Dr. Terry Wahls misses the plot.

Jeanie Beresford took the raw food class at Raw Food Central, Windsor, CT before I did. I don't know how strict she was. She wrote this while visiting my raw food class, which started on January 16, 2011.

got off 11 medications plus chemo, steroids, and interferon; no symptoms of multiple sclerosis for 4 years

Jeanie can be contacted here:

Dr. Terry Wahls missed these questions:

* What about animal rights?
* What about the environment?
* What about too much fat?
* What about raw foods?
* What about the caloronutrient ratio?
* What about the success of Jeanie Beresford?
* What about buildup of toxins and hormones in flesh?
* What about being born with or developing every anatomical structure that we need to live, not being born with cooked stove on our back?
* What about not having a fragmented view of nutrition and letting the raw fruits and raw tender greens supply us with the nutrients?
* What about the long list of differences between humans and carnivores on pages 16 to 18 of The 80/10/10 Diet?
* What about eating land foods since we are a land species, not seaweed?

The one thing that differentiates Doug Graham and us, 80/10/10 raw vegans, from the rest of the people is that we do not have fragmented thinking, which is explained on pages 4 to 7 of The 80/10/10 Diet. Everyone else is looking at components of food to choose food that has more of a certain nutrient. They fail to see the forest for the trees. Dr. Terry Wahls could have eliminated the animal products, onion family, mushrooms, dehydrated kale, roots, vegetables with insoluble fiber, and seaweed and added more fruits for calories and tender greens for minerals, and she would have succeeded without the long-term side effects of the other foods. She had nine cups of vegetables and berries per day, so she was going in the right direction. I applaud her for succeeding in getting rid of her multiple sclerosis symptoms, but the paleo diet is shortsighted because it doesn't provide answers to the above questions.
