The answer is quite simple. Raw food is healing food. Raw food is easier to digest, puts less strain on the liver and kidneys, has more enzymes, usually less fat, and is simply healing the way nature intended. Nothing gets you from being a health zero to a health hero faster than a raw food diet/cleanse. To understand the healing power of raw food just look at the two top programs for helaing diabetes naturally. You have Dr. Neal M. Barnards program "Preventing and reversing diabetes" and Dr. Gabriel Cousins program "Raw in 30". Same principles of a low fat vegan diet. But one is raw and one allows cooked foods. In 6 months on Dr Barnards program 75 percent are off their insulin. That's fantastic. On the Dr. Cousins program 75 percent are off insulin by 30 days. The healing power of raw foods!!! Hope this helps!
