Deborah: >Zephyr lost all his appetite for weeks and was unable to try that high >raw fat diet, or any diet, for that matter. Plus, his liver was so >ravaged that he could have been seriously, possibly fatally, >challenged to metabolize the proteins and lipids. It was only after >he began recovering, and/or after taking drugs, that his appetite >returned. The first foods he craved after his appetite returned were >fruits and vegetables, NOT high fat RAFs -- it's been only during the >past week or so that he's been enjoying very fatty RAFs. Aajonus seemed well aware of Zephyr's condition - I am not sure how, it was not the through the raw-food archives - and expressed that he would have known how to heal his liver. I will ask Aajonus when I see him again in a couple of months what he would have done in such a situation. My guess is that he would have recommended minute amounts of the butter/honey mixture administered under the tongue throughout the day. If you or Zephyr contact him by phone or by email, I am sure he would be happy to give you his best opinion. Peter: >>- In the last twenty years or so he has been recommending RAF to >>hundreds of clients who have not encountered any problems with >>parasites. Deborah: >I guess if he's never seen it happen, that means it cannot happen. >This is not good science, but it is good fundamentalist provincialism. I do not think that Aajonus would mind this description as he does not seem to have many scientific aspirations. There is, however, some science to back up his work - a good place to start would be to do a search on Medline on Horrobin's work on the healing effects of fats on cancer. Hilliard Sumner's work in Woodland Hills, CA and Stig Erlander's work in Alta Dena, CA also corroborates Aajonus's findings of the healing properties of raw fats and Leslie Kenton - the veteran, raw food advocate from England is also in support of Aajonus's program. If one, as I, chooses to entertain the thought that his track record could quite possibly be as impressive as it is presented, I find it very difficult not to give his diet some serious consideration. >Best of luck, and beware the search for the holy grail. There are many pitfalls on the path I agree but I would like to believe that my ever inquisitive mind will render me immune to the worst of them. However, if I start proselytizing Aajonus's program in militant NFL-type fashion claiming, while the parasites are eating away at my system, that they are just cleansing out my body, I trust you will tell me it is time to chill out.:-) Best, Peter [log in to unmask]
