Hello Em: Natural Hygiene (food combining) has been around at least since the beginning of the 1900s. If you read the older raw food information (15 years or more back) most, if not all, of the concepts are based on natural hygiene. The " grandmother " of " modern " raw foodism (according to me), Ann Wigmore, developed her ideas from within a natural hygiene approach. The earlier natural hygienists were, apparently, divided as to whether natural hygiene should involve only raw food, or should include cooked food. If you read many modern books on food combining, particularly those published in the UK or Australia, you will find cooked and animal foods included in the recipes. Meanwhile, in the US, it seems that natural hygiene has taken an exclusive tack toward raw food (only), although, at the same time, early natural hygienists in America did not necessarily adhere to a 100% raw diet (see http://chetday.com/v4n7.pdf) As a raw foodist, if you read books or articles which discuss natural hygiene/food combining, you are likely to find unusual suggestions,foodwise, when you are expecting to find raw vegan ideas. If you are interested in traditional natural hygiene/food combining from a raw food perspective (or a transitional focus), look at the Bernard Jensen, Herbert Shelton, and Ann Wigmore, and Eydie Mae Hunsberger publications. Check out the book, " Fit for Life, by Harvey Diamond. (all of these books are listed in the list books database rawfood/database Dr. Doug Graham takes natural hygiene on an interesting non-traditional trip with his 80/10/10 food combining ideas. His ideas are currently much in vogue with many newer raw food converts. I hope this helps. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
