Summary: Makes the connection between diet and health crystal clear
Review: Having studied Cayce and other nutritionists for years, this book has given me the motivation to FINALLY make the transition to a TRULY healthy diet. The book blends a well written narrative of Aajonus' curing his son - doomed to death by the medical establishment - with facts on the connections between food and specific illnesses. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone trying to strengthen the intuitive wisdom of their body's own nutritional needs. Shows the links between processed foods, heated fats and sweets to our bodies' inability to allow the natural healing flow that is our birthright.

Summary: Do not continue eating without reading this book!
Review: I have been studying Nutrition and Diets looking for the answer to good health for almost a decade. Every single book including Atkins, The Zone, Carbohydrate Addicts, Eat Right For Your Type, and more seemed to be missing something when I tried them. I wasn't looking to lose weight, I was looking to be healthy.This book fills in that missing element. Some of the information in this book may be hard for you to swallow (literally), but I guarantee that if you read this book and apply the information contained within, your life will never be the same. Do not miss out on this wonderful opportunity to learn the truth about food, diet and health.

Summary: A Fascinating Thought-provoking Read
Review: I like a book that pushes the envelope - especially when it comes to health. "We Want to Live" pushes the envelope. No more wasted spending on vitamins, "cholesterol-lowering" drugs, and RX-happy physicians. This book follows up on Hippocrates's advice, "Let food be your medicine." Breal free from conventional "wisdom." Read this book.

Summary: The Raw Food Revolution
Review: I thought this book was outstanding!The diet mentioned in the book helped me recover after 20 years of ill-health-BUT I found the book a bit too new-agey and I only really improved once I turned to a fully raw,palaeolithic version of this diet, by excluding raw-dairy from my diet.Also ignore the stuff about cooked starch-Aajonus doesn't believe in it anymore.
If you want to avoid spending the second half of your life in a state of constant pain and misery,I suggest you read this book.
For more scientific info on the Primal Diet check out Karl Loren's webpage -it has several articles on Aaajonus an his Primal Diet.

Summary: Improved My Health Tremendously
Review: My body was in dreadful shape after years of being a vegetarian and raw fooder. AV's approach to raw makes more sense than any raw food vegetarian diet. I have been eating raw chicken, beef, milk, butter, honey, etc. for over three years. My body is much stronger. I look better than all my friends my age. THANK YOU AAJONUS FOR THIS BOLD WORK!!

Summary: Radical
Review: This book explains thoroughly the effects of processed food, cooking and nutrition. I dont agree with Mr. Vonderplanitz on Vitamin Pills but otherwise his book is totally First-Rate! Readers of this book, be forewarned! You will not like much of what you read, because you CANNOT read this book without changing your diet! I guarantee it! Also this book is amazingly well written. Half of it is in a Novel Format where Mr.Vonderplanitz explains how he has been affected by foods. Like him curing his son of a terminal illness, or him curing himself of a whole range of "incurable" diseases. Hmm, perhaps I should call him Dr.Vonderplanitz (even though he isnt a doctor). Because he deserves a whole lot more respect than the doctors who are helping poisoning us, ruining our health and getting rich from it all to boot! All I can say is I am following his diet, and,in conclusion, Thank You Dr.Vonderplanitz!

Summary: From a former vegan of 5 years...
Review: This is an amazing book. I read it back in 1997 after I attended a lecture by the author. Although I was vegan for 5 years and vegetarian for 2 years before that, I switched immediately to this diet. And that's the surprising part because I was so against meat eating on both a social basis as well as health basis. You would never catch me reading anything by an author who recommended any other type of diet because I was certain of my beliefs. So there I am walking by a seminar room in a shopping center back in 1997, and notice a sign describing a talk by Aajonus. For a laugh, since it sounded so absurd, I decided to pop in and listen for a few minutes. For the next hour, he described what he had been through in terms of his health challenges and what he did to overcome them. I walked out of there a different person and have stayed on the diet for over six and a half years from that day. When I really think about it, this philosophy really is an extension of being a vegan/vegetarian. Vegans know that animal products are bad for the body, but the distinction here is that cooked meat, pasteurized milk/cheese/butter and cooked eggs are what is bad for you. In their raw form they are extremely healthful, and I have had nothing but major improvement in my health eating this way.
