Book Reviews of The Live Food Factor
Book Review: It seems to agree with me!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've suffered from digestive issues and constipation/diarrhea my entire life. When I was a baby, my mom used to give me saline enemas because I wouldn't go #2 for a week. I've been eating probably 70% raw for the last 2 weeks after reading this book. Yesterday I ate 85% raw. I do notice a difference in my body when I eat mostly raw foods. I'm going to the bathroom more often, and I feel lighter, my stomach is smaller, and feels more relaxed. What a wonderful relief this is for me!!!
I'd have to advise people not to listen to the cooked vegans who gave negative reviews. Too much soy is SO bad for you, especially for women because it increases estrogen. In an environment full of xenoestrogens, we don't need more!!! I think most people would be better off having an orange julius (raw eggs and oranges), hemp protein powder, or sashimi to get enough protein. You can supplement with cilantro and chlorella if you're worried about the mercury in fish. Also the "go raw" sprouted pumpkin seeds from whole foods have plenty of protein and are so tasty. I'm of a "Type O" northern European descent, and have always felt better higher protein, lower-carb diets, however, after eating cooked meats sometimes I would feel lousy. Same thing with omelets in the morning. Now i'm finding I do much better when I have a couple of oranges blended up with either a raw egg or a few tablespoons of hemp protein powder--not both - this makes me feel crummy - and the author says not to mix proteins. Now I see why.
For overall health, I believe that people should also get their mercury fillings out by a holistic dentist (the "right" way), get a reverse osmosis system if their water is fluoridated, and pay attention to the energy enhancers and drainers that the author talks about in this book. I subtract 1 star because there aren't enough recipes in the book. I only recall seeing 1 meal plan and 1 recipe for raw cake (looks yummy though). There are plenty of raw recipes if you Google them, I just wished that the author would have shared a few of her favorites. Also, most people will probably have to buy a Vitamix if they want to go 100% raw and these blenders are very expensive. I've been searching for one on Craigslist and eBay and they are 300+ dollars.
Summary of The Live Food Factor
"The Live Food Factor" is the first comprehensive guide not only to the raw food diet, but also to the raw food movement itself. This diet is sweeping America as people discover its power not only to make a body lean, but also to keep disease at bay and bolster the immune system to heal from what are typically considered "incurable" diseases. Everyone who eats should read this book! The first edition won the IPPY award as "most progressive health book of the year." The second edition of the "Live Food Factor" is an updated, expanded, and revised comprehensive guide to the raw food diet, with a section on inspiration, a section on science, a section on the history of raw foodism, a complete how-to section, including frequently asked questions & answers, and recipes. It contains 66 scientific studies to support the superiority of eating raw. This second edition brings a summary of all the benefits of Natural Hygiene as well. It includes several chapters written mainly by Victoria BidWell, including the true cause of illness, how to detox and an entire chapter on fasting. It also includes a new chapter written mainly by Dr. Vetrano and Dr. Tosca Haag on how to get children to eat raw. There are new testimonials, many new recipes, updated science studies, and even 3 new appendices. It is packed with new and updated information. In fact, this edition has about 37% more information! (The font had to be slightly smaller to squeeze everything in!) It also contains forewords by Dr. V.Vetrano, DC, hMD, PhD, DSci (who worked extensively with Dr. Shelton of the Natural Hygiene movement) and Victoria Boutenko (one of the most noted leaders of the raw food movement). It was carefully edited for accuracy by Bob Avery, expert on the raw food diet and former editor of the M2M magazine, as well as by Victoria Bidwell and Dr. Vetrano for accuracy in the Natural Hygiene components.Personal Transformation Books
