Product Description
There is no knowledge more important than the knowledge of listening to our body for the sake of our own health. We have an illusion that someone from the outside can heal us. If anybody can heal us, it is only ourselves. It will take centuries for science to learn the hopelessness of the attempt to push the everchanging human body into frames of scientific theories. But it is possible to know what we need to do here and now for our health. It is possible to learn to listen to our body's voice.

 A great inspiration. September 6, 2008
This is a great little book telling the story of a family that refused to settle for the common path of illness. I thourghly enjoyed it as I have achieved healing of diabetes, high blood pressure and lost a ton of weight going on raw food. I highly recommend all of Victoria's books especially Green for Life.

I am a type one diabetic, I have been for nearly 20 years. The parents of this boy should have been aressted if this story is true. Anyone read about the 11 year old girl in florida who DIED because her parents refused to "give in" and give her medicine?
Either this boy was misdiagnosed or this story is bull. Go ahead, try to pin them down on it. I did. I e-mailed them and asked in a nonconfrontational way how this happend, how in the world their son is off insulin. The response...nothing.
If you are a diabetic, type 1, you will die with out insulin, as sure as the sun will rise. There is nothing wrong with insulin! It is a natural hormone made in our bodies, unless we have type 1 diabetes, in which case we must suppliment it. It angers me that this assertion of insulin being bad is even made, and even more, the assertion that it is optional.
If they had documentation, and actual doctor confirming their son's diagnosis, they would be rich, they would have found the cure we all are looking for, but they didn't, so please please don't buy it.

This is a very short book, but gives a good autobiographical story of a family that started learning about raw food. It was written in journal format - several family members traded off in different sections, and we see their thoughts and feelings. I like that it explained how and why the family made their food choices, and how it affected their health. All the family members are battling illnesses or disease at the start of the book, and all are healthy and not under a doctor's care by the end.

This book, chronicling the Boutenko family's evolution from modern day diet lemmings to planetary revolutionaries, is an excellent introduction to the raw food lifestyle. It is appropriate for anyone who is curious about raw foods, how they can change lives, and how we can achieve our dreams if we open our hearts and minds. To top it all off, there are some wonderful pictures and recipes in the end. Like all of Boutenko's books it is incredibly personal, engaging, and this book in particular is the perfect read for true accounts from real people who made up their minds to change their lives, and in turn the world. Please refer to "Green for Life" and the 8th edition of "12 Steps to Raw Foods" (both by Boutenko) for more scientific insight.

I guess I just can't jump onto the raw food bandwagon and actually, I have no reason to as I'm healthy. I read Carol Alt's awful book and then this one. This one is a little better than Alt's, so I gave it 2 stars, but frankly, I do not believe that fasting for what, 2 weeks, is good. Especially not for kids and definitely not for anyone who participates in athletics--I find it really hard to believe that her son could participate in marathons while fasting.
It's just a little too much meditating and philosophizing on the wonders of the human body for me in this book and other raw food books. I'll stick to my fruit, salads and cooked potatoes & bread with my meat as a side dish.
