In the raw

Brigitte Mars, herbalist and raw-food lover, is sitting on a park

bench outside the Boulder School of Massage with her lunchbox packed

with foods, all raw.

 

Since 2001 Mars has eaten nothing but raw or " living " food, and now

she has published " Rawsome!, " on raw food cuisine. " I've tried

everything in my quest for optimal health, " she says, studying

Chinese medicine, herbal healing, eating vegetarian, macrobiotic and

always organic.

 

But with raw foods she found what she was seeking. " I have lots of

energy, my skin is better, and I can even sing better, " she says,

which she attributes to a diet free of foods that feed congestion.

The raw-food regimen has eliminated her husband's long-term digestion

issues, and with every eye exam his vision improves, she says.
