Raw v Cooked.....
Posted by: jmac67 ()

Hey John,

Have followed a lot of your YouTube videos, radio shows, posts on living and raw foods etc for a number of years now......

Just a few thoughts + questions for you.......

Firstly, thanks for your response to the message that I sent you re raw food + falling off the wagon a couple of years ago....... very helpful stuff..!

I am starting 365 days of raw fruit, veggies + juices tomorrow.......
I've completed 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 8 months before but then fell off the wagon each time due to massive cravings + detox but feel good about completing 1 year this time + then hopefully making it the foundation for a lifetime as a frugivore.... :-)

My body "knows" that I do best + feel best on low fat, raw fruits + veggies + juices.... just gotta get my mind to the same place + I'm not far off now...

Just wanted to mention that after 5 years or so of mostly raw but with probably 60 or so falls off the wagon I would like to confirm that, as you have stated on multiple occasions, cooked food not only poisons the human body but it also "clogs" you up...... like you, I find that juicing is the best way to "unclog" my system after a bout of eating low-fat, vegan, cooked food.

And "cooked food" is 100% addictive in my experience....
Everything about it screams "drug addiction", to me...!
Taking a substance that in the short term makes you feel euphoric but in the longer term makes you feel sick + unwell, but you cannot stop yourself from taking it over + over again to keep you feeling that temporary high, even though you know full well that in the longer term it's making you feel more + more terrible and sicker + sicker each time....

My body has become so sensitive to what I eat now that I can literally juice + eat raw fruits + veggies for 4-6 weeks and feel vibrant, clean, light, strong + positive and then switch to low-fat cooked vegan and after 4-6 weeks I feel ill, heavy, clogged up, exhausted, frustrated, uninspired + depressed....

I can literally turn my health + entire wellbeing on and off like a light switch just by changing my diet for a period of 4-6 weeks...

By the way John, you look in Awesome shape in this video..... Einstein's Circle of Known: [www.youtube.com]

What do you do for weight training..?
Calisthenics + dumbbells etc..?

When I stay on my raw fruits + veggies and juices and do my calisthenics, after 6-8 weeks I start to get into Awesome shape + I find the workouts fun, enjoyable + invigorating....... then when I switch back to low fat cooked vegan I can't stop eating potatoes + rice + beans etc, I put on weight, I feel lethargic, aches + pains start to flare up, my body becomes stiff + sore + inflamed + heavy + blocked up, working out becomes a chore and my workout + body shape both start to fall away....

But I intend to be in Awesome shape this time after 12mths of raw fruits + veggies and calisthenics....!

Also, would love to see you do a Youtube Video of a timed 100 metre sprint......
I think that would be quite Fascinating + Inspirational..!
I know you've been a great tennis player + sprinter in the past....
A strong, fast, fit athlete who eats only raw fruits + veggies...!
But where does he get his protein from...?!
It's not possible, surely...! ;-)

I'm sure that you have seen this before but I find it incredible that the general public (including my Mum, Dad + sisters, of course..!) can't see the obvious right in front of their eyes...... 9/11 was clearly a false flag operation designed to sell more arms, steal $2.3 trillion, receive huge insurance payouts, steal oil, control the drug crops in Afghanistan etc etc + ultimately to make the unbelievably filthy rich, richer.... I rather like this youtube video by architects + engineers for 9/11 Truth.... [www.youtube.com]

Anyway, just a couple of thoughts for you...

Thanks for your time as always, John and I hope you and your gorgeous little puppy are both healthy, happy + thriving..! :-)

I have 3 rescued street dogs who live with me out here in Phuket + they THRIVE on "raw meaty bones"....

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this short article, which is the way that i feed my guys.... [www.rawmeatybones.com]

Take Care,
James
