Book Review: Holistic Medicine
Summary: 5 Stars
I kind of scoffed when I got this book in the mail. Flipping through it and seeing so many pages filled with poetry, I thought, "well I hope I can glean at least a little useful information out of this expensive book." It looks kind of flaky to someone unfamiliar with the beauty of the raw diet. Furthermore, there are a lot of quotes attributed to authors with the last name Rainbow, or Wisdom. I doubted they could have anything serious to say to me.
But let me tell you that this book grows on you the more alive [read: raw] you become. The more you engage with the detoxing process, the more you just clutch this book, trying to squeeze in as much reading time as possible in between work, school, and sleeping. I've even taken this book to the bathroom with me, I just can't put it down. (My homework has seriously suffered this semester.) There's so much great scientific information in here that I am constantly looking up the nutritional benefits of everything I put in my smoothies. David anticipates so many of our questions because he's worked with raw foodists for so many years, that he knows how deeply and tenaciously we hold to our chemical way of life. We are psychologically attached to the saddest, most nutrient-deficient, chemically saturated, non-food in the history of civilization, and this book is David's attempt to help us see the light, that what we eat can change our life radically- mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We don't have to feel like we're slowly dying all the time.
I'm now in my 4th week and I just wanted to share some of the changes I've noticed so far. The night I found out about the raw diet, I read and read about it for about seven hours until about 2 am when I realized that somewhere in that time, I'd become "raw". While reading, I did a good amount of emotional detoxing, like how you feel after a good cry. The next thing I noticed was that my lifelong cravings for carbohydrates, sugar, and chocolate dissapeared within the first week (I went 100% raw overnight). I now get grossed out by the sight of cookies! I went into a deep depression in the second week, but thankfully came out of it alive. (I think that was part of the detox process now.) I've lost about 5 lbs so far(although I haven't weighed myself, my pants are getting looser), my skin has cleared up a lot (I have bad acne), my skin all over my body is more radiant, I have more confidence, I feel so sexy, I smile more because I'm not ashamed of my food addiction anymore, I look people in the eye (I NEVER used to be able to hold eye contact- all my life I had a great fear of what people would see in me if they looked in my eyes- now I do it all the time, and I love it), I engage in more fulfilling conversations with people, and I strike up friendly conversation with strangers. They say raw foodists can recognize each other in a crowd. Well I struck up a completely random conversation with my first one last week. It's some kind of vibe I guess.
I used to be really cynical and dissaproving of everything about myself. But I'm starting to think really positive empowering thoughts just randomly. I can happily report that this book (which is kind of a Bible for anyone starting the diet) is now one of the most treasured books in my library. I reference it daily, and I anticipate I probably will for a long time.
