I really don't know what diet DW supports, because
it changes (what seems like) nearly daily; at least
what he proclaims to be the ideal. Who knows how
this guy really lives, and the only reason it's
mentioned here in the first place is because he's
the (self-proclaimed) leader of the RAW Food Movement.
I've never really thought of much of anything that

My understanding is that DW does eat ants as a "raw" source
of protein. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that
was true since this guy has been touting so many different
(and purportedly) miraculous, and supposedly "raw," things
for years.

1)Viruses and Bacteria are there for a reason, but they do
not directly cause disease; one's level of toxicity is
always the cause. Viruses and Bacteria may be part of one's
toxic load, but they aren't the sole cause of the toxic load.
2)STDs aren't "transmitted" at all; since you can't
transfer one's toxic load to another person. What

Before anyone takes anything above seriously,
I urge all here to take a few moments to study
the Theory of Toxemia.
It blows everything (above) out of the water
and reduces all arguments (above) to absurdity.
Not to mention that it is 100% consistent with
the science of Philosophy; unlike Germ Theory,
which has absolutely nothing to do with Reality
nor (unbiased) science, and

I'd like to see one documented case in human history
where a long-term, strict RAW Vegan has ever had B-12
deficiency... (I think the notion that we must add
external things to the human body, including man-made
synthetics, to create supposed "health" is what got us into trouble in the first place.) I

1)Yes, Man may have been eating meat for thousands of years,
but life started BILLIONS years of years ago and the DNA
of all living creates evolved over that period of time in
a RAW construct. It wasn't until man managed to handle

Long ago I wanted a Vita Mix. But rather than
spend $400 on a blender I reasoned that I could
get up to eight $50 blenders for the price of one
Vita Mix.
So I bought two $40 Black and Decker blenders and
I'm still using both of them. And they've each
been through a lot. So you can get workhorse blender
relatively cheaply. Maybe even one off Craigslist.org

I'll concede there are genetic predispositions
on what types of illnesses each SAD eater gets,
but the bottom line is that if a condition is
not caused then there will be no incidence or
occurrence in the first place. There is a reason
why cooked food causes health issues: it toxifies
the bloodstream.
No doubt, different populations have different
health habits than do others.

As long as this message board has been around there
have been participants on it who have been pretty
adamant in saying that the Human race has "adapted
to cooked food." Adapted to it? Really.
One needs look no further than SAD eaters obesity
adaptation; SAD-eater poor health adaptation; the
adaptation of nursing home residents; etc. The
results speak for themselves.

While I will agree with the first post (above) about
being able to accept ourselves (and others) for
our imperfections. No doubt, it is first through
acceptance of "what is" that fosters change to
take place. But acceptance and excuse-making
(and/or rationalizations) are not equivalent.
Nor ought they be. And that's why people think
they need "moderation": becaus

These problems and conflicts are internally-generated.
In other words, they're based on the way you think
about yourself. A change in thinking will result in
different behaviors and (subsequently) emotions that
correspond with those behaviors.
This is why "Faking it 'til you make it" works. Our
behaviors lead to what we feel. And, in reality,

Unfortunately, I'd say I have to agree with what is
written by others above: people are emotionally resistant
to healthy living. Resistant to change; resistant to the
unfamiliar; resistant to that which would make them happy/
healthy.
And even if you are eating RAW, you probably have
many of the same problems (i.e., emotional attachments)
as other people who are addicted to unhealt

It seems like every Raw event is different, and
that a lot depends on the location, the cost of
the event, and the nearby ammenities. These seem
to affect what type of people attend.

A healthier diet will help because you are doing something
healthy! And consistently doing healthy things is the BIG
difference between happy people and depressed people.
The happiest, most well-adjusted person I know was once
depressed and on meds herself, but she didn't allow her
depression to become her identity. And healthier actions
inevitably leads to having healthier thoughts

Diet helps with these issues to the extent that
healthy living (in whatever context) does affect
all areas of life. Acting health (in any context)
begets a healthier person.
However, I often see on this board an overreliance
on diet to cure emotional issues. And diet can
only help so much. Ultimately, a person must face
his/her fears and learn to overcome the emotional

To me, "RAW" is foods of human biological adaptation:
fruits, vegetables, nuts. That's it.
Everything else (from above) is blurring the lines
to one degree or another. Whether that is uncooked
plants (onions, garlic, spices, etc.) down to heavily-
processed ingestants/stimulants/despreesants; the
kinds of junky pills, potions, elixirs, etc. you'll

I think DW is subject to scrutiny here because he is so
(in my mind) anti-RAW. And then he makes a living on the
back of RAW food; when, in fact he's pushing something
else altogether which has (in my opinion) virtually
nothing to do with actual RAW FOOD. (But "RAW," I mean
fruits, vegetables, nuts.)
Granted, I've only heard DW speak 4 times. Yet, I've never

To paraphrase Morpheus from the movie "The Matrix,"
"Most people are not ready to be 'unplugged.' They
are so deeply inured by 'the system' that they will
fight to protect it."
And that's what you're facing with Raw Foods. A lot
of resistance from SAD eaters. Even Vegans and
so-called "Vegetarians" aren't often the most receptive
to a Raw diet either.

I too see the RAW psychology as one of two distinct mindsets.
One parallels the DW-world of supplements, "superfoods,"
algae, salt, garlic, etc. That is, the superstitious-
medical-mindset whereby Health is created by adding things
to body to "create" health; ala the drugs of the Medical
Establishment. And that germs/bacteria and other mysterious

I think the biggest problem confronting the Shadow in
today's world is that so much of what people do, think,

when, in reality, that's not the case. In other words,
we don't know what's healthy and why; so we really don't
know when the Shadow is at work or not.

In my mind, no paper about the healthful aspects of Raw Foods
can be the least bit thorough without some discussion about the
Theory of Toxemia (see link below) and how Raw Foods help enable
to blood to become (and stay) largely purified; whereas a buildup

And I couldn't stand grapefruit until I started putting

How do we do that? We block out our own internal REALITY!!!
We don't fully experience what's really going on, internally,
on an emotional basis. We alienate ourselves from our
own experience, and then we rationalize all that happens
to us without taking responsibility for the thoughts and
choices we make. That, in a nutshell, is essentially what
people do any time we act/think/feel so

Nevetheless, I think the point in the quote is

particular state of mind. But food gets the blame.
