David Wolfe (nutritionist)

David 'Avocado' Wolfe is a raw foodist, author, and promoter of superfoods. One of his emphases is the sourcing and production of raw chocolate. He also promotes conservation of rare, heirloom cacao tree varieties, such as Criollo. He has done work in establishing sustainable, organic cacao farms in Ecuador. He is President of the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation.

Wolfe is the author of several books, including Eating for Beauty, Chaga: King of the Medicinal Mushrooms, and Naked Chocolate, which covers the history of chocolate, as well as its claimed potential as a superfood. A raw vegan, Wolfe advocates a diet based on fresh or frozen fruits, seeds, and vegetables. This, he says, is a method of detoxification from symptoms of the Standard American Diet (SAD)

Wolfe has many fans and critics, and believes in alternative medical treatments, such as naturopathy, for cancer and other ailments. In the past, he has promoted infant reflexology, and the use of deer antler as a "cosmic substance".

Beliefs

Wolfe has created some of controversy with his claims and beliefs. He has stated that literally everything we're told is untrue and if we flip it then we get the real truth. His beliefs and theories of science have been met with scrutiny from some people within the scientific community.

Chocolate

Wolfe is especially passionate about chocolate. Wolfe considers cocoa to be a superfood. Wolfe believes that raw cocoa butter is beneficial to human skin, delivering anti-oxidants and vitamins. He has stated that the oils in the butter consist of very small particles that are able to permeate all of the pores in skin.

Wolfe has also stated that "chocolate lines up planetarily with the sun,chocolate is an octave of sun energy. in fact, it's the energy of the center of the sun. It's a male energy that comes down off the sun. Actually, out of all the plants, the cacao is right on line target the center of the sun, which we call, in our body,the heart, and actually cacao is right up with the center of the sun, which is the center of the heart, which is called the sacred heart. So the cacao is hitting the frequency of the sacred heart."

Mushrooms

According to Wolfe mushrooms have an advanced intelligence and consciousness. Mushroom spores can levitate off the planet and are trying to get to the center of the sun. The mushrooms spores came from distant planets carried by cosmic winds into the Earth's atmosphere. The preliminary work develops as the mushroom mycelium sets itself up to network and nourish multi-celled carbohydrate-forming organisms. Also the mushrooms that grow in trees are the medicinal mushrooms.

Salt

Wolfe claims that salt is responsible for holding water onto the earth. "The reason why the oceans are salty is that's what's needed to hold the water onto the Earth. If that didn't happen the water would levitate right off the Earth, that'd be the end of it. The salt holds it on, in the same way it holds it into our body."

Gravity

Wolfe has made many bold claims about gravity and has denied the scientific communities theory of gravity claiming

"Gravity is not intrinsic to matter. That Carl Sagan idea that was sold to us on Cosmos on PBS, was sold to us deliberately to actually confuse us just so you know that. There's people who have known that gravity is a force that can be displaced. There's people that have known that since the 50s or even earlier than that. But by screwing up, confusing our mind about things, and giving us incorrect theories we were brain washed into a totally different belief system. That gravity is intrinsic to all matter, we're fighting gravity, we have to push our way through gravity to launch a craft up into outer space, all this nonsense."

Wolfe's theories on gravity stretch to it being a toxin in the body that causes arthritis. Hanging upside down will turn the toxin into a medicine, and doing so will also solve every spinal problem.

Static electricity

Wolfe claims that static electricity causes the immune system to break down, causing people to get sick during the winter.

Fountain of youth

Wolfe claims that he has discovered the secret of youth and it is deer antler. "Dear [sic] antler is not a product. It's a cosmic substance. And it's an androgenic substance, by the way—very androgenic. And it needs to be taken with respect and understanding, which is why we've been getting into this whole thing about estrogenic forces and then androgenic forces. You gotta know that deer antler is an androgenic force. And why? Because it's cosmic in nature. It's elevating. It's levitational in nature. Which actually makes you younger. The forces of levity make you younger. Rudolf Steiner said that we gradually age due to substances in our body that are seized by the earth's gravity. He could have said anything. He could have said anything at all, but he said that. That's amazing. Then he said that you want to use the force of levity to drive the force of levity into your body. Then he talks about silica, that silica can be made to be levitational again."

Conspiracy theories

Wolfe is known for promoting various conspiracy theories, including:

• GMO – Wolfe claims that genetically modified foods created by big companies such as Monsanto are dangerous and trying to control the world food supply.
• Chemtrails – Wolfe believes that the government are trying to control the population by "spraying" us with chemicals.
• Global Warming – Wolfe denies the facts of climate change stating "Global Warming Is The Greatest And Most Successful Pseudoscientific Fraud In History"
• Anti-Vaccination – Wolfe is opposed to vaccinations claiming that the "vaccines are not safe and that they can injure, permanently maim, or even kill you or a family member. The damage caused by vaccines can no longer be ignored, nor can it be dismissed as a necessary evil."
• Anti-Medication – Wolfe tries to promote fear surrounding large drug companies, referring to them as "big pharma". He instead advocates for people to purchase alternative medicines and "medical foods", stating "the best-kept secret of medicine is that the body heals itself if we create the right condition."
• Human Origins – Wolfe states that humans either crash landed on earth and are from another planet or we are a GMO creation of aliens emanating out of South Africa.
• Flat Earth – David claims that the earth is flat and is not an oblate spheroid as the scientific community claim it to be.
