Synopsis

The Live Food Factor is the first comprehensive guide to not
only the raw food diet, but also the raw food movement itself. This diet is
sweeping America as people discover its power to not only make a body lean,
but also keep disease at bay and bolster the immune system to heal from
what are typically considered "incurable" diseases. Everyone who eats
should read this book!
This 520-page book contains four sections. Section one entails the benefits
of raw and includes a chapter that details ten good reasons to stop
cooking, as well as 17 personal testimonials. Section two has the science
and includes not only why raw food helps the body heal (as Hippocrates
said, "Let food be thy medicine") but also over 50 published studies
demonstrating the superiority of an uncooked diet, and in many cases, the
toxicity of a cooked one. This is a book that can be presented to the most
skeptic of all. Section three informs the reader of the history and modern
day leaders of the raw food movement. Section four is a complete "how-to"
manual. It tells you how to go raw and what to expect. It also includes 13
common pitfalls of beginning raw fooders as well as discussion of 16
controversial nutritional issues and answers 27 of the most frequently
asked questions. In Chapter 15 there are also over 60 raw recipes: gourmet
dishes such as raw desserts, entrees, soups, etc. The appendices document
how the food and drug companies keep us ignorant of true health. It also
summarizes radical branches of the raw food movement (such as the raw meat
eaters). In the back of the book is a useful resource section for raw
gourmet foods, kitchen devices, raw restaurants, and doctors/healing
centers familiar with the program.
