Thanks RIP you are the saviour❤❤❤

Think this post is maybe what you refer. Natural Hygiene was taught by Natives to USA medical people & those teachings remained the law of the land up until the late 1800's when big pharma began to take over making Natural Hygiene unjustly obsolete until early 1900's when Herbert M. Shelton re-founded the orthopaedic practice at his health sanatoriums & by the 1950's he ran for potus, but big oil land grabs & big pharma swindles had a monopoly by then, also it was further corrupted by the liquor industry that had spiraled out of control as a drug of choice ever since the 1930's. So it is way past time to make Natural Hygiene a part of our daily lives again, as the once sober apple cart was upset too many times over the years by oppressive governmental inebriated addicts who have been increasingly abusing a once sound medical practice here in America for far too long. Here is my take on needed improvements for those who have yet them or even considered changing these corrupt current laws yet. Back around the 70's reagan began shutting down state hospitals to save taxes for the rich resulting in an ever increasing spiral of homeless street people & overcrowded prisons. Reagan was inebriated on his bubbly. That points to another mess up that occurred back in the 30's when they made alcohol their drug of choice as legal recreation & criminalized other intoxicants. Past time for a resolution to both these gross errors. 1- make all drugs & alcohol legal medically with supervision. 2-drug & alcohol test all law enforcement, politicians, educators & gun owners at their own expense, never as illegal recreation in use currently. Until those insane obsolete laws, rules & regulations are changed with appropriate resolutions the errors of the past will continue to escalate.

thats only because you stopped eating ultaprocess foods. It has nothing at all to do with some magical powers man-made fruits and vegtables have. We did not evolve eating those things, and almost all of those plants you eat dont even exist in nature. We are obligate carnivores. Id switch to a meat based diet, plus small amounts of fruit, before your health tanks from all those plants youre eating. People always do good on veganism short term, and its only ever because of the things they stopped eating. Inevitably after a while your body and mind start to break down. Its not our diet as humans, we are NOT herbivores. Just look at that state of Dr. Doug Graham. Hes a posterchild for not being vegan.

Are you still eating this way? I’m wondering how things are going now. I’ve just started it this month. I am 56 today.

I went to fast in Costa Rica 20 years ago...it was NOT a good experience. He had u drinking waaaay too much water. I got so thin and weak...passing out etc. He was not attentive or checking on us fasters...one faster died shortly after arriving home...He was arrogent..oh I could go on but won't. It's clear he has softened his attitude, likely due to lawsiut mutiple from family members of victims...I lost hair and its never come back to the thick mop I had...it's clear he's lost some of his cockiness....

⁠​⁠@@SallyNegusI understand. And I’m so sorry for your experience. I was there in 2005 and I did see a couple of the fasters and they looked emaciated. I hope you feel recovered and are now nourishing yourself. That’s my favorite word these days: Nourish!💗

I am definitely flabbergasted by this video and would love to learn more about the raw vegan diet. If what he said is true about the four "gens" in cooked plsnts, then that alone would make me seriously consider raw vegan diet.

he looks like death. huh??

Great quote

But why believe this chiropractor who makes a ton of money on his fad diet over Drs and Dietitians that use studies instead of anecdotes.

Excellent interview! I love fruit 🍎

Yes I believe so, how could he not. Doug indiscreetly called out all the advocates and ppl promoting the starches.

Cooked food is healthy, don't fall for this please!

@@Zenjohnny I think this is too simple, some foods do best with being cooked (potatoes, beans, lentils, mushrooms) and some better raw (paprika, leavy greens, cruciferous). I mix them up and try to keep as raw as possible the foods that benefit from this. I do love my starches though, i wonder what grade dr. Graham would give dr. J. McDougall :).

​@@11235Aodh why are we caring about what grade Dr Graham gives to others??? Lol 😂 who made him king of diets, I would give his diet a D. A meal of 12 bananas? Yikes

@@11235Aodh Paprika? A food?

@@searchlessrawdiet Also called bell pepper i believe.

Dr. Leila Denmark who treated over 250,000 kids with a faultless exemplary track record would never approve of a 80/10/10 diet or any other such non accredited nonsense based on a human stomach pH of 1.5.

@@beepbeepnj2658 oh well...i'm sure you can chase down a neighborhood dog and rip into it's jugular, tear open it's throat...wolf down its flesh and gnaw on its bones anytime you're hungry...as long as the neighbors don't get you first. Oh...and be sure to take home some bloody tidbits for the kiddos.

@@beepbeepnj2658 There is more to a human than stomach pH, fat and protein are both not healthy in excess, and over 10% is an excess. Fat is very bad for our cells and mitochondria and too much protein helps all the bad things grow when certain targets of amino acids are met (leucine, methionine, lysine).

@@betzib8021 I don't recall any human ever doing such a thing the way you have described. Where did you get this information from, a book or something else?

@@beepbeepnj2658 I was being facetious. Humans don't do that because meat...at least large amounts...are not what humans are designed for...they are designed for reaching..grasping...biting into something that tastes good with no cooking.

That would be interesting since his dad is always saying not to drink your greens. I think after watching this interview, Rip might end up being an excellent bridge builder between plant-based doctors.

@@cynthialenz yes agree! Would love to see Dr. G on here!

She eats raw. She states on her monthly Q&A with Chef AJ that she eats primarily raw.

She's amazing and high raw

My re-phrase here is that ‘this diet works well for very few people because VERY few people do it’, regarding the numbers. All animals in the wild do I must add. Personal experience best decides in the end when we can listen to the body on it, even for awhile... Are you yourself trying it out, any interest there? Or is the idea itself not for you? So glad we all have free will anyway, and are free ‘to do or not to do’. I met Doug Graham’s at a weekend retreat in the UK near 20 years ago and I find him as inspiring and elequent and as knowledgeable today as he was then. Thanks for being you Doug. And thanks for your book and easy audio📚

Agreed

you may make some available but lose so much more in comperison. all the heat sensitive vitamines are lost - including the most important - vitamin c

A lot of what Doug teaches is in fact supported by science. However, he has taken his anti-cooking to extremes. For microbiome, cooked whole grains and legumes are fantastic and you CANNOT feed certain kind of good bacteria in the microbiome solely with fruits and vegetables. To each his own, people are healthy and productive on all kinds of whole food vegan diets. Just avoid the overprocessed vegan foods like fake meats/TVP, oil, refined sugars, and cooking methods that produce advanced glycation end-products (AGE) and acrylamide and you should be fine. You can also watch a video by John Kohler from okraw who after 28 years has started to eat some cooked starches. Raw foods have tremendous nutrients and ability to block cancer, no one is doubting that. Its just that to completely condemn ALL cooked food is NOT supported by any science.

If Dr. Esselstyn doesn't embrace it , I won't either. He's one of the Papa's of plant based nutrition!

I wonder if the Okinawans cook their sweet potatoes by boiling or roasting?

@susan fabrican , boiling doesn't turn the starch to sugar which the body prefers, as per Dr. Arnold Ehret

@@jgrysiak6566 the body prefers that the starch be turned to sugar?

@@susanfabrican2244 , grape sugar, as Dr. Ehret talks about in his book!

@@jgrysiak6566 does baking turn the starch to sugar? Dr Greger recommends boiling potatoes

I thought the same thing!

That might be entertaining... I'd much rather a symposium where there are written things with scientific studies cited to back up each sides. "Debates" are rarely about truth, from what I've seen.

Doug Graham lives in Great Britain from what I’ve read somewhere.

What's your gripe, exactly? He said the best is fresh. He said if fresh is not available, frozen is the next best thing.

Same. I did Raw for 1 month.. fruit for breakfast salad for dinner...I was so tired of salad.. I did however feel my best eating that way.

Look discounts/ clearance in certain stores. In season will be cheaper. Also look for wholesale/ bulk stores near you. If one is in your area Restaurant Depot allows guest passes. Take a step back and look at expenses in other areas of life. Of course still do what is best for you right now and always work towards bettering

Thanks RIP for an informative interview. Doug, I like your passion about raw veganism!

if you have an Aldi in your area they have the best prices hands down of all markets ... and they usually have a sold out version of organic products, meaning the produce are always fresh because they sell out. Their salad greens mix organic is fab as well as organic grapes, carrots, cukes, tomatoes, etc.@@vanihansen2136

Exactly!!!

Agreed. I take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. If I’m going to listen to a chiropractor give me diet and health advice, it’s going to be Alan Goldhamer- who has fasted thousands of people and none of them died.

That made me chuckle!

I think we can agree that there are many people experiencing problems on the Sad diet, the keto diet, as well as the wfpb diet and even 80/10/10 diet...with some of these it is the diet, but often it is how the person is doing it.

@@leahspilchen590 Yep I agree, and also dealing with the detoxification process. One has to find ways to support the body whilst it releases a life-times worth of acidity as part of the journey. That doesn’t always feel good.

wtf?

@cesarhernandez-wv8oj If you watch the video, you will know who said it and why...this was me agreeing completely

I dont think the paste example is weak since potatoes and rice are used to make glue for a very long time

Dr. Arnold Ehret says sugar is the body's preferred fuel. He says potatoes roasted bring out the usable grape sugar that the body prefers!
