Below follows extracts from several messages exchanged between Kirt &
Aajonus edited by me, Peter.

>>Hi, Kirt and Melisa!!
>>Thank you for the information. I will get in touch with Polarica on
>>Monday. I have the books Native Nutrition, Nutrition & Physical
>>Degeneration, and Pottinger's Cats. I have read Enzyme Nutrition.
>>Two years ago I became aware of Cromby. My girlfriend Veronique, a
>>98%raw-fooder, lives in Paris. Also, when I did a national TV talk
>>show,several instinctos called me and told me about Cromby and
>>instincto.However, I have not read any of Cromby's literature. He
>>mailed his brochure to me. How he got my name I don't know.
>>I tried an instintco-type approach, sensory appeal and mono meals, on
>>myown from 1973-1976. When I lived outdoors I saw that most omnivores
>>mixed their foods. Years afterward, since we are more like omnivores
>>than carnivores, I switched. I did much better after including
>>combinations, including sensory appeal. My patients have done much
>>better with raw-food sensory appeal/mixtures. The cure rate increased
>>from 40% to 95% for all conditions. I can't argue with my results.
>>However, most people have done better with raw-food mixtures simply
>>because it is easier for them to do, probably because that is to what
>>they are acclimated. It might be that because we were raised on
>>cooked/processed toxic mixed diets that to cleanse and heal properly
>>we might have to cleanse and heal on raw mixed diets. I understand
>>that the attrition rate for instincto is in the neighborhood of 98%.
>>Is that right. The attrition rate for my system is only 23%.
>>I have not been a dietary evangelist since I quit vegetarianism, as
>>you probably could surmise from my book. However, now that I feel
>>comfortable with 21 years of my present approach and its continual
>>high cure rate I have published my book and am easing into public.
>>It's a bit scary for me because I am such a private person and I
>>love private time.
>>My publisher is frequently exasperated with me. I have begun to do
>>public workshops, seminars, TV and radio talk shows. I will speak at
>>the Seattle and the Pasadena Whole Life Expos, once a day for all six
>>days. I am delighted to know about M2M; many of my clients have asked
>>about raw-food support-styled groups Sorry about the steep price for
>>the raw food product list, but that is what the Trustee of Optimal
>>Ways of Living Trust stipulated. As the number of orders increases
>>the cost of investigating and updating will lower the cost for the
>>product list, hopefully.

Kirt said:
>>I suspect that intincto-THERAPY as practiced in France would give the
>>best chance of recovery from serious diseas states, but that a
>>program similar to yours would have the best overall success. It
>>gives a more realistic (and thus inspiring) goal than instincto. That
>>is in part why I am so curious about your work. IMO (in my opinion),
>>instincto has much growing up to do...

Aajonus said:
>>>The attrition rate for my system is only 23%.

Kirt said:
>> This is truly stunning and exciting news!! How many people are we
>> talking about here? What raw/cooked ratios?

Aajonus said:
>>>About 3,000 people. Varies: approximately 20% adhere 95-100%,
>>>approx. 30% adhere 80-95%, 50% adhere 50-80%.

Kirt said:
>>Wow!! The folks on the raw-foods list need to hear these details as
>>much as I did! Perhaps you will share them with the list in time. I'm
>>tempted to share them myself, but really don't think I should speak
>>for you in any way, when you are very able to speak for yourself.

Kirt said:
>> Hmmm..very interesting. I'm assuming that you realize that

>>eating of single foods.

Kirt said:
>> That's what Bruno has mentioned to me as well.

Aajonus said:
>>>After an important youth and subsequent years eating cooked food,
>>>and receiving vaccines and medications, as I said in my book, most
>>>people will detox for the rest of their lives on any type of diet,
>>>raw or not. Those that don't detox well because of malnutrition
>>>progress toward degrees of disease.

Kirt said:
>>Yes, this makes good sense to me.

Kirt said:
>> Not at all! Impressive. Does this mean you were doing strict
>> instincto-therapy before? Or are you using the 40% figure from
>> somewhere else?

Aajonus said:
>>>Yes. During any six-month period the best average I could maintain
>>>was 90%. Then I would binge for weeks on mixed food. For instance,
>>>raw ice cream that I would make myself.

Kirt said:
>>We, too, find our salad mixing to be a fine thing to incorporate into
>>our style, and do not admonish ourselves any longer for mixing,
>>though instincto purists will sometimes admonish us. ;)

Best, Peter
