DAVID WOLFE....slick salesman out for a quick $, or a truthfu...

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike, you missed the essential question in my post , which is very

Specific. Mr. Wolfe Claims in Exact terms , that in todays

Agriculturally

world, Even Organic Produce is Very deficient in certain Minerals, and

he claims that if you eat a 100% Organic Raw Food diet, you are

absolutely deficient in Minerals, and you ''need'' Supplements to be

Adequately

Mineralized. Now i am saying either that is a true statement...or it is

not. Figuring it out is a little more difficult, but that indeed is the

question .

In fact i just recieved today a bulletin

from DAVID WOLFEs website www.rawfood.com, which includes a pitch for

RAW POWER 'thors raw protien supplement powder' . Please allow me to

quote Verbatum , right from the website concerning this 'supplement' and

tell me what you think . This is taken right from the website under product =

THOR'S RAW POWER PROTEIN BLEND . Speaking is Thor Blazer, formelly

Stephen Arlin , founder and co partner with David Wolfe of rawfood.com

 

" Truth be told, my motivation was

a pretty little brunette -- my wife. She has been vegan her whole adult life

but didn't give much thought to protein for years. Many of us know that the

human body doesn't need as much protein as some people people think, but (like

me) after being into raw food nutrition for 10+ years, she noticed a definite

physical need for more protein than a raw/vegan diet can provide "

Ok there ya go.... focus on

that Last sentence in his quote. Now my question is very simple and direct

, in your opinion is he right , or is this a Whole bunkload of

sheer Money Hungry and Marketing Bull Shi* & !

 

In my opinion The ? is a

Legitimate , vital and important one, and i invite everyone to respond.

 

thanks,

 

Dave

David,

 

In this particular case I believe he is in error. What I was merely pointing out

is that even if he is in error, he may truly believe in what he is saying. You

were trying to say that he is either correct or unscrupulous. The world isn't

always so black and white.

I think it's easy to err too far in one direction or the other. No

doubt some supplements are helpful at times-- I certainly am better

off for using flax oil, for instance, and once every 3-4 mo. I buy a

bag of caco nibs, and I love them. There was also a time when I

needed B12 really bad for a month or so. I agree with Mike:

nothing's black and white, set in stone. But I also wince at the

profusion of expensive and practically non-nutritive supplements

being offered to raw fooders, especially things like MSM (a pure

chemical compound, therefore a drug?) and other non-herbal, non-food

supplements.

 

We do live in an imperfect world; certainly our soil is not what it

used to be. And when people are starting out on this path and

haven't detoxified and are therefore unable to assimilate nutrients

well, it's possible that certain supplements like minerals may help

for a time. Ultimately we have to turn within and find our own way.

 

I personally have an extra incentive not to get into supplements:

I've been watching the unfolding of the Codex Alimentarius disaster

that is soon to reach our shores. Unless strong measures are taken

by more concerned Americans, I think it's doubtful that we will have

access to these supplements and minerals, and maybe even herbs

(unless we grow our own), in the near future. Many supplements will

even be declared illegal. So I am already trying to learn to live

without modern supplements and keep myself healthy and in balance

with raw foods only, and a few common 'cooking' (ginger, garlic) and

flax oil, wild greens, and most of all, periodic fasting.

 

I really like all of the raw food teachers, because I think each of

them has at least something valuable to say, and their widely

diverging and conflicting messages inadvertently poke fun at each

one's assumed status of 'guru' and remind us that there is still a

lot to learn about an optimal raw food diet.
