Research Proposal

[maggiesdaddy]

As many of you know I am a clinical psychology major. For many of my classes I write research papers or research proposals.

It got me thinking about the lack of research done on raw food and I was wondering what kind of research you guys wish was out there about raw food!

Seems to me that research of any kind would help when it comes to raw food. The way it was explained to me, there is much, much less money to be made studying the benefits of, say, broccoli than some new multivitamin some corporation wants ti put on the shelves. So, to me, any studies, besides personal experiences, that prove what raw foods can do for the body would be beneficial in many ways, namely making raw food more appealing on a mainstream level. Folks just don't seem to understand that if onion bread from my dehydrator, green smoothies and salads tasted like crap, I wouldn't be eating raw food, that I eat it because it tastes good! Short term testimonials and dramatic healing testamonials seem to be easy enough to find, when a person has dramatic changes happen to their body after a short time of being on raw food. But what about long term? What about this rumor of one staying raw more than ten years, that it just doesn't happen. What's that all about? Again, any substantiated, independent research on raw food seems to be a step in the right direction!

I just saw another great movie about the benefits of RAW and the proper diet. "The Beautiful Truth". It shows the benefits of the research done by Max Gerson and the Gerson Institute. There has not been a lot of research since there is no money in health, just health care.
I believe for change it is going to take people like us that are taking responsibility for our health and spreading the word. Once it becomes more mainstream, then monies hopefully, will be allocated for the research.

Hi MD!! I would like research on why and how raw food helps the body heal itself of the many so-called diseases that we always read about, ie; cancer, arthritis, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc.

Is it the enzymes found in the living foods.....or is it the omission of all the other stuff..the SAD. It seems that when I added raw to my diet, I felt a little better for 2 yrs. But when I omitted everything in the SAD, and eat 100% raw only, I feel sooooo much better. Would love for you to research that and let us know. Thanks in advance.

Peace, Bonnie
