I've been researching and pursuing information and lifestyle on whole, natural, non-GE, undenatured foods for 3 years. This book not only does not offer any science, it is totally contrary to science. Nor does it even offer clinical experience or observation.
Occasionally, the author has the grace to precede ridiculous statements with "in my opinion." Statements like "honey is worse than white sugar", and "some people eat insects because apes do" are sadly irrational. I believe his years of seeking nirvana through extremism, which he readily admits to, has brought him to this brink. This type of book and its advice is what gives raw food a bad name.

Following a diet like this is a certain prescription for sickness. The fact that it does not affect someone that way in the short run is because of youth or general good health. He makes blanket statements about a myriad of food items being "poison" with NO reason other than he said so. And statements like "There are all vital nutrients needed in food you buy as long as it tastes good", is frighteningly contrary to the fact that our soil is almost void of ANY nutrients in which to pass on. He makes this statement as 'evidence' to disregard any and all supplements.

This author is still a young man. He is able to abuse his body with extremism and get away with it. This "diet" he recommends is just that- abuse. This diet is contrary to any and all research in biology, physiology and whole food information I have ever read. And I mean outside mainstream medicine. I am talking real science.

If you are new to this field, please consider reading authors who's experiences are considered foundational to raw food eating such as, A. Wigmore, Boutenko or S. Meyerowitz, at least to start with. You will save yourself time and, in the long run, your health.
