Thoughts about Aajonus Vonderplanitz's books

November 1, 2005

Hi! Just came across the 2005 version of " We Want to Live " by Aajonus

Vonderplanitz. His earlier version seems to have rave reviews, but

before I purchase it, was wondering if any of you had read any of his

books and what you thought of them?

TIA!

Hmm, why did you stop and how do you feel about it now? I think he's very

eccentric and in his books he makes statements without backing them up

scientifically. I'm not convinced that everything he says is right, but I find

it hard to disbelieve the power all that raw food and raw juicing must have

against terminal cancer cases. If I had cancer, I would definitely go more raw

and juice daily.

I think there is more to this than meets the eye and I hope that someone that is

more scientifically oriented will become a beacon for other's to follow because

I think many are turned off by the lack of science. People come to me who have

cancer and ask me about where to get raw milk and what to do. I admit I tell

them about Aajonus. I personally know a lady who's cancer has halted because of

eating his way and my dental hygienist (who cured me of gum disease naturally

when the mainstream guys said it couldn't be done) works under him and learns

from him. He claims incredible success with people sick with cancer including

himself.

WAPF says we should eat a certain percentage of food raw. Does anyone know what

that is? I know that Sally Fallon praised being able to eat some raw meat

dishes while in Europe. I think raw food has an important place in the diet and

maybe even more so for sick individuals. I personally try to eat foods like

sushi, ceviche, etc. I also try to eat raw salads just to try to get the raw in

there (goes back to that question about whether to eat lettuce or not). I also

drink raw milk, cream and butter. I also put raw eggs in a daily shake. I also

of course eat lots of raw fruit. On a daily basis I think about whether I've

eaten very much raw food for the day and consciously try to fit that in. I also

feel much better/more energy when I do that. Not that I eat all raw of course.

I do eat WAPF, but with as much raw as I can muster, which is difficult to do.

<<Hmm, why did you stop and how do you feel about it now?>>

i'll preface with why i started. i'm self treating for cfs. i had done alot of

supplements prior to starting the diet and they didn't improve my health. i had

a strong intuition about aajonus and had remembered seeing him on tv many years

ago. the diet seemed to correct the damage that taking too many supplements

inflicted on me.

the best thing about aajonus is not the diet, but that he is an amazing

iridologist. he gav me by far the most accurate health diagnosis i have ever

received. he found i was loaded with mercury, which i already had a suspicion

about. but he also pinpointed the parts of my body where the mercury was stored.

why did i stop? i felt a point of diminishing returns. and i was becoming very

unbalanced. aajonus' tragic flaw is that he doesn't give much credence to any

therapy outside his realm of expertise. i began doing liver cleansing after i

stopped the diet and realized this was a much more effective way to detoxify...

at least the liver. i think the diet has its place, but aajonus was very closed

minded about the liver cleansing. i tried to educate/convince him that it was

possible to pass stones from the liver and he insisted that it was waste from

the intestines. i told him that i had been detoxing for many years before i met

him and nothing resembling green floating crystals had ever come out of me. long

story short, he is a fairly closed minded person although his diet it certainly

a notable contribution to alternative health. i also think he projects a bit of

his problems onto others, i.e. he claims he is unable to produce stomach acid so

all meat must be raw. i have no problems with cooked meat and actually feel

better with it.

incidentally the detox reactions on this diet can be horrendous, life or death

earth shaking experiences. i think this is why alot of people bail on it.

Hi Ann,

" It is no crime to be ignorant of economics,

which is, after all, a specialized discipline

and one that most people consider to be a

'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible

to have a loud and vociferous opinion on

economic subjects while remaining in this

state of ignorance. "
