Raw Food Facts

I have a friend who is fighting cancer. She is unfamiliar with the raw food diet but is very open to learning about it. I want to start her off with a good beginner book, doesn’t necessarily have to have recipes, but would love for it to inspire her to learn more. Any suggestions?

    i dont know of any books, but you could google david wolfe, and check out naturalnews.com, but would suggest finding a natropathic doctor.

    Dear Kindaraw, I’m no health expert, and no medical doctor, but I have met some cancer survivors who healed on the raw food diet! Recently I have a friend whose mother was dignosed with colon cancer which later spreaded to the liver. The doctor determined her to be in Stage 4 and basically sent home to “have her life prolonged”. That was last year, and after the inital grieving, the family kinda accepted it and conditioned themselves to “fate”. I finally had the chance to meet her recently, and went through a 2 hour session with her telling her about raw food and brought some hope back. I was glad that the parents took positively to the idea because to them, there is nothing to lose! I suggested to invest in a juicer immediately because juicing has been known one of the best methods to get vitamins & nutrients into the body effectively.I may or may not change anything, but I just try my best to share with her whatever I can. I know that Max Gerson did tremendous work on cancer healing with raw foods, the only unraw thing he used is goose liver juice or something like that. Otherwise, I think you can find some resources from the Gersons Institute. This place has healed many cancer patients before, afterall ;)

    Hi Kindaraw,

    The first book that led me to becoming a vegan before I found out about raw was a book called ‘The China Study’ by Dr T Campbell. It is an amazing book that has a huge section on cancer. I can thoroughly recommend this book. As for raw books, I’m at a loss. I got all my info from the net. Good luck.

    Hippocrates Institute helps people fight cancer following a raw diet, you might google it: “hippocrates institute”, “dr. clement”, “ann wigmore”...

    Best wishes!

    Kris Carr did a whole documentary about her bout with cancer. I believe that she was helped by the Hippocrates Institute too.
    The title of her documentary is a bit wild, but she is so amazing. Below please find the link to her documentary info and the link to her blog (respectively)

    z?chen: yes china study was the only book I was able to thoroughly recommend to her as I read it and it made a huge impact on me. I am sending this thread to her in hopes she will be inspired to investigate further. Many thanks for your responses and well wishes!!

    I second the crazy sexy cancer – I saw her on Oprah with Doctor Oz and she was amazing. They were drinking green juices together.

    I’ve found Victoria Boutenko and Matt Monarch to be the most accessible for me. I haven’t read anything of theirs about recovering from illness, but they’re pretty no nonsense and very helpful. I have Green for Life by Boutenko and Raw Success by Monarch.

    She should have a look at The Complete Book of Raw Food. It’s a pretty good introduction, & seems to cover most of the basics, and has a great range of recipes to try.

    i was inspired to “go raw” after reading The Cure by Dr. Timothy Brantley www.brantleycure.com...on the cover it says:

    “heal your body,save your life….the 12 week plan to prevent and reverse cancer,heart disease,obesity,and more.”

    they may also find some good info at www.hacres.com...my very best wishes go out to your friend:)

    Kindaraw- I really like Natalia Rose’s books (The Raw Food Detox Diet and Raw Food Life Force Energy) and I adore Kris Carr too. All the best to you and your friend.
