Bodies on Raw

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

From the publisher – Bodies on Raw is an inspiring compilation of testimonials from pioneering individuals who with the help of raw food, vegan, or plant-based choices have either survived cancer or conquered high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, an enlarged prostate, as well as acne, constipation, migraines, and allergies. Their words take you on a journey through the scientific realities of the power of food to discover simple tips which guide you gently towards healing, health, and fitness. This unique book is born from Marisa Ignacio Hormel's passion captured by Melinda Lerner's prowess. Witness the results.

Any Book that beings with this quote, “BODIES ON RAW IS AN INSPIRING COMPILATION OF TESTIMONIALS FROM PIONEERING INDIVIDUALS WHO WITH THE HELP OF RAW FOOD, VEGAN, OR PLANT-BASED CHOICES HAVE EITHER SURVIVED CANCER … “raises EXTREME alarm bells on me! People will do ANYTHING to survive cancer and without scientific fact and directed/personal medical directions NO ONE should take this as a suggested method of treatment. Replacing prescribed depression medications with these food is beyond dangerous.

THE BOOK IS ALSO FULL OF ARTSY NUDE SHOTS AND MORE BREASTS THAN THE POULTRY SECTION OF THE GROCERY STORE. This book is a collection of stories about how people got well using raw vegan foods --- good for them. But this is not medical advice --- you should get that from your doctor and your doctor only. I can in no way recommend this book to anyone, nor should you. I have given it one star as Netgalley requires me to – everywhere else it will get ZERO stars.
