Gabriel Cousens: Benefits Raw Food Diet

[lenny10marlin]

There's so much sugar on the raw food diet and it actually aged me. I feel much better since I went to steamed potatoes or brown rice and whole fruits and veggies. All the wrinkles I got on the raw food diet went away after a week. Sugar is highly aging and really messes up your immune system.

[indian2335]

what is his age in this video.. plz tel me

[porkyo123]

You can turn on all the anti aging genes you want Gabe your still going down when it's time. get a hit of some broiled salmon with brocc,asparugus and good pink salt and U will rev up yo genes. and you can steam yo veggies to. PEACE

[TheSeaboat]

It only takes one generation to get it 'straight'....

[TheSeaboat]

I keep saying: raw VEGAN...I'm honestly interested on how many of you 100% raw vegan who stay strong and healthy on the diet after more than 3 years? Honestly. How's your teeth, for one example. I mea, look at the raw garden diet, take a close look at their children. if this pure diet is so good for you, then why are they born with crooked teeth? Compare them to the children of indigenous people and you will be amazed by their childrens extremly healthy teeth and how straight they are...

[gifteconomy12]

he looks like true RAW EATER - HE IS THE ONLY ONE!

[porkyo123]

YEAH GABE keep eating wheat grass your gonna live until 120 and im gonna stick around and watch.

[kokonutbaby1]

Yup, I guess he is still alive: "At the age of 95, LaLanne continues to work out every morning for two hours. He spends 1½ hours in the weight room and half an hour swimming or walking. LaLanne and his wife Elaine (83) live in Morro Bay, California."

[Gr8stuffis]

YEAH GABE, like porkyo123 says, " Eat some MEAT" !!!"

Don't you wanna be the most BUFF looking corpse that died of cancer in the MORGUE? Huh?

[Gr8stuffis]

You might want to UTUBE the following. I can't paste the URL as they won't let me do that in these boxes:

72 Year-Old Man Body Building Every Day

[porkyo123]

This guy use to look real good with weight on. i have one of his earlier books and he looked jockey. he looks like hell now to thin.these guys take it to far ,then they believe in it. there just on a continuous fast. stupid! eat some fn meat.

[kokonutbaby1]

@porky LOL..you're right they do look emaciated..u should not be able to count the bones on a person's face or body in general and your eyes should not be sunken in..that is unhealthy..anything extreme is unhealthy.

[HarperInTheMist]

No better advertisement for raw food than stringy hair, slurred speech, and gaunt features. Sexy...

How many raw foodists could spend the day doing hard labor in Alaska, Siberia, or the Orkney Islands...

Just wondering...

[si0paloma]

The guy's in his late 60's. Give him a break.

[Mother4earth]

No we can't since he promotes and promises everyone who follows his recommendations will get access to longevity and super health(?) If the diet doesn't keep its promises, then something is clearly not wright, because you see, it doesn't have anything to do with age for these people. They promise cure and super health for ANY, going on this regimen. If he is not doing well, then the diet is not 'well'/good...

[si0paloma]

My point is that NO ONE, regardless of their diet, is a buff, lean mean fighting machine in their mid to late 60's. Most if not all of the stuff you are seeing in Cousens is part of the normal aging process.

[Mother4earth]

Hello, I see what you mean. The problem is that they PROMISE superhealth, and a very LONG HEALTHY life, and promise you to live to be 100 etc etc but when they age just like any person on any(?) diet, as you say; part of a normal aging process, then whats making all these promises? I have more trust in an innuit who's been living on their diets for thousands of years and still going STRONG til the very end, at old age...not like super gurus, getting weaker and weaker...

[si0paloma]

What you're saying is that you don't like the way the guy looks... but you have o idea what his athletic ability is, how much sleep he needs or what ind of health his organs are in. LOOK AT HIS SKIN. He has some wrinkles, but he hardly has the skin of someone pushing 70. No liver spots, sagging, under eye circles or anything. So he should probably cut his hair, which naturally thins with age, but you have no real evidence that he is NOT superbly healthy.

[Mother4earth]

Hi si0paloma; I'm more CONCERNED about how he 'looks' 'cause what he promises does not match his appearence. And yes, you could say that a special physical apperance tells something about a persons, for example, diet. I got an e-news letter today, telling that raw foods is anti-aging, that we should start eating like that as a life saver. But, this is were I have some issuses. If the diet makes you THIN, WEAK, LOOSE your TEETH, and vitamin D defiencies etc, then something is WRONG...

[Mother4earth]

I'm CONCERNED 'cause we are told to use SUPER FOODS for MAXIMUM health etc. BUT super foods are very, very expensive and have very, very lowimpact in the long run. That's why I react when children has to incorporate raw dairy, eggs and meat for proper nutrition. If raw veggies and sweet, exotic fruits are so packed with nutrients, then why can't so many thrive on them? I'm sure many raw foodists have some issues despite their effort to eat properly. Some say: don't eat too much nuts and seeds...

[Mother4earth]

BUT what the heck should one eat to fill up? Some say: don't eat oils and fats...wow. They have clearly not understood how our bodies are built. No wonder children feel an urge to eat butters, etc (Hollie Page). I have smoothe skin, no wrinkles, no pain, sleep like a baby, and have energy for whole days, strong arms and a very calm and easy mood etc. All these never stayed with me for long when on raw. So, what do I prefer?Rraw meats and fats. Just like the innuits etc. Life IS sweet! Peace :)

[si0paloma]

it's proven that children require more fat and calories than grown adults. Cousens advocates a pretty high fat raw vegan diet.

[MindofaJedi]

The inuits have a life span of 45 , not great role models .

[TheSeaboat]

There has never ever in history been a nation or race who only lived and thrived on raw vegan foods. Nope. BUT more on raw meats and fish, wild berries and greens, fats, bone marrrows. Not even people in warmer climates eat only fruits. They've also been eating local hatch of fish, seafood etc. It's that simple and logical. That¨s why they have no heart diseases, no lack of vitamin C, no nothing like our diseases...do your study and you will be surprised! Love and Peace :) PS /W. A Price...

[si0paloma]

I'm not dogmatic about raw food. I think you can be healthy on a variety of diets, but Cousens isn't the only raw fooder out there. Look at Ann Wigmore, Ani Phyo, Jennifer Corbleet, David Wolfe, Annmarie and Kevin Gianni, the Boutenko family! Perhaps Cousens' diet isn't optimal (who are we to say?), but there are many strong, healthy, happy raw food eaters in the world and on youtube who look AMAZING. Most people who eat raw foods long term do not report feeling weak, and are not abnormally thin

[si0paloma]

There's also Angea Stokes, Tim Van Orden, Brendan Brazier. Tim and Brendan are raw athletes!

[kokonutbaby1]

I saw the diet of an innuit on a documentary..they ate raw meat including whale blubber and the kids got the blood and raw liver,etc. and when they had visitors they offered them their "best meat" which was meat w/maggots in it,,,whew! I guess I will die young, lol

[kokonutbaby1]

@si0paloma..well Jack LaLaine sure looked good and buff in his 70s even..is he still alive? But altho he juiced I dont believe thats all he ate and he was really into fitness and exercise but he never looked emaciated to me nor his wife, Elaine..poor Happy didnt make it, tho! (his dog) lol

[si0paloma]

No, it wasn't You'd have to be batty to believe you could live on juice alone. Body is not designed to handle only juice.

[porkyo123]

i agree. I just heard a show out of Harvard and they said we thrive on cooked food. Heard another show talking about blended smoothies rocketing sugar levels up, even bluberries. Im sorry folks,I forgot God Put liquid trees and plants here for us to drink,NOT TO CHEW. LOL

[Mother4earth]

Hi, yes, you're right. They simple can't do it...long term.

[tickyul]

@HarperInTheMist Roadkill, they would be toast if they were removed from their optimum little vegan existance. Man must have meat to do hard, treacherous work, these guys are living in a little bubble,

[Mother4earth]

In some areas in the world people drink milk, but it is raw, and fresh, not pasteurized and poured in card boxes. There are still native peole today, in Africa for example, that live entirly on meat, milk, and bllod and suffer no modern diseases wht so ever and have perfect teeth. Study the ancient egyptian=cavities and heart diseases. They ate primarly low fat, some raw cheeze and fruits and veggies, no red meat. History is important, it tells us something. Check the eskimoes...

[si0paloma]

Eskimoes have some of the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world.

[Mother4earth]

Hello; on what evidence would that be the case? If they can survuve without cancer, no tooth decay, no rheumatism etc, then why should they suddenly have osteoporosis? Look at their teeth...healthiest in the world...

[HRCZFuujin]

Well human would be the only species who woudl drink milk from other species. Wild animals stop drinking milk when they grow up.

[HarperInTheMist]

Humans are also the only species that builds rocket ships, sends probes into space, and is capable of coming up with a way for protecting our planet against another species killing asteroid impact (like the one that killed the dinosaurs)... So what's your point?

We are also the only species that farms. Should we stop doing that too? Perhaps we should attempt to move back into the forest and eat leaves, etc. like our Chimp relatives?

[Mother4earth]

Does he have any scientific back up for that statement!? Always ask for that, no matter what they say. They even claim sometims that we shouldn't take their word for what they claim. And they are right. Don't. Look at their apperance. If you want to go on a diet you don't follow a doctors order if he/she is looking unhealthy and/or fat. If so, something is not right and you should be careful to make adjustments that goes well with you. We are all different. Take care.

[si0paloma]

The guy's a doctor and has prescribed this diet to his patients, who have made full recoveries from cancer, diabetes, candidiasis and other ailments FROM THE DIET.

[porkyo123]

dr or not it does not work with everyone

[si0paloma]

I doubt he'd continue to do it if he felt it didn't work for him.

[Mother4earth]

Is it really possible to be 100 % raw a tall times!? Didn't Jesus mentioned to drink animals milk? Even Reverend Nazariah used to do that and then stopped for a long time, and got very sick. When raw 'gurus' tells you that all raw vegan is the way to go and then change their mind, something is really not right here. Why did they start eating dairy, really!? You can't sustain on raw at all times. the children will show you that, by their deficiencis on the diet long term. If raw: follow Jesus...

[porkyo123]

No Jesus said nothing about drinking milk.Jesus ate fish with his friends.Also,Jesus said it's not what goes into a mans mouth that makes him unclean its what comes out. I wish Jesus was around now id be the first in line to hang out and listen to him speak! OUCH!

[TheSeaboat]

Hi, well he did, actually. In the Gospe of the Holy Twelve etc....I have a copy here were he says to eat the honey of bees and drink milks from animals...:)

[porkyo123]

In the bible Christ talks know where about drinking milk! I know nothing about the holy 12. just another false gospel

[TheSeaboat]

@porkyo123 Hello, well I didn't either, but got it confirmed from our teachers(pastors) at my seminars (I study theology in order to become ordained priest). But it's nothing wrong with having raw milk, is there!? Some of us on this planet do and have for generations...in fact, living solemnly on raw vegan foods withou the fats contained in milk, is hazardous if we don't eat fatty fish raw and so forth. look at the raw gurus; not many can honestly stay on 100% raw vegan for very long...

[HRCZFuujin]

Personal opinion - Yeah, it's not about enzymes (think it contains enzymes when you crunch it ? crunch some seed and try to plant it to demonstrate this), not about life energy (the hell..?), it's about the fact it's NOT cooked.

[fridaalady]

tinimpayko lol are u serious or u joking? comon, if u dont have any experience in this subject plz dont put ur bad comment.

[tinimpajko]

this is america, you think they dont know how to use make up :)

another thing people are saying, oh modern medicine is all about the $

and "raw food" is not? these videos are all subliminal messages. this food is all made in your own countries and the goverments want to ban food from africa and other 3rd world countries. think about it

[mike4973]

Dr. Cousens is a living food authority, and is truly a living example of what he teaches. Just look at the health of his skin and body!

[porkyo123]

Is dr cousen she related to joan rivers?
