Paul Nison and The Raw Life Health Show
76Who is Paul Nison?
Paul Nison has become well known as an expert on health and healing through the eating of raw foods. He is an author and raw food chef and also hosts The Raw Life Health Show series on video.
Paul's story is that at the age of 20 he was seriously ill with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's Disease, and despite seeing doctors and trying various treatments he failed to get better until in desperation he stumbled on the cure.
Paul Nison had been eating a lot of junk food before he got really ill. He knew that his serious health condition was being caused and aggravated by what he ate and drank so he started to experiment with leaving out all the things that made him worse. He found that if he ate organic fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds and ate them raw that he became well again.

The raw food diet
Paul Nison said about his past and his road to recovery: “I was eating so much unhealthy food, but didn’t care because I felt great. When I got sick, I finally realized health doesn’t start with what we add to our diet, but with what we leave out.”
This was important on two counts. First of all he had discovered that just because you feel good at the time doesn't mean something is good for you and it is possible that you are being harmed but don't know it. This is like the situation with a drug addict who feels great on the drug but is seriously damaging their health at the same time.
The second thing Paul became aware of was that to simplify his diet and to eat healthily it was not about adding any new foods but rather it was about leaving out the unhealthy ones.
Paul often talks about these points in lectures that he gives and in his books and on the Raw Life Health Show.
An increasing number of people are becoming involved in following a raw food diet and many of these people are raw food vegetarians and vegans. Paul Nison has been a vegan but has discovered that it is not necessary for him to be healthy and he has been eating some non-vegan foods in small amounts.
Paul Nison is a very religious man and found that the Bible has a great deal of advice on dieting and he follows scriptures as a guide to a healthy life. Just because Paul quotes the Bible, however, should not put off anyone who wants to learn about a healthy way of living. The information he has and the advice he shares all make excellent sense and have worked for him.
The raw food diet makes good sense because cooking destroys so many vitamins and nutrients. For example Vitamin C is destroyed if you cook a vegetable or fruit that contains it. Eating raw vegetables and fruits makes perfect sense if you want to get the full benefits of from eating these foods. Eating organic ones are best as well because they have not been grown using pesticides and herbicides.
Paul Nison believes that adequate rest is essential for good health. He says that if we wake up and feel as if we haven't had enough sleep that our feelings are correct because we haven't.

Paul Nison shares his discoveries
Paul Nison uses his website, public appearances and the Raw Life Health Show to share his discoveries about healthy eating and how to prepare raw foods to make appetizing dishes. You can see how he is on a personal journey of discovery and change that he is open about.
For example, Paul Nison had a large mole on his face and another growth on his chin but took steps to remove them using an unconventional alternative treatment. Paul applied a herbal preparation known as black salve and showed viewers of his Raw Life Health Show how the treatment worked. You can see his face before he applied the salve, with it on and afterwards as it heals up. Paul points out a word of caution about using black salve though because you do have to be very careful.
Paul Nison also answers viewers questions about the many topics that are bound to come up. He has recently spent time explaining how chocolate and cacao are actually toxic despite what is said, and how he advises carob as a healthy alternative. In one video he shows how to make a fake chocolate dessert from carob, dates and honey.
If you are thinking seriously about making changes to your lifestyle in the interests of better health then Paul Nison is a man who can tell you how he achieved healthy living for himself and cured himself of a serious condition.

Thank you for posting, Rosie!
A woman that I really respect has educated me on a subject that health educators should know about if they are really legitimate. My friend Marusha told me about
"advanced glycation end products." If Paul has studied nutrition or Dr. Bass or any of these other people, they would know about this. This is the reason that alot of cooked food DOES cause diseases. It depends how it is cooked. Paul doesn't go into detail about this important issue. The word fanatical would be a better word for people who can't accept that someone is eating 3 percent cooked food. Here is a very good article about advanced glycation end products. Also, raw vegatables are the most important thing in maintaining health, since they prevent cancer. Paul is well-meaning but I do not consider him an expert in health. Here is a wonderful article this subject of toxins in cooked food.
Very cute hub, I watch the renegade health show, its alot like this... on Youtube etc... and cooked food being bad? I hope you will look into Donna Gates, the healthiest person I have seen, she firmly believes in cooking certain foods, and if you have thyroid problems its a must...raw broccoli, cabbage etc stunt your thyroid, its too hard to break down, but she does promote culturing them, rather than cooking, especially for people who hate cooked food... the body has no room for disease if their body ecology is balanced... and our internal bacterial world is at its best... cultured,fermented veggies,kefir, coconut kefir is wonderful!
Cruciferous vegetables only cause a thyroid problem when you do not have an adequate amount of iodine in your system. This is the reason that I eat RAW kelp or RAW dulse seaweed. Well, the healthiest people I have seen are in the raw food world. Their skin is radiant, youthful and especially those people who are on RAW primal diets or RAW paleo diets. They include animal food that is free range into their diet or raw fish.
I am almost completely raw. I have never heard of Donna Gates but I do not believe in raw food unless you know what you are doing. I eat fermented veggies. They are raw.
Ex-model Carol Alt is on a raw food diet and eats animal foods. She looks alot healthier than Donna Gates. I have just checked out her video. Donna Gates looks weak and has that look of someone who lacks vibriancy. I do not have that weak look. I totally disagree with veganism and I think that I feel incredible on this diet that is raw with animal foods.
Thank you for your feedback, anonball and angel115707!
I have been checking out the raw primal people and the raw paleo people. I have also been checking out the raw vegan people. Veganism is a good cleansing diet that I do not believe is good on a long term basis. I do steam fish and I do eat it raw if it is prepared by a professional. I am eating free range organ meats medium rare and raw free range egg yolk. I am not a fanantic, but people should do more research when they hear something may cause a thyroid problem. Donna Gates is also not an expert in health, but she has some knowledge. I do not follow the renegade health show. They are a bunch of weak looking vegans. I don't buy into veganism at all. Thanks Bard for posting these videos.
Thank you for your comments, anonball! I don't think we will ever all agree on what a correct diet is but it seems crazy that people don't even know what they should eat! I am reminded of a Bob Dylan lyric: "It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves..." Part of the problem is people are making too much money out of selling diets and selling foods and are more focused on the money than the health-giving properties or not of foods.
I will be publishing further hubs in this series looking at raw foods, health and longevity.
I only know from my experience how I feel and how I radiate real health in comparison to my other diet that was a typical healthfood diet. I do believe that advanced glycation end products is a real issue that should be evaluated. It is very important because it causes pre-mature aging. It causes inflammation. How we cook is extremely important. It is best to avoid cooking but if you do cook, to cook on very low heat, with water, steam, or cook on higher heat but with only steam. Brown breads are very unhealthy. Getting a cheap dehydrator is good because you can make breads on an extremely low heat for hours. Also it is best when sprouted. They are easy to make. You can also do it in an oven on the lowest heat...they say under 118 degrees is best. I really believe that is one reason raw foodist thrive. They don't have advance glycation end products to deal with anymore and they have reduced the inflammation in their body.
Thank you for adding this important information, anonball! Most of the brown and wholemeal bread on sale where I live now has GM soya flour in it as well which is definitely not healthy!
You are very welcome. I was thankful that Marusha told me about this so I could tell others.
Here I will post this great article again about ADVANCED GLYCATION END PRODUCTS. I was cooking more of my food with water before this, but going more raw eliminates all of it if not most of it, depending on how raw you go. Then there are other issues like fruit sugars. It is endless, the things we can learn but not impossible. The pieces of the puzzle have been coming together for me, but it takes alot of effort. It is worth it. Be encouraged. : )
Thank you again, anonball! I have been reading about glycation and it is a very serious subject many people don't know anything about and think foods they are eating are good for them when they are not! I will look further into this.
Also, the text is a little small in the article so if you can make the text larger in your option box it would be much more legible. Sometimes articles do not give you the option to change text size. This is one of the best articles on the net regarding AGE. Advanced Glycation End Products.
Yes, you are correct. An older man named Jack Lalanne is now 99 yrs old. He was a famous expert. Well he still is a famous health and fitness expert. He was recommending a mostly raw food diet and steamed foods years before I was born. I don't think that many people listened. People do feel that cooking with olive oil is healthy. It is not. I had a pre-made food that was from Amy's Kitchen and it was organic yesterday. It was just cooked rice and tofu. I didn't feel well because I had a hip injury that is trying to heal. When I do not eat cooked food, the inflammation isn't there. Right now I am cooking Quinoa on very very low heat. The lowest. I still eat cooked food, but very minimally.
It is an excellent article and I am sharing it elsewhere! Thank you again!
Acrylamides are a substance that is formed out of arginine or something like this. I am just learning about this. Potato chips are high in this cancer causing substance. Also, benign food such as organic pistachio nuts are not so benign since they are dry roasted. It is better to buy raw nuts and seeds. Dry roasted nuts are also pretty high in Acrylamides. Even if you are eating organic nuts, if they are dry roasted this is associated with this advance glycation end products phenomenon. I am new to this and it is so scientific I would think it would take a long time to absorb what this is all about. The healthfood industry is selling alot of foods that are not very healthy because they don't understand how cooking can become toxic. I know Paul Nison said not to become a fanatic about this, but if someone has a serious immune disorder they should be very concerned because cooked food create more white blood cells as a result of the body recognizing a foreign body entering the system. It sounds ridiculous but I will do more research on it to see if this is a gross exaggeration or if cooked food really is toxic.
Hello again my dear music man, now this is an excellent hub, and after my daughter got cancer this is the way she is eating. Rate this hub up up love & peace darski
I think that Bard's a cool guy if he is opened to things like this. It is not that mainstream. Some people are on this diet to lose weight or to be pretty, others are on this diet because they have a life-threatening disease.
I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope your daughter fully recovers. It is possible that cooked food causes some problems. I wouldn't doubt it. When you tamper with nature, you better know what you are doing.
Thank you for your complimentary comments, anonball and Darski!
Yes, it appears that glycation is a very serious matter - just Google it! Roast foods and ones that are browned are actually very bad for us and yet most people eat these foods and are brought up on them with traditional roast dinners etc. I know I have eaten a vast amount of roast and browned foods in my life but will think twice about doing so now and certainly cut down my consumption of them
This article and the comments, have given me a wake up call to be more serious about my rawfood intake. We must not wait for an illness before we take action on our health.
V informative hub! Thanks :)
I am glad you have benefited from it! Thank you for posting!
Great article! Such an inspirational piece. I have never heard of Paul Nison. But I am a very strong advocate of organic Living. Thank you for the Hub!
You are welcome! Thank you for posting!

This is another motivational speaker on raw foods. This man's body was really in bad shape. The videos looks a bit hollywoodish but it is real. I like this video.
Thank you for the info!

I like this one is much better. He is much more real and very deep thinking and intelligent in this video. He says things that need to be heard and things that most people don't speak about.
Thank you for sharing!
this is the last one I am posting. This guy reminds me of my ex-boyfriend Dan. He is a very nice man who is into raw food. My boyfriend was into drugs though. This man is my age. There are not alot of men my age with his sort of great attitude about life and the natural world. My last boyfriend ws 22 years old. It is only older men who have a bad attitude about my age. I am Anthony's age. The raw model. I have been attacked by man aged men with gray hair. They said that I am pushing 50 when I am Anthony's age. I have dated men like Anthony most of my life. I have spoken to him and he is a great person. I have a wonderful boyfriend though. There are not many men like Anthony who are not on drugs who take care of their body at my age.
Here is his link...This is the RAW MODEL...my first person I found into raw foods. I love this guy.
Thanks for sharing, Marissa! I am currently watching Don Tolman and Markus Rothhkranz videos and there are very many I have found and have yet to see.
I love the Raw Model. Try to check it out when you have time. He is into foraging. He is also very friendly and down to earth. He uses modeling to get money so he can help the natural world and help people get into raw foodism. He is such a beautiful person. No beautiful people have been calling me old and jealous online it is only old people (women and men).
Since my last boyfriend was 22 years old, I have nothing to feel jealous about, since my boyfriends look like Anthony the raw model. Some are better looking in my mind. However, that is my opinion since I was in love with them.
i love raw vegetables and information about it.
I am glad to hear it, Surale!
