Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hi Mark, Interesting. I wonder if " Vonderplanitz " is his real name. Wow. Here's my take on it. Our bodies have a limited capacity for dealing with inappropriate 'foods', which can be defined as anything from just 'biologically incorrect' (i.e., meat) to downright poisonous (i.e., rotting meat). How much it can handle depends not only on the body in question but also the type and amount of harmful substance(s) ingested. In other words, eating a very small amount of rotting meat, for example, might cause symptoms but would not result in death for most people, notably healthy individuals. Eating a large amount of rotting meat, on the other hand, would overwhelm the body's capacity for eliminating the poisonous by-products of putrefaction, however, and in many cases would cause severe symptoms or even death. My guess is the people who are eating this stuff and seeming to get away with it are probably eating very small amounts. None of these scenarios serves to support or invalidate the germ theory.

Some people say they can eat rotten food and not get sick. I happened to catch Aajonus Vonderplanitz, author of We Want to Live, on a TV show the other night (Ripley's Believe It or Not) and he told of how he eats raw meat that has been sitting around in a jar for A YEAR or more. He exposes it to air periodically to help the rotting process. Evidently the stuff smells absolutely horrible, but somehow he and his followers manage to eat the stuff. It must be teeming with " bad " bacteria such as E.coli. How do I define bad? Well, to me, if it smells horrible and makes you want to gag, it's bad! But AV says this diet not only doesn't make people sick, it cures them of sickness. I'm not advocating this diet (I'm a vegetarian), I'm just reporting what he said.
