Healed by a Raw Food Diet

We’ve come to the final installment of our three-part interview with Susan Schenck, author of The Live Food Factor. (Please read Parts 1 and 2, and don’t forget to enter our giveaway of Susan’s book.)

Have people really been healed from disease from a raw food diet? Could you share an example from someone you’ve met?
Studies at various clinics have shown that by eating 80-85% of your calories raw, most people can avoid degenerative diseases. People using a 100% raw food diet have even been able to reverse disease. Entire books have been written by people sharing their stories of healings using a raw food diet—healing from diabetes, colitis, various types of cancers, asthma, thyroid conditions, obesity, AIDs, hepatitis, and more.

Some of the people I have met or connected with in the raw food movement have incredible testimonials that should be all over the front pages of newspapers, but aren’t because the media depends heavily on drug companies for advertising. Victoria Boutenko, for example, was healed of arrhythmia and her husband of hyperthyroidism. Their son was cured of juvenile diabetes and their daughter of asthma. After just a few months on the diet, they were all going on extended hikes, bursting with energy!

Reverend George Malkmus healed himself of colon cancer…David Klein defeated colitis…Roe Gallo conquered a highly allergic sensitivity to the 20th century chemicals…Lou Corona healed from a head tumor…Dr. Lorraine Day reversed breast cancer…Angela Stokes lost 159 pounds… Jenny Smith no longer sleepwalks. The list goes on and on.

I myself was told that I would always struggle with hepatitis C, and haven’t at all since going raw. Also the minor health nuisances disappear or greatly diminish, such as herpes, constipation, athlete’s foot, jet lag, dandruff, dry skin, gray hair, etc.

Where can our readers get your book and learn more about you?
You can get my book at Barnes & Nobles, Amazon, small bookstores, all the usual places. But the best place is my website because I offer a $5 discount plus over 70 downloadable bonus gifts such as ebooks, mp3s, reports, etc. It is at www.livefoodfactor.com/specialoffer. To learn more about me you can read my whole health story in Chapter 3 of the book.

Anything else you’d like to add?
The first edition of The Live Food Factor won an IPPY award (2007). The second edition is revised, updated, and expanded with health educator Victoria BidWell, PhD. It won a Reader Views award (2009). The book has gained a reputation as being the raw foods bible or encyclopedia.
Getting the word out about the raw food diet has been the greatest joy of my life. When I do lectures, I often run into readers who tell me that this book changed their lives.
