David Wolfe reports that typical raw vegan diets are deficient and often
fail (he is critical of natural-hygiene-style diets), but that raw vegan
diets with added supplements and (high priced) superfoods have a
better chance of success:

Of course, if raw vegan diets are "most natural" then one would not expect
to need supplements or superfoods on such diets. Wolfe is not alone in
pushing supplements and superfoods - Viktoras, Cousens and Clement/
Hippocrates promote them, even Ann Wigmore if you count wheatgrass
as a superfood.
