Hi Barbara,

you asked:

>a lesser intensity when they do?

First of all, problems are less likely to occur. Second, if there is
a problem, e.g. you have cut your finger with your kitchen knife, then
there is the immediate pain when you cut and shortly afterwards it is
over. Also the pain is not so strong as with "normal" nutrition.
With cooked nutrition there's lots of pain afterwards, known as "wound
pain". Also cuts and injuries are very likely to inflame, while on raw
they do not, provided you are in good balance.

The theory says, that the immune system goes crazy with cooked nutrition
and if it cares for a wound is hindered from fullfilling its job by
its own crazy behavior. Then it is doing too much: it inflames the own
tissues, pain is produced.

I know some instinctos here who have let some dead teeth pulled without
any narcotics. They report, that of course there is the immediate pain
when the tooth is being pulled, but they can handle it. And when the
tooth is pulled, the pain decreases quickly to zero.

Best instinctive wishes,

Stefan
