Customer Reviews

Natalia Rose is a Gem!
Four months ago I was at the park with my son after school, feeling cranky and exhausted as usual, dying for 6:30 to roll around so I could fix myself a cocktail and cook dinner, signalling the end of another long grueling day.
I turned to one of the other mothers and said in desperation "is this all that's left of life? Tired by mid-afternoon?" My friend shrugged. I started looking for ways to increase my energy and found Natalia Rose's RAW FOOD DETOX DIET. I have felt better and better since. This is the book of her philosophy of where life force comes from. It's a little fruity but loving and helpful. She encourages people to take what they can from her words and live a better life. So far I have.

Very Inspiring
I love her books because she inspires me to keep moving in the raw direction. I love that she refers to the idea that eating raw integrates spirit with the body.

Revelations
After reading this book I felt a little confused, kind of after I read Unified Field theory by Hildreth Atkins.
Just like that book goes against conventional physics, this book goes against some very traditional and well established raw food teachings.

This book is a combination of String theory with Daoism. Her explanations on how lifeforce flows and the energy that we see in everyday life basically puts George Lucas to shame. I am basically totally sick of going to nutrition books and reading the same crap. 4kcal for carbs, 9 for fats, ect... Rose basicalliy breaks all that stuff down into words that an average Raw Food dieter can better understand.

Her thoughs on the different frequencies and energies of food was in my opinion revolutionary. I am also glad that she decided to include some fish recipies and other non-plant based proteins. She is correct in saying that consuming these foods have the resonant vibrations of death and fear, however as well all know these emotions and feelings are all part of life, and in a way by eating them we are somehow conquering them. Also, the japanese have very high consumption of raw foods and they have a well studied and documented highest life expectancy in the planet. It was very gutsy of her to incorporate this into her second book and in my opinion, totally right.

Some reviewers of the book feel that the book is informative and good basics for the raw food starters. Some also feel that some of her advice can somehow be selectively followed, and that is not the case. Immagine doing the Atkins diet and eating carbs. That does not make any sense. You have to follow the diet to the letter.

I think that the more controversial part of the book is her reccomended use of colonics. Colonics are very common in the medical field. In a lot of cases they are curative. Such as in patients who present volvulus or impactation. So if doctors use these procedures to cure patietns why not incorporate this into your ever day life. An amateur phylosophist may counter, "too much of anything is not good for you". And I would rebuttle, "how about brushing your teeth?". Is brushing your teeth after every meal too much? The answer is obviously No.

I personally tried very hard to follow this diet to the letter. However I had some family issues and shamefully fell of the wagon when I went to McDonalds and ate a Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. I immediately went back to the green lemonades and raw vegetables and started feeling better about a week later. So stuff like this happens to everybody.

I totally reccomend this book and the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of that internet rumor that said that the cover of her book has some biblical implications.
