health and raw vs. health and cooked

[Guest guest]

 

 

I've also noticed how many of these " healthy " people are dying of cancer at

young ages. It's happening all around me. My whole life, I thought I was

immune to cancer since no one in my family had died from it. My mother died

from pancreatic cancer in March. Both of her siblings outlived her in years,

and one is still alive in her late eighties. She led an active life and thought

of herself as a nutritionist. She was an excellent cook. Healthy-looking

people surround me who eat junk food, smoke, and do drugs. They are time-bombs

waiting to explode in the form of sickness, disease, and death. There are also

people we know of in the media. Susan Butcher just died of cancer and she won

two Iditerods. Linda McCartney was a vegetarian and died from cancer.

Christopher Reeves' wife (sorry, can't remember her name) died from lung cancer

and never smoked. The list goes on and on. All of my readings on cancer led me

down the path of nutrition, and finally the raw

lifestyle. I'm convinced that eating cooked vs. uncooked food is a huge part

of the puzzle.

 

Also, when does someone become " raw " ? If you're eating less than 50% raw,

does that mean you are not living a raw lifestyle? Or is it less than 80%. I'm

beginning to think either a person is primarily raw, or not.

Have you ever wondered how there are people who are in superb health and are not

raw? According to some authors out there this could not be possible. It's

because they stick to whole foods (and not even necessarily organic), stay away

from junk food, GET PLENTY OF EXERCISE and try to limit stress in their lives.

Is it not possible to be the epitome of health and fitness without being 100%

raw? And back to the original post about

being built to pick fruit and not dig vegetables, using your own mind, do you

honestly believe this to be true?
