Book Review: Your Natural Diet: Alive Raw Food
by T. C. Fry & David Klein
Available from the Living Nutrition Online
Review by Dr. Douglas N. Graham
President of Healthful Living International
and author of Grain Damage, Nutrition and Athletic Performance, The High Energy Diet
Recipe Guide, Perpetual Health, and Hygienic Fasting <www.doctorgraham.cc>
Every once in a while a person comes along who changes the way we look at things. T. C.
Fry was one of those men. T. C. has had a bigger influence on the health and eating habits
of the nation than perhaps any other person. He wrote tirelessly for 25 years, and along
the way he taught many who have followed in his footsteps as best-selling authors
in this field. T. C. was unrelenting in his efforts to get the word out about Natural
Hygiene, particularly since this lifestyle added 25 years of robust health to his
life--which he had never experienced before his discovery of this teaching.
I count myself among the Natural Hygiene authors influenced by T. C. Others are: Harvey
and Marilyn Diamond, famous for their book, Fit for Life, Marti Wheeler, Dr. Gina Shaw,
Prof. Rozalind Gruben (look for her upcoming book, Raw Nutritional Science), and David
Klein, to name just a few.
David takes his mission seriously. T.C.'s influence, both personal and through his books,
helped him overcome a debilitating gastro-intestinal disorder (ulcerative colitis) in
1984. He has gone on to become one of the world's finest health educator-writers,
spreading a healthy message at every opportunity. YND is no exception. Within these pages,
David has compiled his most insightful "how to" writings with many of the
classic writings of T. C. Fry. Taken out of context, much of this information might seem
unconvincing. Taken together, YND is a powerful “how to” manual that leaves very
little unsaid about creating and maintaining vibrant health through healthful eating and
living practices.
If you are ready to become truly influenced by natural health sense, YND is for you. If
you are interested in achieving top level health, cutting straight to the chase and
replacing your old self-destructive habits with constructive ones, read this deeply
illuminating book. If you want to chew on food for thought that will challenge your
beliefs and encourage you to improve yourself, David Klein has put together a winner for
you.
YND is must reading for any true health enthusiast. In a time when new health fads and
diet programs are a dime a dozen, YND offers timeless teaching brought to you by two of
the world's master teachers of health. YND is a book for the ages. Read it and enjoy, read
it and grow healthier.
A synthesis
of some of the finest works by T. C. Fry and David Klein, making a wholistic introduction
for the novice as well as a transformational guide for the intermediate raw fooder.
Presents fascinating criteria for determining our natural diet, the detrimental aspects of
cooking, practical keyes to fruit and raw food eating, a guide to food selection,
explanations of detoxification and the requirements of health, a gradual dietary
transition plan, healthful eating and food combining guidelines, mental-emotional tools
for overcoming eating problems, insight on how to approach intuitive/instinctual eating,
raw food lifestyle tips, raw food recipes, healthful resources and more.
