 Call me chimpanzee Jane! November 27, 2008

After suffering a debilitating car accident where a drunk driver crushed my Miata... and I walked away, alive... I spent months in physical therapy. I ended up with two crushed spinal disks and a host of other painful injuries. I spent a year in severe pain, a year in which I could barely walk, could barely sleep.
I tried everything - and I mean everything - to help alleviate the pain. Massage. Physical Therapy. Prescription Medication. Aspirin. Herbs. Yoga. Acupuncture. Nothing worked.
I somehow came across Dr. Doug's book and my life changed. I began eating all fresh raw fruits and vegetables in the proportions Dr. Doug recommends. My family laughed to see me make enormous smoothies of 10 bananas and entire heads of celery which I would slam down with relish.
I lost 35 pounds within six weeks. My skin is so smooth and clear. My eyes are incredibly bright. And my back pain? GONE. Gone. The raw foods reduced the amounts of inflammation in my body.
Dr. Doug explains that the road to health includes a very low fat vegan diet where only ten percent - or less - of your mails consist of fat. Making those foods raw increases the health benefits a hundred fold, too.
I feel amazing. I have a new lease on life. I am so grateful I came across this book here at amazon.com, and recommend it to anyone struggling with back pain or weight issues.
80/10/10 IS THE MUST READ BOOK FOR YOUR HEALTH November 23, 2008

This is a wonderful book. For Dr. Douglas Graham, it is a labor of love. As Dr. Graham was writing 80/10/10, he was thinking, not about how much money he would make, but of all of us who would benefit from reading it and by following the tenets of eating the way Nature intended us to eat.
I've been on Dr. Graham's 80/10/10 (sometimes described by its devotees as "811") for two weeks. The results are very encouraging. I've lost weight safely and comfortably. I look better, feel better, and I smell better (as in zero body odor).
If you have health issues, buy this book. If you are eating dairy, meat, or poultry, buy this book. If you are eating any processed foods (soda pop, pastries, bottled juices, candy bars, etc.), buy this book.
If improving the quality of your life is your goal, buy this book. Read every word from cover to cover. Take Dr. Graham's teachings to heart. Follow his guidelines and put them to work for you. I promise you that you'll be glad that you did.

I think this is one of the first books you should read if you are interested in going raw. Excellent book!

I have been researching raw foodism for several months. I watched the Rawkathon and listened to several raw foodists and got even more confused since there were some big differences between each individual's diet. This book really cleared things up for me. I understand it better than ever, and other than adding additional greens or green drinks, I think this really makes the grade. Unfortunately, after going to the grocery store, I realized it was going to cost me over $1000.00 a month to eat this way. I still have three other people in my household to feed. I can't imagine having a $4000.00 grocery bill every month. I would have to live in a tent. Also, I would not have a clue as to what to take on my 4 hour bike rides, or an Ironman. I can't carry 3lbs of bananas with me on a race like that.
 Cant agree with everything in this book. September 26, 2008

This book really didnt hit the mark for me. There is alot of good information in here but Dr Graham says some things that I feel are really fanatical and "out there". And I am already a hot food vegetarian and extremely open minded against Big Pharma and Western Medecine/Nutrition.
But he says things such as these:
Vinegar is poisonous for the human body.
Olives are not meant to be consumed as people food.
Juicing veggies such as with a GreenStar or Champion juicer is harmful because they get digested too quickly and cause a spike in blood sugar (or something like that).
Even the grains most people think are healthy such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and so forth should be excluded from your diet.
You should throw out your entire spice rack and condiments. (I paraphrased that)
The cellulose in cruciferous veggies such as brocoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts is abrasive while passing thru your intestines. (Thats news to me as I thought this was the best form of fiber a human should eat).
Eating more than half of a Haas California avocado in 1 day will put too much fat in your diet.
But that being said I did read 80% of the book. I read it with an open mind and did derive benefits from it. The best thing I learned from it is to quit buying all those garbage supplements, vitamins and enzymes from the health food store and instead to look to mother nature and get these vitamins and minerals from the whole foods that I eat.
I really wish Dr Graham would substantiate many of his statements with reference to peer-reviewed journal or something the way that John Robbins does in his books.
Look people, I agree you should try to add as many fruits and greens as possible to your diet but to exclude beans and bread I think is just too fanatical. I dont think anyone could adhere to such a strict regimen of deprivation. And being a skinny guy already as a hot food vegetarian I would probably look like that cartoon character "rattle me bones" if I observed 80/10/10-RV religiously.
