Our review:
As the author rhetorically asks on the back cover of this book: "If the raw food diet is really so amazing, why aren’t we living decades longer than people who eat cooked food?" Most of the older pioneers of the raw foods movement, he points out, died between the ages of 80 and 93, and many younger raw vegans are experiencing less than optimal health. In this book he asks why, and then provides a theory and set of solutions which could be the key to long-term health and longevity on a 100% raw diet.

Monarch believes the number one reason 100% raw fooders don’t experience the optimal health they should is because they don’t take cleansing and detoxification seriously enough. Many people enjoy such an amazing transformation in their health, energy levels, appearance and emotional state within a few months of going raw that they assume they are done detoxing.

But, says Monarch, if you discovered raw foods as an adult, and ate the standard diet until then, you will be detoxing for the rest of your life and you need to support your body in this process. The single most important piece of advice he has is regular colon cleansing - and the cleaner your diet, the more important that becomes.

Cleansing is the first of the five steps Monarch outlines in the book. The others are ‘avoiding marginal deficiencies’, ‘optimal food intake’, ‘emotional and spiritual health’ and one he calls ‘exploring the rabbit hole’.

In this chapter, Monarch explains the natural tendency of the body to want less food over time on a raw diet, but advises caution here: just as any long-time raw fooder would be very ill if they ate a hamburger, if your raw diet is too pure you can even get to the stage where raw restaurant food makes you sick. So choose very carefully how far you want to go, he says, because as you become cleaner you become more sensitive and there is a serious danger of shock from any inconsistencies in the amount or quality of food you eat.

This book is a fascinating and highly original look at some of the challenges long-term raw fooders commonly experience.
