Whole Health Foundation
Cardiff by the Sea, California,
United States
 Whole Health Foundation is a holistic residential opportunity, one mile from the Pacific Ocean in southern California, 20 miles north of the San Diego airport. We offer a holistic residential opportunity. We also offer the repair and servicing of Norwalk hydraulic press juicers as well as sales of refurbished Norwalk juicers and other new juicers. You can email us for more information. We are all nonsmokers and mostly vegetarian with occasional seafood or poultry preparation. We share a 13-bedroom eight-bath home with a year-round edible organic garden, organic citrus trees, outdoor solar shower, Jacuzzi, sauna, and laundry. We have both filtered and distilled drinking water, whole-house filtration for ideal shower and bathing water, and an air purifier for kitchen and common areas. Our kitchen has a Norwalk juicer, and an Omega 4000 centrifugal juicer and Vitamix. We also have an electric wheatgrass juicer, and food dehydrator. No meat, pork or bacon preparation, or drugs, or alcohol abuse is permitted and strictly enforced.
We occasionally offer community-making workshops, and residential fasting and rejuvenation programs for between $395 and $550 per week, depending on the level of supervision. Short-term visitors are welcome with prior notice for $50 per day and/or work in the organic garden. Longer-term residential housing is available from $650 to $850 per month plus utilities. Also available are cable TV for $10 per month, broadband Internet access for $35 per month, a private phone line is the responsibility of each resident, and we have a house computer for those that sign up for internet access who do not own their own computers. Wireless Internet access is also available for the same $35 per month fee. This residential opportunity is available to provide optimum health support for established vegetarians and others who want to live full-time in a holistic-health-community setting. Most residents have stayed for several years and some for only a few months. Contact William Polowniak at the above address. For information and personal reply, send $5. No dogs allowed. Cats OK. Indoor cats negotiable.
