TL;DR — Aajonus Vonderplanitz’s raw-food manifesto (2005 revised edition): his own story and a ‘Primal Diet’ of raw meat, raw milk and raw eggs presented as a cure for disease.
The expanded and revised 2005 edition of We Want to Live! by Aajonus Vonderplanitz, the self-taught nutritionist behind the “Primal Diet”. It opens with promotional endorsements and tells his own story of recovering from serious illnesses, which he credits to eating only raw animal and plant foods.
The book argues that cooked food is toxic and that a diet of raw meat, fish, raw unpasteurised dairy, raw eggs and vegetable juices heals chronic disease, and it presents case stories and recipes in support.
What it is: a self-published diet book built on anecdote; its central health claims are not supported by medical evidence, and raw meat and raw milk carry real infection risk. Pseudo-science.
