Is The Raw Vegan Diet Safe?
by Jinjee Talifero
People ask me "Is this diet safe"? How am I supposed to know if this diet is safe! The government's recommended diet for the past hundred years has just been proven to be unsafe! Nobody really understands food and diet. It is like trying to understand God, or the human brain. It is just too complex. Millions of elements, nutrients, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, chemicals, complex cells, functions, and variables are involved when food enters the body and is assimilated for the continuance of your life! Science is a relatively new study. Medicine and science have replaced the church as the new powers that be. Power corrupts. Therefore medical and scientific studies are biased to support the powers that be. So on top of being one of the most complex and complicated studies in the world, science and medicine are furthermore hindered by the forces of money, greed, and power. Therefore we the people are seeking to find Truth through a web of complexity, deceit and corruption that is almost impenetrable.
If you are looking to science and medicine for the answers, you will learn some things, but unless you study enough to be able to see through the agendas of the various special interest groups, you will just be confused. My friend wrote me yesterday that she had lost 50 unwanted lbs. and become vibrantly healthy on the raw vegan diet with the help of our ebook, but then was talked into eating meat by her doctor, and had gained it all back and was again suffering from various discomforts that had plagued her previously. She was confused. She was looking for some kind of scientific proof that she would be OK without meat. Sorry. They don't put any money into that sort of scientific testing. The fruit growers don't make enough money to fund these types of tests, and they won't until McDonald's comes out with McFruitBurger.
And what perplexed me most is why this person didn't just go with their own personal irrefutable test results! They had experienced vibrant health! They were told by some fat sick doctor to go back to a bad diet. They went back, they feel worse, but they are trapped by the doctor's knowledge, training, and propaganda that the doctor was taught in order to support his industry and its backers! Why don't we trust our own experiences!!!? Why do we prefer to trust what is written by science on pieces of paper!!!? I don't understand this! Maybe it is like when a child learns a new word and wants to say that word over and over again. Science is fairly new to humanity. So we want to focus exclusively on science. It is our new toy.
When we learn to trust our own thoughts, feelings, insights, intuition, and experiences, when we take time to do the math, when we learn to connect the dots, when we take a minute to connect with ourselves, and with our Creator, then maybe our world will be in balance again!
