Can't satisfy hunger

But it's a temporary condition that you go through as many have experienced. Aterhov wrote about this decades ago.. [archive.org] When a cooked-eater decides to change over to raw-eating, at first he never feels satisfied, no matter how much he eats. Usually instead of feeling happy, food-addicts feel discontented with that condition. In their opinion, the reason for their continuous hunger lies in the fact that the foodstuffs which they consume are of low nutritional value and are worthless as nourishment. This is a terrible misconception. On the contrary, those foodstuffs are both nutritious and fully-balanced. The human cells have suffered for years from their absence. The capacities of the human digestive organs fully correspond to their composition and the arrangement of their constituents. That is why the stomach gladly welcomes those foodstuffs, softens them quickly and passes them to the intestines without much delay, while the cells in their own turn. 18 A. T. Hovannessian emaciated and weakened as they are with starvation, avidly absorb those valuable substances and repeatedly demand more and more of them. The diseased cells are healed, the emaciated ones recuperate, the inactive regain their vitality. The fat cells, on the other hand, begin to melt away through starvation, the accumulations of poisons gradually disappear and the superfluous water leaves the body. Then normal, active cells take the place of those sluggish cells that were fattened with indolence and inaction. The quick loss in the weight of the body is a sure sign of regained health and vigor. This fact should fill the heart of a man with joy and happiness. For those nutrients immediately spread throughout his body and grant him health, strength, vigor and energy. It is the first time in his life that although all his organs and glands obtain a most copious supply of nourishment, they are able to work in comfort and ease. Even if on that day, he takes a greater quantity of raw food than his organism requires, or his intestines and cells are able to absorb, his stomach will not refuse it, nor will it generate in him a feeling of nausea, causing him to expel it with violence and force. The foodstuffs in excess of his normal needs will not stay in the stomach to cause putrefaction; they will not be turned into poisons or bring about any digestive disorders. Instead, without undergoing digestion they will at once pass form the stomach into the intestines and will then leave the body with the faeces on that very day, not having caused the least harm to the organism. Thus, his stomach will always be light, while his intestines and his blood will be loaded with fully-balanced nutrients. Then in such a moment, let him just try to eat a few morsels of cooked food. His stomach will indignantly refuse those strange and unwanted substances. In spite of the extreme pleasure that his palate feels, those morsels will lie in his stomach for a long time, they will act as a stopper to close his appetite and will paralyze the normal course of his digestive activities. But a cooked-eater is quite contented and happy with that condition, because he has satisfied his passions, he has stuffed his stomach and is now "full." The man who realizes the value of raw-eating dreads that condition. He fully comprehends that it is the raw vegetable nutriments that nourish the body, while the dead corpses that come out of the fire are mere fuels, and sources of various poisons and diseases. Human Nourishment Should Consist of Living Cells and Not Corpses of Dead Cells Fully-balanced foodstuffs consist of living cells. Now vegetable bodies, after leaving the earth, remain alive for a long time. A rosebud continues to blossom in a vase, while grains sprout on being planted years after they are gathered. But the cells of animals that are killed or those of milk that is removed 19 Raw Eating from their bodies die at once, and then they begin to disintegrate and tarn into poisons, while cooking converts them into something really terrible. To regard animal proteins as superior to vegetable proteins is a most unfortunate error of judgment, a manifest proof of the short- sightedness of meat-worshipping biologists. If we admit that the animal organism transfers vegetable proteins and turns them into fully-balanced nutrients, then the flesh of those animals such as foxes, wolves, dogs, cats and tigers that feed on such "fully-balanced" proteins should be of the highest nutritive value; whereas the poisonous character of the flesh of such beasts is so obvious that even the most devoted meat addict does not dare to feed on it. Those biologists who are urged by their personal predilection to look for special advantages in meat, in discovering the so-called irreplaceable amino acids have not taken into consideration the act that those amino acids are formed from the commonest grasses consumed by animals By what rule of science has the organism of a cow the capacity to make amino acids from the meanest weeds and grasses, but the organism of a man has not the means to prepare the same compounds from vegetable foodstuffs of the highest nutritive quality? How do millions of Buddhists live in the absence of the amino acids provided by meat? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
