No I am simply giving my experience with various forms the diet over a period of years, and the experience of my gf who did it for 7 years. You seem to come back with some weird reponse for why every person that could not be healthy on that diet was not healthy..other than accepting that is is just not a diet that everyone is going to be healthy on and probably never will.

I never said it would not work for everyone. If it works for you than great. I am not you and many other people are not you.

How did I misrepresent it? I at least was able to give my OWN PERSONAL experience here, and not only talking about what other raw food authors are saying. I am simply representing my own experience and the experience of others close to me.

I am also the only moderator who has even posted in this thread as far as I know..so how do you come to the conclusion that there are 2 moderators with an agenda here?

To be honest you sound like you have more of an agenda here than anyone else.

It is good to challenge ideas. Dont take any of this personally..it is not personal. Ilex asked a question about the raw food diet on the first page and I responded..and then you responded and this became a discussion about the raw food diet..that is all. Should I not discuss my experience after years of being a strict raw vegan? I honestly feel like most of the people in that movement do just make up a lot of stuff that makes no real sense, and my own experience on the diet and watching others I love and care about on the diet just makes me think this even more. This is just my opinion. Sorry if you dont like it. I cant helo feeling that way at this point.

If you are happy with where you are than great. You should do whatever you feel is best, as should everyone else. I would never tell anyone they should not try raw food if that is what they really feel like doing. All I can do is offer my own experience. If personal experience that spans a number of years means nothing than w/e. Raw food is great, greens are great, sprouts are great..juice fasting is great..I just dont think thats all there is to being healthy at this point.
