Think this post is maybe what you refer. Natural Hygiene was taught by Natives to USA medical people & those teachings remained the law of the land up until the late 1800's when big pharma began to take over making Natural Hygiene unjustly obsolete until early 1900's when Herbert M. Shelton re-founded the orthopaedic practice at his health sanatoriums & by the 1950's he ran for potus, but big oil land grabs & big pharma swindles had a monopoly by then, also it was further corrupted by the liquor industry that had spiraled out of control as a drug of choice ever since the 1930's. So it is way past time to make Natural Hygiene a part of our daily lives again, as the once sober apple cart was upset too many times over the years by oppressive governmental inebriated addicts who have been increasingly abusing a once sound medical practice here in America for far too long. Here is my take on needed improvements for those who have yet them or even considered changing these corrupt current laws yet. Back around the 70's reagan began shutting down state hospitals to save taxes for the rich resulting in an ever increasing spiral of homeless street people & overcrowded prisons. Reagan was inebriated on his bubbly. That points to another mess up that occurred back in the 30's when they made alcohol their drug of choice as legal recreation & criminalized other intoxicants. Past time for a resolution to both these gross errors. 1- make all drugs & alcohol legal medically with supervision. 2-drug & alcohol test all law enforcement, politicians, educators & gun owners at their own expense, never as illegal recreation in use currently. Until those insane obsolete laws, rules & regulations are changed with appropriate resolutions the errors of the past will continue to escalate.

Been eating 80-10-10 raw, fruits and leafy greens. On rare occasions an avocado. I’m 65 and finally got my health back, prior to this I was In extremely poor health, 6 medications, facing cancer surgery and medications, I skipped it all and did this instead.

thats only because you stopped eating ultaprocess foods. It has nothing at all to do with some magical powers man-made fruits and vegtables have. We did not evolve eating those things, and almost all of those plants you eat dont even exist in nature. We are obligate carnivores. Id switch to a meat based diet, plus small amounts of fruit, before your health tanks from all those plants youre eating. People always do good on veganism short term, and its only ever because of the things they stopped eating. Inevitably after a while your body and mind start to break down. Its not our diet as humans, we are NOT herbivores. Just look at that state of Dr. Doug Graham. Hes a posterchild for not being vegan.

Rip-tried raw for one day after watching Doug Graham interview and kept on going for the next month. Feel better than ever. Am a 67 year old female.

A good talk to listen to is Dr. Doug Lisle on Chef AJ, Raw Food vs. Cooked Starches. I know Dr. Graham, went to Costa Rica with him, he’s definitely intelligent and amazing. I did the raw food diet for 16 years … in the end I could not sustain it, lost too much weight and got sick. I’ve added cooked starches and cooked vegetables and feel much better. Still love fruit and fresh food, especially in the summer. It’s to each of us to find the right balance instead of following a certain person or protocol. Humans are very adaptable.❤️

Dr. Greger…..help!!!!!😊

I have eaten fruitarian for 3 years (sweet fruits + fruit-vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, bel peppers, pumpkins, zucchini, etc. raw and cooked), and I was perfectly healthy. At my peak to be precise. And I have experienced on myself what Dough is telling here: I didn't had to drink much water because I was eating the best water from the fruits, my digestion was perfect and smelling like fruits, high energy, never got sick, started having spiritual experiences, eating spontaneously sweet mono-meals for lunch and vegetables at dinner, max half avocados a day or none, again, spontaneously felt not necessary, etc. etc. Grains and legumes felt so heavy. But yes, it is a diet that is more advanced than the times we live in. If you eat like that you are eating always alone. The social aspect of eating can become difficult to manage. I am eating WFV now, low fat, low sugar, lots of fruits and fasting, and I am happy with it. Peace and blessings all. 💚💖

I commend Rip for finally taking a look at 89/10/10! I’ve been following the 80/10/10 lifestyle for 17 years now. It’s definitely the best diet anyone could eat. Thank you Rip for interviewing Doug and sharing this !!! I know you can change your diet to this after all you’ve a freaking firefighter!💪🏼🙏🏼👍🏼👏🏼🥭🍉🫐🍇🥬🥑🍓🍑🍌❤️

I am definitely flabbergasted by this video and would love to learn more about the raw vegan diet. If what he said is true about the four "gens" in cooked plsnts, then that alone would make me seriously consider raw vegan diet.

I have done fruit leafy greens and a few nuts for most summers as a way to start my yearly exercise program. I start in Dec and by the summer I’m running and lifting heavy. During Covid I worked at a hospital and I stopped doing that. My health got weird. Now back to fruits-intermittent fasting-and exercise like Doug advices. He’s a sports and performance guy. This interview was the best one I have seen. Rip was curious and respectful. Loved the “gene” explanation. Message I’m taking is If your feeling ill or you want to up your performance go low fat high raw ripe fruit as much as you want and if you eat starches...boil em.

Wow. Just wow. This guy was amazing and knowledgeable and turned my world upside down. I just ordered the book!

Wow, I have friends who are raw vegans, I love that there are so many variations of what good health and diet are. I think we should all do what we are capable of sustaining in our own family dynamic. I have been slowly changing my diet for the last 15 years, I have been plant based for the last 5 and am slowly moving in the raw direction. As I age I feel better and am just as fit as I was in my 30s (I am 66) playing with changes in my diet is my new job since I retired...lol

Great interview. Dr. Doug Graham is one of my heroes - and so are you, Rip.

I love that you have that "deer in headlights" look from time to time Rip. That shows you were genuinely impacted by what you were hearing. ;-)

This made me smile. Rip was desperately trying to find a way of getting the green light for his starches. It was interesting, I can certainly believe that a mostly raw food diet could be optimal. When he stated that most doctors won’t question their ideals because of financial implications I wonder if he has considered that this could be true for him also. Definitely made me think about adding more raw food to my diet.

Rip, I've known about you and family for a very long time. The Engine 2 story intrigued me so I shared it with a firefighter-friend of mine. I also shared your father's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease book with my dad, the concepts within which extended his life; please thank your dad for us. I enjoy your podcasts very much and I like watching your sister and your mom make fun things in the kitchen. As to raw: I've been raw vegan since 1985 (I was born in 1963 like you) and I had always hoped at some point that raw food information would reach you from some personal/influential source, such as friends. I'm so glad to see that you're taking a peek at it now. It has worked for me for almost 40 years. I learned about it from a boyfriend back in the mid 80's when he explained to me that eating raw, and especially, eating fruit, makes people sensitive. I was hooked from that moment on. Best to you and yours! :)

I have nothing but respect for all the WFPB pioneers and doctors but who can argue with the fact that humans evolved eating largely fruits and vegetables with a few nuts, seeds and edible tubers. How could we be the only species on the planet that needs to cook our food in order to eat? Just a paradigm switch for us to relearn to add raw fruits and vegetables back to our diet. I’m happy to learn more. Thank you Rip and Doug for a great interview.

I follow a plant strong diet. I’m 75% raw. I feel better if I’m predominately raw. But I see the benefits of beans, lentils and sweet potato’s. All I’m hearing is his opinions, no data.

What a great interview. I absolutely love my cooked foods (oatmeal, potatoes, grains and starches galore) but this podcast gave me some things to consider for sure! Will definitely be upping my fruit and raw food intake; and hey ya never know…just like I once said I could never give up cheese, maybe some day I will be giving up cooked foods as well 😳

My re-phrase here is that ‘this diet works well for very few people because VERY few people do it’, regarding the numbers. All animals in the wild do I must add. Personal experience best decides in the end when we can listen to the body on it, even for awhile... Are you yourself trying it out, any interest there? Or is the idea itself not for you? So glad we all have free will anyway, and are free ‘to do or not to do’. I met Doug Graham’s at a weekend retreat in the UK near 20 years ago and I find him as inspiring and elequent and as knowledgeable today as he was then. Thanks for being you Doug. And thanks for your book and easy audio📚

Thank you Rip ❤and what a fabulous discussion! I love how Dr Gram talked about the gens. Wild! And the school paste! I always ate that stuff! It’s really dawning on me why raw fruits and veg is vastly superior. And the Dr Pauling reference re our greatly lacking vitamin c and we would be consuming his prescribed amount if that is what we ate. I saw Dr. Graham years ago while I was on a high fat raw food diet and I was not interested!! I was feeling better and couldn’t imagine just eating fruits and vegetables. I’m strictly WFPB 7 years now and still overweight and w/autoimmune problems. I am going to step up the raw fruits and vegetables!

Rip - I’m curious if you’ve had on Dr. Brooke Goldner? I just discovered her yesterday and her work on reversing immune disorders through plant based eating is amazing. She has mentioned the success increasing after introduction of more plant based foods. However, she also said she is about 75% raw herself. Maybe she would be a good follow up to this interview and offer a different perspective.

A lot of what Doug teaches is in fact supported by science. However, he has taken his anti-cooking to extremes. For microbiome, cooked whole grains and legumes are fantastic and you CANNOT feed certain kind of good bacteria in the microbiome solely with fruits and vegetables. To each his own, people are healthy and productive on all kinds of whole food vegan diets. Just avoid the overprocessed vegan foods like fake meats/TVP, oil, refined sugars, and cooking methods that produce advanced glycation end-products (AGE) and acrylamide and you should be fine. You can also watch a video by John Kohler from okraw who after 28 years has started to eat some cooked starches. Raw foods have tremendous nutrients and ability to block cancer, no one is doubting that. Its just that to completely condemn ALL cooked food is NOT supported by any science.

Just ordered book. Always open to new ideas

Hey Rip, see "Raw food diet myths" by Michael Greger. I found Doug to be very convincing, but there was a definite lack of scientific evidence cited in his specific diet. While I agree with his proposition that we should eat plant strong, the idea that cooking grains and plants can harm us I find to be a bit over the top. After all, cooking tomatoes releases lycopene and cooking grains makes many more nutrients available. Thanks for all you do! Plant Strong Brother!

I agree that we all need more fruit, but if I have to choose if I'm going to pay attention to Drs. Esselstyn, Campbell, Barnard, Mills, Klaper, and other, or pay attention to Dr. Graham, it's not really a difficult choice. If there is a followup, could we see Rip's dad on the show as well?

Great interview Rip!! I enjoyed this so much. I love to learn more about food and health.

Starches are good for us. If we didn't have our potatoes, both white and orange... our squashes, corn and peas. Some legumes and grains like rice, farro, quinoa and steel oats every now and then, we might fall into the sad American diet all over again and that would be the worst choice of all

I can only argue that starch is bulkier, fills you up longer. For people who like a satiated feeling, want to go longer between meals, those coming out of bingeing disorders might need that starch to feel a warmer maybe cozier feeling in their stomachs. I guess that's an argument for starch.

Very very nice podcast and great information.will wait for next time this doctor comes.😊

There is no doubt that Doug Graham's diet with raw food is health promoting and his explanations always *seem* sensible at first just by listening to what he is saying on the surface. I much rather prefer Rip's father's Dr. Essestyn's calm and scientifically rational approach, and his response to questions makes a more valid point. Dr. Essestyn references long-term population studies, which convinces me that his heart disease reversal diet, which he has proven with all his patients at death's door, is more suitable diet, which I prefer to follow. 20 years ago I was following the Doug's raw 80/10/10 diet for a good amount of time, for me all that fruit was difficult to eat, and could never feel satieted, and I missed having cooked starches. I still eat plenty of fruits and vegetables along with healthy cooked starches and find it completely satisfying with no ill effect. I see that Doug is still using the same strawman fallacies instead of valid studies. The same "bear making a sandwich" anaology I heard over 20 years ago in one of his lectures. Making an analogy between a human and a bear doesn't work in this way to prove his point. Doug himself admits to also mixing foods to make salad dressing, so using the bear/sandwich analogy is not relevant to human behavior and human brain function. Should we not eat on plates and use forks and knives since bears don't? The paste argument could also be said of the sap that comes out of a mango stem, you know. Not to mention that whole grains are not "paste". Also, there's an air of arrogance in Doug's tone, and it is reminiscent of a similar arrogance I admittedly felt as a raw foodist all those years ago.

Love Dr. Graham! Great interview!

I agree with him, in the last week I have switched to way more raw foods, especially cruciferous salads and eat smaller amounts of cooked foods. As a result the last few pounds that I’ve had trouble keeping off are finally coming off. Plus I’m feeling amazing.

Just when I thought I was eating super healthy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This makes sense, especially the point about starches. But beans, lentils and tofu? Isn’t that the cornerstone of all the blue zone diets? And what about the Okinawans and their sweet potatoes? My biggest concern is that I don’t think I will feel full. I recognize that I am having the same resistance I had before going vegan. I would love a Part 2. If you could do a live where we can ask questions that would be great! Thank you so much for this video. At the very least, I’ll be eating more fruit.

Great interview!

Dr. Graham certainly has his info at his fingertips. And is (as I'm sure Rip would attest to!) very convincing. My only qualm is that in the winter/cold months one needs heat. Heated foods and drinks. I had a fitness client (I'm a former longtime fitness trainer) who started to eat exclusively raw. When the winter months came (in the NE of USA) he ignored my entreaties to add some warmed/cooked food. Unfortunately, as I figured, when exposed to a cold virus he had a nasty case of it (while thinking he was invulnerable because he ate raw) for a long time. In my experience, it seems most successful raw foodists have to live in southern/tropical climates (it seems the good Dr. did same) where they get plenty of sun and warmth. So, of course they tend not to have to supplement (Vit D) but most of us live more northerly (and have for many thousands of years!) and so I'm doubtful that this diet is the best for us... However, that said, I think eating more raw fruits and veggies and cutting out the processed foods will do wonders for 99.99% of us.

Thanks for doing zoom ins during this talk, it helps a lot! Great discussion!

John Kohler is a primarily raw food vegan for a couple decades. He is now including some cooked foods in his diet. He researches a lot and gets test/lab results on his blood etc. What he found out was that raw foods only he didn't have an optimal microbiome, didn't have all the right kinds of good bacteria etc in his gut. He states it's important to him to look at science and his test results. You can see some of his videos on this on Ok Raw KZread channel. It was interesting.

I find Doug Graham's information interesting. His position would be stronger if his substantiations weren't mostly anecdotal and observational, or just setups to make his point. The school paste example is terribly weak; it's really just linguistic play. That said, no dietary regimen makes my digestive system feel better than raw fruits and vegetables. And grains, even the "healthy" ones like oats, do just the opposite. Ditto potatoes and sweet potatoes.

I dont think the paste example is weak since potatoes and rice are used to make glue for a very long time

I looked into his information, and some people died during Dr. Douglas Graham's fasting retreats. Even the diet is too extreme, and the guy looks way too old for his age. Stick with plant-based and Rip's way of eating. Some foods consumed raw are great, but variet assures you're getting all of the nutrients.

Agreed. I take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. If I’m going to listen to a chiropractor give me diet and health advice, it’s going to be Alan Goldhamer- who has fasted thousands of people and none of them died.

Rips style of eating is much more appealing, tastier and easier for the general public to do, I think. If I didn't eat starches like potatoes beans and rice every now and then I would be suffering with binges and yo yo dieting. Rips style is satiating and heart healthy, no matter what.

Nice information

Wonderful gentlemen! Live long fruit strong!

I respect the information you present to the plant based raw food communities as a Sheltonian Natural Hygienist & the eclectic nature of what Shelton called one's individual constitution. From Yale to Kale, eh. In my west coast case I went from Stanford to Durian over 50 years ago during Herbert M. Shelton's latter life time subscribing to his bulletins, books & journals. I consider myself a personal friend & colleague of Dr John L. Fielder for many years. Again thankyou for what you & your family do to get the message out there with our healthier plant based social revolution in a good way.

This was the most interesting podcast on a dietary subject since the Chris Gardner "Everything You Thought You Knew About Protein Is Wrong" discussion on Zoe. Not sure about giving up beans, I love potatoes and rice on occasion, though I can live without bread & pasta I believe. The only thing was that I thought the doctor didn't elaborate enough when Rip brought up The Blue Zones (those people overall live a long time, so I suppose he believes his raw vegan diet would stretch out the longevity & quality of life). I liked the part especially about the malliard reaction or was it reactions? Anyway, worthwhile exploring further. Thank you Rip for willing to put this guest (and others) ON who don't fully see eye-to-eye with you on everything!

Omg I love this! The respect of both of you! Both of you have helped me on my health journey in big ways! It’s wonderful to see men help others with this wonderful health journey, I’m now finally vegan and juice some. I plan to do a cleanse and go into raw living food. I keep hearing I’ll need b12 and iodine, do you supplement at all dr doug graham?

Not many better people you can have your health influenced by. Thanks to both of you. It’s crazy how far away we’ve allowed ourselves to get from the simple natural human diet. Now it’s a project to get it back there.

YOU gave yourself a B-, he gave you a C 😂😂😂

That made me chuckle!

I was blown away by Doug's comment on his fiber intake... Interesting podcast.

One question I have is if Doug takes a B12 supplement?

Wow can't believe i just now found this interview! After all these years Rip tares open the vegan community communication lines! Rip and Doug Awesome !!! Thank you guys so much Bridging the divine! 💪🏼

Rip, next time you have Dr. Graham on, please ask him about how the average human has roughly three times more salivary amylase gene copies than chimpanzees, and bonobos may not have any salivary amylase at all.

Good point!!🙌🏼❤️

Nathan Pritikin established the 80-10-10 long before Graham 'created' this concept.

Great job Rip! I was raw vegan for a long time now plantstrong and would never go back..

But I do eat a lot of raw and sprouts

Awesome.

Higher raw in the summer months makes sense

I've been trying to follow Dr McDougall's WFPB starchivore diet for years and it's never satisfied me or helped me lose the extra pounds I've gained over the years. I also don't think Dr McDougall and his wife look so good on it, they seem to look kinda dried up in a way. Doug Graham on the other hand looks very vibrant and glowing and after following his high fruit based raw diet I feel amazing. The diet is very freeing in that I don't need to cook any more.....how good is that! And, I never thought I'd say this, but fruit is actually very satisfying. It's summer here in the UK and the weather is good for a change, and I might feel differently when it starts to get cold, I might have to add a veggie soup here and there to warm me up, but for now I'm really loving this raw diet. I'm not sure if I've lost any weight - it's too soon to say and I never weigh myself, but the weird thing is that I don't really care any more because i'm feeling so great.
