"Fresh, raw foods contain the highest level of enzymes and these enzymes assist in digestion. Cooked foods and dry convenient diets have been denatured and are devoid of enzymes: life-promoting elements. While they may maintain life they do not promote optimum health or longevity! " Alicia McWatters, Ph.D., C.N.C
Why a raw food diet? Because from thirty to eighty-five percent of the nutrition in foods is destroyed in cooking.

"The body has the inherent ability -the vitality -not only to heal itself and restore health, but also to ward off disease. Illness is not caused simply by an invasion of external agents or germs, but is a manifestation of the organism's attempt to defend and heal itself. Prevention Is the Best Cure...Health is a reflection of how we choose to live. "
"One fourth of what you eat keeps you alive.
The other three-fourths keep your doctor alive."

| Excerpt from Raw Food by Rev. George H. Malkmus "Man's body is a living organism, made of living cells, which require living food in order to be properly nourished and function well. When we put cooked food into our body, loaded with contaminants, the body starts to break down. It begins in the very young with colic, rashes, colds, earaches, upset stomachs, swollen glands and tonsils. As the child grows older, their may be tooth decay, pimples, the need for eye glasses, etc. Then as we enter adult life there is arthritis, hypoglycemia, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancers. All this and a multitude of other diseases are unnecessary and are nothing but the result of improper diet and lifestyle! Today, most people accept cooked food as the normal means of supplying the body with nutrients, not realizing that the living cells of our bodies do not take nourishment from the dead and artificial ingredients found in cooked food. And so, after a typical meal of cooked meat, cooked potatoes, a cooked vegetable and a piece of cooked bread, followed by a cooked sugar desert, their stomach is full and they think they have satisfied the nutritional needs of their body. In reality, they have given their body practically no nourishment. And thus with a full stomach, they are slowly starving their body's cells. " click the headline to read the whole article . |
| . "Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself" American Living Foods "Why a raw food diet? Because from thirty to eighty-five percent of the nutrition in foods is destroyed in cooking. That is an average fifty percent loss!" . |
. "Disease proliferate only where there is not enough oxygen for cells to be healthy. Raw foods contain an abundance of oxygen. In cooked foods, oxygen is destroyed." "For hundreds of years scientists have been seeking methods to deal with disease. And for hundreds of years they've been looking in the wrong place" New Veg . |

. Excerpt from Why Raw? "For hundreds of years scientists have been seeking methods to deal with disease. And for hundreds of years they've been looking in the wrong place. The answer was right there under their noses - In an organ called the mouth! What we put in our mouth creates either health or disease - our choice. But we only have a choice if we find out what edible substances are beneficial and which are harmful." click the headline to read the whole story (This website has a bunch of links to fabulous articles) . |
| . ENZYMES Each of us receives a supply of enzymes at birth. The supply is NOT limitless; it must supply the organism with life sustaining enzymes for the duration of its existence. When the enzyme supply is exhausted, it signals the breakdown of the organism (the dog). Enzymes are needed to run all body systems. Metabolic enzymes are used by the heart, lungs, kidneys, immune system, and for brain functions; digestive enzymes convert protein, carbohydrates and fat into fuel to maintain the organism. Over taxing the body to supply digestive enzymes can reduce the supply of metabolic enzymes. Eventually, the body becomes enzyme-deficient making it vulnerable to disease. Not suprisingly, glands and major organs suffer most from enzyme deficiency. How can one prevent the body from depelting its own supply of enzymes? Nature solved the problem for us by providing those enzymes in RAW FOODS. Food enzymes begin the process of digestion in the stomach. If there are no food enzymes, the body must produce additional digestive enzymes resulting in fewer metabolic enzymes.Enzymes for 'Life' Excerpt from "Cooked food passes through the digestive tract more slowly
than raw food, tends to ferment, and throws poisons back into the body.
Colon cancer is second only to lung cancer as a killer in America and is
related, in various ways, to eating enzyme-deficient cooked food.
Prolonged intestinal toxemia may manifest the following symptoms:
Fatigue, nervousness, gasto-intestinal discomfort, recurrent infections,
skin eruptions, hormonal disturbances, headaches, arthritis, sciatica,
low back pain, allergies, asthma, eye, ear, nose and throat disorders,
cardiac irregularities, pathological changes in the breasts, and so
forth. All of these conditions have been shown to respond to therapy
directed to correcting the bowel toxemia. Of course, it is important to
have fiber in the diet to scrub the colon walls clean, but even more
important are the enzymes which will allow proper digestion and
assimilation of vital nutrients. Cooked food often passes into the
bloodstream as unsplit molecules that are deposited, as waste, in
various parts of the body. If it is a fat molecule we know it as
cholesterol plaque; if calcium, arthritis; if sugar, diabetes. White

| . Excerpt from NUTRITION by myrrh Food is the single most important factor in achieving and maintaing good health. When it comes to good nutrition the key, as in all natural living, is simplicity. "Living foods, such as fruits and vegetables, eaten in their natural state, raw, or only slightly cooked, is best to get all the nutrients they have to offer. By cooking our foods, vegetables and fruits, we loose 85% of the nutrients they provide. All enzymes are killed and amino acids are either destroyed or changed into indegestible components. . |
. Trophology: The Science of Food Combination Western physicians advise everyone to take 'a little of everything
at every meal', jumbling together such disparate ingredients as meat,
milk, starch, fat and sugar. Such indiscriminate consumption of food is
no different than pouring a combination of gas, oil, alcohol and sugar
into the gas tank of your car. These blends will not burn efficiently,
will provide little power and will quickly clog up the engine so badly
that the entire system grinds to a halt. |

This site is designed to serve as an information-sharing resource for those interested in, or already implementing a live-food way of eating, and specifically, Aajonus Vonderplanitz' RAF (raw animal foods) recommendations. Why eat uncooked food," you might ask. Well, a better question to ask yourself is, "Why eat cooked food?" The truth is that there are a great number of of reasons to eat fresh, raw foods. There is growing evidence that raw foods are much easier for our bodies to digest and assimilate. As we cook or otherwise process fresh raw foods, nutrients are altered and damaged, making it harder for our bodies to optimally use the food we consume. Gradually changing to a diet rich in raw foods, including raw animal foods, can facilitate very positive and lasting health benefits.

| Fresh RAW Juice
"We have found that many digestive systems are not functioning well and the sicker the person, the more difficult it is to digest and assimilate the nutrients in raw vegetables, because they contain the pulp or fiber. But with the pulp or fiber removed, the nutrients can pass directly into the blood stream and within minutes are feeding the cells and restoring the immune system." Rev. George Malkmus At the Gerson Clinic in Mexico, they are healing the "incurables" (lung cancer, spreading melanoma, lymphoma, brain cancer, breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, lupus, migraines, etc.) through the use of freshly-extracted raw vegetable juices.
Excerpt from "It has now been more than 20 years since the doctor told me I had colon cancer. When I first heard the word "cancer," it struck terror in me. I was scared because I knew what I was facing. As a pastor, I had sat at the bedside of many cancer victims and conducted their funerals throughout my ministry. And I had recently watched my own Mother die a slow, torturous death after her colon cancer was treated with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Refusing to subject my body to those same medical treatments that I felt had helped kill my Mom, I sought an alternative. Fortunately, I had a preacher friend in Texas by the name of Lestor Roloff who encouraged me to simply change my diet and lifestyle and drink lots of freshly extracted carrot juice! It sounded too simple, but, I took his advise... drastically and overnight changed my diet and lifestyle and almost immediately started to get well! Within one year, not only was my cancer gone, but so were all my other physical problems. These included high blood pressure, severe sinus and allergy problems, hemorrhoids, hypoglycemia, fatigue, pimples... even body odor and dandruff! " click the headline to read the whole article . |

Colon Cancer with RAW Food A personal account Excerpt from God's Way to Ultimate Health By Rev. George H. Malkmus "The year was 1976. I was 42 years old and I was told I had colon cancer. A tumor about the size of a baseball had been found underneath my left rib cage where the transverse and descending colon come together. I was devastated! I asked, "Why me Lord?" I didn't understand! "What was I to do?...as a pastor for 20 years, I had sat at the bed- side of so many people and watched the devastating effects of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery experienced by others in the treatment of their cancers, I had also conducted the funerals for many of them." "...he advised me not to go the medical route of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, as mom had gone... BUT TO SIMPLY CHANGE MY DIET TO RAW FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, AND DRINK LOTS OF FRESH CARROT JUICE!" (click the headline to read the successful outcome of this story) . |
. Overcoming lifelong chronic illnesses and dramatic weight loss with natural/raw/living food diet By the author of this web site---Shirley The Naturopahtic doctor gave me a homeopathic remedy and made me switch my diet from the SAD (Standard American Diet) to eating mostly RAW organically grown fruits, nuts and vegetables; I eliminated meat and dairy products and cut down drastically the starchy stuff like grains, pasta, and breads. In 6 weeks, the lumps were completely gone. In 12 weeks I had lost 60 pounds effortlessly and my energy level and stamina improved dramatically. My overall resistance to infections became excellent and I'm proud to say that in the past 14 years I have not had a cold, flu, ear, throat or breast infections or any other infections. Raw food and homeopathy also strengthened my weak back and I have not suffered from back pains since. My eczema condition improved dramatically (after an initial aggravation or healing crisis which lasted several months) but was never completely cured. (see A light at the end of the tunnel - Part 2 for a currant update on my eczema/psoriasis condition which is successfully being treated with flax oil, evening primrose oil, herbs, raw vegetable juice and an Edgar Cayce program) . |

MAN DOES NOT DIE--HE COMMITS SLOW SUICIDE WITH HIS UNNATURAL HABITS OF LIVING "Don't believe the moth-eaten fallacy that man, as he gets older, must face decrepitude, decay, senility and death. Man does not die-he commits slow suicide with his unnatural habits of living. Your body is the most gloriously accurate instrument of this universe. Given the correct fuel, pure air, exercise and keeping it internally clean, your body will last indefinitely and function perfectly." --Paul Bragg Humans are not the only creatures
on earth who can benefit from raw/living food "A
growing number of veterinarians state that processed pet food is the
main cause of illness and premature death in the modern dog and cat.
In December 1995, the British Journal of Small Animal Practice
published a paper contending that processed pet food supresses the
immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart and other diseases.
This research, initially conducted by Dr Tom Lonsdale, was
researched further by the Australian Veterinary Association and
proven to be correct." Canine Health

Vaccines:
are they really safe and effective?  Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics,
congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly
contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and
effectiveness.
"Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced." Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.Learn more about vaccine & diabetes connection --- asthma & vaccine connection --- SIDS & autism and vaccine connection --- "Shaken Baby Syndrome": the vaccination link What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated!
