Peter grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota and graduated from Reed College in Portland, Oregon in 1968 with a BA degree. He currently lives in Florida with his wife, Marlene, a fabric artist.
He has been a chiropractic clinic director (1994 - 1997), a chelation (alternative medicine) clinic director (1996 - 1997), a contributing editor to an alternative health E-newsletter (2003) as well as founder of High Tech Marketing, Inc., a software company in Burbank, CA in the middle 80's, Massage Marketing, a website company from 2003 - 2006, and president of Axiom, Inc., another software company in Florida. He set up his current website in 2003 and later that year added an Internet bulletin board on the Master Cleanse and raw vegan food to provide more information to others. The bulletin board has since grown to be one of the largest Master Cleanse bulletin boards on the Internet and is routinely visited by more than 1000 people each day.
He wrote and published Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days in 2004 and its second edition in 2005. He released The Lemonade Diet: a Master Cleanse Audio CD in 2005 as well. The first edition was written after he coached 100 people on the Master Cleanse in January 2004 and he saw how many people had questions about the regimen. The book is currently sold in Barnes & Noble, Borders, Waldenbooks, hundreds of other bookstores and health food stores in the US as well as on his website, TheRawFoodSite.com, and Amazon.com, where it has been on Amazon's Alternative Medicine bestseller list since 2005 when it replaced the first edition on the same bestseller list.
In addition, Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days is also published in Spanish in the US and in foreign languages in Hungary, The Czech Republic, India, Korea, Turkey and Russia!
As a result, Peter is frequently interviewed by national and international media, including The Times of London, The NY Times, CBS Sunday News, Fox TV's Morning Show, NBC's Today Show and many, many others.
