"... The reason the 100% Raw Food Diet is the greatest diet in the world is because you leave out everything that could make you ill and only keep in the best of foods.
It is critically important to understand that what you leave out of your diet completely without cheating is the way to ultimate health. What you don't eat is actually more important than what you do eat.
I don't care if you eat Raw Foods until you are blue in the face. You are not going to fully heal unless you eliminate the cause, which means omitting certain foods from your diet. ..."

David Wolfe Unleased Part 4 "... do the best you can... if it's 80%... then eat 80%... 'all or nothing is dangerous... let the dead bury the dead... they can't tax your garden.. you can't 'accidentally' eat their food..."

Transitioning to Raw Many personal observations about the rewards, challenges and questions about going raw. "... We were raw in Seattle for nearly 2.5 years. Easily, even in the cold climate. We came to Florida and began eating again. Then, after a year or so of being sick for the first time in so many years -- we decided to go back. We have been back for almost 2 months now. It was MUCH harder to do it the second time around. MUCH harder. The first time we quit COLD TURKEY. I think that is best. People who are 80% or 90% or 100% get bothered with cravings and that is the most difficult part to overcome. Once your body rids itself of all of the mucoid plaque, yeasts, parasites, etc... (and we ALL have all of the above) then the cravings suddenly stop and you look at cooked food like play dough - it just seems impossible and so ridiculous to eat! The explanations sounds absurd -- but if you experience it you will understand...."
