Medical
introduction of Doctor PAUTHE
My course of general practitioner enabled me to be confronted
with a great number of pathologies concerning all the ages of life, from the new-born baby to the old man; two quasi
obsessional questions haunt my medical practice:
- why so many of
diseases?
- why so many of patients?
Medical search keeps going forward and makes move back the beliefs in
the profit of knowledge. The Western analytical mind carried to
its paroxysm thanks to the contribution of data processing made
it possible to push back the ramparts of ignorance unceasingly.
One currently knows that the genetic heritage can sometimes be
sufficient to reveal some pathologies, such cystic fibrosis..
Most of the time, however, the cause of the diseases which affect
to us is only the resultant of confrontation between genetic data
and environmental factors.
Those are classified in physical harmful effects (heat, cold,
ionizing radiations, noise, etc), chemical harmful effects
(exposure to mercury, lead, asbestos fibres, solvents, etc),
microbial harmful effects (exposure to the HIV or flu virus,
bacillus of Koch, etc.) and food harmful effects.
These environmental factors are precipitant elements . For
example a sweetened diabetes will appear all the more precociously, if
equivalent genetic heritage on a subject who will undergo the misdeeds of a too rich food.
For the moment, we unfortunately do not know how to modify in an
easily reproducible way our genetic heritage, although the
efforts of the scientists are dedicated more and more in this
direction.
We can on the other hand control with more success the
environmental factors and among those, the food factors.
Since the night of times, many authors, doctors or not-doctors, have put forward ideas concerning the food practices and specified
their design of the best nutritional options.
This choice could be guided by steps of all kinds, medical, but
also religious, sectarian or simply commercial and could
condition sometimes contradictory consultings, even dangerous ones.
With a scientific rigour, let us start from a very simple basic
report: a certain number of conditions necessary and sufficient
made it possible for Nature to reveal Life (there are several
hundreds of million years), then Man (several million years
ago) and to support his development; isn't an upheaval of this
environment (in particular food) likely to be dangerous?
Our genome is very close to our brothers primates in spite of an
evolution of the species of several million years already, and it
is identical to that of the man of the paleolithic superior (man
of Cro-Magnon). Thinking our respective
metabolisms still answer the same lawsmay not be a far-fetched idea.
Wouldn't a diet including 100% of natural food , without
artifices of culture, conservation and preparation, composed
primarily of crudenesses, therefore near to the paleolithic
feeding, be in conformity with the needs of our organization and
thus more favourable with the maintenance of our health?
A growing number of scientific authors and publications seem to
agree on answering it is. It is in
any case this message of prevention which I endeavour to make
pass near the fraction of my customers lends to receive it.
The purpose of this work is to easily implement raw feeding, many patients
giving up this
fight against the culinary taboos quite simply by lassitude,daily
tomato salads and grated carrots overcoming keenest.
I thank Jean Marie Ozanne for having made me even the enjoy these recipes. One can eat
raw food and remain a gourmet, the variety of the tastes and
preparations being so large.
