Ifyc)u've picked up this btlt)k outofcuriosity,you '

ve probably
already heard som ething aboutthe healing and energizing
pow ers ofraw foods
Raym ond Francis,M .SC. R.N.C ,in his hook,NeverBe Sick
Again:Health is a Choice LeatwtHow to Choose Jf explains why
raw foods heal. Hum an disease m anifests in m any form s but
ithas only one underlying cause:cellular m alfunction.
Cellularm alfunction in turn has only two causes:deliciency
and toxicity. Since coeking yourfood destroys vitalnutrienta
and enzym es,the only w ay to give yourcells a)1the nutrients
they need and protectthem from substances thatare toxic or
unusable,is to eata dietthatis atleast 80% raw ,and 100%
whole and organic.
The evidence Raym ond Francis presents includes his own
recovery from near-fatalliverfailure and ehem icalhepatitis,as
wellas an inspiring look atthe healthiestpeoples on the
planet,including the disease-free Hunza people ofthe
H im alayas.
M any NaturalHygienists and colon therapists agree with
Raym ond. The naturally high fiber contentofraw foods is the
key to a healthy digestive system and colon,and therefore to
the ahsorption ofoptim um nutrition forevery cellin your
