Dear Dr Leela,

The problems of most people could be cured just by getting some raw food into their diet. Cooked food is what is making so many of us sick.
The diets we are genetically programmed to accept are raw: fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, etc.

And as if cooking the food weren't bad enough, most of it is denatured: white flour, white sugar--all the nutrients taken out for the sake of longer shelf-life. The fiber, of course, is taken out too.

When people start eating a natural diet and cut out junk food, their health improves.

Dr. Christopher used to call carrot juice a blood transfusion. Yes, I'm sure you can over-do it; I doubt that most people would, though, it's a bit of a bother, unless your health food store will do it for you. A daily glass or 2 of carrot-celery, carrot-cucumber, carrot-apple or whatever would do the average person a world of good.

I always tell people who are trying homeopathy or a similar therapy, that if all else fails, a raw food diet will cure whatever is wrong with you.

There's a lot of books out on juice therapy, but carrot juice is always the staple. Other juices can be mixed in, but it seems carrot juice is essential; and we're talking about diseases like cancer, that people have cured with carrot juice.
