. But I tell you what, it’s happening! People are taking notice. They know they don’t have to swallow the shovel fulls of health bullshit that everybody else is dishing out like there’s no tomorrow, anymore!

The point is I don’t hide. If I don’t know something, I’m the first to tell you. I’m here. And guess what, there are MANY tomorrow’s - - I want YOURS to be healthy, abundant, happy and strong.
