Anyone been on a Raw Food Diet?

Post by tcorbett »

Just curious. I have a friend who put their whole family on a raw food diet - some of her children were having issues with tonsils etc, her dh is doing his residency and saw way too many tonsilectomies. They are totally off dairy too.

Just wondering what others think and have tried.

Thanks! Theresa

stay warm and safe today - it's snowing again in Maine - I guess it's to be expected, we haven't had a real storm since Groundhogs day! lol

I think a raw food diet is impossible with MC given the fiber in uncooked fruits and vegetables, and the bacteria in uncooked meat! I suspect the removal of dairy has the most effect for people with chronic ailments.

For people with a healthy colon, probably very healthy, but with MC the worst thing you can do. :cry: :cry: :cry:

From what I read, you do cook your meats etc. It's the fruits and veggies that are raw, add nuts and seeds - sprouted. I am sure it would be harsh for now, but something that was interesting. THanks so much! T
