Good article! Includes comments from naturopathic physicians. I

actually had an acupuncture from Dr. Ostroff when I lived in Hawaii.

A lust for life

Raw food fanatics chow down on ‘living’ food

Ryan Gehring doesn’t eat anything canned or cooked. “Eating raw

connects me with…life. I become more sensitized to the energies within

and without me,” says Gehring, a raw food practitioner, chef,

consultant and incidentally, my housemate. The term “raw food” is

something of a misnomer. “Anything can be raw. All of nature is raw. It

doesn’t mean that you should eat it.”

 

Dr. Diana Joy Ostroff, an O‘ahu-based naturopathic

physician/acupuncturist, says her dictionary of raw foods includes

fruits, vegetables, nuts, uncooked seeds, sprouts and sprouted legumes.

Ostroff adds that some raw foods, such as quinoa, can actually be

“cooked” as long as they’re heated at temperatures below about 118, the

holy maximum temperature in the raw food world.
