They think that unless someone is living in a very warm climate, raw food is bad for the digestive process.
I am new to raw foods, and I do have a deficient spleen, but so far, I find that eating raw foods is easier on my digestion than the cooked foods I used to eat. So, we'll see. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
