Yo parents! Do your children fit the stereotype that they hate vegetables? Specifically they may hate cooked green vegetables. Do you really think your children are missing something by not eating the cooked vegetables you prepared? But did you ever think that cooked vegetables may be bad for your child’s health?

Let’s repeat that hypothesis: Cooked Vegetables may be bad for your child’s health. This is an observation written by one of the great living healers of our time: Aajonus Vonderplanitz. In his book he writes:

TUBERCULOSIS is a severe detoxification of very volatile toxins that are hormone-related and discharged from the lungs. These toxins may affect other glands, organs and tissues as the toxins travel through the blood. The volatile toxins are mainly formed from cooked green foods in people who lack enzyme-mutations for eating cooked greens, including smoking tobacco or herbs. See If I Lack Enzyme-Mutations, What Foods Should I Avoid?, page 174.

Avoiding cooked greens, plus eating plenty of raw green salads, and plenty of hearty foods (like pasta with raw fat and raw beef, or raw beef sandwiches) has strengthened and healed tubercular sufferers without permanent damage and without medication.

Did you read that? Aajonus actually is of the opinion that cooked vegetables may be bad for your health. That the theory that cooking vegetables may make them edible does not take into account that some people or a good number of people may be allergic to cooked vegetables.

Most vegetation by definition are inedible raw. But there are some that are edible. And there are some that need little processing. And some even raw and processed may have anti-nutrients. So this is not a clear cut blanket thing, you need to be specific as to which vegetables, which are cooked, which are raw, which are safe to eat, which are beneficial.

Personally, when I went on a raw paleo diet, I gave up largely on vegetables. I realized that many of the things we think as vegetables are actually fruit! If it has seeds, it is a fruit. Bitter melon, zucchini, tomatoes are all fruits… not vegetables. Some vegetables I consume are: celery, kamote tops (pounded for juice), onions (root crop). No, I do not consume raw leaves. Nor do I give cooked leaves to my children. My children are given meat, fruit and rice.

I do process cooked vegetables into Bielers Soup as a remedy for healing gut disturbances to solidify poop and nourish the liver, but somehow it is easier to feed raw meat to my children than for them to eat this cooked vegetable soup.

My suspicion about cooked vegetables came about with the healing of my first born son of tuberculosis. In the 2 months that I personally supervised his diet, we were on raw bloody meat and fruit. That was it. Zero vegetables. If Aajonus is right, then our old fling with cooked vegetarianism was the culprit in my son’s tuberculosis.

So call me a funny parent but I do not serve cooked vegetables to my children. I may allow them to eat raw organic salad from time to time with their grandparents and I may serve raw carrot sticks and raw celery sticks some times, but I make it a point not to serve cooked vegetables to my children.

So we’ve got this raw paleo diet pegged with raw fruits, raw vegetables and sometimes raw meat for the children. This breakfast they had melon. They just left for school and their morning meal is fresh raw tuna sashimi. Their lunch is pan seared tanguige fish and rice. Their mid afternoon snack will be raw fruits. And dinner tonight is cooked beef with some rice.
