Thoughts?
There is a real brother dynamic going on there..his older brother tries to get answers, Matt avoids emotional topics and tries to be focused on his raw food diet/business (end of this video it shows this clearly). His brothers facial expression speaks a thousand words.
His brother also mentions things that make me sad .. like that he never visited his family with his newborn baby…
The conversation really shows the difficulties of living a life, where food in correlation with business becomes the central and if not MAIN focus point, hurting others- specially family and loved ones.
Interestingly Matt suggests his brother to eat a whole food diet including meat.
Hmm I’d watch this bit Matt creeps ne out- he’s completely diet obsessed and the way he speaks is a real turn off.And even when I was all raw vegan I thought Matt could use a few steaks a day to liven up. Ugh, why did I turn this on and start listening? Again Matt has no degree in nutrition, I wouldn’t take his advice.
Matt is an idiot parrot. He contradicts himself all the time. He was never ill. He has no clinical experience, yet he talks like he does. He made a video calming that there is no ONE thing that will heal you, like most people are seeking that magic bullet. Yet, he promoted Adya Clarity like there was no tomorrow and had Angela on camera saying how it “cured’ her of candida. I believe that one video made his sales sky rocket and they made millions from it. I mean, she really still had candida after being on raw food for nearly nine years? Something is very fishy about that.
Anglea took Adya throughout her pregnancy and the baby seems perfectly fine. Yet, Mike Adams and Matt colluded to take down Ayda Clarity. I found this article online. I have no idea how much is true or not. I am not sure why Matt would give refunds on this product if he made so much money off of it.

Matt promotes colonics way too much. They can be dangerous at times. I used to work in a naturopathic office that offered them. Plus, they attract those with an enema fetish. Maybe he has one? You can achieve good results with probiotics, rather than spending too much money on colon hydrotherapy.
I could go on and on about the things he does that I dislike. I think their main customers are naive women and he exploits that by saying shit that will appeal to them. He is deluded on many levels, and yes it pays to give the public want they seek: magical thinking.
Now they are selling a tiny bottle of pilli nut ‘chocolate’ with coconut oil for $15 for something like 6oz. This is in no way a healthy thing to sell IMO. Just another overpriced item that is a chocolate substitute to make them bucks.
Angela seems sweet, but naive to the ways of those around her. She benefits from this however in a big way.
Matt does not look healthy to me. His brother looks way better and seems to have better mental health as well.
The only thing I can say positive about Matt is that he seems to be feeding his child well. I think Angela is eating some animal foods again and just not coming straight out and telling people.
omg ,he looks older than my dad. and just couple of years ago…. :-(
Matt on Detoxing into the SpiritualAlso, there again, some health food salesman telling you can achieve states of enlightenment by going raw. I maintain it is a mental state induced by deficiencies.
Don’t be an idiot and think that Matt Monarch, David Wolfe, Shazzie, Durian Rider or Freelee, Paul Nison, and Dan McDonald have any special ‘divine’ purpose driven special spiritual knowledge. What they have is a free market to manipulate a depressed population that seeks wellness and relief out side of big pharma. None of these people look especially vibrant to me. But they all appear to be highly narcissistic. That is the common denominator.
I kind of doubt Angela eats animal foods- they do eat nori with various nut butters daily for lunch- if you look at Oria’s skin, you can see it showing up on there in form of pimples. I am not saying this to be mean, it’s an observation and I once ate nut butter while nursing my little guy and he got a pimple next day- I didn’t continue it cause duh……..but if I were a starving raw vegan, WTF else is there of substance to fill you up?
These people are all highly deluded narcissists, they try to sell you the *magic* raw food lifestyle and you can be a raw super hero. It’s sick.
I know she follows Shazzie’s recommendation on how to make kids healthy, and that includes small amounts of animal foods like egg. That is the one thing I like about Shazzie. I find it interesting that Angela is not posting what she eats everyday, at least since I last looked. I personally hope she is eating some animal products. Matt had mentioned that he feels that Oria is so healthy because of how they feed her, but there was no mention of how that is beyond breast milk—meaning what angela eats that becomes Oria’s food. They are insanely commercial. They even charged people to come to their wedding and had that psycho David Wolfe marry them. Yeah, that is OoOh so spiritual.
To me Oria does not look like she is a breast-fed vegan baby. She looks like she is a breast fed omnivore baby.
Lol, Shazzie is a joker.
Her peeve is the head of the British Dietetic association, Catherine Collins.
Yeah, Shazzie always looks like she is in heat. I swear, all these fools can make a high income living in this industry, it says a lot about the state of the world.
What kind of person claims they are a visionary in paradise and creates a fuckin’ program called, Divinity In A Box? Holy Hell. That takes some kind of arrogance. To me she is just an average person that was schooled in the fine art of huckstery by her ex boytoy David Wolfe. The Internet is a dreamland for these average to below average people.
This is why I think Matt has some sort of colonic/enema fetish: As mentioned, I worked in an office that offered colon hydrotherapy and studied the stuff way back. You really only need a five gallon holding tank, anything more is stupid. He got a 25 gallon holding tank. This is the thinking of an obsessed and fixated person.
Also, people say that angela is spacey due to her diet. She looks it here and Matt looks nutty. Again, they are marketing to depressed and hurting people, so they get away with it because these people lack the life experience and are vulnerable to magical marketing.
Yeah, I agree. I do know someone who was living with them (up until recently) and that someone eats eggs and raw goat dairy. So hopefully she’s doing that.
Right? It’s a pathogenic state of the world when people can do this. Outrageous. The net has made all this possible.
I always thought Matt was gay (please people don’t take offense in this- I got nothing against gay guys at all). I was married to a bi guy once- he too had an anal and enema fetish.
Yes.
It is very possible as many bi guys keep it a secret. If you know the signs to look for, you can get a clue. But those without experience will not see it easily. I have been around enough gay guys that have been honest with me to see the signs now.
Yeah, those colonics can stimulate the prostate I think and therefore becomes a sexual experience.
People that have been around those two say they do not even act like they are really into each other. If you look on Matt’s FB page, he does not even have one photo of Angela on his page. Sorry to write this, but I use it to illustrate what a farce so many of these people are. People are objects to narcissists. When they are done with them, they have no emotions about it either. They just move on to the next victim.
LOL i remember when i made a video about colonics back in my raw food day (which i took off my channel) i had guys writing me perverted fanasies, how they enjoy the daily enema :O
Yep.
Who is he and what significance does he have?
DreamDancer, I bought 2 of the largest bottles of Adya from him way back when I was ignorant and desperate for solutions. I took the first one didn’t feel great so never even opened the second one.
I tried long and hard to get a refund for those two bottles I bought and never received anything. I contacted them through youtube, through the customer support at The Raw Food World, through thier websites, basically through any means of contact available. I always provided my order # and could still see the order in my previous purchases at the raw food world. I even offered to send the second bottle back as it was unopened.
They kept saying things like, we are actually only giving refunds to those who purchased it in the last three months. Well, I had purchased one of the bottles during a sale within that time period and told them this. Never even received a response so I gave up.
Very unprofessional snake oil salesman in my opinion. Guy is such an idiot and looks old and emaciated, I would even say most 30BADders look healthier than him.
They had announced they were giving refunds to anyone who purchased adya clarity and weren’t satisfied. This was after Mike Adams posted the article exposing Adya and this is when I attempted to get my refund, just to be clear.
Who is he and what significance does he have?- Carmen
Matt Monarch is the founder and owner of the at least million dollar online business called: The raw food world. He earns a lot of money through his business and is considered a raw food guru/ salesman.
He is also working closely together with raw food gurus like David Wolfe, Daniel Vitalis, Frank Giglio, Kevin Gianni (renegade health show) Shazzie Love and so on.
These days he lost some significance in the raw food movement but is still big enough
Oh okay, thanks Bianca.
Obviously I’m not up to date on my raw food gurus and YouTube video personalities ;)
nobody
none
Thanks for writing this Eric. So, the huckster offered refunds and did not give them. Hmm. Ok, my instincts have been correct about this asshole. This makes me furious!
Angela is a nice lady, but unfortunately she is in on the huckstering now, so it is hard to feel sympathy for her. She is the one that claimed she took the shit and magically her candida issues went away. Now they are selling over priced pilli nut butter and she sits there on cam and spoons it in her piehole in attempts to demonstrate how yummers it is. Yes, that is what sickly people need to buy, fucking overpriced imported nutbutters sold as the new chocolate.
I am sure like you, many people give up trying to get a refund cause they are sickly and are just surviving. Do you still have any of that Adya left? I sure would like to do some testing on it.
…to have an impact on newbies… He promotes his products via videos where he uses manipulative tactics like scare tactics (don’t eat this and that otherwise you will get cancer…lalala…buy my product because the it’s high in this and that so you can save your life… Lalala)
Always the same story, to make dollars.
I wish that were true. He is influencing thousands of naive people everyday.
Eric,
Is there still time to file a complaint with your cc company?
Carmen I am sure this site will keep you updated on these “gurus” ;)
yup, still insignificant
Are you people for realsies? I’m a not vegan, nor am I a raw foodist, but I LOVE Matt and Angela. I love their energy and I find them both to be pretty inspirational people. Becoming a self-made millionaire and moving to South America is my dream… and as a person who used to have a very unhealthy relationship with food, I find Angela’s story to be especially inspiring.
BUBA!!!
Yeah, her story is inspirational for sure and Matt knows how to exploit the hell out of it as well as others that suffer.
I just called the company about their refunds concerning Adya and they said to email them and they do not handle that over the phone. So they have ripped of thousands of people for millions of dollars with Adya and tried to ruin that company in the process.
I have worked in naturopathic offices and worked as a salesperson within the industry for a short time. I know many of the tricks these people play.
Also, I hate how he calls her baby girl and she calls him Mr Monarch. Is there anything more degrading than that? On the surface it seems endearing, but if you really think about the social dynamics of those terms, it is yuck.
Yeah, Matt is INCREDIBLY degrading towards women. He hates them with a passion and likes to think of them as literal babies.
In all seriousness, it’s one thing to criticize their business, but nit-picking apart their relatively great relationship says more about you than it does them. Honestly.
Shelly,
You are more than likely one of the young naive women that these two appeal to. It is not that you are not smart, it is just that you lack the experience to know all of these issues at hand.
I am not saying he abuses her and he may do a lot of things right. However, it is all done within a patriarchal tone by calling her baby girl. But, this is just me. I break shit way down to get to the truth.
As I recall, he also went off on some diatribe about men abusing women and how he has women’s backs. IMO, he knows who his audience is, mainly young women, and he plays on that like coming across like the gallant knight.
There is also another video where he spell it out. I think it is called, Matt Monarch is a Jerk Off.
You see, he is one thing on cam and another in person. That is very common. The older you get the more you will see that many people have a public front that is great and another one that is not so great.
Here it is:
He tries to play it off like he has a hard time opening up, but IMO, this is just another emotional manipulation to garner sympathy to excuse his behavior. Young women fall so easily for this ploy.
I hope I don’t look like too much of a stalker, but since I’ve watched almost all their videos…
The reason why Angela calls Matt mister Monarch and ‘bubba’ is because she can’t properly pronounce the name “Matt”. She used to call him “baby” all the time, which evolved into “bubba”. A name they both call each other. There’s really nothing sexist or degrading about it.
I just like them as people, and I like to watch their vlogs because they inspire me, not because I’m naive and manipulated. I’m not going to start hating on them just because I’m not longer a part of the lifestyle they promote.
First of all just look at his photo on this vid. He looks like crap. She does not know how to pronounce the name Matt? I doubt it. She is English and I think that is not uncommon to do that sort of thing, But still, the baby girl thing. No.
Bubba is what you would call a big fat redneck in the south. I think it is ick that they call each other that.
I bet you her parents dislike him. English people are can be very practical and many dislike fakers.
Well, that’s your opinion. You criticize him for calling his wife “babygirl” and then you criticize him for making a video about supporting women. If you think that the reason I like these two is because I “fell” for Matt’s supposed fake sympathy towards women, you’re wrong. For the most part (and because of women like you) I find a lot of feminists to be incredibly irritating.
You will be fine, just do not buy anything from them. Just understand their life may be very different in person than on camera on Youtube. I would hate to be stuck with Matt in another country like that not matter all the land and lifestyle.
Matt is a hardcore capitalist and yes, will promote shit you do not need to feed his hippy lifestyle. I have been around this people for years. It has nothing to do with what they eat. Meat eaters do the same shit too. It is just that you do not expect it from this people.
Enjoy your pilli nuts Monarchs.

This is about as on point as it gets. Well done.
Yes, I saw that as a manipulation. When you are older with more life experience, you will better understand.
How the hell does he have the backs of women? Sorry, but I can only imagine all the depressed women watching that that were moved by that statement because they do not have that in real life. To me, that was a way to get you hooked.
I guess you didn’t watch the video, huh? She explains it; when she says the name Matt, it sounds like she’s saying “Mah”.
You seem nice.
Thanks Eric. I know all this first hand from 2 decades of a lot of experience, both as a customer, lifestyle seeker and from work related environments. :)
Don’t talk to me like you know me. Instead of explaining why you think that video was a manipulation, you tell me that I’ll eventually understand when I’m older. Understand what, exactly? Every critique you have of Matt is an opinion. You don’t like the way he looks, you don’t like the way he talks, you don’t like how he speaks to his wife, you don’t like how his wife speaks to him… If you’re going to criticize these two, lay off the personal shit. Stop putting their relationship under a microscope, you creep.
No, my connection is slow so I did not watch the total video. Yeah, well some English drop the last letters of words. It does not matter however. But, the dynamics are still there and words reflect that.
People can think I am a shitty person for speaking out. But the Monarchs have ripped off people for a lot of money and are not giving the refunds they claim there were willing to.
People have a hard time emotionally seeing their idols/heroes as something other than what they present themselves to be. We want it to be true and when evidence presents itself otherwise, we often fight it, unless we have first hand experience with it.
They are also giving advice they are not qualified to either. A bag of dirt is more spiritual than Matt Monarch.
People thought Jinjee and Storm were great people, but they ripped people off to the tune of 800 thousand dollars.
I wonder what the total was for the Monarchs?
Shelly, You would feel otherwise if you have spent your last dollar on Adya only to have it not cure what ails you and not to get a refund after they told you it was poison.
Shelly,
If you enjoy the right to vote, have your own bank account, have reproductive rights, go to work, get an education and to own your own house, you can thank feminism for those things.
If you dislike feminists, then move to a nice country like Pakistan and see how well you do.
Eric,
I called The Raw Food World. If you press ONE and get them on the phone, they should be able to look up your emails and talk to you about your case. I told them that if they did not start giving everyone their refunds a website was going to be created on the issues. If enough people gather there, a class action law suit can be filed.
Let me know if this gets you anywhere. Also, if they do not immediately refund your money tell them you will start making complaint posts online and see how they respond. Firmly demand that they live up to what they promised you. They are fucking lucky people do not sue them for the poison that they sold to them. (Their words, not mine.)
I have lost so much money to these hucksters over the years.
30 Rock’s Jack Donaghy’s Guide to Manipulation
Sexy Baby GirlSubtext: (I can’t pronounce my husband’s name cause I am a baby, so I will call him bubba or Mister, just like the baby talk I like.)
Yeah I have noticed how infantile their pet names/sounds the yummer shit is. I guess all of these gurus have to have some signature schtick going on.
In general, it is best for grown women to call ourselves women or ladies, not girls. The subtext is that you are not fully grown, therefore need to be taken care of.
Many women play on this for an easy life as well, but it makes it harder over all for our gender to garner the type of respect that we deserve and need to progress.
That is not to say that the general affectionate term, baby, between lovers does the same thing. I just think when the term girl is attached to it, makes it an issue. A good rule of thumb is to measure words by there counterpart. Would Matt like to be called Baby Boy by her on all of their professional videos? I do not think so. He does put up with Bubba however, which is, well.
It just frustrates me that these people are so easily the leaders and influencers on health topics. If you think about it, what kind of time and education did these people devote to learning about health in a collegiate setting? Not many, if any of these raw food gurus. I bet some of them barely have a GED.
“If you enjoy the right to vote, have your own bank account, have reproductive rights, go to work, get an education and to own your own house, you can thank feminism for those things.
If you dislike feminists, then move to a nice country like Pakistan and see how well you do. “
Beautifully put! One of the better quotes on this site, IMO.
I think you’re making it an issue.
Couples should be able to call each other whatever the hell they want without getting judged by people like you. I value the core values of feminism, but I really don’t relate to things like “rape culture” at all.
The people who are saying that Matt is gay and has a colonic fetish are cunts. He has a daughter and a wife, both of which he’s crazy about. No wonder most people are afraid to be them true selves.
There’s so many judgmental assholes out there who will pick your behavior apart and criticize it. Angela probably appears “spacey” because she doesn’t feel the need to stare at the camera if she’s not talking. Matt appears to be gay because he enjoys cleansing his colon. You people realize this is on a public forum on a fairly popular website that he will probably read at some point, right? I know the internet is a ruthless place, but that is some seriously hurtful shit. I really hope he doesn’t take any of it personally.
Shelly,
I can see where this would upset you and I am sorry about that. However, when Matt and Angela decided to convince sick people to spend their last dollar on highly over priced bottles of water conditioner in the hopes of a cure all, then claimed it was toxic poison after they made potentially millions of dollars, promised a refund, then is giving those people the shaft, then all bets are off.
I have thought this stuff about them for a long time now. I am now just speaking out because of how careless and greedy they are acting. They took money from sick people to fuel their lavish hippy lifestyle where they have maids that serve them and they thumb their noses at the people they have ripped off.
Elainie is just speaking from experience. I said that about the enema fetish because he over promotes expensive colonics like there is no tomorrow and also spreads harmful misconceptions about them. Those things can sometimes be dangerous!
If anyone is an asshole or otherwise, they are. I do not care how loving he appears on camera or how cool it is that they had their baby at home and eat all fucking raw organic foods. I am telling you right now, there are many people in the health industry that do not give a fuck about your welfare and they just care about making money off of you for selfish reasons. You can either accept that this is possible or not.
I really did not want to write all this stuff out so much, but people need to understand what the hell these people are doing. I do not think Angela intended for it to go this way, but she is in deep now.
I hope the hell they do read this. They need to be held accountable for their actions. These people are not spiritual, they are con artists in that regard.
The rape culture is very real.
The most common form of rape is emotional rape. Very few people understand this concept.
Consumers are emotionally raped on a minor scale everyday by false advertisements that prey on their vulnerabilities. Women are special targets in the marketplace because of our sensitive nature and position in the world. The more we understand this, the more power we will maintain. These people seek to influence your mind, body and spirit. They will say that it is good for you, but often it is not in your best interest.
I am not surprised that they use their baby to seduce the public. Women love them, as do I.
I was one who bought Adya Clarity and asked for a refund. Thank goodness there was a vibe the bottle gave off and I decided after I tried it once not to use it again. But I never got my refund from RAW FOOD WORLD.
My saying Matt always appeared gay to me was his mannerisms and voice (in person) and I could give two craps if he is or isn’t. The fact that someone is married with children has zero bearing on orientation. I’ve known many gay and bi men (and vice versa) who weren’t out at first.
I dunno, I just prefer more testosterone in a dude- that’s all.
I agree with everything that “DreamDancer” has written about the Monarchs. I have watched pretty much all of Matt’s videos. He’s just as worse as any prosperity preacher out there. This ex MTV employee is a master at marketing–and far from being in my opinion a spiritual master.
“A bag of dirt is more spiritual than Matt Monarch.” —Dreamdancer
You got that right Dreamdancer. He’s no Johnny Lovewisdom.
I kept watching, The Raw Food World TV Show just to study how this CROOK manipulates the emotionally weak and sick. The bastard would in many videos strategically place products in plain view to give the impression that the products are ones that they are using–even when he wasn’t talking about them.
He’s never been one to hide his anger issues. I believe that Angela fears him. All that lovely bull crap that they display on camera is just a front. It’s what keeps the business going. You want to know what a greedy S.O.B. he is, as soon as Mike Adams exposed and broke the Adya Clarity fraud wide open–Matt had a Adya Clarity “sale” to get rid of the stock he had. Is that a caring, an I’m interested in your well being type move? HELL NO! That was a “I don’t give a fuck about your health–I’m not losing money in what ever stock I have left.” Oh and as soon as the fraud was exposed, Matt removed the video where Angela talks about curing her Candida. That was a well-planned video. How could people not buy the product when Matt is using Angela’s angelic presence to reel in buyers? There is nothing spiritual about Matt. He claims that his third eye is open due to raw living foods—I say his third eye is full of cataracts.
The huckster has built himself a nice Karmic debt not only by misleading the public with Adya, but with scores of other products as well. He may be breathing pristine air in Ecuador, but his mind is far from it. Millions of People symbolically drink the blood of Jesus. I’m pretty sure that many heath enthusiasts raw or not still take part in this absurd ritual. For those that were doing “super shots” of Adya—your health would have been less compromised had you taken the Adya shots symbolically.
There was one video that I remember clearly, and in this one Matt is in his warehouse in Ojia CA, and he runs across a stack of expired protein bars, and decides to sell them at half the listed price. I mean is that ridiculous or what? The guy is on camera fishing for a victim that would buy this expired junk that he wouldn’t give to his own daughter now.
Many people here who are fans of these two, may say that we are being harsh. That maybe the language is to strong. All this hippie raw love that these gurus use are putting people to sleep and raping their bank accounts. I have no sympathy for these crooks. They are no better than pharmaceutical companies, or companies that produce sad diet products. If anything their products are more expensive. The raw food movement is heading towards a major state of depression. Raw food leaders that were blessed with the same oratorical skills of misleading prosperity religious fakes will feel the wrath of karma in due time.
I was reading the evolution of project MK-ULTRA’S “project Monarch,” and after reading the following, I couldn’t help but to think of Matt Monarch’s control of the raw food community through the sales of useless products. The money that these gullible people are wasting on useless products is making it possible for him to buy up more and more land.
“Amidst the subtle cerebral circumvention of the gullible populace, through a multitude of manipulated mediums, lies one of the most diabolical atrocities perpetrated upon a segment of the human race; a form of systematic mind control which has permeated every aspect of society.”————-Project Monarch
Ain’t that something?
It’s difficult for these gurus to completely break free from the money that animal products generate. That would be like trying to get the criminals in government to break free from profiting from war. It’s not going to happen. These are not health gurus these are “CON GURUS.” Their minds shift depending on what products are generating the most money animal or not.
A convicted felon will forever be seen by society as a criminal after his release from prison. Famous childhood actors can’t break free from the roles that they played as children. When a raw food guru break the rules they are still raw gurus in the minds of their manipulated followers.
Matt comes across as uneasy as his hair does. There are no soft edges on this marketing demon. It’s well known that he eats small amounts of food—yet he wants the sick to gorge themselves with packaged foods.
If Matt and Angela Monarch had a conscience they wouldn’t sell 95% of their products. What they prove by jumping into the bandwagon of animal product sales is that they don’t want to be left behind in the business aspect of the raw market. They are sending a contradictory message to all of their fans, but they are too hypnotized by Angela’s angelic persona, her horses, her land, her “BUBBHA” screams, and Matt’s dreadlocks to take notice.
Matt is a rip off artist. It’s in his blood. I thought that Angela was more sensitive when it came to enforcing this kind of abuse. But from what I’ve seen she’s grown into this persona and feels at peace with it. If she were not at peace—she wouldn’t be backing Daniel’s raw water creation. Even Frederic Patenaude was taken aback up by the ridiculousness of it.
Angela I ask you…would you have wasted your money on the junk you sell when you first went raw? Angela, “Immortal Deer Antler Velvet Gold” a 1 oz bottle for $149 dollars? Is this what those 90-day juice feasts prepared you for to sell? Come on sweetie—shame on you.
You see, with the Monarchs you either go along and leave sweet and loveable comments or you will be blocked.
Matt and Angela Monarch said it clearly in a video once. They literally came out and said that all you need is a whole foods diet and fruits and vegetables—and that’s it. They even went as far as saying that—“its not about the supplements.” But in their case and in the case of other raw food leaders—supplements is what keeps the operation going—keeps the money coming in. So when a person who’s on a limited budget and is dealing with illness is told to buy this or that product by skilled manipulators the person will more than likely spend his or her dollar on the product that’s being endorsed and not on fruits and vegetables.
This is what got me blocked from their YT channel and their facebook pages…
“Angela is obviously bothered by his annoying voice. This fool never has anything new to say. It’s also very clear that SHE FEARS HIM. She is aware that he has severe anger issues. His oratorical skills are less than optimal. You’ll never see him invited to health debates with other prominent gurus because he lacks poise. Angela is a sweet heart. She’s hasn’t flourished through out their marriage. She has so much to teach but she’s held back by Matt’s controlling nature. ANGELA BE BRAVE! DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO CONTROL YOU!”
Easy there, Blendthisbitch–going to say how Matt must be her handler, and how the symbol of the floating butterfly must represent Angela under his spell where he gives her electroshock therapy causing her mind to “float like a butterfly” to cope with her fragmenting personalities? I think your comments related to mind control and the public are more appropriate on places like Vigilant Citizen. I get irritated with the Monarchs for reasons described, but it’s not so sinister as you’re making it out to be.
Anyway, a few points: Matt’s older brother looks significantly healthier than Matt himself. Also, it’s pretty heartbreaking to see that his lifestyle has created such an obvious chasm between him and his family. I guess what’s sadder is that instead of attempting to bridge that by loving and honest dialog, he’s taken the approach to just move to Ecuador and not make many attempts to connect with his family.
I find a few similarities between Matt’s situation and mine: I too live on a different continent from my family, and I too have had to face scrutiny over my diet choices from them. But to answer my family’s questions with such… defensiveness, contempt, condescension and superiority like Matt does with his brother? I just… I would never. Meeting my family’s issues with love (“let me make this salad for the family–it’s delicious. Give it a shot!”) instead of hostility (“No, I’m not going to eat your food. I’m going to eat my salad and stew in the bad energy I feel from everyone”) has worked so much better. My mother actually says she wants to try veganism while I’m home for the holidays, just to see how it goes. This coming from a woman who has drilled me over where I get my protein. It’s so saddening that Matt has taken an exclusionary approach to his diet (God challenging him by feeling social stigma? Puhlease) instead of an inclusive one.
Dreamdancer, clearly you are a very unhappy, unfulfilled, sad and lonely individual. People like you having nothing good to say about anyone. Misery loves company. Sorry but it has to be said. You are as transparent as the wind. There is nothing wrong with earning a living in a field you are passionate in. Should Wolfe et al be working in a cubicle instead?
Wow seeing this video reminded me all about the Monarchs. They were one of my favorite idols when I was aspiring to be raw. Their portrayed idealism about the diet and the lifestyle it can lead to always reeled me in. I could see that Matt was a little, extra character-like and a love him or hate him personality, but just figured that he must have insecurities and need to put up a defence mechanism during his videos… no worries.
Seeing this now, makes me realize how messed up my thinking was when I was trying to go raw!! It really put me into an orthorexic state.If I were to have watched that “interview” a year ago, I would have thought that his brother is really missing out because he is not at all enthusiastic in this interview, he doesn’t seem interested in going raw like lucky Matt Monarch has. But watching it now, Matt looks TOTALLY fake to me. That smile, that I used to believe was just good feelings that other ‘less clean’ people couldn’t imagine feeling all the time, just looks like a big, fake, “i’m better than you” wall plastered on his face while he thinks opposite things in his mind… 2 faced.It honestly creeps me out.
What else creeps me out, is that he is STILL talking about the same things!! Can he not get off the topic of colonics, a 100% raw food diet, or how “clean” and godly he is? I honestly used to only be interested in those things, too. I am so shocked that I left the whole world behind for that shit. I am so shocked that I never realized that matt never talks about anything else when I was interested in raw food…. Just woooooooowwwww so revealing, I am so happy I am out of that mind state.
Angela always seemed very centered, down to earth, has lots of hobbies and interests and friends, NOT orthorexic to me. That’s why I always assumed that Matt was just putting on a face for the camera. But whoever Matt monarch really is behind that salesman face, what I’ve seen of him seems like an insecure 2 faced salesman with a horrible eating disorder.
I still love Matt. We all get lost at some point. And I’m sure the Matt behind that big wall of defences is super super lovely and sweet. But I have a hard time believing that he is as HIM and that he is as happy and self loving as he could be if he were a bit less restrictive and harsh on himself
Wallace, calm down and knock off the personal attacks.
DreamDancer is sharing her opinion on an uncensored forum, which she is entilted to do. You may not like her opinion, or agree with it, but those who see differently than yourself are not automatically “a very unhappy, unfulfilled, sad and lonely individual… with nothing good to say about anyone.”
I find her comments to be extremely wise and insightful, so there ya go.
I know! TERRIBLE.
Right? Pretty bizarre no one in his family knew about the baby until afterwards- that’s majorly fucked up.
Yes, same. So glad I stay far away, I don’t read these people’s sites, food diaries or other crap. Waste of time and life. Life’s too short to focus on this stuff.
I think most of these gurus have severe eating disorders.
Wallace, You are naive. What I am is a broke and sickly person that has spent years in the alternative health industry searching for answers. After spending 10s of thousands of dollars and moving all over the country searching for answers, I still have major health issues and could possibly die sooner rather than later if I do not get it right this time. And yes, when you have a chronic illness, depression tags along with it as does unhappiness and loneliness. People do not want to be around sick people. However, I am a fucking fighter and I keep on going and making the best of a tough situation.
After so many years of dealing with this industry I started taking a different thought approach in trying to figure out all of the messages coming from these gurus. At some point, I may create a dedicated site to my thoughts, but for now, some of them are documented here. I figure in case I do pass away, some of my warnings will be here at the very least. No, I am not being dramatic either. It is hard for me to admit how much I suffer because I was taught to not be a whiner, but to be strong and move forward.
People get put down for speaking the cold hard truth. I accept that. I understand that you either do not have enough experience in this industry to agree with me or you perhaps have had some lucky good experiences. Harley did help me to understand how to not take things personally. So thanks for that Harley. Not everyone is all bad or good. I would just hope that if you are influencing the public on health and wellness, you have taken the time and deep thought it requires to get it right as much as possible.
Years ago my father encouraged me to start a site selling supplements, but I did not want to do so because I knew many of them were not good and the industry had so many ethical issues. I will not go into details about my background, but I have been exposed to a fair amount in the industry from an insider’s perspective as well. It does not take much time to figure out the problems once inside some of these companies.
So, Wallace, go ahead, if it makes you feel better come at me again. I understand that you do not have the insight that I have as well as some of the other critical thinkers on this site that are brave enough to speak out. Luckily, your insults are nothing compared to what I’ve had to face in my life in order to get good and honest answers about wellness. So, your words are less than a tiny bug bite to me. I keep moving along and moving ahead no matter what.
P.S. My depression lifted this past month btw. I finally figured out how to chemically change this with natural means. Also, I have a lot more strength on an emotionally level because I cured my leaky gut as well! So, I have a lot to be thankful for right now for those two things. And no, buying stupid super food powers did not help me do this either. It all cost me about $50 in total, including the foods that I sourced locally, some of them animal based. This also took me only a few weeks to implement as well and without detox!
BlendthisBitch,
Wow, great writing!! I agree as well! However I do think the affiliation with project Monarch is a stretch, but it is a very odd coincidence. I do think Matt is controlling Angela, most certainly influencing her. Often controlling people will isolate their families away from other family members for this reason. It is hard not to like Angela, but she is in on the con now, so I do not feel sorry for her either.
I am happy other people are looking at these guru types and are assessing what they are doing in a hard core way. It can become a fulltime job! However, in doing so, I have learned so much and it may very well save my life!
Keep on writing BTB! :)
Wallace–Should Wolfe et al be working in a cubicle instead?
No. He should be in jail.
Here is an interesting article on how some parents use children to garner media attention.
http://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Arts/2010/0208/When-kids-become-tickets-to-fame
This is relative to the convo because of how Oria is being made into a media darling to sell products for a natural raw lifestyle.
Corporate marketing and children.
http://www.commercialfreechildhood.org/
David Wolfe is a great man doing great work, he has helped me tremendously in transitioning to a high raw food diet. Raw foods RADICALLY transformed my health for the better. So he sells a few products, doesnt mean money is all he’s after. There are bigger evils this world, like the scumbags in big pharma/agriculture. Thats all I’ll say. Dreamdancer, I am sorry for your troubles, but negative emotions contribute to poor health as Im sure you know.
Is that why your guru David Wolfe went into partnership with the son of a ten year Monsanto executive? I think you are new to the scene and lack much of the back story on David and company. The guy plagiarized ’his’ first book. He has used date drugs on women allegedly, aligns himself with the likes of kooks like David Wilcock and many other questionable practices.
At this point, you know very little. Scientology can help you feel better to in the beginning like any other cult or abusers, once inside the real abuse begins.
This is something a newbie would say.
I am puzzled by these stories about Adya Clarity. I was contacted by Adya Clarity with an offer too but it wasn’t too hard for me to realize that it was a scam.
Now, as far as the return of the money, in my view all that purchased Adya should get their money back, regardless of the time they did it, plus apology. Putting some time limits on refunds is unacceptable.
Also, I wonder about the existence of some government customer-support agencies that one could contact in relation to it and complain. They do exist in Australia, so surely one can do something about it, if they are having problems with the return of the money!
Go to ripoff.com and make a complaint if The Raw Food World has not returned your money after offering to do so. We also could create a facebook page for this if anyone wants to do so.
Dreamdancer, do these people know of that David Wolfe married Matt and Angela? Do they know that his father shot his second wife twice in the head and David helped cover up the murder.
“retired Poway osteopath admitted yesterday that he shot his wife twice in the head inside the couple’s million-dollar gated Poway home nearly 16 months ago. Gerald L. Wolfe, 61, pleaded guilty in San Diego Superior Court to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of his wife, Maureen Wolfe, 41, on Nov. 30, 1998. He is being held in County Jail in lieu of $3 million bail.”
“In laying the groundwork for the defense, [Jack Earley] also persuaded Judge Michael Wellington to reduce Wolfe’s bail from $5 million to $3 million. Wolfe has been held in County Jail since the shooting.”
“Jill Schall said there are rumors that Wolfe owns property in Iran and has a safety deposit box somewhere in Europe, and the prosecutor said Wolfe’s brothers, his ex-wife and his sons from his first marriage “cleaned out” the couple’s home after the shooting.”
Do these people know that David’s father was found guilty of medical insurance fraud?
Do these people know that David was on a show called Mad House? And if they are not aware that all of his books are mirror copies of other peoples works then let them keep buying his useless crap.
http://www.hulu.com/mad-mad-house
Yeah, David does not even write any of this books. He had a ghost writer by the name of John McCabe write most of the material He is the real genius. You can also find him on FB too. He is very open about how displeased he is with David. He did not know all this about him when he was a ghost writer for him.
http://www.amazon.com/Sunfood-Diet-Infusion-Transforming-Veganism/dp/1884702368/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1346374633&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=john+macabe
I talk to someone that worked closely with David for years and he said that David just gathers information for books and it did not matter what was truthful or not as long as it sounded good.
Yes, that information about his father is very disturbing. I think many of us are not happy with our parents in one way or another. Many of them do have mental health issues too. That does not mean we will however if we work on ourselves like so many brilliant people on this site.
However, if your parent is a high level psychopath, then it is common for the children to be as well on some level. Psychopathy can run in wealthy families too. Psychopaths have an advantage in the free trade marketplace because they lack a conscience and will do things many will not in order to be successful. Many leaders in all walks of life are psychopaths. There is such great info available now about these people. Please take the time to learn about this important topic.
Yes, I do know that David married them. When someone seeks to influence you in what you eat as well as your spirituality, then it is time to question what their motives really are. These people are control freaks under the guise of raw food sages. They are madmen marketers as well. The world is full of sick and injured people. Predators in any form love easy prey that are sick and injured. Makes for an easy kill. Metaphor intended.
I know John. He’s one of my FB friends. Here’s what he said about David in one of our discussions.
“I remember David Wolfe telling me he was going to be on Howard Stern and that I should listen. I didn’t. He called me all giggly after the interview asking if I had listened. Nope. He was disappointed. I don’t like Howard Stern. David seemed very self-impressed. As usual. I never knew what he said on that interview. To find out on your post that he said that about bread just seems so absurd. Had I actually paid attention to him and knew what kind of a lunatic he was, I wouldn’t have helped him write his books. Helping him write his books was always a fiasco. It was done almost all through the mail and email, with some face time every once in a while. I was busy working on my own projects and doing my own thing and living my own life. Helping him write his books was just a side job. Now, it seems like a big scam job – that I helped such a scam artist project himself as some sort of expert. When all he was and still is is a fraud and scam artist.”
What David said on the Howard Stern show about bread was that it’s responsible for turning men into homosexuals. LOL
I guess everybody on here is in the sad and lonely club because we dare speak the truth about these gurus. Yes, much of what is written can fall under the heading of opinion, but also there are many facts like the ripping off of the public with sky high priced fake raw chocolate, Adya refunds that never materialized, plagiarized books, spiritual snake oil and emotional manipulation of the unwitting.
The fact that people have to be shown how to lose weight just eating fresh fruits and vegetables showcases how lost we are where real food is concerned. It showcases how fast and effective mass marketing has become. It is all rather scary.
Yes, it is too bad that John was used like that. That is David’s MO. Like any good marketing predator, he seeks out people with real talent or knowledge, manipulates them, takes their goods and call it his own.
A lot of the stuff in this thread is nothing more than gossip thinly veiled as truth and watch-dogging. I fully understand that Wolfe and Monarch are no saints, but come on, this is reading like a ridiculously biased DR and Freelee circle-jerk that relies on people having zero critical-thinking skills.
Anyone with “real talent or knowledge” would never get manipulated by Wolfe.
A large portion of this just comes off sounding like petty gossip to be honest..what does the guys family relations have to do with anything here? I doubt anyone here knows Matt or his family personally..so arriving at iffy conclusions about what him not visiting his family etc means just seems sort of pointless..
..and what does him or Angela seeming “spacey” really have to do with ANYTHING? Hell I am one of the spaciest people I know and have always been that way..
Yeah, some of their actions do seem questionable and I will admit I used to really dislike both of them..later on I started to enjoy some of their videos..some of it is just shit.
Dont buy into all this raw food guru crap about being spiritual etc..none of us need gurus. There are far easier ways..you want to start a spiritual path we have plants for that too. Just avoid the dogma people it’s not really that hard.
Haha. You do not understand the nature of psychopathy at all. This is a very naive statement. All of us are manipulated all the time from all sorts of things. Very smart are people are manipulated all the time. Do you understand that many wealthy and highly successful people often get lured into cults? Take this information as you will.
The fact remains that Matt Monarch promised people he would give refunds for Adya and he is not. He is making it very difficult. You call The Raw Food World about it and they say they are only handling this issue via email. Then they never respond back to people. He is currently the number 1
RAW FOOD BANDIT. LOL
A tactic of cults is to tell followers to go vegan. A low protein diet makes it harder to think critically, thus easier to control and influence a person’s mind. Hopefully she is eating some eggs now for her daughter and her thinking is better.
There are videos of her where see really seems out of it and people were concerned.
Sure some of this is gossip. But other stuff is not.
More baby talk from Angela pandering to Matt’s illusions of third eye explosions by the magic milky elixir of white ormus. These people are so full of shit. Plus, Matt looks like an underdeveloped pre-puberty boy.
uh I’m so sick of ALL of these raw food gurus and their shit. And I wish I could write what I know about some of these hucksters ( not Matt) here but people would say it’s gossip- which it’s not cause I was there/saw firsthand. UGH, just nauseating.
“Yeah I feel like very present, and then, also the strange sensation of being partially out of my body. It’s like I’m looking at this hand and it’s like yeah ok that belongs to me. “—Angela
She’s making it clear that she’s forcing bullshit sensations that aren’t truly happening. I’m surprised that Matt didn’t make her say, who the hell needs hallucinogenic mushrooms when you could drink white ormus light.
“It’s like a movie screen you control what is happening in the movie. “—Matt
If you’re not convinced after hearing that line that he’s all about controlling what you put in your body, then you deserve to get taken.
watch Angela cringes after her true spirit hear that line. She knows what the demon marketing husband is up to. It’s all about mind control. She doesn’t agree with it, but it’s to late to back out and risk losing the Eden paradise that she’s always wanted. It’s really heart breaking to see her deviate from her true self. You could feel that it’s breaking her heart to have to go along with tactics that take advantage of people.
Why do all these ‘gurus’ have such fancy names all the time? lol
This is something a newbie would say.
^ you’re just confirming all I’ve said about you, cynical, negative, unfullfilled individual who empowers themselves by correcting people on internet forums, a bit like DR lol. So negative emotions ‘dont’ lead to poor health? What a poor defense. And Ive heard all the stories on Wolfe et al, about him working with Monsanto.. All of this is irrelevant. I judge a man on what I see in his heart and eyes. Anyway, Im done with you.
My opinion: A few years back, before they got married, those two stayed at my place when participating at a local raw food fest. I had plenty of opportunity to observe them and their interactions. So what I think & feel & what I noticed: perhaps Angela is not so ‘angelic’ as many of you may think. At the time they were staying at my place I noticed Matt was reluctant to invest all he had into an internet business. he did not really believe in the power of the internet sales and blogs, etc. It was Angela who was coaching him and convincing him that internet marketing and sale was the way to go. She was the ‘angelic’ driving force and many of their marketing tricks are her idea and her initiative. Angela was ‘angelic’ only so long it served their purpose. That is: when Matt proved to be a rude asshole – she was trying to angelically smooth the issue and placate in order not to be kicked out of the comfy and FREE room and board with the organic food and vitamix and super duper juicer, etc. She wanted her convenience – and so she was angelic and sweet only when it served her purpose and she wanted to get something from you.
as to their relationship and them not being into each other: I think there is no burning passion between those two. It is more of a companionship and friendship. they need each other – they fulfill their needs… neither of them came across as a warm and sensitive and passionate individual.. they are both cool and cold and smooth calculating folks. Not passionate and warm – so they created a relationship for themselves that is more of a good friendship… and why not. Friendship may survive longer than a passion which burns fast…
As to Matt being a closet gay – that would not surprise me. He is afraid of women and just is unable to adequately deal with females around him. Angela is the only one who can somehow handle him and direct him in the way she wants to go. He is a real asshole when it comes to dealing with people and especially with women. Hiding behind the camera and portraying a completely different mat on you tube and wearing a kind matt mask serves him well – because in real life people would shirk away from him.
While staying at my place matt used to eat his supplements… boy oh boy… that guy was producing so much gas and was farting so strong and long and so stinky… it was horrible. absolutely horrible. so his own supplements were working against him…next year angela wrote to me as she wanted to stay at my place again – but I refused them. I really did not want to have those two – especially farting and stinking and unfriendly matt around.
I wonder about those individuals who visit the monarchs and live with them… the must be some kind of doormats or pushovers to be able to handle living with those two at their place…
This has nothing to do with empowering me. I post this stuff to warn others in the hope that they do not end up spending all of their money on useless crap. Not all of it is crap however. It takes a lot of education to figure out what you really need and what you do not. These people play on your lack of education and experience. I contend that many of these people do not even understand some of their own products, like Matt on Adya.
Yes, the raw vegan diet can help many people lose weight, and fast. However there can be some down sides to it as well. Especially long term. It is so typical what has happened to raw food. These marketing gurus have taken something pure and easy and made it into something it was never intended to be. In this regard Harley is correct!! You do not need all that super overpriced powders and nutbutters to eat a raw food diet. David Wolfe is the worst at charging high dollar for inferior products. I have done a lot of backend research on how much a lot of this stuff costs, so I feel as though I do know. He used to sell a gallon of sea water for $100. I mean come on.
Wallace, you are the fool if you discount all that is written about Wolfe on this thread. Just because he introduced you to raw food and you lost weight you now have an emotional attachment to him. This is how abusers suck you in. This is how cult personalities hook you.
It is typical for the messenger to be shot down as well. Get your raw thumb out of your mouth and see these people with realistic eyes.
Just because some of our opinions or speculations could be called gossip, does not mean there are not true.
There are many proven facts on this thread.
MammaMia,
That is a great first hand testimony. This is NOT gossip when you experienced it first hand. Thank you. I find it very interesting that a lot of this marketing is actually Angela’s ideas and not Matt’s. I can believe it because Matt is not that smart.
I think Angela comes from a privileged background as well and we all know that can mean, she was spoiled. These people are GREAT at putting on and think nothing of using people to an ends to a mean.
Yes, I do not get a lot of warmth from these people at all. Certainly not as a couple.
The dynamics of relationships are such that often the partner will act out in ways that reflect the psychology of the other partner. It is understandable why a smart and educated woman like Angela would infantile her persona in order to appease Matt’s fear of women. These two are bad examples of a a healthy relationship. Again, it is very easy to showcase and highlight things on a short video that gives the impression of a good relationship to an otherwise unwitting audience.
People need to understand that having babies at home and growing a big garden were all things everyone used to do. This is nothing special in human history. But because we live in the post industrial age, this appears to be so cool and special to people. Especially those that are young. The only thing that they do differently is that they do not cook their food. But they sure are hell have a high powered vitamix and juicers to process the food, which one can argue is not natural.
It takes a certain kind of person or couple to put every step of their relationship online. Why would they desire that kind of exposure? I just feel as though it is simply too much. I mean, it is fine if every now and again you want to post photos of your daughter and a video here and there. But I can just see the writing on the wall. Oria is going to be used as much as possible to garner attention and to sell more products. While she is cute, I find this practice very questionable. The people that I know that are very much into a natural and healthy lifestyle would never dream of exploiting their child in such a manner. They seek to preserve the innocence of their children from mass media. These people do not really have the core values of those that seek to live and engage in a new found healthy way. Feminist issues were always a part of that process and for most people online espousing a natural way of living, I do not see this happening hardly at all.
Yes, at first glance this appears to be the case. However, according to Mommamia, Angela may in fact be themaster mind behind much of what happens. None-the-less, the dynamic duo are working together on shoveling unnecessary products into the raw marketplace and contributing to consumer confusion.
I really question Angela’s testimony of her candida being cured by Adya. She was raw for nine years and still had candida?? I think she said that only to increase sells and for this I very much hold it against her.
Calling out Angela Stokes Monarch for her bullshitting ways is not a an easy thing to do because people want to believe she is this gentle mothering spirit. She may be that to her daughter, but this does not mean she will not ride consumers all the way home. I mean, who would agree to charging people to come to their wedding? I have never heard of anyone doing that. To me, that is beyond the pale.
around the time the scandal about adya clarity broke there were comments i read (on natural news, i think) to the efffect that angela herself might have been made ill by it and mentions made of one or two of her more recent blog posts at the time. i looked at her blog then (never having before) and saw that she did say she was quite ill. the comments that led me to her blog pointed out that the symptoms she mentioned were similar to those for heavy metal toxicity. maybe she was hoist by her own petard?
dreamdancer, i don’t always agree with what you say, but you make many damn good points.
Dreamdancer- Angela’s accent isn’t upper crust UK at all. Rather the opposite.
Thanks Dr. MM- sounds like houseguests from stinky haven, eeww.
uh yeah, i’ve done it 6 times but aren’t on the net bragging about it.
We get lots of people like that in the U.K.
The accent is affluent, but they usually cycle home on a bike with a basket at the front, and live on top of a shop ( graffiti shutters and all )
Sam she sounds cockney to me. Just saying that because I was raised amongst uh how shall we say, very high up UK upper crust and oh well accent very different.
Lol,
I remember going to a ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ park, and my nephew said ” walta” and some little posh boy said ” it’s not walta! it’s walt-TER!”.
It is rare to totally agree with someone, so it is cool. First, it can be hard to fully communicate all of these points. There is some limitation to communicating over the net. Even still, unless you have first hand experience with some of this stuff, you will not fully understand it as well.
Anyway, keep on reading and thinking for yourself. That is what I encourage. :)
May be true. I know there are tons of accents in the UK. My friend that passed away was from England and he mentioned her accent like it was perhaps from an area that was upper crust.
do not think she comes from a very wealthy family, but just maybe upper middle class. I did see a video where she was at home with her parents. The home looked fairly modest, but I know the homes in the UK tend to be much smaller than in the US.
I also got the impression she must of had some money early in life because she was able to travel and live so many place in her early adult life.
But, whatever. That may not matter so much to the situation at hand, which is how they are pounding the shit out of this natural raw lifestyle and pounding it into the ground.
All these health gurus are just opportunists IMO, I don’t see the difference from one to the next- something I wouldn’t have said 25 years ago but oh well you live and you learn. Sure some try to help people but things seem to get weird and then here comes the cult/guru persona and the rest is history. They market stuff cause they want to make money not caring who gets ripped off. Sad really.
Now that I think about, I remember reading those as well. I did not put two and two together about it however back then.
Please understand this. I do not think Adya is the poison that they are saying it is. Someone made the point that a banana has more aluminum in it than one shot of Adya. When it comes to chemistry, it is VERY easy to fool people into thinking whatever you want because most people do not have the education in science to understand it. You throw in some spiritual woo-woo in there and that taps into people’s preconditioned notions about magic, and bam!, they believe you.
I believe that Mike Adams wrote that article for some political reason. Mike Adams is helping David Wolfe to cover up the fact that he knowingly went into business with a Monsanto man. I do not trust Mike Adams either at this point.
Even Mike has gotten into the ‘consciousness’ game with his new site, http://www.DivinityNow.com/. This makes me trust him even less. How the hell does he have all the time to produce all of this stuff? To me, he appears to be an unlikely person to get involved in all of this content. There are people that believe he plays on both sides of the fence where human wellness is concerned.
“Just because some of our opinions or speculations could be called gossip, does not mean there are not true.
There are many proven facts on this thread.“
DreamDancer
Has it been proven that Wolfe was complicit in a murder? Can I get a link because I’m not seeing it. BlendthisBitch throwing something that heavy out there minus proof warrants my comment about gossip and DR/Freelee style smear campaigns.
These people are obviously full of shit. You make a good point that I’ve often made about Stokes-Monarch, she cwent on camera and claimed that Adya Clarity cured her of her candida. This is total bullshit. I’ve pointed this out in many forums but have always been shot down by those who think that she can do no wrong and is this innocent victim who’s been duped by Monarch like everyone else. She’s obviously an equal partner in crime.
@Elainie
If you witnessed someone doing something which compromises their health guru image, you should share it. Saying that you actually saw something happen is different than claiming that someone helped to cover up a murder while providing no evidence of any kind.
I would like to know where he got this info as well. Clearly there are newspaper articles to prove his father was a murderer, however I do not think the fact that the kids went into the house and cleared it out was to cover up evidence. Certainly the cops went through the house first?
I too, want to believe in the whole earth momma persona, but I have met other women like this in the past that gravely disappointed me. There is a level of self delusion happening here. It is an easy thing to happen will people fawn all over you, easy money is made, and you stick your head in the clouds with new age spiritual thoughts and substances. Not to mention the isolation now in Ecuador.
I could spend everyday debunking shit they say in their videos. To me, they are close to a comedy act, albeit a tragic one. They are not sexy, hip, cool or radical. They are posers in the digital world. I also think he is going to be a weird father as time goes on as well. I just do not like the way he deals with her and how he only has photos of him with his unclothed child on his FB page and none of Angela. Narcissists use their kids in weird ways.
I’d like to hear it to. Elainie has an incredible amount of life experience with all of these people.
White ormus? You have got to be kidding me. People really fall for this shit? Matt makes Harley sound rational.
Yeah, right?
I also want to add that it is pretty darn common for narcissistic men to put the blame on their wives or others as well for their bad choices. But, they are coconspirators now for sure.
My guess is that early on Angela gave him marketing advice and encouragement not thinking it would turn into the scam-o-rama that it has become. The problem with running a business like this is that it becomes a demanding machine. You have employees and expenses to keep afloat and this alone can make you compromise any ideal values you may have had in the beginning. I find it pretty amazing that they feel comfortable letting others run the show while they are frolicking in Ecuador. I would want to be too hands on for that. There are so many things that could go wrong if you are not there to keep a close watch.
Just like Freelee, she was so innocent when she first started out.
yeah- I couldn’t write anything without violating other people’s privacy- however I’ve been around raw food gurus for 25 years and have been privy to seeing a lot go on. Stuff I don’t want to talk about on here cause it’s gross in various ways.
You could tell stories without divulging names.
Please accept my sincere apology. I misinterpreted the following:
“[Jill Schall] said there are rumors that Wolfe owns property in Iran and has a safety deposit box somewhere in Europe, and the prosecutor said Wolfe’s brothers, his ex-wife and his sons from his first marriage “cleaned out” the couple’s home after the shooting.”
I read this at this site. http://www.infinite-love-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4050
Angela looks very unhappy here and very out of it, almost like she is drugged.
I really think they should become breatharian- that way they can breathe in all the nice chemtrail air and radioactive fallout without having to tax the body lol.
I had the opp to met them both and agree with the overall critical take in this thread… (hence DanceDreamer)
looking back how i reacted and believed the crap they are saying (to an extend) and the way i used to live following some Stuff clears up how ultimately your “mind rules matter”… and in some case imprisones it…
and yes i was even listening to Angela way earlier when she was still doing the juice thing in costa rica she was more innocent and less sale-driven, now her blogs are just a copy-paste Monarch sell-spam… nothing more than that.
The day Matt started his marketing heavily (he used to have some blog too be4) i asked him why it was more and more about dollars and he answered saying : there is no wrong in making some money whilst promoting health…
And at that time it was nothing like this days!
people , all of us, should take a weeee distance from what their beliefs is… and health can become easy an obsessions that may separate you from more important things… like family as example.
Ultimately neither money will make you happy and I doubt that in their rosy “love n light” world (kinda repressed) they have fullilled their ideal…
maybe Angela really is still craving some nice cooked meal and really tempted to have some, but afraid to fall into the cooked dilemma, not knowing how to balance it , and maybe seeing it black n white, considering her past. I agree she is kinda spaced out totally and that is something that people consider spiritual especially in the raw arena… it totalle angers me hey. get some ground and start livin real!
adya clarity was covered here in depth. Make up your mind but be critical:
http://www.cityofhargrave.com/adya.htm
Matt Monarch’s involvement with the product referred to as Adya Clarity began approximately two years ago. Upon his discovery of Adya he dubbed it the best product in the universe, which arguably it is, but the point is that those are his words, not mine, and it is important to remember them as we go along, because at bottom, the attempted destruction of this particular company was just another in a long line of citizen owned companies destroyed by these NWO operatives when they refuse to sell out, only to be subsequently replaced by what can only be referred to as big brother companies via their endorsement on such sites as naturalnews.com and therawfoodworldstore.com.
This time it appears bound to be an epic fail, and we had all better hope that it is, because Adya Clarity, as far as I can tell, is the one thing that alone can undo ALL of the damage they have done to us as a consequence of their chemical assault upon us that has gone on for decades, particularly via the water that we drink.
Matt Monarch formerly worked for the cable television channel MTV, until what he describes as an overnight metamorphosis in which he suddenly decided to adopt a completely raw vegan diet, left MTV, and burst up on the scene as a self-appointed guru in terms of natural health and owner of the world’s largest online natural health food source, The Raw Food World Store. He and his wife operate their business out of Equador, where he owns 800 acres tended by maids and gardeners, which he bought with the at least 6 or 7 million in profit he made selling Adya Clarity.
Adya Clarity first burst upon the American scene as a result of the hard work of the owner of the company in America, Matthew Bakos, and his wife, as they travelled around the country attending health expos to introduce the product to the U.S. market. In 2009 at a Health Expo in Chicago, Bakos was approached by one Dr. John Gray, author of the book “Men are from Mars”, “Women are From Venus,” and they engaged in a conversation during which Dr. Gray learned about Adya and took some of it for himself.
“You have to break the rules to get ahead.” – Matt Monarch
I guess this included ripping people off.
David Wolfe a scam artist?
http://www.posturown.com/david-wolfe-scam/
I keep reading this as
“Matt Monarch putting his privates out there”
…crazy vegan gurus and their shinanigans.
I paid 200$ for one large bottle of AC from these con artists (Matt and Angela) .. then they sold the same bottle for ‘At Cost’ at $100…. so basically they were making a 100% profit. something did not feel right.! then came along natural news with AC scam…. so i asked for a refund…. so far (after 8 months) NO REFUND. the only thing they offered is to buy more shit from their website for the dollars spent….it just feels wrong! why would i want to buy more shit from their website? they say they are out of money so cant refund yet .. may take a long time! so MM recommends i buy more shit from their website instead. What a bunch of THIEVES!
Are they going to get away with this? Really?
Where did you see or hear this? They need to fire their maids and gardeners then and sell some of the land they bought with the stolen money.
No he did not! Another crazy vegan showcasing his enema fetish:
I call this behavior fetish because it is simply unnecessary to go into this much detail about it for people to get it. There is another reason why he is doing this. Gross! This really puts natural health into a bad light IMO.
Well said….. I saw it in the email they sent me … in their own words below.. he is trying to avoid bankruptcy
“Matt’s main goal right now is to avoid bankruptcy and at this exact time we are unable to refund you, as the funds are not available to do so. However, Matt is willing to give you a store credit instead for 50% of your entire order, for you to use immediately, and to call it even. Otherwise, at this point, it will most likely take a minimum of eight months to review your specific case, which didn’t fit into the qualified time frames to receive a refund.”
http://www.naturalnews.com/035665_Matt_Monarch_Adya_Clarity_lawsuit.html
Monarch told NaturalNews that he has been “financially devastated” by dealing with Adya, Inc., because his company (Raw Food World) voluntarily announced a refund initiative that refunded the purchase price of customers who had purchased Adya Clarity. (Raw Food World was the largest distributor for Adya Clarity in North America, by far.) Adya, Inc., he says, has honored no such refunds and has even refused to refund unopened product that Monarch spent thousands of dollars to have shipped back to Adya, Inc.
On top of this, Adya Inc. is threatening to sue Monarch for roughly $200,000 which the company claims is owed by Monarch for product that he has already attempted to return to the company.
In addition to the legal action announced below, NaturalNews is initiating legal action against Adya, Inc. in an attempt to force a court-ordered halt to the importation and distribution of Adya, Inc. products in order to protect the health and safety of consumers. Details of that action are to be announced soon here at NaturalNews.com.
Statement by Matt Monarch / Raw Food World: Adya, Inc. is Suing “My Family!”
Can you believe this!? Do you remember how we voluntarily offered refunds about eight months ago for a product called Adya Clarity? It has been an extremely financially draining process; we gave a refund or store credit to everyone who asked for one, even though refunds were not officially ordered and it was very challenging economically for us to do this. We actually have about 10% of these refunds still left to process right now, which we hope to complete as soon as possible. Over the last eight months, we have hired another six employees to help handle this crisis. It has been an immensely time- and energy-consuming process and Angela and I have invested every last personal liquid asset of ours into this process, with absolutely zero refunds or compensation from Adya, Inc.
Out of all the raw food companies that sold Adya Clarity, we were the first to stand up and offer refunds. The majority of these other companies didn’t even follow through with refunding all of their customers, as we are doing.
We followed through with all of these thousands of refunds, because we felt it was the ethical thing to do, and now Adya, Inc. has the audacity to try to sue my “family and I”!
Adya, Inc. is suing “The Raw Food World, Inc.” for about $200,000.00. They are also threatening me that this is just the first lawsuit and that they have intentions to sue me for defamation, because as their biggest distributor I pulled out of selling their product and voluntarily offered all of my customers refunds for their purchases. I intend to vigorously defend against these claims.
Why is Adya, Inc. suing me?
When the whole “Adya drama” went down, which I’ll describe further below, I emailed Adya, Inc to ask if I could return our unopened and untouched product stock, which was all received to our warehouse within the last 7 – 30 days of that request. They responded yes and gave me a ‘pro number’ for this return. I then spent $5,000 – $6,000 to ship the product back. After I had already paid to send the product back, they rejected the shipment. They are also now demanding a massive amount of interest on the balance and “lawyer fees”. Additionally, I returned more than double the amount of product compared to our outstanding balance, so technically they owe me money. However, from the graciousness of my heart, I decided to let it all go and I didn’t refuse charges on my credit cards or anything of that nature.
Adya, Inc. has not issued one single refund for anyone. Right now we’re at a point where we’ve finished refunding 90% of all the thousands and thousands of refund requests from customers. Angela and I have not even taken one penny from ‘The Raw Food World, Inc.’ over the last eight months, in order to swiftly refund everyone as best we can and make this right. We have been fortunate enough to be able to live off our land by growing our own food and so on. Now, with this nonsensical court case against The Raw Food World, we’re being required to put all of our funds into defending the company. We were so close to finishing these refunds and moving on.
The history of Adya Clarity and The Raw Food World:
I started selling a product called Adya Clarity in which I strongly believed. This product became popular and started to gain a lot of attention. About eight months ago as I write this, Mike Adams, the man behind the most popular online “natural news” website in the world posted seven articles about the different potential dangers of this product. These articles can be viewed by clicking here.

By the way, a lot of people have gotten refunds. It’s a shame that you were naive enough to even buy the stuff, DreamDancer, but I think you should try to move on with your life. Holding on to anger only prolongs illness and causes cancer.
I didn’t get a refund but am letting that 30 dollars or whatever I spent on the small bottle go.
I’m glad I only tried it once- didn’t feel right to me at all to consume.. Just a vibe I got. I should have muscle tested it before trying it even that one time . I was worried I might have done damage, at least I wasn’t pregnant when I tried it but I did have a newborn.
This is a manipulation. He would not lie, would he? I bet you it is more like 10% got a refund and 90% did not.
Have you ever worked in the business world Shelly? Have you ever worked very closely with a CEO and seen the process of high volume money making and deal making? No? I thought so. Well I have and you would not believe how these people like like fuck. People lie about money period.
This is why I say Matt Monarch is an idiot. You do not offer refunds unless you can afford to give them The fact that he is now trying to garner sympathy from people is beyond the pale when in most of his videos you can see his maid in the background. Maybe the asshole should move back to the states and run his business day to day so he does not have to pay someone 50k to run it for him so he can have a free and fun life in Ecuador. Maybe then he can afford to give people their money back. 
;Don’t be and idiot and believe what this guy says.
How do you REALLY know? Because he said so? I do not think so.
Oh and now I am the NAIVE one?
You are an idiot parrot yourself Shelly. How do you REALLY know that this is the truth? This is called blaming the victim. This is an example of subtle emotional abuse that comes from the world of magical thinking new age marketing bullshit.
Shelly is a perfect example of why people like Matt get away with conning the public. She is totally supporting their behavior because she wants to believe in the fairytale they project.
This is the kind of simplistic thinking that appeals to those that think on a very surface level. It sounds good on at first glance, but if you really think about it, it is just another manipulation in order to get people to deny their own thoughts, feelings and truth. This sort of notion is taught by abusers IMO and simplistic thinkers accept it and spread it around thinking they are being, ‘insightful and holistic’.
LMAO. Insightful? No.
@ shelly … This is exactly what the Thieves are hoping for … so they dont have to refund … frustrate the hell out of people so they move on with their life …
the least we can do is to caution other people out there.. who are fixing to give their hard earned money to these thieves.
May be shelly works for them! thats why she wants us to let it go… so she can get her pay check!
Totally.
Michelle/Alara left The Raw Food World. She co-wrote both of Matt’s books. What is it about these guys? None of them seem to be able to write their own material.
Alara is a personal favorite of mine. She reminds me of the people I knew way back in my health food co-op days when all this stuff was not so popular. I really hope she comes back online and creates her own website!! Where are you Alara??
Something tells me she may have left the company for ethical reasons. She is just that type to do so as well, I think anyway. In her blog she called the products on their website, “raw junk”. Love her!!!
Berry,
The other issue with that product is the price. It is way too expensive. I am pretty sure I know what it is, but would need to run some tests on it. If anyone has some they could send me to test out, that would be great. I will report on it here as well. I have some contacts that I can call about it as well in the industry on the back end. I am just not going to pay that high dollar amount to test it out however.
Plus, there are some people in Japan that like to fool the dumb Americans with bogus products such as the Emoto Water book and such.
@AncestralDreams…The “Alara” that you’re talking about, is she’s the one who has a boyfriend name Zack? If yes, I’m kind of shocked that she would leave Matt’s company. Did Zack leave as well? Alara and Angela seemed to get along so wonderfully–at least on camera. I didn’t get that same feeling between her and Matt.
BTB, Yes, that is the Alara that I am talking about. Zak is still there and it appears they have broken up as well. That is all I know right now. IMO, she helped make the whole business the success that it was. Not so sure now how it is going to fare in the wake of the poor choices Matt has made concerning Adya Clarity and refusing to give people refunds after promising them. Why would you offer to do that if you could not cover it? I think he thought not that many people would request a refund.
Anyway, I hope she surfaces and gets online to make her own money! She never needed to work for Matt anyway. She can make way more money online doing her own thing. She was ill and helped herself. She has a lot of real learning to help people with. Unlike Matt that was never ill or obese. Without Angela’s life story, his business would not do nearly as well IMO.
From the videos that I saw of Alara and Zack, when they visited the Monarchs in Vilcabamba, she comes across as being very emotionally sensitive. About 5 minutes into this video Matt say’s, “You’re not going to start crying again?” Because she did cry often while she was there. She looks like she’s always about to break down. I hope she has improved this aspect of her being. In comparing her to Angela…Angela seems to be more emotionally stable. I don’t know if Alara has it in her to come out and expose the The Raw Food World store, and Matt and Angela’s relationship–but it would be nice–especially because it’s coming from someone who’s been at the scene from the beginning.
When Alara say, “I think we’re going to move here.” Meaning Ecuador, Matt’s response, “Kool” sounds shaky to me. There’s awkwardness between Matt and Alara.
Yes she is sensitive and an innocent person. She probably would not like it if she read what you just wrote about her emotional stability. I guess Angela does come across as more stable because Angela does not have the stress Alara had. Angela has maids and is able to have an easy life. Alara used to run that company for them, so I am sure it took a toll on her. I am sure it was also VERY depressing knowing that Matt was making all this money, when she was only making a salary. I always felt that was the reason she was emotional in these videos. It would make me cry too knowing that I help this guy write his books and run his business and he got all the rewards.
I think she has so much to offer and I only hope she comes back online doing her own thing!! It takes a sensitive person to be careful what you put out there in the world that will influence others. Unlike Matt, that will sell raw junk to people and he rationalizes it by saying it is transitional foods.
It would be professional suicide for her to speak publicly about her time at the raw food world company. I think she should never do that and I do not think she will. Everyone will be better served if she just becomes a teacher of natural living herself.
My hope is that now that she is away from that company that she will try to incorporate some high quality fish and meat into her diet. I think she would highly benefit from this. It has helped me by doing so with my emotional health. Animal fats and proteins are something I crave for my well being. I think that with a lot of raw and fermented veggies is a top tier diet for wellness, also with some select fruits.
@AncestralDreams , is there a link to where she called it “raw junk” ?
It is interesting, especially since not even less than a month ago, she actually endorsed the inability to refund the money they owe me and also sang the Thieves praises!! now suddenly she does not work there?
may be she finally realized who she was working for? or come to terms with reality? whatever the case, hoping she will not contribute anymore to such money making business ‘At Cost’ of other innocent/naive folks out there!
@AncestralDreams,
Where did you read that Alara left The Raw Food World Store? How long ago did she leave? I would love to hear her opinion about the Adya Clarity debacle, and about all the useless products that she and Zack were responsible for shipping. I mean why not come out and expose the business for what it is. She would be doing justice on behave of all the people that have been swindled.
“It would be professional suicide for her to speak publicly about her time at the raw food world company. I think she should never do that and I do not think she will. Everyone will be better served if she just becomes a teacher of natural living herself.”
Come on now really? Professional suicide? If she left because she was under appreciated and under paid, If she left because of differences in opinion with Matt and Angela, she would be praised for speaking up about why she decided to move forward.
“She probably would not like it if she read what you just wrote about her emotional stability.”
I stated the obvious. In doing so, I didn’t degrade her condition. We’re all to a certain degree emotionally challenged, some more than others. I agree, maybe she will benefit from incorporating other foods into her diet.
“I guess Angela does come across as more stable because Angela does not have the stress Alara had. Angela has maids and is able to have an easy life. Alara used to run that company for them, so I am sure it took a toll on her. I am sure it was also VERY depressing knowing that Matt was making all this money, when she was only making a salary.”
Let’s assume that her job took a toll on her emotional health, and that she wanted a larger piece of the pie of the company for her and Zack, wouldn’t Zack be out of there too if he felt that they were being undermind and under paid? I’m thinking there could be unresolved issues between Alara and Zack that might help explain why she bolted. Who knows? Maybe she wants Angela’s life style, but that’s a wish that Zack failed in making it come true.
In this video I like when she smiles when saying that she’s the written word of the raw world. Maybe she’s hinting, about being a co-author for Matt’s books. I have never read his books. I’m pretty sure that Matt made her sign a contract that details her role in the projects, and the amount of money that she was paid for her efforts. In this video she talks about the changes that are happening in her life and the name change from Michelle to Alara. She and Zack fell in love at the job–at was an office romance.
Berry,
It crossed my mind a few nights ago that their ‘at cost’ specials were a farce. I can assure you, Matt Monarch does very little from his heart. LOL!
I am sure Alara was just doing her job when she said what she did about the Adya refunds not being available. As you know, it takes time to move away from a job that you hate, that may be killing you or is is unethical in some way. Hopefully she is doing much better now.
I swear, when I saw Angela getting involved with Matt and some of the others, I knew that it would not be good for her on an integrity level. These people reward talented innocent people with a job, money, mini-fame, ego strokes, so therefore they get sucked in. It happens all day long in every industry under the sun. Most people just do not have the life experience to understand what is going to happen to them down the road when they hook up with these types of people.
AncestralDreams
Yes, i know and understand what you are talking about with regards to being stuck in unhealthy jobs!
Do you have a link to her comment on calling their foods ‘Raw junk’?
BTB,
I will comment on the video after I get to watch it. (I am working over here)
Sorry, no man is obligated to provide a lifestyle to a woman. Believe me when I say that Angela brings a VAST amount to the raw food world company. Weight loss is a huge industry. The majority are women that buy that stuff. The majority of their customers are WOMEN. Angela pulls them in. Otherwise, that business would be less than half of what it is, IMO.
From what I gather, Alara and Zak broke up. I know nothing more.
It was pretty easy to find this stuff out. I just called and ask for her at the company. Simple.
She called the products ‘raw junk’ on her old blog of which you can find here:
http://becomingyounger.blogspot.com/
She has a lot of food allergies and she is just a sensitive woman that seeks to find answers like most of us here.
I do not know what line of work you are in BTB, but yeah, she should NOT come out and trash the company in a public way because NO other company will want to work with her. She also worked on Kevin Trudeau’s health books as well. She is much more than what people understand. She is just like John McCabe. She is talented and humble. It is very common for this to be the case. The people that have to ‘convince’ people they are special or talented, are really not that so much and often copy the work of others. The people that are the most original are humble and do not feel the need to make a big impression on people. So therefore what you end up with are inferior people that end up being in the public eye promoting whatever. I see this time and time again.
Sure, I think many or maybe even most people can relate to this issue. My opinions are based on my own personal life experiences and what I see in the world when I look at it with my rational and logical mind. Some of what I talk about has happened to me in the work place and I have seen it also happen to others. This is why I can speculate the way I do. I may get much of it right, but there may be some stuff where I am off.
BTW, Just Human, I spend most of my time in research. Just because I said that I liked a certain TV program called, Lie To Me, does not mean I base my opinions on what I picked up from that show. I was studying non-verbal communication for years before that showed aired. Any attempts to dismiss my observations will sink quickly as I have put in my time in formal education as well and continue to do so. There is not enough hours in the day for me where learning is concerned.
oh ok… i thought that revelation came to her recently…. and thats why she left that company …..
so she was contributing to selling that junk even though she knew it was junk? that is pretty unhealthy…sad. so many of us got snagged into buying that junk…!!..
Anyone know what is going on with their lawsuits?
Please do not be hard on her! I did not post about her for that to happen!
How many people can say that they support everything that their company does or sells? Not many. That is just the nature of the marketplace today. JUNK sells and nobody forced us to buy the stuff. It really is more constructive to understand WHY you bought it and WHY it did nothing for you or kept you off of a better path.
You know, I could write much more on this topic. I do not want to give Harley and Leanne any ideas to use in their marketing. I can see here and there where they have picked up a few things from this site already. Especially Harley.
The main focus should be on the owners of the company and why the hell they are not giving you the money back. If I were you, I would start a facebook page telling people to boycott them until they live up to what they promised. I do not have the time for this and plus, I was not one of their victims. I have just watched it all unfold.
People must understand that they have an easy life in Ecuador with maids and gardeners. You did not think they were out there doing the hard work in the garden, did you??
If they are so hard up for money, they should come back to the states and get to work. Geesh. The audacity is more than unbelievable.
The Monarch Elite of the Raw Food World.
How many people in the modern world can afford to give their child such undivided attention that they can use elimination communication with their infant. This is a VERY elite position to be in. This is simply NOT realistic for most families.
So Angela and Matt may have to come back to the states and put a damn diaper on Oria so they can work all day like the rest of the world and pay people back the money they owe them. Maybe they can avoid a class action law suit this way.
I knew that fool Matt Monarch was making a big ole stupid mistake hawking Adya Clarity the way that he did. He clearly has some sort of OCD because he became fixated on it as well as a few other things he talks about. Some people that have OCD actually benefit from it in the marketplace because they so intensely hawk it to others.
AncestralDreams .. you are right! .. you have a kind heart….!! in your own words though… .. …It is just that you do not expect it from this people… anyways…. with regards to your ‘Why’s'…. I bought it because a natural practitioner said i had candida and since they touted AC has the be all cure for candida .. i trusted them (for the very same reason …. you do not expect it from these people to sell JUNK for high prices) and bought one big bottle for $200…. …… but now i know better, i for one will not be buying such packaged products anymore .. especially the ones that promises to be a Magic cure!
you say you were not a victim of these people… but do spend a significant amount of time disliking them in your comments etc… ..you must have some reason for it. whatever the reason, hopefully people from asia/europe etc read all these valuable comments on this page and boycott them.
No i did not think they were gardening .. i also noticed workers/maids in their vidoes… hoping everyone else did too…. they are selling a lifestyle…’A happy one’.. and distraught people are buying all the JUNK thinking that lifestyle will be theirs….only to be disappointed later.
Berry,
I am focusing on them here because I have been a victim of the type of marketing they employ. I could have paid for a small house with the money I have spent in the natural wellness marketplace. At one point I started really analyzing what these people were doing, the products and consumer behavior. People like Matt Monarch confuse the public about some of these products/concepts and this can lead to grave misunderstandings and also ruin the market for GOOD products. It makes me mad as hell.
The primary issue with Adya Clarity is that it is way overpriced. Please do not feel as though you have been poisoned. That article was written by Mike Adams for some weird political reason. The reason is unclear to me at this point. Mike Adams is using fear mongering more and more in his marketing and writing. While much of his content is good, some of is misinformation IMO.
You deserve your money back. If you have the time, start a blog about it, write a complaint on ripoffreport.com–there are a few already on there, and or start a facebook page about the issue. These people will not live up to what is right unless they have something big to lose.
I also have some experience as an activist, so this kind of thing comes naturally to me.
If any of you have some Adya sitting around that you are not going to use, if you send it to me, I will do some testing and research on it to try and figure out what it really is and separate their marketing content from fact to fiction. I can not pay for this stuff however, I have done some investigative work on products before, so I am pretty good at it. (I will pay for shipping.) I know how many of these companies operate and how they can make stuff sound far more than it is. Adya may prove to have some real value and application or not. The very one thing that I doubt is that it is worth what they are charging.
Anyway, if you are interested in having me do this, email me at happyhiker20@yahoo.com and we can make arrangements.
The Adya Clarity SCAM and the Goji Berry SCAM are similar, but AC poses more of a health risk to its users. The hucksters behind the creation of these disingenuous products are the “Marjoes” of the the health industry. If you don’t know who Marjoe the former revivalist was, go to Youtube and watch the documentary “Marjoe.”
Matt Monarch was the largest distributor of AC, but there were countless small time dealers that were selling it as if it were holy water. One of those small time dealers was Dave The Raw Food Truck Drivers business partner Teresa Yung. She was a FB friend. When I confronted her about it, she became defensive, and said that she was going to continue selling the product. She deleted me eventually because I was posting on her FB wall info about the dangers of AC. She also appears in David Wolfe Nutri-Bullet blender infomercial. By the way DW sold Adya Clarity under the name Black Mica.
Watch as a Canadian TV reporter exposes Earl Mindell’s Himalayan Goji Juice scam.
Blender scam.
Adya Clarity reminded me of MMS.
I think what we need to do is first have a working understanding of how to define a marketing scam. I think that is part of the problem. It is a subjective term in the everyday world.
I have some experience with ‘black mica’ from a research standpoint. This is why I want to do some research on Adya Clarity to deduce the truth as much as possible.
Much of the ‘scam’ aspect in some of the supplements, appliances, or gadgets really lie in how they are marketed. It does not mean they are worthless, but the truth lies in how much they are worth in the applied life of the consumer.
BTB,
Yeah, ole David ‘Scama” Wolfe is the leader of the American Hucksters Association. He is so good, he mentors others how to get into the biz. That machine is made rather poorly and does not seem to have ‘longevity’ as it is touted. Check out the Amazon reviews for yourself.
I met Mr Wolfe six or so years ago and had a little private chat with him outside of Wholefoods. Like a dumbass I paid $35 for one lb of his ‘raw’ chocolate. He was so strange in how he tried to impress upon me that he only sold the ‘best’ food you can get. He also said some stupid stuff about how he only ate like five things to get his nutrition. I thought about asking him if he had heard about traditional foods, but decided not to. A few years later he started semi-promoting them on the sly because his assistant, Goji girl could not get pregnant on his raw vegan diet, but did so later when she started to eat good quality animal products. Good for her. Now you can hear David refer to them as ‘original’ foods. LOL That raw chocolate that I paid for was nothing more than regular cooked chocolate that should have cost $5.00. And, as it turns out he wrote very little of his books! The goji berries that he sells for $14 for 6oz can be had for $2.00 lb in China town. The guy is a fucking crook and predator. There are some good people that affiliate themselves with him because his is a bitch of a promoter and they are rewarded for following and supporting him. My hope is some of these good people will get away from him sooner, rather than later.
That bullet machine reminds me of the blender that Montel Williams hawked after he got into raw foods for his MS. That thing sucked. It was a waste of sick people’s money. Montel is another huckster as well. He used to have that charlatan Silvia Browne on his show ’bout every week. She is evil. There is a web site dedicated to exposing her gypsy magic.

If someone looks like a nut or a kook, chances are they are just that. Sorry, but that is just the way it is. She looks like hell on wheels with her crazy eyes and extra long finger nails.
Marjoe is awesome. That documentary helped to wake me up from my spiritual brain fog. Love him!! I wish I knew how to write him to thank him for coming out and revealing the scam-o-rama of the good time church up the street of the holy-rollers-r-us.
lol, david wolfe is fat, and funny!
I just watched the first two videos about Earl Mindell. Very good investigative work on the reporter’s part. First, his body language is a dead give away. In the first shot, he lunges at the reporter pointing a finger in her face very aggressively. This is called Narcissistic Rage. This happens when a narcissist is called out on his bullshit. They fly into a rage.
Of course he tries to verbally dance around her confrontations to no avail, big fail.
In the middle video, he rubs his nose, which can indicate that he is lying. When he looks at the study that he falsely uses to promote his severely overpriced juice, he reads it with his middle finger, which is a way of telling her to go to hell. LOL
Shelly,
Angela does too know who to pronounce the name Matt. I hope that she will start talking like a grown woman around him now that she has a baby.
She says his name in this early video.
You know AncestralDreams- you are onto something with the raw gurus being sociopathic/psychopathic. The censorship is starting to remind me of the psychopath I was involved with. He used the same tactics.
Have you ever read that book the Sociopath Next Door? Also there’s one guy Thomas Sheridan who speak a lot about psychopaths.
Yes, I am very well read on this topic. As you know, psychopaths rule the world and they seek power, including in the natural wellness industry. I mean, think about it? It is VERY easy to get started as a guru in this industry and it will and does attract those that seek easy power, money and fame. It is perfect for them like the ministry or politics are as well.
I lost everything due to my involvement with a psychopath. He fooled me for a long long time, as well as many others. I also almost lost my life because of him, after I gave him amazing friendship and professional assistance for a decade. I was in a brain fog due to my health issues. This is why I know what I do and can see it in these people. He also took my New Age spiritual beliefs and used them to manipulate me. I was very very vulnerable because I was so sickly and the stress of dealing with him made me sicker and kept me from doing what I needed to heal myself, yet I was also financially dependent on him, so I trusted him for a long time. He was not my lover, but a business partner and I thought, a close dear friend. I thought of him as family at the time.
These people lack a conscience. I believe Matt Monarch is a psychopath and he will not feel any guilt over his actions. However, I do feel as though Angela is NOT a psychopath and she will carry the emotional toil over what has taken place. I think she became an unwitting partner in this whole ordeal. But she knows now, what will she do? As you know, Elainie, it takes times to get away from a psychopath, especially if you are in business with them or married to them. I am so happy you are on here and we can relate to each other because we have 20 plus years being around these people.
BTW, Thomas Sheridan is great. His info helped me a lot and I still go back to it from time to time to remind myself what I need to keep on guard for. My nature is to be very trusting, so it is work for me to not be!
Thomas can get a little carried away at times when he tries to apply his knowledge, like his take on the Freak Out video kids. LOL. Have you seen that one? It was a joke, but he took it seriously. He also appears not to enjoy debating with others on the topic, which leads me to think he has some control issues as well. :) But, that does not dilute his information on the topic.
I want to add that after my long duress, traditional foods are helping me regain my strength. Raw vegan foods did the opposite of what I needed as a single source paradigm. I feel grounded, more emotionally strong and clear headed now because of high quality animal fats and protein, along with a few select supplements.
I am gaining my self confidence back again, which feels amazing. So, please for anyone reading this that may feel like there is no hope to regain your vitality back, please keep on reading and get on good homemade pastured broths. That one thing will help you so very much. Eat the best seafood you can afford and listen to your body first. Take HCL to help with digestion as well.
Earl Mindell’s video is interesting, but NOT surprising.. Goji juice, noni juice , chia seeds this kind of stuff became so famous suddenly.. huge bottles of goji juice could be found in health food stores for 30-40 some dollars… we actually bought noni juice , brought it home, tried a shot of it, looked at each other and said “what is so special about this?” we took it back and got our full refund..!!
Before i bought AC, i actually thought i did some investigation, but just did not do it right. I emailed someone who wrote a very favorable comment on The Lunatic’s (Matt Monarch’s)adya clarity video and asked what they thought about it, and ofcourse they said they were getting rid of a lot of shit from their body.. big dark ugly looking stuff was seen in their poop etc etc… .. i guess i later realized that was a pretty poor investigation on my part… ofcourse the people who comment on their videos are either themselves or someone appointed by them… which brings me to testimonies that you often read for a product.. I have seen hundreds of testimonies for a product on the website of the people selling the products and ofcourse they are all good.. you can never find bad testimonies.. AC was one of them .. when this was getting famous.. i could not find a single negative testimony on the internet for it….
Young Living essential oil is another such MLM scheme .. highly expensive oils.. they lie that they produce it in the facilities… most of them are procured from somewhere else and labels changed… I have seen it sold sometimes as organic… but it is not… people pour these oils on their skin.. raindrop therapy etc etc… awful…
bioidentical progesterone oils is another… Dr Peter eckhart sells those , and he calls himself a Dr…. but someone on the internet as a whole website on this scam and how she could not find any reference of him being a doctor…. he has however hundreds of testimonies on his website… that claims amazing results on using this product…. he says his oil is the best… and resolves all womens issues.
and the list goes on…..
I was once in Maine and went to a health food store , to be greeted by several copies of david wolfes’ books at the entrance.. his face was everywhere… scary!! poor people.. they probably had no idea who that idiot was…. What is scary is atleast some people in the US and canada may have figured out all this scam.. what would happen to people in asia/europe etc.. they probably have no idea.. and their stores are probably full of this shit and just catching on…
@AncestorDreams.. what would you accomplish by testing AC? Ok, so if you found out it is not harmful, but the price is not justified , then what ? what would you do with that information ?
Also i was curious about your comment on the earl mindell’s video when he used the middle finger to read the document… do you think he does that subconsciously or is that a deliberate action … that he is telling her to go to hell?
*yawn*
Is this thread really still going?
Berry, You did all that you could do. It is not so easy to find out the truth about many of these products. Even if you work for the companies, they will not tell you the truth. They want to keep you in the dark so you will tow the company line, hence the good people that work for Matt.
Yes, Earl Mindell was giving her the finger without conscious thought IMO.
As far as getting some Adya Clarity, I will just do some simple tests here at my place to see what it does to water. I will also ingest some of it. I will read their marketing material and make some phone calls to investigate their claims. As mentioned, I have some experience with researching black mica already and I think I am a good person to try and find out more about this product. I have done so with other products before. I started doing this kind of investigative work in order to help myself find the information and supplements that were worthwhile.
I believe the SCAM aspect of Adya Clarity is the retail price and some of their claims. Nobody has died from this product. I will also do more research on Mike Adams claim against it, such as it being imported as battery acid and what that REALLY means to you, the consumer.
I don’t know exactly which side of the fence you stand on Adya Clarity. It’s clear how you feel about Matt M. and Mike A. but somewhere in the back of your mind, you seem to think that Adya Clarity may actually be safe to consume until someone ends up six feet under. I have followed this scam from the very start. I don’t believe–not for a second that Matt and Mike teamed up to discredit the founder of Aday Clarity Matt Bakos. Mike went head first alone to expose the scam. Knowing what a greedy bastard Matt is, do you think, he would go to Mike and tell him, after making million from AC, that AC has properties that may be harmful to its consumers, and that its only fair to expose it for what it is? HELL NO! If Mike hadn’t exposed the scam–Matt would still be buying up land and horses. When Matt found about the potential health risk that AC posed to its consumers, he literally found out what Mr. Bakos had been hiding all along. Mike broke the fraud wide open and when it got back to “the dealers,” that’s when they freaked out and began dumping their stock through half off sale. Paul Nison the fake religious creep sent out e-mails to people saying that, he had finished giving a lecture and he had bottles of AC left that he couldn’t fit into his car; that his loss was your gain at half the cost. He did this just days after the news broke. Hopefully this video will help you see how dangerous this product actually is.
BTB,
First of all, calm down. Second of all, Bakos is clearly making wild and over the top claims about his product. Thirdly, as far as I understand it, most trace mineral products have aluminum in them as a part of the mineral matrix. Just google it. Lastly, the sulfuric acid, I do believe is a common thing in the industry that companies use for extraction purposes. It is used in other brands on the market I do believe and it is rather comparable to the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs that digests our food. I take it as a supplement myself.
However, in order for me to get all the facts straight, I will have to put more time in and homework.
I seriously think the answer is to call for a boycott of The Raw Food World. I am sick of these people getting away with what they are doing to the industry and to unwitting consumers.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the best type of website to set up for this would be?
LOL I’m calm as can be. AncestralDreams, are you and DreamDancer the same person?
That’s my take on it too.
Yes, I am dreamdancer.
It is not about being for or against Adya. I just want to flush out the facts as I can find them.
I have dealt with enough reporters to know that you can not trust all that they write.
Mike Adams is helping David Wolfe cover up that he knowingly went into business with the son of a Monsanto executive.
AncestralDream did this interview make you come to that conclusion?
C-Men you could always take new photo’s of your abs and post them for Hannah. LOL
First of all, it is nothing new that big mainstream corps buy up companies in the natural health food industry. That has been going on for a long time. You go into any health food store and 80% of the products are now owned by one of these companies.
Mike asks, why would these companies what to ally with these big companies? They do not ally with them, they sell their company to them for $$$. Plain and simple. Geesh.
Yeah, I only listened to part of this video. I saw the written interview on naturalnews.com a few weeks ago. Listen, when all this was going down, I talked privately to some of the key players that worked very closely with David and I was told that David knowingly went into business with this guy who was the son of a Monsanto executive. That person told me that they basically played each other. I have enough experience in the business world to believe this. David Wolfe is not a trustworthy person and the fact that Mike Adams is helping him cover his tracks makes me not trust Mike. I even emailed David Wolfe on Facebook and asked him about it and you know what the fucker said to me? He said, “I will have to write a book about it one day. Go and ‘like’ my facebook page.” LOL, I kid you not. That says it all right there!
There is a lot to fear in this world with everything that is happening. However, Mike does some things now that I think are not right and the way he fear mongers is a major turn off. There are people that think he plays on both sides of the fence.
Most of these guys are some sort of narcissists and or psychopaths. You really need to study the subject and or have some first hand, up close experience with these types of people to fully understand how they manipulate the fuck out of people and they can be rather psychotic sometimes in that they believe their own lies as well.
If I have the time, I may look into all this as I can. I reread some of the material on natural news about Adya and the way that it was written was very very fear-based manipulative ‘news’ reporting. Nature’s chemical elements are used all the time for all sorts of industrial uses and the fact that one of them is imported as battery acid and is used in the chelation extracting process of earth bound minerals, does not mean it will be harmful for humans to ingest. As mentioned, I have done some research already on this industry in the past.
It is very common for people to confuse the public with chemical terms and to manipulate them one way or another.
Again, there are other mineral companies out there that have use sulfuric acid in the extraction process. Some of the companies have been in business a long time.
I worked in the natural health industry long enough to see many things that I did not like. You would not believe the games that these people play and they love the power, money and fame. They are like vampires sucking on the life force of an unwell and hurting population, all the while telling you that what they are doing is good for you. Then you die and they get rich and famous.
The best thing that anyone can learn to do, is their own research. Sometimes you have to dig really really deep to get to the truth.
Just do a simple search on Mike Adams, fraud, scam–those kinds of terms and see what you can read. I always like to hear contrary opinions about any topic, because it makes me see things from a different perspective. To do proper research, you need to look at counter opinions or arguments and weigh your information against them. Then, employ the power of deduction, and you may get somewhere close to the truth.
Listen, you better believe that these guys are monitoring this forum. My ip address appears to be blocked now by naturalnews.com. I can pull up any other site now, but that one.
Well, it just occurred to me that some years back, something like 4 – 5, prior to the monarchs being married, they were purchasing their property in vilcabamba valley from Adams himself. He was the first one there who had this huge land there, which he was braking into subdivisions and was selling it. I learned it from adam’s video of the sale. he himself filmed it and posted it in his natural news. They are practically neighbours there. The Adam s family (could not help this :) lives more on top of the hill – and thge Monarchs on the bottom by the river. Adam was saying in the video he would be coming to get some river mud from the monarchs property to fertilize his veggie garden. There were such great friends – almost like brothers loving each other. There was also another piece of land that adam was marketing and showing and trying to sell. Next to the monarch’s property he had already bought. It is quite likely that this is the land monarch bought as well, and stopped adam from coming to the river to get the free river mud toveggies. Or m onarch decided to charge adam for the river mud … hence I suspect there was a fall out of sorts between the two of them, well… monarch is an asshole, after all… and mike wrote that anti ayda water article – to destroy monarch. Those two live side by side… funny how all this happened and it seems that adam’s article ruined monarch’s multi million sales business.
Something dirty happened there.. between those two. And yet… in the paradise they have to live together… side by side… I suspect disliking each other…it must be real hell to live next to matt monarch …and imagine, it was adam himself who brought monarch down there and helped him to settle down in that paradise…adam’s paradise!
These are just some ideas and assumptions – maybe someone could shed some more light on this?
This is possible. He knows Matt is manipulative, but not that smart. Mike is smarter than Matt. It is my understanding that Mike Adams no longer lives in Ecuador. Last time I heard, he was in Austin, Texas. However, all his assets are safely outside of the states so he can not be sued for anything.
I mean come on. Mike is hooked up with Alex Jones and they are affiliated with David Ike. I mean a lot of bad things happen, but to say that these people are reptiles can be labeled a mental illness. The over the top fear mongering is a major tool used by religious groups that seek to control their flock. I see it as the same thing. It is one thing to warn people in a logical and rational manner, but these guys do not do that. They employ volatile emotionality to garner attention. This is never considered good journalism.
Here is an interesting link
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/NaturalNews
Yes, I also find Adam’s fear mongering ‘end of the world’ readiness preparedness articles very manipulative… the article usually ends up selling some of Adam’s item without which one wold not survive the end of the world.
Interesting adam does not live in the vilcabamba valley any longer… so maybe monarch has bought adam’s property as well?
Who knows really about the land situation.
I always thought Matt married Angela because she would be good for his business. I know this sounds harsh, but that is just what I always felt. It does not mean he does not like her. But, he just the kind of guy to do something like that. He would have NEVER sold and made millions off of Adya had he not had sweet Angela on camera saying how it ‘cured’ her candida. She still had systemic candida eating a raw vegan diet after nine years?? If that is true, then my feeling that high levels of omega 6 in the body promotes systemic candida—and eating all those nut butters they promote like Pili nut, would contribute to this condition. But, this is just a feeling on my part based on observation.
This idea that the level of fat in your body can affect your candida levels that is promoted by Doug Graham really may have more to do with the type of fat that is in your body. Perhaps this is why some people see results on 811—they just decrease omega 6 and get better omega 3 ratios, within a very restricted diet paradigm. It is very easy to confuse why you get results from any of these natural methods. It is not like they are held up to any scientific testing methods to prove the results.

Here are some women that are talking about Mike Adams and their opinions on his style of ‘reporting’
http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/79/topic/746191
I guess I am unblocked now. I can get back on naturalnews.com
MammaMia When the AC scandal broke, I messaged Mike Adams, via Facebook, and asked him if he still lived in Ecuador. He said that he left in 2010.
AncestralDreams , dont let these fearmongers get to you… LOL..
If that were the case, I wonder how come Matt had that big Refund scheme in that same article? and all the drama of how badly he wants to make the situation RIGHT for everybody… and that refund will be given to ANYONE WHO WANTS IT?
I tested it out about ten times and waited a while to make sure that I could be right about being blocked. You can see everybody’s ip address on here you know, of which I do not like. I think it is a security issues and those posting need to know this fact.
If you have ever owned a professional website, then you would know you can block ip addresses from viewing them.
Berry,
To me, it appears that Matt was not even made aware of the article before it was published. Considering the relationship between Mike and Matt, I find this very odd and it tells me that perhaps there was a rift in the relationship at the time. When you do business with people so much can go wrong and cause issues.
I think Matt just offered a refund because it made him look good at the time and he did not think many people would ask for one back. Extremely unprofessional on every level to not live up to that offer. It could cost him everything and maybe that is what Mike really wants for some reason. Maybe Matt pissed him off at some point and he is exercising his control.
AncestralDreams, you are right!… i was being silly.. i wish there was a way to hide the ip address from being seen. but it is the net .. there is probably a lot of monitoring going on…..
Berry,
I know you were just teasing. :)
Well, no other forum that I know of makes the ip addresses available to the public. I have emailed Sean about it, but he has not returned my email. It is not a good thing to do and I can only think he did so because of people having more than one account on here.
I was wrong Berry. GoDaddy servers went down today for several hours due to a hacking job. Natural News uses them as their hosting server.
I find that he uses Godaddy pretty interesting as the owner of that company is a horrible person. He kills wild elephants for sport.

Both Skeptics and Adams make me Sick
AncestralDreams, is this information available publicly?
there was speculation at the time that mike adams himself wrote or helped to write the big apology from the monarchs about adya clarity. people who were familiar with matt and angela claimed that the language sounded nothing like them but did sound an awful lot like adams’ writing.
I am wondering what can get such a site international wide hits….. the monarchs get atleast a 1000 to some 2000+ hits on their boring videos…. this site should get atleast that much if not more .
you would think there should be a shit load of dissatisfied customers pouring in here to share their stories (NON Refund or otherwise) .. but yet there are only a few of us here… could that be due to that people have not made it here yet.?…. just concerned that there are still a lot of people unaware and are still buying shit from them.. may be they still remain hypnotized….
I also wonder like Gosia mentioned above .. about the existence of some government customer-support agencies that one could contact in relation to it and complain. anyone knows?
I suppose that could make sense…. especially if adams were trying to fuck monarchs over….. jeez this is all so fucked up….. but if that were the case .. i dont know what could have stopped them from disclaiming that on their website!!
Ahh. Yeah. Well, it is good just to read both sides I think. The skeptics make a good point in that many people think that people are selling supplements out of the goodness of their hearts, but you have to understand that this is a profit driven business just like big pharma and some people will do messed up things to turn a dollar. Other people or companies may put in a lot of time and money to bring something new and innovative that is really very helpful and priced fairly and when they have to compete with sloppy profiteers like Matt Monarch and company, it makes it more difficult for GREAT products to reach the consumer.
That is the thing about the natural wellness industry and people like Matt and Angela. You hold them to a higher standard because they are the alternative to big Ag and big Pharma, and the industry has an image that is soft, natural, and nurturing. However, the reality can be very different. These people are often rigid, controlling and fixated in real life. This is where it is important to read the counter points of view of the skeptics because it makes you look at the marketing of these guys with a more critical eye.
Well you can report them to the Better Business Bureau. Also, the fact that they made a ‘cure’ claim was against the law. I think maybe the FDA could be a place to call and find out more info. This is a tricky one because the FDA also makes it harder for good products to be marketed to the public. It is your call. Just do some research.
I really think however, that just starting a facebook page, which is super easy, calling for a Boycott on The Raw Food World because of ethical issues will get their attention. You will have to talk it about it as many forums as you can and urge victims to get on FB and talk about what they experienced, just like on this site. If you get enough people, you can discuss a class action law suit. That is the only way to get Matt Monarch will do anything else IMO. It could prove to be a very empowering experience for you!!!
Berry,
I need to take some time away from this site for a few days. I have other things to focus on and it can be rather emotionally draining for me to focus on how all these people are doing natural wellness a disservice, although I learn so much from it as well.
Please email me at happyhiker20@yahoo.com if you have any questions just for me. I have to control where I put my time. :)
I had to make this post.So Matt can not ‘afford’ to give people back their money he promised, but he can afford to make donations?? This guy is a more of a tool than I originally thought.
http://www.therawfoodworld.com/blog/?p=3290
While this seems like a worthy product, I am not so sure that it is the best use of 60k right now. Plus, a lot of these poor kids need high quality meat and fish as well as good fruits and veggies. This guy that is making this film has not been on the diet long enough to see how well it serves him over the long haul.
Psychopaths like Matt Monarch also use ’causes’ to try and make themselves look good. I think Freelee and Harley do this as well with the animal rights cause. It is all manipulation for self-serving purposes.

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!!!!
Here is a very interesting video response from the broker that introduced Matt Monarch to Adya Clarity. I like the calm way he is presenting his side of the story. The one thing to note in the research that I have come across, it that your average clay product on the market, which Matt and Mike continue to sell, also contains high Aluminum Sulfate. I am posting all this info so you can see the debate and educational material and decide for yourself what you think.
I remember that this same thing happened with bentonite clay in the mid 90′s.
Statement from Matt Bakos:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/4/prweb9440126.htm
Monarch claims in these articles that he “followed through with all of these thousands of refunds, because (they) felt it was the ethical thing to do…”
However, if consumers have a valid refund claim and have not received a full refund from RFW as promised, they are urged to contact Adya immediately at info(at)adyawater(dot)com.
Shelly Washington D.C. is the capital of Israel. The MOSSAD and the CIA are totally responsible for 9-11. I was at work Inside building 424 W 33rd St. in NYC on the day of the event.
This was clearly an inside job! A false flag operation! The Buildings were brought down by control demolition. Building 7 wasn’t hit by a plane–yet it fell into it’s own foot print demolition style.The CIA is behind the creation of Al Qaeda. Larry Silverstein, a Zionist Jew, and owner of the Twin Towers is on record saying that they decided to “PULL” building 7. “Pull” is a term used in the controlled demolition business.
There was a lot of money to be made; but most importantly laws needed to be passed to strip away the freedoms of the American people. How do you implement these laws? You create false flag attacks. This has been done through out history. Pin the attack on a country, on a fictitious enemy, get the people behind the government, and the ultimate goal is to engage in war. Also known as problem, reaction, solution. The war on terror is a LIE. The U.S. Government is having a ball terrorizing its own people.
Mark Owen, not his real name, the Navy Seal, was allowed to come out with his book, on the 11th anniversary of 9-11, and just in time for Obama’s re-election campaign–how convenient. For those that believe that Osama was buried in the ocean, find me a raw food guru that doesn’t eat cooked food.
Many law abiding citizens, who fear critical thinking, literally replaced their Bibles for The 9-11 commission report? They replace one book of fairy tales for another? The Patriot Act was passed for loyalist who fear questioning the official story of not only 9-11, and what ever else the government conditions them to believe. These are the same people that run off to get flu shots because they think that the government has their health in their best interest?
I did not eat paint chips as a child, but you can bet that I consume lots of spoiled water–you know from the supply that the government poisons with one of the most toxic chemicals known to man; with the chemical that was use to create the atomic bomb known as fluoride. When I see people waving the American flag, to show strong support for their government I laugh and think about CHEM-TRAILS, the NDAA, ASPARTAME, THE FEDERAL RESERVE, The MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, OPERATION FAST AND FURIOUS and all the lies that the government has used to get us into wars through out history. I could go on and on.
Here’s Hilary Clinton essentially revealing who’s responsible for creating Al Qaeda. She keeps opening her big mouth and she’s going to die Andrew Breitbart fashion.
you have to read / study Matt Bakos and read the origins in Adya …
Matt wanted to buy his company and did a great deal to get it but Bakos did not gave in , even though having promised big bucks…. he had signed and promised his japanese Partner (cant remember the name, but the creator behind ADYA) to be ethical and not sell it out…
Matt and Mike both engaged in the battle to ruin Adyas product…
Indeed Matt warned Bakos that someone was going to soon attack him and he said he would no deal with Quintessentials (company) new product (which works similar as Adya)….
I think this is where GREED gets you…
I dunno trust Monarchs… neither Mike Adams…
And yes its true they still sell (NaturalHealthRanger) a product that contains high amounts in the same minerals…
ROLLING EYES
I do not think it is a big secret that our government created Al Qaeda to fight the Russians, however it is just not widely understood.
If you study psychopathology, you will begin to understand that the cream does not rise to the top, the morally insane do. The world is run by psychopaths. Yes, even in do gooder non profits. I certainly do not support most of the mainstream non profits, like for cancer because I know that the money is not really going towards a cure and it is just used for political purposes.
If this is true, why is Alex Jones still living life? For that matter, why is Mike Adams still here?

I post it here too:
California Judge Gives Adya Inc. a Slam Dunk in the Case Against The Raw Food World Store
Over the past couple of weeks I have been in the process of composing a multi-part article addressing the reality that the truth movement itself is just another psychological operation being carried out by the dark and sinister cabal that has for a very long time controlled the world to the detriment of the vast majority of the human race.
When I began this little journey I did so upon discovering that three of the “news reports” that have recently been heavily featured by both Mike Adams and Alex Jones were in fact complete and utter fabrications, those being the report about the supposed federal raid on a Mormon cannery in the state of Tennessee, the report in reference to the feral pig issues in the state of Michigan, and the report that referenced the case of a raw milk farmer in the state of California. Having done the research needed to fully verify that all three of these stories were either completely fabricated, as with the reports that originated in both Michigan and Tennessee, or just a bunch of fabricated nonsense that they had illegitimately attached to a very real arrest, as with the raw milk story out of California, I must say that at the onset of this journey I proceeded with complete confidence that at the very least I would ultimately be able to establish that most, if not all, of the civilly salacious reports that issue from them are in fact absolutely and utterly fictitious.
What if it turned out, I thought, that the stories about such things as HAARP, FEMA camps, and vaccine conspiracies were entirely fictitious as well, or at least tremendously exaggerated? What exactly would that mean?
Sadly, I have only ascertained that even if they are not being truthful about anything else, the cointel “alternative” media is at least being partially forthcoming in reference to the major conspiracies of our time, which include such things as fluoride, chemtrails, weather modification, and false flag terrorist attacks, in that they do at least acknowledge that they exist. But their attacks on such citizen owned companies as Adya, Inc. (Adya is not the first) bespeak an agenda that directly correlates to the elite plans for depopulation. Because the fact that they have engaged in a concerted effort to utterly destroy our ability to obtain a product that is the only one on the planet with the ability to completely remove all heavy metals and their by-products from our drinking water, as well as all the other harmful things that can be found in water, in addition to providing the human body with life sustaining ionic sulfate minerals, can lead one to no other conclusion, especially in a world tottering on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe either as a result of war or as a consequence of old and failing reactors around the world, as reported by Finnish scientist Arto Lauri, a former employee at the Finnish nuclear facility in Olkiluoto, who incidentally was dismissed from his job after becoming an anti-nuclear activist after witnessing dozens and dozens of his colleagues die from various forms of cancer.
If nothing else they are guilty of attempting to destroy our ability to obtain the one product that alone and very quickly repairs all the damage done by the decades of chemical warfare they have carried out against we the people via such things as fluoride and vaccine poisoning, not to mention the possible exposure to radiation currently hitting dangerous levels in various parts of the country as a consequence of leaks at nuclear power plants in conjunction with massive amounts of nuclear waste just sitting around awaiting the day of “disposal,” a fact that is being covered up by both the MSM and the cointel alternative media sources. And if not for the intestinal and mental fortitude of the owners of Adya, Inc., in conjunction with their sincere belief that what they have to offer humanity can ultimately save us all in terms of the damage done both to ourselves and our environment, they might have gotten away with it. But sometimes things happen in just such a way that one cannot help but believe that some sort of divine providence must at least play a partial role.
I have spent weeks investigating the hatchet job done on Adya Inc. by Matt Monarch and Mike Adams, and on Wednesday, June 20, a judge in a California courtroom was nice enough to give me a slam dunk in terms of burying these two individuals completely beneath their own web of lies and deceit, taking with them another individual by the name of Ian Clark. That decision on the part of that particular judge has finally given my source for the Adya Clarity story, Matthew Bakos, the confidence that he needed to take these cointel operatives on publicly, and I am now able to finally delve into the full story behind the fiasco initiated by a morally corrupt group of people willing to resort to just about anything to serve the agenda of their Illuminati masters of the NWO.
And for the reader to understand the importance of the latest decision in the ongoing case between Adya Inc. and The Raw Food Word Store, it is important that they know the true story behind all of it, because what has been released to the public as fact by Natural News and the Raw Food World Store has contained not one iota of truth, and yet the sheeple referring to themselves as “truthers” have taken the bait hook, line, and sinker, which lends a considerable amount of credence to my repeated contention that those involved in what is generally referred to as the “truth movement” are essentially delusional if they genuinely believe they are any more “awakened” than the rest of the sheeple still watching reruns of Seinfeld for entertainment and CNN or FOX for news.
The only “awakening” they have done is to wake up into the paradigm the NWO already had set and waiting for them, and the popularity of such sinister individuals as Mike Adams, Matt Monarch, and Alex Jones is certainly evidence enough of that. The overt and blatant attempt to destroy the Adya company because it refused to sell out and the subsequent efforts to replace it with a product that echoes with Soylent Green overtones should not go unnoticed, and the truth behind what they have done should destroy any last vestige of credibility these people have left.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the name “Matt Monarch” it is probably best that I clarify who that individual is. Monarch and his wife are, according to Monarch himself, the sole proprietors and owners of The Raw Food World Store, an online natural health food store, the largest, in fact. This particular company is joined at the hip with Natural News.com, as it is their only shipper. The two internet companies also advertise, sell, and endorse the same products in tandem, and both were principle participants in the hatchet job done on Adya, Inc., along with another notable individual by the name of Ian Clark, who we will also look at in this analysis. Matt Monarch’s involvement with the product referred to as Adya Clarity began approximately two years ago.
Upon his discovery of Adya he dubbed it “the best product in the universe,” which arguably it is, but the point is that those are his words, not mine, and it is important to remember them as we go along, because at bottom, the attempted destruction of this particular company was just another in a long line of citizen owned companies destroyed by these NWO operatives when they refuse to sell out, only to be subsequently replaced by what can only be referred to as “big brother” companies via their endorsement on such sites as naturalnews.com and therawfoodworldstore.com. This time it appears bound to be an epic fail, and we had all better hope that it is, because Adya Clarity, as far as I can tell, is the one thing that alone can undo ALL of the damage they have done to us as a consequence of their chemical assault upon us that has gone on for decades, particularly via the water that we drink.
Matt Monarch formerly worked for the cable television channel MTV, until what he describes as an overnight metamorphosis in which he suddenly decided to adopt a completely raw vegan diet, left MTV, and burst up on the scene as a self-appointed guru in terms of natural health and owner of the “world’s largest online natural health food” source, The Raw Food World Store. He and his wife operate their business out of Equador, where he owns 800 acres tended by maids and gardeners, which he bought with the at least 6 or 7 million in profit he made selling Adya Clarity.
Adya Clarity first burst upon the American scene as a result of the hard work of the owner of the company in America, Matthew Bakos, and his wife, as they travelled around the country attending health expos to introduce the product to the U.S. market. In 2009 at a Health Expo in Chicago, Bakos was approached by one Dr. John Gray, author of the book “Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus,” and they engaged in a conversation during which Dr. Gray learned about Adya and took some of it for himself.
Not too long afterward John Gray gave a public speech, as he often does, being a public figure, but this particular time he punctuated the end of the speech by holding up a bottle of Adya, which had nothing to do with the reason for his being there, and proceeded to inform his audience as to the wonderful nature of these ionic sulfate minerals in liquid form, and encouraged all of them to use it. That was done of his own volition, as neither the owner of Adya Inc. nor his wife had any subsequent contact with Mr. Gray following the Chicago Health Expo. That got the attention of another individual by the name of Ian Clark, who also happened to be present, and via Clark it got the attention of Matt Monarch. They seemed, however, to subsequently overlook the fact that Adya Inc. was owned by one Matthew Bakos, although they had no qualms about selling and distributing his product as far and wide as possible for substantial profits.
Upon agreeing to allow Ian Clark to market the product, Adya, Inc. had given him (Clark) exclusive rights to the Canadian market, which he ultimately violated by marketing and shipping to various other countries. However, in June of 2010 the owners of the small but steadily growing Adya, Inc. attended something referred to as The Raw Spirit Festival in Tucson, Arisona, and this time their expo table was approached by multiple people who came specifically because they had heard that the owner of Adya was there and wanted to meet him, as the benefits and potential of Adya Clarity had become something of a phenomenon, deservedly so, and people simply wanted to meet the man responsible for bringing this wonderful product to the natural health market.
The problem was, however, that the people who approached in search of the owner of Adya were suffering from the misconception that Ian Clark was the owner of Adya, because following the discovery of Adya by this man, he had begun masquerading as the owner of the company responsible for the product itself. All of this was unbeknownst to the actual owners of the company, who got quite the surprise when multiple people began approaching their expo table in search of Ian Clark, the “owner,” or so they thought, of Adya Inc. Imagine that. You show up at a public exposition trying to establish an extremely promising young business only to find out that another individual has been presenting himself publicly as the owner of your company. That would be the end of Ian Clark and his association with Adya, Inc.
The Adya owners did, however, decide to go ahead and continue to have a business relationship with his “associate,” for lack of a better term, Matt Monarch, and trusted him (Monarch) to do the right thing upon allowing him to become closely associated with the company. They would ultimately pay a very high price for that generosity, as Monarch, working in conjunction with Adams and all of their other associates, from the “Health Renegade,” a.k.a. Kevin Gianni, to the “Health Watchmaan,” a.k.a. Paul Mason, eventually turned on the flourishing young company like a den of vipers for no valid reason whatsoever, and then proceeded to engage in a full-frontal assault to destroy the reputation and success of something the owners of Adya, Inc. have put everything into because they believe in it.
That is it in the proverbial nutshell in terms of exactly what these individuals did to Matthew Bakos and his fledgling company.
What followed the discovery of Adya Clarity by these individuals who are so prominent in the field of natural health was a whirlwind of success for the owners of Adya Inc, working seemingly in conjunction with these people to serve the greater good of humanity, and with a product that arguably has more of a potential to do so than any other. They had no idea that the agenda of these men serves what we generally refer to as the NWO, and that the choice they would ultimately be left with would be one of play the NWO game or disappear into oblivion after being crushed illegitimately. The chose neither.
Prior to Ian Clark’s violation of the aforementioned contract and the subsequent campaign of defamation carried out against the company itself on the part of Monarch, Clark, Adams, et.al., Monarch and many other notable names in the natural health industry could not find words strong enough to express their appreciation and awe of the substance known as Adya Clarity, and it is interesting to note that the vast majority of that damning evidence has been completely and utterly scrubbed from the internet, which should also be another indication as to the strength of their ties to whoever is ultimately in control at the top.
They mistakenly thought they could deceive the world and simply bury this company via a mountain of falsified, negative publicity. They failed to take note of the fact that Adya has the truth on its side, and an owner who sincerely believes that his product is the only thing that will save us after the elite of the world have fully implemented the destructive plans they have for the planet and its citizens. And given the desperate measures they went to in an effort to ensure that the company and the product disappeared into falsified news oblivion in conjunction with my own personal experience with it, I would have to say that it is likely he is right about that.
Following the promotion of the product by these prominent so called “health advocates,” Adya exploded in popularity, and was given rave reviews by many of the “notables” in the natural Health industry. It was so popular and well received that by September of 2011 Matt Monarch sent an e-mail to Matthew Bakos requesting that he (Bakos) “send as much as humanly possible,” a request which Adya immediately set out to accommodate.
Adya was then and always has been advertised and sold as a water purification treatment, in spite of another lie on the part of Mike Adams that it had been marketed as a dietary supplement, and as such many of those people involved in the “truth” movement were insisting that it was the most essential product one could have in stock in terms of prepping for hard times, as laboratory testing has proven conclusively that it is essentially the only product on the face of the planet that removes ALL heavy metals AND their by-products from water as well as rendering them inert, even if it is contaminated with radiation, in addition to completely re-structuring the water itself and imbuing it with all the minerals provided by the earth in their proper forms for the maintenance of human health, and it doesn’t even matter if the water you start with is raw sewage, which presents no problem for this ionic sulfate mineral solution. It removes and renders inert as well harmful bacteria and the VOCs currently invading our environment as a result of all the fracking for natural gas. And that is nothing short of miraculous.
But in a world in which the elite, if we are to believe what we hear in terms of the depopulation agenda, and the evidence is there to support the contention, have plans looming just over the horizon to eliminate the vast, vast majority of us, such a product cannot be allowed to flourish and become widely used, because by its very nature it prevents them from accomplishing that goal. And thus the full frontal assault upon Adya Inc. when its owner refused to sell out his relationship with the inventor of the product itself, Dr. Asao Shimanishi, who suffered the same fate at the hands of NWO forces in Japan in the 1980s and nonetheless survived. In Bakos’ own words, that relationship is not for sale and will not be betrayed, no matter how many times they offer him millions of dollars.
In October of 2011, approximately one week before Mike Adams brought the proverbial hammer down on Adya Clarity by publishing an article which he touted as a “consumer alert” in reference to the product and in which he claimed, among other things, that the product had been imported as battery acid and then re-sold for internal consumption to the American public, neither of which was even remotely true, Adya owner Matthew Bakos received an e-mail from Matt Monarch in which Monarch specifically told him (Bakos) that “Quintessentials,” another natural health company, was jealous and were going to do a smear campaign to take down Adya” and replace it with a product made from marine phytoplankton, a product now being sold by Natural News, The Raw Food World Store, Ian Clark, and many, many other natural health companies.
And although they have introduced several different brands of this product publicly, none of those variations of that marine phytoplankton they have used to supplant Adya Clarity are capable of water purification, and are not even used as such. Interestingly enough, the article defaming Adya Clarity on grounds that were absolutely fabricated itself came on the heels of Adams’ associate Matt Monarch’s failed attempt to convince Matthew Bakos to sell him (Monarch) the company and thus betray his commitment to and relationship with Asao Shimanishi.
That rejection was almost immediately followed by the first Adams article in Natural News demonizing Adya Clarity, and that was the beginning of the flood of lies that have spewed forth from this NWO gimp since that very day. Once again Adams has been able to successfully mislead vast numbers of people via a completely fictitious article that actually included the links to the very documents that prove him to be a liar, just as he did recently in the purely fabricated story in reference to the feral pig “situation” in Michigan.
During the months of fawning over Adya on the part of Ian Clark, and Matt Monarch, there were various indications that they wanted at the very least to fully control the company and its product if they were unable to purchase it outright. At one point during a telephone conversation between Matt Bakos and Ian Clark, Clark informed Bakos that “we,” speaking in reference to the people conducting the business of buying, distributing, and selling Adya Clarity, “need to keep you a secret,” essentially indicating that they would prefer that there be no public connection between the actual owner of the company and the product it produced, nor any public knowledge that he even existed, for whatever reason.
They took their subterfuge to a completely different level, however, when they consulted FDA attorneys on illegitimate grounds in order to give themselves the opportunity to claim that there was an FDA investigation into the product Adya Clarity, which there absolutely was not, and if it does not raise a red flag that the very individual who purports to stand in opposition to the FDA on behalf of we the people, Mike Adams, utilizes that governmental department in his efforts to dismantle legitimate, viable, citizen owned companies, as he continues to do in his ongoing defamation campaign against Adya Inc., nothing will.
Upon the involvement of the FDA at the behest of Monarch and associates it was determined by that government entity that Adya was not labeled incorrectly, as it is and always has been advertised and labeled as a water purification treatment, in spite of the lies on the part of Mike Adams that it has been “fraudulently marketed” as a dietary supplement. In an article he published via Natural News on May 29, 2012, which, interestingly enough, was three days after I published my first article in reference to the unwarranted and unjustified demonization of Adya Clarity, Adams made numerous false claims in reference to both the product itself and the FDA findings.
For one thing, he states that the raw material that the Adya product is extracted from is “mined out of the ground near Fukushima, Japan,” and we are all by now familiar with that name and the event that occurred there. But the fact is that this statement is just another in his never ending string of lies, as Phemarox is mined out of Mt. Fiji in Japan, which is part of the western half of the country, and is separated by an immense mountain range from the eastern side, which means, given the direction we all know the wind blows, they would likely be one of the last places in the world to experience any sort of fallout from the Fukushima disaster. If you don’t believe me, get a map. It is an easily verifiable fact. And that is not to mention the fact that there are growing indications that the radiation scare that has resulted as a consequence of the Fukushima incident may itself be just another psy op to cover up some very real radiation that is leaking from reactors around the world.
Another lie that Adams is choosing to maintain as of May 29th, 2012, in spite of the evidence at hand to prove he is a liar, is the contention that Adya is under investigation by the FDA. Nothing could be further from the truth. After the initial examination of the label at the behest of Monarch and his cronies in relation to the product, that was the end of it, as the FDA found that if, and only if, the product had ever been marketed for human consumption, which it was not, then the label would have been at least partially incorrect, which it was not.
Adams has also asserted that Adya was cited by the FDA and that the FDA found the aluminum content in the product to be “high,” neither of which is true. And as if that were not enough, in one of his completely fabricated articles demonizing Adya, Inc., Mike Adams included a link to the FDA that was accompanied by instructions to the public to demand that Adya be tested for toxic metals, thus giving himself the opportunity to say that the FDA was “testing Adya Clarity for toxic metals” when in fact that only occurred because of his shenanigans, and ultimately cleared Adya of everything he had accused them of. Nothing, and I mean nothing, that Mike Adams has reported about Adya Inc. and their amazing product has been true.
It is interesting to note that Mike Adams did not choose to become involved in all of this until his associate Matt Monarch failed to obtain the company from the people who own it, and he first did so via a phone call to Matthew Bakos himself. That phone call came about after an initial phone call from Matt Monarch to Bakos following the publication of Adams’ article on Oct. 27, 2011, in which he demonized Adya Clarity by making numerous false claims in reference to both the product and the owner of the company.
The phone call from Monarch to Bakos was a trap laid for and unsuspecting victim (Bakos), because it was very short and to the point, and consisted of Monarch asking Bakos if he would be willing to make some “label changes,” although he did not specify what changes in particular he was referring to. Bakos, however, not realizing they were baiting him, simply said, “Sure, no problem.” The very next day the Natural News headline proclaimed that Adya Clarity had agreed to undergo numerous label changes, the most significant of which was that it would be labeled not safe for human consumption, none of which was true, and which Matthew Bakos, of course, refused to do, because, as those of us who have experience using this product know, up to and including my pet pig, who appeared to be near death two days ago until I treated him with the Adya minerals and is now back to his usual self, the product is not only perfectly safe for human consumption, but is in fact the most health restoring substance we have ever encountered. When that did not work, Adams decided to step in personally.
Mike Adams, upon making that phone call to Matthew Bakos, informed Bakos immediately that he was tape recording the conversation. That recorded conversation has never been publicly released, and it never will be, because if it were the public would know once and for all that Mike Adams is a bald faced liar, and the tone he took in that conversation, which consisted mostly of yelling, would portray him in light of what he really is, as opposed to the façade presented by his public persona. Throughout the entire conversation Bakos was given the opportunity to say very little, as Adams’ just repeatedly made false accusations and yelled the phrase “You’re a liar” at him.
Following that conversation Adams would come away with yet another lie in reference to the conversation itself, as he has asserted in published articles that Bakos told him that the reason he had not included the aluminum content in the labeling of the product was because he “didn’t want to.” And that is a complete and utter lie, because when asked why the aluminum content was not included on the label Bakos replied that it was because he “did not have too,” meaning that the aluminum in the product is there in such trace amounts that the law does not require that it be included on the label.
Never mind the fact that the aluminum content in this ionic mineral substance that is Adya Clarity is in its purest and most proper form as the earth gives it, and is essential to the human body in that it is what allows your gastrointestinal tract to function. Betchya didn’t know that, now did ya? And the best part about all the fuss over a trace aluminum content in Adya Clarity that can be scientifically proven to be necessary and beneficial to the human body is that it leaves Mike Adams wide open to an indictment in terms of the SOLID aluminum content in the products he endorses and sells on Natural News.
One can log onto the NaturalNews.com Store and enter the words “bentonite clay baths” and you will find that product for sale there at a price of $44 for a 64oz container. The descriptions of the product read as follows:
“Bentonite Clay Baths and Topical Applications have been used since ancient times to detoxify our skin by pulling toxic substances and metals out through the pores of our body’s largest organ.
Clay Baths are also a wonderful way to complement the exfoliation of our skin. Simply add to a warm bath, then settle in for a truly luxurious experience. You’ll feel rejuvenated and your skin will thank you!”
Given his attack upon Adya Clarity on the grounds that it contained aluminum it must be assumed that Adams, a self-declared “health advocate,” has absolutely no concept of what clay is actually made of, because if he did he would know that it does not behoove him to attack anyone else on those grounds, as the clay bath product that he is selling essentially consists of HYDRATED SILICATES OF ALUMINUM. That is what clay is made of, and there is no getting around that fact.
Nonetheless, there seem to be few among us with the good sense to do our own research and come up with the truth, and as a consequence Mike Adams has once again managed to manipulate virtually the entirety of the natural health industry, because, in spite of what the nouveau so called “enlightened” and “awakened” among us believe to be true, they are still fast asleep, or at the very least are being manipulated in a state that is somewhat similar to a lucid dream, and they need to wake the hell up. And fast. Because until they genuinely do “wake up,” our chances of coming out ahead in all of this are going to continue to diminish, and people of the Matt Monarch and Mike Adams ilk are going to continue to be successful in their underhanded and malicious schemes.
This time, however, as of Wednesday, June 20, all their conspiratorial subterfuge may have been for naught, as a judge in California had the good sense to see through their latest ploy and ruled against them in favor of Adya, Inc. in reference to the question of a bond.
The attorneys representing Matt Monarch recently submitted a motion to require Adya, Inc. to purchase a $200,000 bond to cover the cost of the lawsuit should he (Monarch) win the lawsuit, which was something that Adya, Inc. simply could not afford to do as a result of the purposeful and malicious destruction of the company at the hands of Monarch and associates, which was exactly how they (Monarch and associates) intended for it to be. Had the judge found in Monarch’s favor upon reviewing the motion, the owners of Adya, Inc. would not have been able to afford to go forth with it at that price.
It is important to note as well that Adya, Inc. is the one suing Monarch and not the other way around, as Mike Adams so blatantly and dishonestly claimed in an article published in NaturalNews on Tuesday, April 24, 2012. The attorney for Adya, Inc. contended that his client should not be required to purchase the bond, as well he should have, as his side is the only one with genuine truth as its foundation. The judge agreed, and that essentially leaves Monarch in danger of facing a verdict that orders him to pay the $180,000 dollars he owes Adya, Inc. for product that he had shipped to his business and agreed to pay for prior to his intentional attempted dismantling of the company that produces it based upon fabricated, misleading, and utterly malicious lies, which he has heretofore refused to pay for.
Not only has Monarch refused to pay for $180,000 dollars in product he previously agreed to pay for, he actually uses as grounds for his refusal to pay the very illegitimate fruits spawned as a result of the shenanigans of himself, Ian Clark, and Mike Adams. But, as a result of the judge’s decision, if he chooses to go forth, he now finds himself in danger of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lawsuit that he will most assuredly lose if it is carried out in a fair and judicious court room simply based upon the facts. And it is a lawsuit he could essentially make disappear if he would simply pay what he owes.
That, however, would do nothing to alleviate the potential damages he would face if he lost in the other suit filed against him for defamation on behalf of Adya, Inc., which he will definitely do in a fair and impartial courtroom that makes decisions based solely on the facts, and I for one would like to see Monarch and all of his assets owned by Adya, Inc. in the very near future. There is no question that he deserves it, and so do they, as recompense for the damage he has done, for which there is really no logical explanation. The same applies to Mike Adams, and I am quite certain that he would be in the midst of a similar lawsuit on behalf of Adya Inc. if all of his assets were not based in Taiwan, which makes it very difficult to sue him.
I find it very odd that Ian Clark and Mike Adams are claiming that the people that took Adya are having mental issues due to the ‘heavy metal poisoning”. Hmm, they also claim it is very dangerous for pregnant women. Well, Matt and Angela were downing the stuff for a few years, even when she was pregnant. Do they seem anymore mentally off than they were before they started taking Adya? Also, Oria seems to be doing fine as well.
The one thing I want to know is, who set the extreme high retail price for this product?? The wholesale price of $15 per 32oz bottle is standard for the mineral market. I just do not understand they Adya would allow their retailers to make such a huge profit off of their product unless they were naive, as this could be the case. Also, Matt was making millions off of Adya, way more than Adya and Matt Bakos, so it makes NO sense why Matt would not pay for the product upon shipment and to run a credit line with Adya. Again, Matt Bakos was really naive on this one. Geesh.
If you look at the court docs that Adya filed against RFW, it appears the Matt had product returned to the company after Mike published the article, which leads me to believe that Matt was not made aware of it until it was made public.
It’s hard to tell when kids have been affected my heavy metals until they’re older. Jury still out on it imo- but it’s akin to taking MMS when you’re pregnant (a big duh). Sometimes I cannot fathom how stupid people are(the Monarchs). Even the majority of the *food based* prenatal vitamins were found to be full of heavy metals and lead.
Here is the link to the court docs filed by Adya:
http://adyawater.com/pdf/Adya%20Clarity%20vs%20Raw%20Food%20World%20Complaint.pdf
They state here that Matt did buy the 700 acres in Ecuador that he made a video about. I assume they did their homework and made sure this transaction took place? If this is true and Matt and Angela are not giving people refunds, then this is beyond the pale.
One of the reasons I think that Matt married Angela was because she would be good for his business, is because every part of their relationship has been monetized. Their wedding was made into a raw event whereby they charged people, they even made an e-book with recipes from their wedding food and are selling it, they made an e-book concerning Oria’s gestation and birth, so forth and so on. It takes a particular kind of person to put so much of their life online like they have. I mean, showing the placenta and Oria nursing up close so much you can see Angela’s nipple? That is just too much IMO. They basically have a reality show on YouTube of their lives and we all know what that does to most people in the long run. It makes sense considering Matt worked for MTV before he started RFW. Most people that are on YT in a heavy way like that always wanted fame and YT makes that fame easy to get now. LOL.
Yeah, they have capitalized on their life bigtime. Whole thing is absurd, my parenting friends and I were having UC’s (unassisted births) eating our placentas and what have you over 20 years ago. None of us made videos about it………..or books……..ugh.
As far as I understand it, trance mineral complexes always contain these heavy metals. They are always in the 70-92 trance mineral complex. The issue with Adya, is that it is an extract, so I would need to do some more calling around to figure out what that means really.
Someone wrote on Amazon on one of the Adya reviews that the Monarchs reminded her of the movie, The Joneses. It is a story about a fake family that is created to market products that support a lifestyle and how it can negatively influence those around them. LOL. Demi Moore is in that movie. It is a dark comedy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joneses
I can relate to this, but although this natural lifestyle is supposed to be, like, more gentle or whatever, it can be very expensive. I certainly have wasted many dollars on stuff that did not really help me, when I could have done many other things with it that would have been better for myself.
It’s totally spot on!
The Monarchs do a few other things that make me cringe. First, why the hell do they have to say their full names in every flippin’ video? It is not like we do not know who the heck they are by now!
Secondly, the way that Matt strokes Angela’s ego by calling her beautiful or ‘pretty’ goddess or princess is so fake. I do not think Angela had many boyfriends before Matt because she was so heavy and sickly, so I think she was naive when it came to the ways of many men. My goodness how he stroked her ego to suck her in! Manipulators are so good at this and what happens is that they make you feel a certain way and you get very emotional attached to them because of the feelings they stir up in you. This gives them some emotional control over the target. After they have you where they want you, often they start to mix it up with abusive behavior and that really throws the target off base and as the abuse escalates, it often results in destabilizing the target. Men that harbor a secret fear of women will often do this to women in their adulthood and this makes them feel powerful.
If Matt really fears women, it makes me wonder what happened to him that made him this way?
In many of their videos Angela does this very strange behavior. First, I can not stand her baby talk. But, the behavior that comes to mind is that she would often blow raspberries with her lips like a monkey would do when he thinks something is silly. I often took this as a sign that she really did not agree with the stupid shit Matt was saying. She did this a lot too.
Yeah – I would agree- she is infantile and he is just deluded. Whole thing is like some weird acid trip- I could never stand to watch the videos. Harley is more mature than those two.

From time to time, I visited Angela’s Raw Reform site to see what she had consumed for the day. I didn’t have to do that considering that I was on her e-mail list. Correct me if I’m wrong, but she never kept a record of her daily use of Aday Clarity the way she did with everything else that she ate.
Do you guys remember the videos where everytime Matt reach over to kiss Angela she would pull away? People began making comments on these videos asking Matt about why Angela Pulls away. He went as far as making an answer video to squash this matter with the viewers, and to prove that He and Angela are still madly in love. I’m trying to find that particular video.
Here’s one of the videos where Angela pulls away. It happens in the very beginning of the vid.
“If Matt really fears women, it makes me wonder what happened to him that made him this way?”
In this video he goes into, “his crazy issues around women.”
That was me
. It was wierd how similar the Monarchs were to the characters in that movie. may be they were inspired by it.
Regarding Ian, i wonder how he treated his customers after he found out what he had been involved in….he says he is embarrassed to have been part of it… Did he refund his customers ? did he write an apology note to them? or is he basking on all the profits he made and moving on by blaming someone else for what happened…
Matt is insane. In the first video he talks about being ‘wasted’ from taking two sips of alcohol? Come on. Really? Even if that were true, who the hell would want to make themselves that sensitive?
To me that means he is not well.
I want to make my system function normally and that means I can drink a beer or a glass of wine and do just fine. Geesh.
Yeah, she does pull away from him in that video. Haha! I would too. He is gross. Big Ick factor with that nappy hair. Not sexy, ok?
Also, one would assume since Ian Clark was a bigtime broker for Adya, he was also consuming the magic potion. He claims that people are acting all crazy now because of it. He seems to be as lucid as one person can be in his video. Kinda makes you go, Hmmm? What is up with these peoples?
Haha. That is so cool that you wrote that review about them Berry! Right on!!
Hey contact Adya and tell them you did not get your refund from Monarch and see how they respond. I would be very interested to know.
Wow, in the second video at 3:58 she literally takes his thumb and gently pushes his arm off of her.
The way a man puts his arm around a woman is very telling. I have never liked the way he just drapes his skinny arm over her, instead of a gentle embrace. He drapes, not embrace.
I have a slow connection, so the videos stop a lot and that allows me to see a lot of quick body language. It is fascinating. I can only imagine how he will shit when he sees this thread. LOL! Gosh, I would love to be a fly on the wall when that happens.
I also dislike that way they like to yell, “WHEEU! when they are promoting something like they are at a carnival. Like everything will be a party in your tummy.
That is interesting Jabo.

Interesting article
AncestralDreams, i did contact both Adya and Adams several months ago and let them know i did NOT get a refund… did NOT get a response from either of them!
Btw, is anyone else experiencing the extreme slowness in loading this page? i can barely load the page and type anything anymore without having to wait a long time… May be all the videos is slowing this page down..
Interesting that you did not get a response from them either. As far as I can tell, all the players in this drama are full of shit. If I were you, I would email Angela on her facebook page and ask her for a refund. She still can afford her maid.
That’s racist.
Do you mean the word, nappy? LOL. How is that so? Please do school me.
Is that your full breast in your avatar? What kind of attention do you seek on here Shelly?? Hmmm?
Whatever is going on with the youtube embeds being busted is helping this page… it is loading super fast now! and i can post more easily…
May be Angela did not want to be sexually explicit in the public video when he came over to kiss her ? or may be he had some bad breath with all that Raw food he was eating that day haha!
I keep humming this song and cant seem to get it out of my head….. may be i am in the process of a creation…. so the lyrics are somewhat like this…..
“We’ve got tips and recipes for Scamming you….. so come and buy some products from us at Super Cost …at the RawScamworld” there i have now officially finished the song…there .. hopefully it will be out of my head …
Awesome Berry. Ya gotta get the frustration out!
Who the hell is 30BS? That person downs all my posts no matter what. Why don’t you post something to tell me why you disagree with my posts so much or do you prefer to hide like that? Why do you support someone that has ripped sick people off so they can live like ‘Raw Monarchs’ in another country?
Berry, Maybe you can start a site like this one concerning just the Raw Food World. Pretty easy to do. We can let everyone know in all the raw forums and see how many people make complaints that they did not get their refunds, while Matt and Angela donate money and have maids and gardeners.
They are misleading many people. Matt and Angela do not even have a basic understanding of science. Very scary what they are doing. Colonics=spiritual enlightenment? Nutty, crazy, insane, kook-talk. Very profitiable however.

This is really scary. After reading in a post above that Matt Monarch is making donations to some charity I had to investigate further.
This is the link: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/blog/?p=3290
The title of the page is called:
Bless the Children Project – Please Read :-)
September 8, 2012 – Posted by MattMonarch
If you scrol down and read about the project you’ll see a video clip posted with the director of Bless the Children Project. Getting the feeling that this guy looks like a total scam, I did a little bit of research on the charity. Come on. Look at the director. Does he look like a guy who genuinely wants to help poor children in Nepal with school desks. Sure, perhaps, but not likely.
Anyway, I googled this project a bit and came up with the following post in a thread that discusses the legitimacy of this charity:
Glad I found this site! I recently found Matt and Angela’s in a quest that most likely brought most everyone else, which is to feel better from one heath concern or another. What I found when reviewing their massive video catalog was nothing short of a lot of self aggrandizing!. I noticed immediately the control he seems to have over her. He seems to have a shark type persona, to her demure, meek demeanor. Poor thing strikes me as one that most likely never had a man give her second look. Then enters the wolf in sheeps clothing.Angela is either an innocent wallflower enjoying her new found success, or is a very good actress attempting to give hurting seekers what they yearn for.
I have noticed a very disturbing trend, in that the internet is plagued by “hucksters” with only one purpose in mind, which is to get rich from the many victims that buy into their game. They appear to be capitalizing on the adage: ……”A fool and his money are soon parted”
All this just makes me go back to what was said to me when I was a young girl…..Money is not the root of all evil in and of itself, but rather the love of it is!
Yeah, I do not see them as role models at all, the opposite in fact. The one thing I noticed recently is that their child really does not come of all that happy or joyful in their videos. I personally find letting your kid pee and poop on the floor and on the side walk in public to be crass and not progressive at all. What is wrong with cloth diapers??
If you are doing elimination communication with your baby and they pee and poop all over you and themselves and you have to change clothes, just seems like using cloth diapers would be so much easier. Not everything about our modern world is a negative. Geesh. If you are living in the bush somewhere in a hut that is a different story.
