Nutrition: Just How Necessary Is It?

[The_Raw_Ranwoken]

Hello everyone, I'm a long time lurker, and this is my first post! I'm a twenty one year old male who's been raw for about five months. I switched overnight, hoping to cure an unknown ailment. Results have been... inconclusive, as far as the ailment is concerned, everything else has improved quite a bit (in other words, it's a decision I'm still very happy that I made). Now I'm wondering what you all think of something, It's about nutrients. Just how necessary do you think they are? Now the reason I ask is this story I found. I read it in a book originally, but for your convenience, I'll link to the excerpt:

So what do you think? Now, if this story is true, I think it could show us something that a lot of people could be missing. If a man can eat a diet of nearly nothing (probably cooked nothing) and still maintain a vigor that no other man in his position came even close to having, well, couldn't that say something about the necessity of nutrients? What if love is more important than anything we could ever write down about, "health?" You know I see so many people fighting about what's healthy, and I ask myself, "just how much does it really matter?" What went into Wild Bill's mouth didn't seem to matter so much as what came out of his heart. That love seemed to create a health that no food can recreate.

I would tend towards thinking how much more amazing he would have been if he'd eaten a raw diet.

Love is very powerful - negative and positive. Raw food is wonderfully grounding. That's my tuppence fwiw

This is kinda like saying - "attitude is everything". It also kind of reminds me of the book "The Four Agreements" where one of the "agreements" is "Do Not Take Anything Personally". I like this advice and it's helped me out a ton. Will Bill was like this too - even the people who killed his family...he didn't take it personally.

However, raw food is so important to me that I just can't live off of the good advice of "attitude is everything"; "keep smiling"; "forgive" etc... I need these mantras ALONG WITH a health promoting diet.

well i think that the raw food diet is what was intended for all of us when we were origanally made . so yes i think that we will be even better with both love faith and hope along with the raw food diet . read the story of the creation of the world and it plainly states that God gave to us both plants and seeds to eat . this didnt change until the flood came into view .

I didn't read the link (sorry it was really long), but I know that in some instances it can be almost impossible to even access love without removing the biological blockages. Such as in my case, I am way too numbed out to feel love on a diet that is too acidic, or messes with blood sugar and hormones, or whatnot. And if I eat wheat, or dairy, which I'm intolerant to, then I go into a psychotic suicidal state, where it is rare for me to even remember what love is! Instead I'm sobbing my eyes out and trying to create fight with all other people in such a state. So I think that a healthy diet helps you retain the feelings of love. It is about getting your body to a clear and functioning state, and removing the blockages

Nutrition is neccessary for all people, but not neccessarily nutrition from food. lt all depends on how a person lives and the stage of evolution they are at.

l don't suggest anyone try the sunshine diet. Only the higher powers can let a person know when they is ready for such a transformation.

l am saying no more about this. l don't want people getting funny ideas in their heads and trying to be heros.
