As far as cost, this might help: http://www.optimumhealth.org/optimum...asttuition.htm

I've never heard of this place, but I do think a more natural diet is healthier overall and raw foods can heal the body. It seems pretty expensive when you can find a lot of that kind of information for free, but perhaps it is the religious aspect of it. It might be also that it helps people because it immerses them into the lifestyle of healthier choices so that they are better able to commit to it afterward. It is time consuming to research and understand information. In that regard, maybe the price is reasonable.

I do agree that healing is a combined thing, dealing with mind, spirit and body. That said, looking through this website made me nervous, but that could be because of religious abuse in my background.

The best thing I can recommend is to listen to your sister without judgment. People are far more likely to open up and share information if they don't feel anyone judging their choices (I'm not saying you are judging her- that was just a general observation that I've found to be true in my own life).

Perhaps if you can get more information from your sister on how she feels about this, you will be able to have some peace or at least know what's going on.

My biggest concern would be the cult-like air about it, however, that could just be from my background as written earlier.

Good luck with all of this. Please keep us posted.
