Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I would like to take this opportunity to announce the release of the Second Edition of The Live Food Factor, the most thorough and complete manual on all aspects of the raw diet, as well as a complete primer on the true science of human health known as natural hygiene. There is no other book like it on the market today. See the rave reviews that greeted the First Edition on www.amazon.com Once you have read it through, you will refer to it again and again. Even if you have been practicing a raw diet for years and think you " know it all, " you will find material here you haven't seen before. With Christmas season approaching, you may also want to consider ordering one or more as gifts for those relatives and significant others who need to be convinced that this is the diet for them. If this book doesn't do it, nothing will. The before and after photos of some of our testimonials are convincing enough. Email me privately if you would like to see the Table of Contents, the forewords by Dr. Vetrano and Victoria Boutenko, and the Introduction. The Live Food Factor will retail for $29.95 once it appears in stores, but as editor I can offer it to list members at a 10% early-bird discount of US$27 (per book) + $5 S & H (per order within the US) or $10 S & H (international). Note that for domestic orders, the shipping charge applies only to the first book. If you wish to place an order, contact me for further ordering details. Bob Avery FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Up until about five thousand human generations ago, it was unheard of to cook one’s food. As man and food evolved, the two have become less and less compatible, especially given modern man’s penchant for artificial, processed, refined, sugar-laden, fatty " foods. " In her first book, titled The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit, & Planet, author Susan Schenck weaves scientific proof, testimonials, and history, presenting the most comprehensive raw foods guide ever. Need scientific proof of healing via raw diet? Schenck has reviewed more than 60 scientific experiments from all over the world. For those needing more handholding, Schenck gives a blow-by-blow account of " going raw, " both cold turkey and more gradually. This 660-page tome is split into five sections: One is an overview of the benefits of going raw. Two showcases the scientific reasons for going raw. Three highlights the raw movement’s history and its leadership. Four is a complete how-to manual. The final section presents additional reference material with comprehensive bibliographies and an extensive Resource Guide that includes listings of health retreats and fasting institutions, pertinent web links, raw food restaurants, and mail order sources for raw foods and kitchen gadgets. Over 130 flavorful recipes round out the book, called by the president of Living Tree Community Jesse Schwartz " …the best compendium we’ve seen on alive food. " The just released Second Edition has been expanded, revised, and updated in collaboration with natural health educators Victoria BidWell, Dr. Vivian V. Vetrano, MD, and Dr. Tosca Haag, MD, to include new testimonials from long-time raw fooders, a chapter on how to raise children raw from birth, a comprehensive primer on the nondietary factors of health — including a compilation of the Laws of Life and a list of the “ten energy enhancers” — a chapter on therapeutic fasting, another on detoxification methods and symptoms, and additional material on techniques for breaking addictions of all sorts. You will find the rules for proper food combining along with the category classifications of individual foods, sample menus, and a seasonal eating plan. There is a an appendix on the history of the pharmaceutical drug scam, another on behavioral modification techniques for overcoming addictions of all sorts, and even an appendix covering the practice of raw meat eating and the theories that support it.
