I have lots of raw food books, probably about 3 dozen in all. I can say with certainty though that the very BEST raw food book you can ever read is The Live Food Factor. It is the raw food Bible…there is just no equal. It has over 650 pages of fantastic, unparalleled info on the raw food lifestyle and the concept of natural hygiene.

It was written by Susan Schenck, LAc, MTOM,  a raw food eater who began eating raw with miraculous results. She ended up wanting to know every there was about why raw food is superior to cooked and the idea for this book was born. After she wrote her first draft she impressed a natural hygiene expert named Victoria Bidwell, PhD, EdD. Bidwell and Schenek teamed up to finish the book together. There are two forwards in the book too, written by Dr. V. Vetrano and Victoria Boutenko. That is some amazing talent that wrote this book!

So what makes it different than ALL other raw food books? The sheer amount of information! Other raw food books mention studies in passing or they mention only 2 or 3 scientific studies that prove raw is better. This book documents nearly 70 scientific studies done on the raw versus cooked debate. Most of them are listed alphabetically in an appendix so you can browse the scientific proof in the raw pudding one tantalizing detail at a time. Most raw food books are short on the science but not this one!

It also delves into so much more information I barely know where to start. live food factorIt covers just about everything you can think of. It has many personal testimonials with before and after pictures. It has many stories of people who cured their cancer and other debilitating diseases with the power of raw food. It delves into many of the nutritional controversies we are bombarded with. It has tips on going raw and staying  raw. It has lengthy sections on common pitfalls and raising raw children. And it has some recipes and great recommendations for other raw recipes books.

If you can only afford to get ONE book on this topic. It should be,  hands down, The Live Food Factor.
