THe founder/owner of the institute I went to is not 100% raw. He eats fish weekly, cooked eggs and lots of butter. Although, he was raw for a long time and it saved his life. He runs the institute strictly, though. You probably know the story of Dr. William Kelley. HE cured himself of pancreatic cancer with raw diet. Then after remarrying, put his new bride on a raw diet and almost killed her. Right before she went into a coma he resorted to a last ditch effort and fed her meat and she was up and about within 48 hours. Dr. Kelley is the originator of the metabolic diet (which can be found at www.sawilsons.com). He is not 100% raw either, settling like Bragg at about 75/25, raw to cooked. He also recommends retaking his test every 6 months as our needs change. Fortunately or unfortunately we learn flexibility with experience. Some will listen, some won't. --a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Anne, It depends upon whether or not you want to ULTIMATE cleanse. If you have cancer, it is a necessity. If you don't, it isn't. mary --- ms4runr2 <ms4runr2 wrote: > LOL !

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Mary, May I forward this on to another group I belong to? And I'm going to keep it myself,truly makes sense. Thank's, Shirley mary rawfood Anne, In my opinion, there are only two reasons to be fruitarian. The first is to complete the cleansing process. Veggies do not contain the needed amount of sap to ferment lose the hardened fecal matter on the intestinal walls. Fruit does. A short 100% fruitarian fast, whether done as intervals or in one long burst, will do the job. There are certain illness that cannot be removed without such a fast. Cancer is one.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 > TOmatoes are alkalizing?? : Yes, and so are lemons. Don't mistake the acidic effect in the mouth with the pH effect on the body. It' is the ash left behind by digestion that determind the pH value of a food. rusty.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I know lemons are alkalizing, but I " ve always heard tomatoes are acidic. IN canning they are treated as acidic. They were also limited in our diet at the raw food institute in the beginning. However, I will very gladly accept the ph of the ash being the defining criteria. -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Pretty much all raw fruits and veggies are alkaline ash producing, i.e., alkalinizing. When canned, foods are first cooked. All cooked foods are acid-producing; when fruits and veggies are cooked, they become acid-producing in our bodies. Tomatoes often get a bad rap because tomato plants are members of the nightshade family. Some plants of the nightshade family have leaves which are poisonous, notably the belladonna plant. But that is the plant, and plants do not want to be eaten, and so they produce toxic substances, in various degrees of toxicity, in their leaves and stalks to discourage eaters. But plants produce fruits in order to propagate the plant. Fruits are intended to be eaten, and in fact must be eaten in order to spread the seed of the plant. So while a plant may be a bad idea to eat, the fruit of the plant is going to be very healthy. Raw tomatoes, as long as your body wants them and finds them appealing, are great. I love them.
