>Could you say a bit more about Shelton? Did he have >a neurological disease? Hi Carol - yes, he suffered from Parkinson's disease "in the 1960's until his needless death in 1989." The quotation is from a Dr. Bernar Zovluck posting to Rawlife. I never realized he was afflicted for 20+ years. You might also check out an old Health & Beyond issue, an interview with Dr. Vivian Vetrano, Vol.4, No.3 (July 1996), describing Dr. Shelton's two long fasts she supervised herself to address the disease (unsuccessfully): http://chetday.com/backissues.html I may have a PDF file of that issue hanging about. If I find it I'll send it to you. >Is Diamond enthusiastic about RAF? Here's a Chet Day article with a short interview blurb which describes his current choices. He doesn't mention whether it's raw or cooked but I suspect from his Hygienic background that it's more likely raw than not: http://www.chetday.com/healthgurus.htm Cheers, Jo --
