Foreword
by Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
In no aspect of human behavior is there greater variety, controversy, and dogma than there is in the field of nutrition. For many years, John Tobby pushed the idea of a totally raw or un cooked diet, and yet, he died in his 70's of cancer of the prostate. Anne Wigmore has also pushed a diet that is largely raw.Nutrition varies from the average American diet, which most intelligent people would admit is terrible, to the Macrobiotic diet,the Pritikin diet, the Haas Eat To Win diet, and the McDougal Plan. These latter four all have a great deal of cooked food but are primarily five to ten percent fat and mostly complex carbohydrate-containing diets. Proponents all make a number of claims for their respective diets.
When I first heard from Severen Schaeffer about Anopsonnutrition and the statements that he was making about its efficiency, I found it intriguing and somewhat hard to believe. Fortunately, I had an opportunity to sponsor a workshop on Anopson, or instinctive nutrition, therapy. My own reactions to this way of eating were fascinating, as were those of other attendees at this small workshop. I consumed huge quantities of plumsand honey among other delicacies with a variety of reactions to

tell me when I was satiated. I tried to continue eating this way and found it difficult, primarily because I could not find raw fish or beef that I was willing to eat. I think it would be difficult to practice the method correctly without these two foods.
Several other attendees at that workshop, however, have stayed on it to a greater or lesser extent with remarkably encouraging results. One dentist who had had severe psoriasis and micronychia has reported marked improvement within a few months. He had tried many other treatments without success previously. Increased energy and sense of well-being have been reported uniformly by those attempting the diet, most with mild modifications.
The video tapes of individuals in France who have had the optimal Anopson diet are as impressive as anything I have ever seen in clinical medicine. I have certainly seen enough in those video tapes and in the response of those individuals attending the Anopson workshop to convince me that Instinctive Nutrition deserves extensive, careful, scientific study. For those individuals who have significant illnesses, I cannot think of a better and safer approach than Anopsotherapy or Instinctive Nutrition.
