So then I thought, OK I'm gonna eat raw cauliflower and it was delicious... the best bit was the stalk (you can peel the skin of the stalk and the inner part is really sweet), I also enjoyed the baby leaves closest to the white head. Then I went on to eat raw swede. I thought this might be pushing it too far but no they are delicious... with swede I peel of the skin. Then I found that I could munch my way thru brussels sprouts by the dozen... they are gorgeous, much nicer than cooked. You might think that I became full of gas but if you have been fasting and keeping your colon cleaned (enemas) and you just eat between 1/2 to one kilo (1 to 2 pounds) of food a day it is enough... this is the way that Methusulah lived (See Essenes Gospel of Peace). Well now I learn from reading the lovely posts above that I can eat raw potatoe... how splendid! I will try with sea salt and perhaps lemon... Vinegar is apparently not a good choice because it is a product of decay. I also found out that raw Eggplants (aubourgines) can be eaten. Well I am redicovering a healthier life now at 42 and loving all the foods local to my country at this time of the year. Fantastic!

I really enjoy the taste. I only eat one kind of potato and that is the red rooster variety, really crunchy and juicy, I crave this more than chocolate which is probably a good thing I hope. I eat about 3 a day sometimes more peeled thickly and rinsed well avoiding any green parts which you hardly see in the rooster potato.

After my initial reaction of distate and disbelief, I decided to find out more and came across this blog. Although I'm still not sure whether I will be able to do this on a regular basis, I'm so pleased to have found such reassuring information and can now make an informed decision. I was told that one small raw potato contains all the nutrients and minerals our body needs to maintain good health and judging by all the previous comments, that seems to be the case.

There you all were, writing exactly what I wanted to hear. I won't get worms, I won't die, etc. I have eaten raw potatoes since I was very small, starting when my mother was peeling them for dinner. Now I am 67 and still eat raw potatoes. I peel them, wash them in cold water, slice them up thinly and then sprinkle a little salt on each slice. Oh my goodness, they are SO good! My husband laughed and laughed at me after we married 11 yrs. ago when he first saw me eating raw potatoes. Now he doesn't even flinch when I hurry to the kitchen for one. Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I was almost embarrassed to even Google “eating raw potatoes with salt” but I finally did it anyway. There you all were, writing exactly what I wanted to hear.

He wasn't expected to live too far beyond twenty with the particular disorder. One of his doctors had prescribed him to eat raw potatoes. Back then I thought this was odd, yet significant, for I too have always had a craving for raw potatoes. He lived to close to 40. I now try to eat several things regularly. I call it my 'foods of the earth diet'. I buy a bag of fresh, smooth, red potatoes, russets. I will pull one out, wash it thoroughly with high pressure spray from my water hose, leaving the skin on, salt it nicely with sea salt, and eat it whole. My body just craves this to no end. I will eat 2 or 3 per day. Another food in my 'FOTE' diet consists of a can of mixed nuts. A can will last me 4 or 5 days. No one can tell me that thus far, between the raw potatoes from the ground, the sea salt, and the wide variety of nuts, that I am not getting an amazing variety of vitamins and minerals for my cellular health and growth. Now figure in bananas and easy cooked spinach, containing onion, garlic, and a good shot of Trappy's hot sauce, a spoon of butter, and a sprinkle of sugar. This is the nucleus of my diet. But there is more. I eat salmon oil capsules, 1 calcium suppliment, 4 flintstone vitamins, 4 Acici tabs daily, washing them down with V-8 juice or Natural Light beer. Of course I drink milk, orange juice, tea, coffee, almost anything that I can get my hands on. But I always ask myself, "Is it healty?" and I watch how much I take in. I take in a lot. Friends ask me what I am high on, and I might say, "Oh, just a couple of Red Bulls". I don't mean to sound sacreligious or anything, but I feel like God! I am fixing to go make me a mayonaise sandwich and a shot of milk and listen to a little brain sync before I go flying in my dreams. I am a gifted artist, portrait painter, and a musician, play lead guitar and sing lead in a band. I make a living doing both of these. I am 56 but feel like I am 25. I don't wear glasses nor contacts, I have all of my teeth. And, I am married to a woman 20 years younger than me. I think that it is great being Mikey, I will eat anything including raw potatoes. There are benefits and properties there that we don't fully realise. For a couple of years I ate the peelings of a big thick orange every day and gave the sweet middle part to the nearest person. I did this to saturate my cells with interfuron. I could go on and on but I will close by saying, "If you don't give your body the very special substances that it needs to maintain itself, WHO WILL?" If you deprive it, thinking, "Yukk", you will go down like a dog, ha ha!" I'm just trying to help you get better. Now, I'm going to get my snack and my flintstones. Adious Amegos!
