and i know most people say that when they eat raw and greens they dont get any flus or viruses. Then how come some apes and chimps still suffer from aids and ebola viruses etc?
The reason i want to know is that when a flu pandemic happens the raw foods we eat might not be enough to save us?

I think you'd have to look at the monkeys which are carriers of AIDS vs the ones who actually get sick from it, and same for any other virus. It's like we all have cancer cells in our bodies but it depends on our immune response as to whether it goes any further. It may be that very few apes and monkeys (on their proper diet) actually get sick even though they've been exposed. I guess you'd have to look deeper into the research.

I have spoken to a lot of raw vegans about this subject.

All of them have said that they STILL get flu and viruses.

But they all said that the following occurred:

* They only had a mild infection compared to other people.

* The duration was minimal.

* They recovered quickly.

* They only caught one virus, not every virus doing the rounds.

Also I don’t think that chimps are a good example to use because they are not pure raw vegans – (i.e.) if the opportunity arises, chimps will kill and eat other animals (like spider monkeys and small deer)

The comments above are also true.............."we all have cancer cells in our bodies but it depends on our immune response as to whether it goes any further".
