One of the best known studies of Raw vs Cooked Foods with animals was a 10 yr research
project using 900 cats. Dr Pottenger fed all 900 cats the same food, the only difference
being that one group recieved it raw, while the other recieved it cooked.
The cats that were feed the uncooked raw, living foods
produced Healthy Kittens year after year with
No ill Health or Premature Deaths.
But the cats fed the same food, only cooked,
developed Heart Disease, Cancer, Kidney & Thyroid
Diesease, Pneumonia, Paralysis, Loss of Teeth, Arthritis, Birthing
Difficulties, Diminished Sexual Interest, Diarrhea, Irritability, Liver Problems,
& Osteoporosis, (the same diseases common in our American cooked-food culture).
The 1st Generation of kittens from cats fed cooked food were Sick & Abnormal,
the 2nd Generation were often born Diseased or Dead, & by the
3rd generation, the Mothers were Sterile!

The Great American Rat Experiment:
Raw Food vs the Cooked American Diet
“It has been found that a group of rats were fed diets of Raw Vegetables, Fruits,
Nuts & Whole Grains from birth grew into completely healthy specimens & never suffered
from any disease. They were never ill. They grew rapidly, but never became Fat, Mated
with Enthusiasm & had Healthy Offspring. They were always gently Affectionate & Playful
& lived in perfect harmony with each other. Upon reaching an old age, equivalent to 80
years in humans, these rats were put to death & autopsied. At that advanced age their
Organs, Glands, Tissues & all Body Processes appeared to be in perfect condition without
any sign of aging or deterioration.
“A 2nd companion group of rats were fed a diet comparable to that of the average American
& included White Bread, Cooked Foods, Meats, Milk, Salt, Soft Drinks, Candies, Cakes,
Vitamins & Other Supplements, Medicines for their ailments, etc. During their lifetime
these rats became Fat & from the earliest age, contracted most of the diseases of modern
American society including Colds, Fever, Pnemonia, Poor Vision, Cataracts, Heart Disease,
Arthritis, Cancer & many more.
“Most of this group died prematurely at ealy ages but during their lifetime most of them
were Vicious, Snarling Beasts, Fighting with one another, Stealing one another’s food &
attempting to Kill each other. They had to be kept apart to prevent totaL destruction of
the entire group. Their offspring were all sick & exhibited the same general
characteristics as the parents.
“As this group of rats died one by one or in epidemics or various diseases, autopsies were
performed revealing extensive degenerative conditions in every part of their bodies. All
Organs, Gland & Tissues, were affected as were the Skin, Hair, Blood & Nervous System.
They were all truly total physical & nervous wrecks. The same conditions existed in the
few which survived the full duration of the experiment.
“A 3rd companion group of rats was fed the same diet as the 2nd group to an age equivalent
to about 40 years in humans. They displayed the same general symptons of the 2nd group -
being Sick & Vicious so that they had to be separated to prevent them from Killing each
other & Stealing one another’s food.
“At the end of this initial period all rats in this group were placed on a strict fast,
with only water to drink for a period of several days. Then they recieved the Natural (Raw)
Diet of the 1st group of rats. Theis diet was alternated with periods of fasting & within
1 month the behavioral pattern had changed completely so that the now Docile, Affectionate,
Playful Creatures were once again able to live together in a harmonious society & from this
point on never suffered any illness.
“Several rats werre put to death & autopsied at the end of the initial period revealing
the same general deterioration as that exhibited in the 2nd group of rats. However, the
ramaining rats lived out the full duation of the experiment, to the equivalent of 80 years
in humans, & when they were autopsied ther were no signs of aging of deterioration of
disease - just as those in the 1st group. The obvious disease, degeneration & deterioration
of the body parts evident in the 1st half of life had been completely reversed & excellent
health restored.
“The same principles apply to human life as there is only 1 Truth. This it may be concluded
that sick people may be restored to health simply by choosing the Proper Diet, Fasting, &
Observing the Other Rules of Health. There is no mystery. There is no external force that
will help - all healing being accomplished within the body by the body in accordance with
the Laws of Organic Life & Health.
