Re: Fresh, Raw Foods (was to Donna K.)

Art,

>Multi-enzymes with every meal unless it is all fresh foods! Partially

digested food creates God-awful toxins and both get in the blood stream.

Just a note lest the impression get created that all fresh, raw foods are

always the best and don't require enzyme supplementation if ingested in

preference to cooked foods. The fact that the enzymes are intact in raw

foods may not be enough to ensure their optimal digestion. And as you

state, like everything else, they, like other foods, are only best if they

can be digested completely. What most people overlook is that whenever the

liver function is disrupted, the body's enzyme levels can be insufficient to

break down raw foods completely and they will actually require the

assistance of light steaming along with supplementation while therapies are

being undergone to decongest the liver.

Chang at http://www.sensiblehealth.com makes this very clear in her

consultations. She recommends avoidance of raw foods and citrus in certain

cases where the liver is congested to the point of affecting the spleen and

the thyroid function, until they have responded to the decongestion

therapies.
