Seven Common Mistakes that Occur on Raw Foods
- by Victoria Boutenko of www.RawFamily.com
- We're getting lots of email about the subject this article addresses. Originally published May 28th, 2005 in chiDiet.com/news/.
1. Many raw fooders do not eat enough greens. Solution: Regularly consume energy soup or green smoothies to guarantee the proper amount of greens.
2. Many raw fooders do not consume enough fiber, soluble and insoluble. Solution: Drink more smoothies or energy soups instead of juices.
3. People on a raw food diet often consume too many fats. When they try to imitate cooked dishes they substitute starches with nuts. Solution: Use nut pulp left over from making nut mylks, use more seeds and less nuts, and use more fruit and vegetable pulp from juices in your mixtures, to minimize the consumption of nuts.
4. Raw fooders commonly try to become too perfect too fast. They don't give their bodies a chance to adjust to such a radical dietary change. Solution: Gradually adjust and purify your own individual diet to help you ease into the healthiest diet for you.
5. When people change their diets they usually decide the other components that make up health are no longer important, such as sunbathing, exercising, proper rest, fresh air, etc. Solution: Practice a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle.
6. People on the raw living foods diet often over-indulge in some particular foods and neglect the variety of other fruits and vegetables. Solution: Eat foods in reasonable quantities.
7. The biggest mistake raw fooders make is that they listen to the raw food authorities and don't trust the invaluable messages their own bodies communicate. Solution: Keep a diary of your daily food consumption and how it affects your well-being. (See "Keeping a Food Diary" at chiDiet.com/news/01102005.htm.)

[Editor's note: Item #6 is the most common problem I hear about. Most raw fooders, especially newbies, don't eat enough variety, and either get bored with the diet, or physically out of balance. Variety, variety, variety. There's not a leafy green in the produce department that I don't eat at least a bit of during the week. - Jim Carey.]
The Human Body Compared With Carnivores
Human - All teeth are flattened, especially the back molars. Dullest canine teeth of all primates.
Carnivore - Teeth are long, sharp and pointed. No flat molar teeth. Very sharp canine teeth.
Human - Intestines are at least 12 times as long as the trunk of the body and an integral part of the most sophisticated juice extractor in the world: the human digestive system.
Carnivore - Intestines are 3 times as long as the trunk of the body. Their design facilitates rapid expulsion of fleshy matter.
Human - Bowel walls are puckered, convoluted and full of deep pouches for the reconstitution of waste matter.
Carnivore - Bowels are smooth and short for quick expulsion of waste matter.
Human - Saliva is alkaline. It contains ptyalin, an enzyme specifically designed to break down starchy carbohydrates.
Carnivore - Saliva is acidic. Carnivores have industrial strength digestive juices in comparison to human digestive juices.
Renata on Raw (repost from August 22, 2007)
In the last newsletter I mentioned how the skin helps to eliminate toxins from the body. The skin is actually the largest elimination organ of the body. On average it weighs about 9 pounds.
Considering the skin’s importance we can give it a little help to make its life easier and its appearance radiant and healthy with hardly any financial expenditure. It takes only a simple natural brush and a mere few minutes a day to brush your skin towards the exuberant glow. By removing the dead skin cells, you will facilitate the opening of the pores for an easy exit of the toxins such as uric acid crystals.
Be gentle with yourself in the beginning, you have the rest of your life to practice this detox regimen. Start at the bottom of your feet, proceed to the legs, arms (lift them) and brush towards your colon in a circular fashion. Back, abdomen and chest need your loving attention as well. The women want to brush around their breasts. The procedure takes about 2 -5 minutes and will highly increase the efficiency of your lymphatic system.
If you ever had a lymphatic drainage massage you know how good you felt afterwards. If not, you might just want to make an appointment with your massage therapist and experience the lightness after such an treatment.
Every skin brushing needs to be followed up with a shower to clean away the debris. Natural soaps are the best. Please avoid those fancy shower gels, shampoos and whatnot. Have you read the labels lately? Chemical concoctions at their best. My motto is: If I can’t pronounce it I don’t want it on my skin or to ingest it.
The skin is a two-way road. What you put on your skin gets into your body. Likewise, what is in your body comes out via the skin. I am really careful with skin care products. Often, the best skin care products are right in your raw kitchen such as an avocado, coconut oil or the moist skin of a peeled cucumber.
Avocado helps to ease dry skin on your heels, organic coconut oil gives your whole body a luxurious, tropical richness, and the peeled cucumber skin feels cooling on your face, especially for us in the south experiencing the 100 degree heat.

Slice a cucumber, mince a tablespoon of mint, measure 1 1/2 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/4th teaspoon crushed garlic. Toss it all together, chill and serve with a dash or cumin and pepper! EASY!

Subject: The pH Miracle for Cancer
Last night we had our first successful teleconference call on the pH Miracle for Cancer. We answered many important questions concerning the cause or origin of cancer. The following is a summary of last nights lecture.
First, we must understand that cancer is NOT a sickness or disease but an effect or symptom of metabolic acids and catarrh that has built up first in the blood and then thrown off into the tissues. I am simply suggesting that cancer is not a mutation of the cell but an acidic liquid that spoils the cells that make up our tissues and organs.
When we are dealing with any symptom we need to look at the cause. The "New Biology" explains the cause and effect relationship of ALL sickness and disease.
For example, enervation and muscle weakness per se is not a disease but an effect of metabolic acids that have not been properly eliminated through urination, defication, respiration, or perspiration. Weakness, or lost electrical power, is not a disease, but, by causing a lagging of the eliminaton of acidic tissue waste the blood becomes charged with acids.
When the blood is charged with acids that have not been properly buffered or eliminated through normal channels they are thrown out into the colloidal connective tissue. This is what causes the one disease -- latent tissue acidosis. What current medical savants call disease or cancer are the symptoms or effects produced by a forced vicarious elimination of metabolic acids thorugh the mucous membranes.
At first, I postulated that a virus, bacteria, yeast or mold must be the general cause of disease. Then I discoverd that it was not a virus, bacteria, yeast or mold but the body becoming enervated. But, enervation is not a disease, disease must be due to metabolic acids. Through many years of reserach I learned that localized or systemic acidosis or latent tissue acidosis is the true cuase of all disease and must be autogenerated. And if disease is due to autogenerated acids, what is the cause of that autogeneration? The answer is found in the understanding that our body is in constant need for energy and energy is constantly being consumed to properly function. Because we are consuming energy to think, breath and move we are also generating an equal amount of metabolic acids as a waste product of that energy consumption. I realized that if these metabolic waste products or acids from energy consumption were not properly eliminated through urination, respiration, perspi ration or defication they would be thrown out into the tissues to protect the blood and to be eliminated by the lymphatic system. And, when the lymphatic system was unable to eliminate the acids from the tissues due to lack of excercise and proper alkaline hydration this was when the body began to spoil and rot. Just like a banana.
In a few words, without acid there can be no sickness or disease and there can be NO CANCEROUS TISSUE! It is also true that without acid there can be NO PAIN! Therefore acid equals pain and pain equals acid or acid equals cancerous cells and cancerous cells equals acid.
I had discoverd that metabolic acids are first retained by the blood and then in the tissues when there is a checking of elimination. Enervation causes a checking of elimination! The cause of ALL sickness and disease including all cancerous tissues are NOW FOUND! Enervation checks elimination of the metabolic waste products --acids. Retention of metabolic acids in the tissues is the first and the only cause of sickness and disease and ALL cancerous tissues.
After twenty-five years of blood research I had now learned that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic by function. When we become enervated from poor lifestyle and dietary choices we begin to retain metabolic acids in our tissues and organs and begin to spoil and die. When we make alkaline lifestyle and dietary choices we begin to properly eliminate the metabolic acids from our tissues and organs and we can then live a long and healthy life free from all sickness and disease including the symptoms of cancerous tissue.
In summary of the questions discussed last night in our teleseminar I present to you the following short answers to some very important questions:
1) What is Cancer? Cancer is an acidic liquid from metabolism that spoils and ferments the human cell.
2) Is cancer a mutant cell? NO. Human cells do not mutate they transform and adapt to their environment.
3) Is cancer caused by a virus, bacteria, yeast or mold? No. A virus, bacteria, yeast or mold are biological transformations of what use to be organized healthy matter. Germs are not the cause of disease but the evidence of an over-acidic environment.
4) What is the number two cause of death in women? This would be cancerous breast tissue. When the blood is charged with metabolic acids that have not been properly eliminated they are thrown out into the fatty tissues. When acids are thrown out into the fatty breast tissue this causes spoiling of the breasts. To prevent the spoiling of the breasts the body buffers these acids with calcium causing breast stones or micro-calcifications. If the spoiling continues the body will encapsulate the rotting tissue forming a tumor to protect the healthy tissue. Calcifications and tumor formation is the body's way of protecting itself and the healthy tissue from toxic metabolic acids.
5) What is the cause of prostate cancer? Prostate cancer is a condition of systemic acidosis that has localized in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is the spoiling or rotting of the prostate gland form over acidity. There is no other cause.
6) Is cancer a noun or an adjective? There is no such thing as a cancer cell -- there are only acidic or cancerous cells. The word cancer does not explain the true nature of the cell and what is happening. Cancer is an adjective not a noun. Cancer is something we do not something we get!
Cancerous tissue is an expression of poor acidic lifestyle and dietary choice. For example, if you smoke the acids from the smoke will spoil your lungs giving rise to cancerous lung tissue. If you eat acid sugar it will spoil your breasts or prostate. If you eat meat the acids (nitric, uric, suphuric and phosphuric) from meat will spoil and rot your bowels giving rise to cancerous bowels.
7) Are tumors good or bad? Tumors are good and are helping to protect healthy cells and tissues from cancerous or spoiled rotting cells and tissues. Just like one rotten apple will spoil a bushel of apples so one rotten acidic cell will spoil a bushel of healthy cells. To stop the spoiling of cells from metabolic acids the body forms a turmor and encapsulates the spoiled cells as a protection for the healthy cells.
8) What role does the lymphatic system play in cancer? The lymphatic system is responisble for moving excess acids in the tissues out through the pores of the skin through perspiration or back into blood circulation to be eliminated through urination.
We look forward to our teleseminar next Thursday night at 6 pm Pacific time when we will be answering the following questions:
1) Where does cancer begin?
2) Does diet and lifestyle have anything to do with cancer?
3) Is cancer preventable and if so how do we prevent it? And,
4) If I have cancer can I reverse it naturally?

Beth and Dr. Jim discuss the value of eating Organic, the toxins in our bodies and how we get rid of them, the importance of good water, and in the kitchen segment they make dehydrated crackers, fruit and other goodies. Excerpts from GrassyRootsTV.com.
“What every Raw Fooder Should Know about Nuts,” by Thomas E. Billing: http://rawfoods.com/articles/nuts.html
I’m sure all vegetarians, vegans and raw vegans hear the question, "but where do you get your protein?" more than any other. Victoria Boutenko describes it very well in her award winning book Green For Life.
1. Professor T. Colin Campbell shows in his book, The China Study , that the U.S. RDA for protein is greatly overestimated.
2. If we maintain a variety of greens in our diet, we will cover all essential aminos in abundance.
3. One pound of kale has even more protein than is recommended by the USDA per day.
4. The lack of research on the nutritional content of greens has led to a great confusion among the majority of people, including many professionals.
5. Dr. Joel Fuhrman wrote in his book Eat to Live, "Even physicians and dietitians... are surprised to learn that... when you eat large quantities of green vegetables, you receive a considerable amount of protein."
6. When we eat animal protein we have to break down these complex protein chains that have been built to the specification of a cow or a pig and rebuild them in the chains that we require for our own body. This is like getting a second hand dress and trying to tear it apart and remake it the way we want it. Or like using someone else’s protein molecules, literally. Plant proteins found in fruits, vegetables, and especially in greens, on the other hand, are in the form of individual amino acids which our body can use to build the perfect protein chains for our unique DNA. It is like using brand new materials to make our dress. Doesn’t that just make perfect sense!

Dr. Ann Wigmore states in her book, Be Your Own Doctor
“The ‘water of life’ is found in abundance in watermelons, and they will prove to be the safest means of cleaning the body’s waste, while at the same time providing nourishment. Watermelon is a wonderful aid for the person with an acid condition, as it helps balance the body to becoming more alkaline.”
So, why spend your money on vitamin pills and other concoctions for cleansing your body if you can have the detox elixir via the delicious watermelon juice? The juice is so refreshing, sweet (you might want to add some water if your body reacts to concentrated sugar) and soooo tasty, it is the REAL THING, for pennies to a glass.
Once in a while I drink only watermelon juice for a few days. It does wonders to my skin, to my overall well-being and to my grocery budget as well.
However, if this does not inspire you to go out and get a watermelon, you might want to see what else you can do with a watermelon: click at the link to check out watermelon art, amazing - www.rawbc.org/articles/watermelon_art.html.
