After reading this book I felt a little confused, kind of after I read Unified Field theory by Hildreth Atkins.
Just like that book goes against conventional physics, this book goes against some very traditional and well established raw food teachings.
This book is a combination of String theory with Daoism. Her explanations on how lifeforce flows and the energy that we see in everyday life basically puts George Lucas to shame. I am basically totally sick of going to nutrition books and reading the same crap. 4kcal for carbs, 9 for fats, ect... Rose basicalliy breaks all that stuff down into words that an average Raw Food dieter can better understand.
Her thoughs on the different frequencies and energies of food was in my opinion revolutionary. I am also glad that she decided to include some fish recipies and other non-plant based proteins. She is correct in saying that consuming these foods have the resonant vibrations of death and fear, however as well all know these emotions and feelings are all part of life, and in a way by eating them we are somehow conquering them. Also, the japanese have very high consumption of raw foods and they have a well studied and documented highest life expectancy in the planet. It was very gutsy of her to incorporate this into her second book and in my opinion, totally right.
Some reviewers of the book feel that the book is informative and good basics for the raw food starters. Some also feel that some of her advice can somehow be selectively followed, and that is not the case. Immagine doing the Atkins diet and eating carbs. That does not make any sense. You have to follow the diet to the letter.
I think that the more controversial part of the book is her reccomended use of colonics. Colonics are very common in the medical field. In a lot of cases they are curative. Such as in patients who present volvulus or impactation. So if doctors use these procedures to cure patietns why not incorporate this into your ever day life. An amateur phylosophist may counter, "too much of anything is not good for you". And I would rebuttle, "how about brushing your teeth?". Is brushing your teeth after every meal too much? The answer is obviously No.
I personally tried very hard to follow this diet to the letter. However I had some family issues and shamefully fell of the wagon when I went to McDonalds and ate a Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. I immediately went back to the green lemonades and raw vegetables and started feeling better about a week later. So stuff like this happens to everybody.
I totally reccomend this book and the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of that internet rumor that said that the cover of her book has some biblical implications.
 Raw Foodists Keep Searching! March 24, 2008

As a new raw foodist enjoying the journey and seeking knowledge, you want to read as much as your mind can absorb. This book gives helpful tips along the way and some good recipes. But it really veers away from eating in food in the raw state, with plenty of recipes calling for cooking or putting in the oven. I couldn't get deeply into the vibrating theory, but I'm sure it's true on a scientific level. The best thing that I took away from reading the book was her education on eating optimally so that your food digests easily and is eliminated quickly. Since making that shift in my eating, I can feel a bigger difference my overall energy in relation to easily digestible meals. She also incorporates raw goat cheese heavily into recipes.

My own health and growing health concerns starting me reasearching into the "Raw food diet". This was the first book I read and though it came across as a bit of an information overload, it was still very helpful in explaining the extensive overall health benefits. I was a little dissapointed there weren't more recipes in this book but I suppose that means my next book should be strictly a raw food recipe book. I think this a great book for someone just starting out as it explains how you can gradually shift to raw food without having to give up cooked food completely. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about the raw food diet and lifestyle.

"We"... all need to go back to fresh...food eating...&...living
This is a progressive way of living...to once again bring awareness & understanding about how far away we have gone from fresh..."We" all live in 2 worlds.... the past...&...the future...however.... to settle in our so called present moments... which is "now" called the "now"...as we start to see
That convenience is no longer convenient...we gain weight... need new cloths...feel bad...&...stressed...yes... learning something new is not easy...&... why! Because we must think about what we are now doing...and also give up something that feels comfortable...yet... is no longer our best friend...successful people a willing to do what other people are not willing to do...fresh is not new...when I was young we grew our food...we cooked... canned... "We" were busy in a different way...this (new...old) concept brought back the memories of being alive...&...well...&... also young...when it was easier to learn...I am here to tell you.... fresh is back...to crunch on fresh vegetables... is... a great stress reliever...when we are stressed... we really want something crunchy... so with the help of this fresh raw Detox diet...Fresh...Young...&...De-stressed...brings sexy back...no matter what your age...

I make it short, but this book is awesome. I applied the principles mentioned in this book before and at that time I felt better in my life then ever before. I fell of the horse and started to eat like everyone else....it's time to turn it around again. This book gives you a helpful start. The only think I'm doing differently is I'm using a whole body cleansing instead of an enema kit. I like that approach a little better, to start my detox that way. I'm looking forward to the changes that will come my way of eating/living fully :-) Lots of joy to everyone.
