The reason for doing the work he does is to help people understand that the journey to optimum health must be embraced and the ego released so as not to get trapped in raw food toxification and self poisoning due to an overzealous following of simplistic dogma.
For the general public, he would like to help people make the connection between diet & disease, drugs & symptom suppression, and cleansing & longevity.
By encouraging people to gradually improve their diet to avoid self deprecation just because of difficulties in dealing with cravings, Gil empowers people in the sense that their confidence and belief in the self is nurtured. "Progress not Perfection" is one of the great themes of 12 Step that he uses in transitioning people towards a high vibration diet. Also, the great emphasis on elimination of toxins from the body as the key element in the success level of a lifestyle connects him back to his muse Arnold Ehret.
Gil lives in NYC with his two daughters Jenny and Jady.
