The Raw Cure: Healing Beyond Medicine

by Jesse Jacoby

People are finally catching on. There is no way around the fact that the consumption of meat, eggs, the variety of products made from dairy, and foods containing toxic chemicals and refined ingredients trigger the most common diseases afflicting humans.


While we remain fearful of nuclear accidents, wars, floods, fires, tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, and car crashes, the truth is that the vast majority of people in commercialized civilization are more likely to die from the symptoms resulting from their dependence on prescription drugs, living a toxic lifestyle, and making poor dietary choices. Chief among those bad choices are eating meat, dairy, eggs, refined and fatty foods, and foods containing synthetic chemicals.


Meat, eggs, and dairy products are not ideal food sources for humans. We have simply been lied to by the multi-billion-dollar industries that are responsible for producing these low-quality foods, as they continue to profit from products that are the result of the mass-breeding, mistreatment, and killing of harmless, sentient beings that can feel pain just as much as we can.


The truth is that eating meat, dairy, eggs, and refined and chemically-altered foods is deleterious to our health. The common degenerative and chronic diseases we are afflicted with today are directly linked with the food choices we make.


By eating more raw fruits and vegetables, removing animal products and junk foods from our diet, and making healthier lifestyle choices we will soon find that we no longer need the vast amount of what we call ‘healthcare'. We will drastically reduce the costs associated with surgery and our dependence on toxic, synthetic chemical drugs. Incidence of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and obesity will plunge, and we – and Earth – will be much healthier.


Rather than choosing to be ignorant of the truth, it is time for us to take back our health, empower ourselves, gain compassion, and quit contributing to these acts of cruelty we call ‘animal farming'. Doing so will greatly reduce our use of fossil fuels that are destroying life on Earth.


Using medical studies, and reliable scientific research, the author provides strong evidence that the link between nutrition and disease is more paramount than we once believed it to be. You will learn about why the foods we have been conditioned to enjoy are truly sickening us, and how to successfully wean these from your diet, while replacing them with more enjoyable, and nourishing food choices.


This book exposes the truth, and will guide you on your journey to take back your health.

This book helped me understand eating better. My first "Raw" book. He gets carried away & is vicious at times but I understand where he's coming from & I'm glad I read it.

A lot of great stuff, but a lot of misinformation too. Check everything you read in this book, that you question. I checked and often it would be on Snopes as false. He takes a lot of this topic really really seriously and, dare I say, too extreme. However, his lifestyle is do-able for some and a lot of his advice is good. I especially liked the discussion of alkaline-rich foods and what nutrients are found in various foods.

This is a great book as a resource to find great books on the topic. He cites many great books, but this is written so angry and elitist. I get it...I mean I understand why he's so angry, but it's just a turn off to people who might be looking for useful information to better themselves and their lives.
I have a nice list of new books to read, though.

Biased book. All that I have to say. Basing itself on invented facts. Pure fiction.

Very good information. Quite repetitive though and not very well-written or organized.
