Are you interested in cleaning up your diet and lifestyle, pursuing a long, healthful existence, and sticking to a 100% live-food vegan diet for more than just a “cleanse”…
— but you have no idea where to begin?
In 2007, Matt Monarch – a young Raw pioneer known for his popular TV show, The Raw Food World – wrote a guide for those seeking to transform their diets (and lives) to balanced health and longevity.
The book, Raw Success, outlines a handful of simple concepts to aid the reader in creating a sustainable 100% Raw Vegan lifestyle. Much of Monarch’s research was based off his educational relationship with Dr. Fred Bisci, a clinical nutritionist, researcher and 40-year Raw Vegan.
Raw Success seeks to answer some of the pressing questions facing raw vegans today, including…
Why aren’t Raw Food Eaters living decades longer than cooked food eaters?
Why are many Raw Foodies experiencing mineral deficiencies?
….and…
WHY do so many Raw Foodies have dental health issues?
Throughout the pages of the book, Monarch scatters a few mainstream concepts for maintaining health and avoiding some of these issues, including:
- Green Juicing (i.e., making fresh, live green vegetable juices in your home… combining ingredients strategically to gain specific effects… and drinking immediately for the best health benefits, as per Dr. Norman Walker’s juicing manuals)
- Colon cleansing (i.e., regular colonics… at home or done by a professional)
- Enzyme therapy (i.e., because we live in an era of depleted soils, we need a little help to maintain our internal enzyme balance and reduce enzyme depletion, which contributes to aging and illness)
But the area in which Raw Success separates itself from many other health, wellness and raw food books is the centerfold, a section entitled “The Science Behind It All“.
In this section, Matt uses a series of graphically-delightful images and a reader-friendly exploration of the cellular science behind why some Raw Foodies succeed in achieving optimal health… and many don’t.
Curious about Matt’s theory and Dr. Bisci’s research? Looking for ways to boost your raw vitality, increase your longevity, and enjoy better health now? Wondering what all this 100% Raw business is about, anyway?

In conclusion, the Diva gives Matt Monarch’s book Raw Success a rating of 3 out of 5 stars… Though it occasionally lacks cohesion in some chapters and parts of the introduction follow rabbit trails, all in all Monarch and the inspirational contributions of his predecessors, Dr. Fred Bisci and Dr. Norman Walker, succeed in presenting a series of methodically-tried and holistically-true plans for creating true Raw Success in our lives.
