Very interesting idea that slight chemical damage from cooking could be worse than major damage!

This idea fits in well with the observations that minuscule amounts of some chemicals (especially pesticides) can be worse than larger amounts as they slip by the body defenses unnoticed.

As an idea to communicate to cooked foodies I have been imagining making a video of two craft kit sets - say something natural of wood, wool etc - one is heated to 180C for an hour and then you get to follow the assembly instructions.

One kit can be made correctly as intended, the other one is charred, shrunk, twisted, and doesn't fit together properly any more. How about heating your house, clothes, car etc to 180C to see they are improved  :o

A fully revised and corrected English translation is available on pdf for the forum members who ask me and provide me their e-mail address — we can't attach documents on PMs.

I did read part of it, and I partially agree with him.

I think taste and smell play a huge role in whether something is needed by the body/beneficial. For example there are studies showing mice deprived of water and electrolytes, once given the option to drink plain water or water with electrolytes, choose water with electrolytes. There's other factors too, like a person who is tired is more likely to feel sleepy. Essentially instincts, when 'listened' to, give ques for what the body needs/benefits most from.

However I partially disagree with him, because in a way I feel like he may have 'set restrictions' for certain foods that perhaps shouldn't have been restricted. Not cooked food, but perhaps salt, occasionally sprouted grains. There's also the factor of food scarcity and every food not always being available. I believe there is room for improvement in his diet, but that there is strong premise for his concepts making sense.

In this regard, I believe there is something to eating instinctively, and also living instinctively.

Salt in natural forms such as sea water or in seaweeds is not restricted. But seasoning foods with salt or whatever, is restricted because it's a way of processing foodstuffs which is relatively very new in the evolution of animals on Earth and experiments have shown that it fools our instinctive regulation as well as that of animals.

Experiments have also shown the troubles induced by wheat, sprouted or not, but an occasional consumption in of other unheated grains just soaked or sprouted hasn't triggered any troubles.

By the way, the revised and corrected English translation of GCB's main and first book is still available for free in pdf for the members who ask me.

There have been at least  5 editions since the first one in 1985. Its original French title was "La Guerre du Cru", which was subsequently changed to "Manger Vrai".

The latest edition is very recent, it's been for sale on Amazon since about a year only. I don't think there'll be another one anytime soon!

Hi all.

I want to get a hardcopy of the Instinctotherapy book.  Anyone know where I can get one?  Amazon only has kindle.

Even if it is in French, I would rather have the hardcopy.  I want to learn French anyway because I need to read more about Antoine Bechamp/Pasteur.

I hate e-books.

thanks.

You can ask Bernard Mercier, I think he's in charge of the diffusion of that book.
