My father's parents were Slovenian, so I'm half Slovenian. I live in Connecticut, USA. The best book is The 80/10/10 Diet, which is sold here, http://foodnsport.com/shop.php. Also, you can read these frequently asked questions, http://foodnsport.com/faq.php. 80/10/10 raw vegan Andrew Perlot has "The Raw Food Blog" on this site, http://www.raw-food-health.net/, which supplements Doug Graham's work. He is also originally from Connecticut.

The 80/10/10 raw vegan diet is very simple: low-fat fruits and tender greens. Fruits are those things that usually have seeds like tomatoes, cucumbers, bananas, dates, grapes, and blueberries. Greens are non-bitter leaves like romaine lettuce, red-leaf lettuce, spinach, edible weeds like purslane, and parsley. I eat a least a head of romaine lettuce (or comparable amount of greens) per day, and the rest is fruit. The easiest way to eat, which is how I eat, is to just cut and eat. Cut up a tomato with a knife and cutting board and eat it. Peel an orange and eat it. Take a leaf off of a head of romaine lettuce and eat it. Peel a banana and eat it. Eat a date. Eat a blueberry. I buy in bulk (in boxes) once a week and eat that week's fruits and greens. Some of it carries over week to week. I ripen my fruit at room temperature, and when ripe, I refrigerate it so that it doesn't go bad. Other people add a very, very small amount overt fats per day, such as avocados, nuts, and seeds. That keeps them under 10% of calories from fat. If you eat no over fats, like me, then you will always be under 10% of calories from fat. The 80/10/10 is a minimum of 80% of calories from carbohydrates, a maximum of 10% of calories from protein, and a maximum of 10% of calories from fat. This is called the caloronutrient ratio. This is a species-specific human diet, which means that if you are human, this is your ideal diet, no matter where you live.

The way Natural Hygiene works is by providing the ideal environment with diet, exercise, sunlight, sleep, dental hygiene (brushing, flossing, and rinsing with water), and emotions, and the body will thrive. Change the internal environment (Antoine Béchamp and Claude Bernard) instead of adding intervention such as supplements and medicine (Louis Pasteur, germ theory, modern medicine). This is similar to a plant. A plant comes with a list of conditions: amount of sunlight, amount of water, type of minerals, and type of soil. If you provide it with those conditions, the plant will thrive. If you stick it in a dark closet, no supplementation is going to make up for the lack of sunlight. A Natural Hygienist would remove the plant from the dark closet and give it the proper amount of sunlight. Modern medicine and Louis Pasteur would leave it in the dark closet and give it medicine and surgery. Louis Pasteur, by the way, admitted at the end of his life that his germ theory was wrong and that Claude Bernard was correct about changing the environment, so if you believe in Louis Pasteur, you believe a man who didn't believe himself.
