Overall: Disclaimer – I read this book just **afte*r* I'd read Doug Graham's

 

80/10/10, which makes this review " skewed " – my perspective is

biased from just having read the 80/10/10.

 

I found the book a good primer on the topic, and not nearly as

 

well-researched or edited as 80/10/10.

If you've not read any of the Life Science Health System (see post #1481 for

details on that) by T.C. Fry, you may find much of the earlier part of the

book of interest, it draws, as I expect it would with T.C. Fry as a

co-author (deceased 1996), heavily from that work. Having read and

studied the LSHS, I found much of the earlier chaters repetitive, and I

realize that many have read none of the LSHS, so the information would be

new.

 

I found it a very good primer, accomplishing what it set out to do. There's

an excellent section on p.145 entitled

 

* " How to Present the Raw Food Diet Message " *

 

 

The book definitely helps to get the word out about Alive, Raw Foods.
