"Pioneering the Restoration of Paradise, or the original model of Divine Design for man´s life, devoted to keeping of fruit trees, which provide the Living Water of Everlasting Life, giving the Purity, Joy of Living and all the Blessings of God´s Heavenly Kingdom on earth. How the Alchemy of Living Plants, transmuting elements of earth, manifests the Divine Materialization, which with God Consciousness can make our life a true Paradise."  

A great scandal occured with the Windish family when Johnny Lovewisdom was first presented as the Father of the New Age nationwide in Hearst newspapers in the United States in the early 1940's, as being literally the father of a child. When Johnny completely rejected this plan the nationwide newspaper ran the next article as "Disaster in Paradise" all because Johnny did not believe in the Eugenics through physical birth plan.

This was followed by publication on the internet of the "Saint or Madman" article claiming he was emotionally unbalanced and beat his female companion and damaged her teeth which was a complete fabrication based on hearsay but nontheless it was published worldwide on the net. An author of the article has retracted it from the internet and rewrote it without the false claims. 

Another article states Dr. Lovewisdom suffered from vitamin B-12 deficiency giving symptoms of anxiety, chronic fatigue and depression the reason given was a hard core fruitarian diet for which the fruitarian community failed miserable.

There are no problems of B-12, calcium, vitamin D or essential fatty acid deficiency nor tooth decay on a strict fruit diet supplemented with starchless vegetables, e.g. celery, spinach, lettuce and  the vegetable fruits; tomato, cucumber, bell pepper and raw milk yogurt/cottage cheese/sour cream.

The Vitarian Diet developed fully in the 1970's (1975--77) was fruit primarily, supplemented by raw vegetables (some cooked if needed) and raw cultured milk. This is the same diet presented in The Healing God Spell of Saint John which is the complete version of The Essene Gospel of Peace (originally titled The Essene Gospel of John and only gives 7/8ths of the complete version).

Is it natural to depend on expensive supplements of vitamin B-12, calcium, vitamin D and other trace nutrients?

Here are some positive things Johnny did in his lifetime that these critical articles forgot to mention:

The book Spiritualizing Dietetics, Vitarianism is a classic on raw food and the spiritual life. 


When the doctors and professors went to study the centenarians in Vilcabamba they used Dr. Lovewisdom as consultant and guide.


Viktoras Kulvinskas was greatly influenced by Johnny's writings which is very evident in Survival into the 21st century.


Dr. Bernard Jensen highly respected Dr. Johnny Lovewisdom and wrote a forward to his book on Vitalogical Hygiene.


He boldly stated many years ago in the thirties and forties that seeds, nuts, grains and beans are not for human consumption (even sprouted or soaked) and now science is proving him correct.


Johnny is not perfect and makes errors like everyone. Not believing pesticides were harmful was a big mistake. It caused paralysis and destroyed nerve tissue, leaving him unable to walk.


We can all learn from Johnny's mistakes without condemning him as a person. It hurt Johnny when he was 81 to hear of the saint or madman article. I remember the last time I saw him; when I entered the door he flung his arms wide apart and beamed with a big smile. I forgot all about our differences and we talked for hours. This is what it was all about.

Posted on the Lovewisdom group bulletin board :

do you think it would be correct to say that dr lovewisdom must have been doing something wrong in order to lose the will to live and die? and if so? what?
 

response:

I don't know why Johnny died after (a friend) sold his farm with
the intention of helping Johnny build the Camp of Saints, but I
see it as a rebirth and certainly not an end.

Dr. Lovewisdom died at the dawn of the Third Millennium, a very propitious and symbolic time. Dr. Lovewisdom ushered in the New Age, real or symbolic, and then departed.

I would be hard pressed to say that Johnny did something wrong. I
would be just as hard pressed to say that Johnny did no wrong.
Dr. Lovewisdom often wrote about mistakes that he made.

He lived an extraordinary life, and left and extraordinary legacy. His
mistakes are all a part of that. His life is a lesson for us to
learn from, mistakes and all.

If it was time for him to make a transition from this life, and he lost all will to live in preparation to go, than that was no mistake. Dr. Lovewisdom's
spirit lives on.

Dr. Lovewisdom was a real person with real problems, who sought to
overcome the imperfections of humankind. He failed in his
lifetime, but the dream lives on.

His last few words were that, Paradise (and the Camp of Saints) is not a place but rather a state of consciousness, i.e. the spiritual realm or the Immortal Spirit residing in each being.

Thus Paradisian really means one who follows their Immortal Spirit within.
