Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 It's also just logical. Why would you want to destroy your food before you eat it? Cooking destroys the most vital element of the food the enzymes. Enzymes are the spiritual power of the food the life force and catalysts that make everything in our bodies work. Cooking damages and changes virtually all the nutrients in food. It reduces the vitamin content up to 80% and it coagulates and the proteins making them mostly useless and very difficult to digest. Eating cooked food immediately raises the white blood cell count in most people. That means we are introducing a poison into our systems. Raw foods do not raise the white blood cell count.<br><br>Anyway this group is not about raw foods. I only make the suggestion of raw foods because it might help some people out in regards to their health and in manifesting their desires. A great book to read on this topic is by Dr. Gabriel Cousens called " Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet. " This book may open your eyes to the connection between diet and the spiritual force. Though the author does not claim that diet alone will make you very spiritual. It also depends on what you do and how you think. <br><br>Personally I feel there is no comparison between someone who eats totally raw and someone who eats a cooked food diet. I have a friend of mine who has been eating a totally raw diet for the past three years. He is a senior citizen. I don't know his exact age because he doesn't tell anyone. But he is just amazing. He has the energy and intellect of a healthy 25 year old. He lives in NY City and he walks all over the place. He maintains a very high walking speed. Most 30 year olds could not keep up with him. (Last night we were in Philadelphia and we ran up the stairs to the great museum that Rocky ran up in his movie.)<br><br>He can stand up all day long without being fatigued. I went walking with him in Canada as I had just switched to 100% raw foods a day before that and my heels were constantly in pain from standing up too long while we explored Toronto. He said that pain would go away with the 100% raw diet. In three weeks the pain did go away for me. I couldn't believe it. Now I can work longer hours because I don't get nearly as fatigued from standing.<br><br>He just passed his vision test for driving without glasses. He used to need reading glasses and now he reads very well without them. If it weren't for his white hair, beard, and wisdom I would think he was 25 years old. <br><br>He's also one of the members of this club. Maybe he'll post a little information on how the raw diet has affected him from a spiritual perspective and other raw Foodists he has met. He is the one who I mentioned in the previous post who attends the Christian Science meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
