5.0 out of 5 stars
From a former vegan of 5 years..., December 23, 2003
This review is from: We Want to Live (Hardcover)
This is an amazing book. I read it back in 1997 after I attended a lecture by the author. Although I was vegan for 5 years and vegetarian for 2 years before that, I switched immediately to this diet. And that's the surprising part because I was so against meat eating on both a social basis as well as health basis. You would never catch me reading anything by an author who recommended any other type of diet because I was certain of my beliefs. So there I am walking by a seminar room in a shopping center back in 1997, and notice a sign describing a talk by Aajonus. For a laugh, since it sounded so absurd, I decided to pop in and listen for a few minutes. For the next hour, he described what he had been through in terms of his health challenges and what he did to overcome them. I walked out of there a different person and have stayed on the diet for over six and a half years from that day. When I really think about it, this philosophy really is an extension of being a vegan/vegetarian. Vegans know that animal products are bad for the body, but the distinction here is that cooked meat, pasteurized milk/cheese/butter and cooked eggs are what is bad for you. In their raw form they are extremely healthful, and I have had nothing but major improvement in my health eating this way.

This book will make you think long and hard about your diet, July 27, 2001
This review is from: We Want to Live (Hardcover)
This book explains thoroughly the effects of processed food, cooking and nutrition. I dont agree with Mr. Vonderplanitz on Vitamin Pills but otherwise his book is very interesting. Readers of this book will be exposed to ideas well outside the mainstream. Whether they accept it or not is up to them to analyze for themselves. The book is engagingly well written. Half of it is in a Novel Format where Mr.Vonderplanitz explains how he has been affected by foods. Like him curing his son of a terminal illness, or him curing himself of a whole range of "incurable" diseases.

Improved My Health Tremendously, August 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: We Want to Live (Hardcover)
My body was in dreadful shape after years of being a vegetarian and raw fooder. AV's approach to raw makes more sense than any raw food vegetarian diet. I have been eating raw chicken, beef, milk, butter, honey, etc. for over three years. My body is much stronger. I look better than all my friends my age. THANK YOU AAJONUS FOR THIS BOLD WORK!!
