Is Eating Raw Food
Appealing to you?

I have an inkling that only a raw foods diet can contribute or encourage or lead to a person's transformation—physically, mentally and spiritually. And there’s something… someone… my soul? my spirit?... that longs to experience that transformation.

Oh, I’ve had a taste of what it feels like...

(Oh dear, it feels like I’m talking myself into it again…)

Professor Arnold Ehret’s words:

“The Paradisical diet is not only sufficient, but it brings you higher and higher, into physical and mental conditions never before experienced.”

Joe Alexander, the author of Blatant Raw Foodist Propaganda: Or Sell Your Stove to the Junkman and Feel Great! or Consider Your True Nature, writes:

“The greatest value of The Raw-Food Diet is its transformative value. To a great extent, when you take up The Raw-Food Diet, you become a new and different and better person. You don’t just stay the same old person only a little healthier. You become, to a great extent, a new being with new interests, a new philosophy and outlook on life, new goals and new desires. You become more of your essence, your true natural self.”

David Wolfe writes that after several months on a raw-food diet “you get in touch with infinite intelligence. [God?] This is, in my opinion, the greatest value of eating raw foods. The proper diet can literally unlock dormant genius as it allows one to increase the intensity of thought to the point where one can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not accessible to the average person."

Now, that's what I’m talking about. It just makes sense to me that the cleaner the body—the nervous system and everything else—then, the more able we are to hear our own intuition that may actually be the voice of God talking to us. Or a flow of infinite intelligence.

So, you may be asking, what’s the problem?

The answer is not so easy. For one thing, in my research I notice that people become healthy (or at least much healthier) eating a cooked-food diet which is based on whole plant foods, such as the The RAVE Diet or a diet plan like that of Dr. John McDougall’s.

My intention for the past few days was to follow that type of wholesome cooked-food diet and write about it… to begin a 30-day challenge based on the Rave Diet program, try out the recipes in the book and create a sort of 30-day review for my readers.

Then I was made aware of Victoria Boutenko’s newest book about green smoothies and it got me thinking and wondering if instead of cooked food I shouldn’t do another raw-food challenge.

I long for that feeling of clarity, the bubbling up of joy, the extra energy, the amazing dreams—all of which I have experienced on a program of eating raw food only.

The thing is, it requires more discipline than a cooked-food diet. Also, it’s somewhat isolating. There just aren’t that many people who are interested in raw foods. Not that I have such an extensive social life that it would cause problems for me.

Plus, the weather has turned cool and hearty soups are so yummy this time of the year (and for the next few months).

Thus goes my reasoning…

I could write about a 30-day cooked food program, THEN do the 30-day raw food challenge...

...or I could do 100% whole foods vegan and incorporate a raw green smoothie every day for one meal. Of course, that amazing raw-foods transformation wouldn’t happen, even though I have no doubt that outstanding health would be a result.

Stay tuned. Check back. There will be a link here to what I’ve decided to do. I’d love to have you join me on whatever the challenge will be. You know you’ll give yourself a wonderful gift—the gift of outstandingly good health—either improving that which you already enjoy or seeing positive changes that surprise and delight you.
