“Raw food lies at the heart of our
programs,” he explains. “We live on
live, enzyme-fi lled, water-rich foods
full of healing phytonutrients. Raw food
is still full of its life force, enzymes.
When you cook food, you kill the
enzymes responsible for our body’s
cleansing, digestion and metabolism.
Some people are healed of diseases
and emotional disorders after just a few
days of living here. This is because their
enzyme banks are refi lled, and their
bodies and mental state revitalized. ”
Raw food is becoming increasingly
popular internationally, in the US, but
it is relatively new to the Philippines.
Most of us in the group have never
eaten an exclusively “raw” meal.
For lunch, Daniw has prepared
spaghetti — with noodles made from
cucumber — and a tomato sauce
with green and black olives, a salad
of lettuce and red cabbage, raw okra,
broccoli and carrots with a variety of
different dressings and sauces. Though
light, the food is fi lling and delicious.
