Raw Food Does NOT Cure Disease!
I don’t mean to harp on this point but it seems that many folks just aren’t getting the picture here. The ONLY thing that can “cure” disease is HEALTH. Truly healthy people DO NOT get sick. Does this sound TOO simple? Do you want it to be complicated? So becoming healthy is how we cure disease yea? Of course, but creating health requires a multi-faceted approach in which no aspect of lifestyle can be left unattended. Surely subscribing to a “healthy” diet would be a necessity in creating overall health, however, without sleep, daily exercise, sufficient sunlight, etc. even the healthiest diet will NOT result in overall health. This being considered “Sleep cures disease” would be just as fair (and just as incomplete) a statement as Raw Food Cures Disease.
More to the point lets examine the validity of Raw Food Diet as a “healthy” diet. What constitutes a healthy diet? The more appropriate question would be “what does NOT constitute a healthy diet?”. Being that most degenerative diseases are diseases of excess we should first look at what needs to be eliminated from our diets to make it a healthy one. Even most nutrient “deficiencies” are caused by poor eating choices and overeating in general. By and large, deficiencies are not from eating insufficient nutrients, they come out of ignorance of the natural physiological functions of our body. Yet we are convinced that all we need is MORE CONSUMPTION to cure what ails us. “Eating less food cures disease” is, again, just as true as “Raw Food Cures Disease” but again,quite incomplete.
