The Live Food Factor – book review
The Live Food Factor
The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet For Mind, Spirit & Planet
I love books, especially those that offer the opportunity for growth as well as those that intelligently challenge my belief system. I can get very excited about a book although it happens infrequently. The Live Food Factor is a book that has really excited me.
While there is a plethora of books out there about Raw Food and Raw Food diets, in my experience, I’ve found that most are similar to religion. They focus on *the* “right way” or “correct way” to approach a Raw Food lifestyle while pointing out how other approaches are in some way “wrong” ; of course, most often the “right way” is a promotion of the author’s personal system. The Live Food Factor is a different kind of Raw Food book.
First of all, towering above all Raw Food books on the coffee table, it is a big book sporting over 650 pages. But do not be intimidated by its size, it covers a lot of ground that is easy to access and understand, organized into the following areas:
- Reasons to Go Raw
- Raw Proof – The Science
- Raw History and Leaders
- Your Journey to Raw Life
- Plus plenty of references and appendices
What I found most refreshing about the book is that it does not promote a single approach over any other, it does a fantastic job at presenting all known approaches to the Raw Food lifestyle. This is the best part of the book; it gives the reader lots of information, studies, results, and practical information on how to explore different approaches to a Raw Food Lifestyle and find what works best for *you*. The book also embraces and incorporates Natural Hygiene and does a fabulous job of presenting how it directly relates to a Raw Food lifestyle.
I cant’ say enough good things about the book. I have yet to find a single source that is as exhaustive on the subject of Raw Food that presents pretty much everything you need to know about exploring or continuing a Raw Food lifestyle. If you like the facts and hard science, there are nearly 70 scientific studies included that present evidence to the benefits of eating Raw Food.
I now refer to The Live Food Factor as my Raw Food bible. It is a must read for anyone interested in or currently incorporating a Raw Food Lifestyle on any level.

I find this book to be a fantastic reference book – though mostly for raw food programs and evidence on how raw food gives the body what it needs to heal.
While it does address nutrition and enzymatic activity I would not consider it a “handy go-to” reference for it.
I have yet to find such a reference which is why we are in the process of writing a book to be a good go-to reference. Have patience and feel free to ask any specific questions.
Is this a good reference book for nutritional/enzymatic information?
I’m looking for a good resource book to have for handy go-to information.
I’ve heard other good things about this book and have been thinking about buying it. Now i will – thanks for the review and the link!
