In an article on timesonline in the UK entitled Is Raw Food Good For You, the writer states: Cutting out meat, fish, eggs, dairy foods and cereal grains would result in the loss of many nutrients.
Who could argue with the fact that cutting out meat, fish, eggs and dairy foods would result in the loss of many nutrients!
The thought does not occur to her apparently that eating these foods raw IS part of a healthy raw food diet.
You just need good sources to know for sure what you are eating – for example are your eggs from cage free chickens? Does it matter if they are fertilized? Are the chickens fed waste products? Or soy? Is raw cheese salted? What is wrong with adding salt? Do I get enough natural salts in a balanced raw diet? Is the beef or buffalo or mutton grass fed exclusively? Are the fish from the deep sea or from contaminated waters?
There are lots of questions. Aajonus has asked these questions and many more. In addition to The Recipe for Living Without Disease which tells many practical and important facts and techniques for food preparation, he has created a report of producers and distributors in the USA whose food products are within his standards. This can be obtained on the www.wewant2live.com site; click here for more info.
There are other questions about organic vegetables exclusively which can be important because vegetables and particularly vegetable juice is part of a balanced raw diet. The word organic gets re-defined by vested interests to the point where the only way to be sure of the nutrient value of your vegetables is to grow them yourself using techniques you will find at www.organicfoodforless.info. Other gardeners and horticulturists have parts of the picture but this horticulturist in Australia has the whole picture and it is easier, costs less and is more rewarding than you may have thought.

Raw Milk Advocate Max Kane speaks
Excerpted from the beginning of a fascinating interview on the Joanne Unleashed.com blog
Joanne: Hello. Welcome to Joanne Unleashed. Today’s guest is Max Kane. He’s an advocate of raw milk, and he’s coming under a lot of fire by our government. In this interview he’s going to be talking about his health problems and how he recovered with raw milk and raw meat. He’s also going go share a lot of information on his views on the role of bacteria. This is a paradigm that most people are completely unaware of, and you do not want to miss this interview. So welcome.
Max: Thanks for having me.
Joanne: Tell me about the health problems that you had when you were younger.
Max: I grew up in the metropolis known as Chicago, so my body was bombarded with a lot of industrial pollution through the air and the water. My diet was extremely processed. I grew up on the average American diet, they call it the SAD diet where you’re eating fast food, and microwaved foods and so forth. At the age of ten my body completely broke down where it started expressing symptoms. It couldn’t handle the toxic load any more. The symptoms were terrible. Severe joint pain. Weight loss. I was wasting away. My skin was extremely pale and dry. I looked like one of those zombies from Night of the Living Dead. If you can imagine one of those zombies in a Nazi death camp. So I went to a medical doctor. They ran their tests and stamped me with a label. They said I had Crohn’s disease and it incurable, and they didn’t know exactly what caused it. I was really scared at the time. But they offered some relief through some medication which, due to my ignorance, I thought was a great idea at the time. I started taking medication. I was medicated for about ten years. After ten years I realized I wasn’t getting any results, and I was taking these pills every day. I was very committed to taking the pills. I have some friends in the inner city who sold crack, actually, and I was making an analogy through my mind how I myself was like a crack head, except going to the corner in the ghetto, I was going to Walgreen’s every month to get my pills. Through that analogy I started looking to the alternative realm. I was doing okay financially at the time, so I started buying more expensive food and shopping at Whole Foods. That’s where I learned about organic food for the first time. I never knew what it was. And then from there my education just progressed and evolved into more of a natural foods, unprocessed foods diet. Then in my mid-twenties I started adhering to a totally unprocessed food diet, which means a raw diet—animal-based as opposed to vegan and vegetarian—so a lot of raw meat, eggs, dairy, vegetables as well. It’s like an all raw food, omnivorous-based diet leaning toward carnivorous. And there’s not really much material out about that as far as reading material. Except there are a couple good books by an author, Aajonus Vonderplanitz. He has two books: one called We Want to Live and the other called The Recipe for Living Without Disease. Other than that, no one’s really published on the subject except there was a cat study done by Francis Pottenger, Jr. back in the thirties, but that was on cats, never on humans eating raw meat. So I started that diet and my health totally turned around. I stopped taking all medication. I put on over 80 pounds of healthy, athletic weight. I’ve been asymptomatic for multiple years now, and I’m in total control of my health.
Joanne: What got you going into raw meat? Was it after reading that book? Or did you just naturally…
Max: No, no. I got into the raw meat before. I used to play professional billiards, and some of the people I played with were Filipino. They took me out to this sushi place, and it was the first time I ever had raw meat. It was raw fish. And I was kind of squeamish. But these were good friends of mine; I didn’t want to insult their culture. So I’m eating this raw salmon. This is like back in my early twenties before I even became conscious of nutrition. That was my first experience with raw meat. But then later when I saw this first nutritionist in my mid-twenties, his name was Jim Marlow, he was the one who suggested eating raw meat. I just ran with that idea, and my body flourished, my health flourished. It was really against everything they tell you. The whole paradigm about bacteria causing disease is not founded, according to my experience. It’s almost the exact opposite that bacteria aid disease—they help you rebuilt your body—and chemicals cause disease. So I’ve been doing my best to stay toxic-free and bacteria-heavy.

"Raw Meat Made Me Feel Phenomenal!"
I was half way through the book “We Want to Live” by Aajonus Vonderplanitz and by Christmas day I decided to eat in the raw. I had to try it. All I had was some organic lamb meat from New Zealand. I put raw organic unheated honey on it with some organic dried basil... I had my organic raw milk from Organic Pastures and made raw egg smoothies with it. I was already making the transition to raw foods by the time I got the book; I just had not implemented eating raw meat. I had been consuming raw milk for three years.
The way eating raw meat made me feel was phenomenal! Just after three days my body order went away, my hair was nice and soft, the oil in my hair was not making me feel dirty like I have to shampoo everyday. My skin felt softer, my teeth felt stronger, as my body did and my legs. My toothache went away! I thought I would have to have another root canal. But, wow I can’t believe it, raw meat is a natural painkiller! I was waking up fully in my body and not groggy. However I was a little giddy and I loved myself more. If this is the only side effect than wow, give me raw meat every day! Plus, eating raw meat seems to have helped me to regulate my hormones. I really like not being over emotional and needy. I just feel fantastic! How wonderful is that? Life is so wonderful! I love life even more.
