YAY!!!!!!! My Down-under tour was a HUGE success!

I am back home to my quiet little Oregon town after a two month tour of the South Pacific. I have spent the last couple months traveling around Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, and Thailand giving lectures on the importance of  incorporating more greens, green smoothies,  and wild edibles into our diet. The tour was a huge success! I received raving reviews every place that I went.

I must say that my travels have done it again! I am re-inspired  to continue trekking down the path I have chosen. Meeting hundreds of people over the last 60 days and hearing their unique stories of overcoming illnesses is no less inspirational the hundredth time around as it is the first! I am so grateful to all my fans and supporters for their stories that keep me passionate about my line of work!

Sometimes it’s hard for me to believe that a single line  such as “eat more greens,” can have such a profound impact on a person’s life! But it can and does and you are all testament to that!

I have only rested for three days and already I am planning my next tour to the East Coast this June and the Mid-west in July!  A complete schedule coming soon…

Wild edibles often contain more vitamins and minerals than commercially marketed plants. Weeds have not been “spoiled” with farmers’ care in contrast to the “good” plants of the garden. In order to survive in spite of constant weeding, pulling, and spraying, weeds had to develop strong survival properties. For example, in order to stay alive without being watered, most weeds have developed unbelievably long roots. Alfalfa’s roots grow up to 20 feet long reaching for the most fertile layers of the soil. As a result, all wild plants possess more nutrients than commercially grown plants. I feel so silly now when I remember how I used to always pull out the “nasty” lambsquarters from my garden to let my “precious” iceberg lettuce grow.

My name is Sergei Boutenko. When I was only nine years old I was diagnosed with diabetes. My family doctor told my parents I had to go on insulin immediately. My mother (Victoria) opted to search for an alternative to synthetic insulin and accidentally stumbled onto the raw food diet. (more…)
