The Philosophy of Eating RAW

When you put foods that are alive into your body, your body will become more alive. Living things die when heated to high temperatures. Foods which are heated over 118 degrees are dead. If we heated our body over 118 degrees it would be dead also. When we eat foods which are still living they add to our life-force and vitality. A body which is clean can feel and absorb this aliveness on a cellular level. Kirlian photography clearly reveals the life force and auras of foods. They are super-charged with the positive natural energy of the biosphere in their raw state.

Eating foods which are cooked, dead, creates a condition in our body called leukocytosis. This happens as white blood cells rush to the scene to fight off the dead, toxic, food ingested. This happens to many people 3 times a day, often more. When you are eating raw living foods you are not interfering with the white blood cell defense system, leaving it strong to deal with its job of cleaning up our system more effectively.

Raw foods are also loaded with the enzymes developed to facilitate their own growth and which are in turn, necessary for digestion. Cooked foods lose these enzymes and must be processed by the limited store of enzymes native to the body. However, these enzymes are not replaceable and eventually run out. For most people, as our culture encourages consumption of predominantly cooked and processed foods, enzyme systems deplete quite early in life. This leaves our digestive system severely compromised. Raw foods facilitate easy digestion. They were created to be digested easily. Digestion should be easy, something you don't even notice. Then the metabolism can focus itself upon life goals and enjoyment.

Life is meant to be easy. Eating foods close to nature enables this to be so. It takes no effort for grass to grow. Living should not be an effort. We should feel good in our bodies. Life should be comfortable and we should feel our place in the cycles of nature - living in abundance, in love and in beauty - as we are part of the beauty of our planet.
