Reviews

[Mia Campbell]

This was my introduction to raw food. I read it 30 years ago and have only just started applying it! That's not the fault of the authors though. This is a meticulously researched ad written book. Just enough science to make it convincing, not too much so it is still easy to understand! The recipes are good - I have tried many of them. I wish it had photos though, really like to compare my creations to the real thing - for the laugh!
Probably the biggest difference to my health has been from following the instructions in this book to try sprouting. I feel great eating a high raw diet (I'm at about 75% at the moment) but the sprouts make all the difference. When I don't have any available I only feel good, not great. Sprouts give me a zingy, energetic feeling that is hard to beat.
Highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of either simply incorporating more raw foods into their diet or of looking for a natural solution to a health problem.

I have read this book years ago and would like to read it again. It was extremely helpfully in healing after cancer and chemo.

This book should be "must read" in schools.
I you wanna look and feel fresh and young, read it and change your eating habits.
Stop eating dead food and you live longer!
