Raw Family

"We are the Boutenko family, also known as the Raw Family. The four of us embarked on a diet of entirely raw foods in 1994, when we became seriously ill."

"Victoria had arrhythmia and edema and was obese and depressed.  Igor suffered from painful rheumatoid arthritis and had severe hyperthyroid. Sergei was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and was supposed to go on insulin. Valya had asthma."

"After we went on a raw diet, we healed all of our health problems."

Green Smoothies: An Easy Way to Love Greens "...In my eager quest, I started looking at every single food that exists for humans... After many wrong guesses, I finally found the right one...  one food group that particularly matches ALL human nutritional needs: greens. The truth is, we in my family were not eating enough greens...  Another thing I noticed is that the chimpanzees really love greens... but the truth was that the green leaves were not very palatable for me and that presented another problem. To eat greens was always more like a duty for me.

The more I read about the nutritional content of greens. the more I became convinced that greens are the most important food for humans. If I could only find a way to enjoy them enough to consume the optimal quantity needed to become perfectly healthy!

... in August, 2004. The solution was so unexpectedly simple. To consume greens in these way took so little time that naturally I continued experimenting with blended greens and fruits day after day.
