L'alimentation vivante (que l'on peut appeler aussi crudivorisme, au vegan rawfoods) est une pratique alimentaire qui favorise la consommation de nourriture crue (non cuite), non ou peu raffinée, et souvent d'origine biologique, comme principale source d'alimentation. En Amérique, ce genre de mode l'alimentation est devenu très populaire, au point ou il y a de plus en plus de médecins qui recommendent ce régime alimentataire, ainsi que beaucoup de centres de soin et restaurants (presque dans toutes les grandes villes des Etats Unis, on trouve des "rawfood" restaurants, en San Francisco, il y en a 9, à Los Angeles, 7, à Seattle 3, à Bellingham 2 etc). Par exemple, on a deux amis medecin-cancérologues d'Arizona qui prescrivent systèmatiquement du "vegan rawfoods" pour leurs patients. En France, il y a une tendance a considérer presque tout ce qui est fondé par l'innovation scientifique et la pratique ancestrale en général et le "vegan rawfoods" en particulier comme étant un produit d'une secte, d'un complot "anti-système" ou d'une preuve de dysfonctionnement cérébral grave.
On peut séparer les crudi-végétariens ou crudi-végétaliens qui sont principalement granivores, fructivores, etc... des crudivores carnivores, qui font de la viande une part plus ou moins grande de leur régime. Il y a aussi certains qui ne font subir aucune transformation à la nourriture (voir l'instinctonutrition) quand d'autres s'attachent à préparer des plats crus très élaborés dans ce qui est parfois appelé la « crusine ».
Entre autres mécanismes, ce mode d'alimentation produit ses effets thérapeutiques graçe à l’action des enzymes vivantes, des vitamines et sels minéraux qui sont maintenu dans un état cru et aussi naturel que possible. Ce qui contribut à mieux « détoxiquer » l'organisme, à mieux nettoyer l’organisme en favorisant l’élimination des toxines.
Intégrer des aliments crus dans son alimentation demande d'y aller progressivement, car certaines personnes qui consomment des aliments crus (surtout des fruits et des légumes) sont incommodées par des ballonnements, des selles molles, ou des colites.
Dans cette perspective, les aliments lactofermentés (choucroute, carottes, betterave, etc.) permettent une transition entre le cuit et le cru (i.e. la lactofermentation détruit certaines substances indésirables).
Au Centre Jus Cogens, nous préparons des mets crus composés des fruits variés, légumes, algues et graines. A terme, nous allons réssusciter notre bac à spiruline, et ce, d'autant qu' une étude réalisée par l'IRD pour le Ministère de l'Agriculture a confirmé que la spiruline de par sa forte richesse naturelle en protéines, fer et vitamine B12, acides acides gras essentiels doit être considérée comme un aliment complet.
En outre, tous les jours, nous allons dans la forêt cueillir des plantes sauvages (telles l'hoblon sauvage, la luzerne - riche en vitamine B 12, le plantain, la cibolette sauvage, l'ortie, la carotte sauvage etc, ) et nous en extrayons des jus d'herbe d'une haute énergie. (Voir notre programme).
CI-APRÈS, UN TEXT D'UN AUTRE DE NOS SITES
Live foods are plant-foods that have not been heated, cooked, processed, or refined in any way. Live foods (or raw foods) include uncooked, organic vegetables and fruits, raw nuts and seeds, and sprouted grains and seeds of all kinds (alfalfa, sunflower, lentil, etc). These foods are loaded with nutrients and healing properties and should ideally comprise about 70-80% of your diive, raw foods have a high degree of life force or energy . Life force, also known as prana (in India ), or chi (in China ), is the most basic and primary nutrient on which our bodies thrive. The substances that increase our life force energy, include oxygen, sunlight, and live foods. You can actually see the life force energy of a particular food through a technology called Kirlian Photography. You can see from the pictures that a fresh, raw food has a large life force field, yet when cooked, the life force field is diminished. It is also interesting to note that people who have degenerative health conditions have been shown, through this same method, to have small life force fields, and those who are healthy have much larger life force fields. Different cooking methods affect the life force field of foods dramatically differently. Fried foods, processed and sugar-laden foods, and red meat, for instance have little to no life force energy. Lightly steamed vegetables, legumes, or grains have a far greater vitality than deep fried foods or cooked meat.
Live foods, including uncooked, organic vegetables and fruits, and raw or sprouted seeds, nuts, grains, and grasses, have the highest life force energy of any foods. Sprouted foods are particularly powerful, and are referred to as biogenic foods. They contain the secret of life itself, the germ, which contains the reproductive power of the plant. When seeds, nuts, and grains are sprouted, many of the nutrients are increased and they become easier to digest. When nuts and seeds are soaked and sprouted, digestive enzyme inhibitors contained in the nuts and seeds are destroyed, and the carbohydrates, fats and proteins become predigested into simple carbohydrates, free fatty acids, and free amino acids, allowing the body to absorb them more readily.

ON RAW VEGAN FOODS
TO JUICE OR NOT TO JUICE ? THIS IS A SERIOUS CANCER QUESTION AS THE ART OF JUICING BRINGS UP THE ISSUES OF DETOX, FASTING, PH OF THE BLOOD, OXYGENATION, ENZYMES AND IMMUNO BUILDING, ETC., ALL OF WHICH REMAIN FAVORABLE TO AN ANTI CANCER AND PRO CELL STRATEGY.
EXPERT TESTIMONY FROM THE FOUNDER OF ONE OF THE BEST EUROPEAN CAM CANCER CENTER. IN 1940'S, DR KRISTINE NOLFI CURED HERSELF OF A BREAST CANCER VIA RAW FOODS AND OTHER TECHNIQUES TAUGHT BY THE EUROPEAN TRADITION FROM HYPOCRATES, GALEN, AVICENNES, SENECA, KHUN, KNEIP, THE MUESLI SWISS DOCTORS KRISH-BERCHNER, BREUSS, CARTON AND MANY OTHERS.
By Dr. KIRSTINE NOLFI (Denmark)
Originally published around 1950
"BEFORE I realized the actual importance of raw vegetable food, my attitude was exactly the same as that of other doctors -- to treat the symptoms of the disease without thinking of preventing it. It ought to be the duty of the medical profession in future to find means of preventing to a much higher degree than now, instead of having to cure later on.
That I, as a doctor, went in for exclusively raw vegetable food is due to the fact that I became ill, even seriously ill, myself. I developed cancer of the breast. The disease had, of course, been preceded by wrong nourishment and wrong habits in the course of my twelve years of hospital training, when I suffered from sluggish digestion and catarrh of the stomach all the time, disorders which are still of quite common occurrence among hospital staff members. Since that time, no change of the hospital diet has taken place in Denmark in this very important domain. On one occasion I was in a dying condition because of a bleeding gastric ulcer. This made me abandon meat and fish, and I became a vegetarian. Later, I took to eating a good deal of raw vegetable food. In this manner my digestion became regulated, and I felt better, though not completely well. In the winter of 1940 to 1941, I was exceptionally tired and dull, but I was unable to ascertain any specific disease. At that time I did not understand what was wrong with me, but in the course of the Spring I discovered a small node in my right breast.
Tired and dull as I was, I did not pay any attention to it until, five weeks later, I discovered that the node was the size of a hen’s egg. It had grown into the skin, a thing only cancer does. As a doctor, I had seen enough to be unwilling to submit to the treatment of cancer generally employed. I consulted my good friend, Dr. M. Hindhede, who dissuaded a trial microscopy. It would open up the blood streams and the cancer would spread; so I gave it up. And then I felt it as quite a natural thing that I would have to carry through a one hundred per cent raw vegetable diet.
I went in search of nature and lived for a time on a small island in the Kattegat, took sun-baths from four to five hours daily, slept in a tent, bathed several times a day, and lived exclusively on a raw vegetable diet. Later I introduced this habit of life at the sanatorium "Humlegarden."
CLINICAL, EXPERIMENTAL & EPIDEMIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS THAt VEGAN FOODS CAN SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN THE MALIGNANCY PROCESS IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS.
"Studies comparing vegetarian to nonvegetaran groups show much less cancer among vegetarians, especially those avoiding dairy products" (Joel Fuhrman, MD, "Fasting and eating for Health"; , St Martin's Gfiffin NY, 1995, page 35. Among hundreds of others, the study he is referring to is: Phillips, Garfinkel et al. 'Moratilty among Californian Seventh day adventists for selected cancer sites" (Journal of National Cancer Institute, 1980:65:1097-1107)
"THERE IS STRONG EVIDENCE IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE THAT WHEN A REDUCTION IN FAT IS COMPARED TO A REDUCTION IN PROTEIN INTAKE, THE PROTEIN EFFECT ON BLOOD CHOLESTEROL IS MORE SIGNIFICANT THAT THE EFFECT OF SATURATED FAT. ANIMAL PROTEIN IS A HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC AGENT" (Bernard N. An interview with Campbell in April 22, 1994, see "Good Medicine": 1994; 3:11-14 Likewise for cancer, "....all animal food consumption, even fish and chicken, raises the rates of cancer" quoting from Dr Fuhrman (ibid., page 33), who supports this piece of allegation with over tweny years of medical practice and key studies, such as the ones orchestrated by Chen, Campbell, Peto, entitled: "A a study of diet nutrition and disease in the People's republic of China, Published by University of Oxford Press, Cornel University Press, China Publishing Hosue in 1988. (Meaning we have the undisputed evidence of the cancer effects of animal proteins for at least twenty years and the majority of MDs, oncologists and judges are still not listening.
