Why We Should Eat Plant Instead of Animal Nutrients
Although it would not be an ideal diet, the truth is that we could eat meat, fish, eggs and dairy if we consumed them raw. In the early 1900’s, a therapy called the raw milk cure became popular for relieving a number of aliments. It worked well to some extent because raw milk is full of enzymes and therefore was not a strain to the body’s digestive system. The milk also was not adulterated by growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics that are prevalent in today’s commercial dairy products, which of course are pasteurized and therefore dead. It was the unprocessed, enzyme rich nature of the raw milk that didn’t tax the digestive system, but instead put the body into a better position where it could cure itself.
We can expect similar results from any animal food if it is consumed raw.[i] Like raw plant 
foods, raw animal food sources are far more alkaline because they haven’t been cooked. Cooking introduces great amounts of acidity to all foods, especially animal food sources. It also denatures the protein structure and other natural chemical substances of foods. We find people around the world who consume raw animal foods to be more alkaline than those who do not. For instance, the Japanese of Okinawa who consume mostly raw seaweed, fish and cooked rice are among the longest living peoples in the world.[ii]
Animal Protein: meat-fish-eggs-dairy
However, raw animal food sources (meat, fish, eggs and dairy) do not house the powerful nutraceutical properties that are needed to truly cure the body of disease because they do not have rejuvenative properties. Only raw algae, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds possess the nutrients that are needed by the body to completely cure itself of any disease.
Louis Pasture
Because of Louis Pasteur’s theory that disease is found in food sources rather than within the body, we ended up with pasteurization and our eternal quest to kill germs. Pasteurized dairy products contain no enzymes and therefore no life. Pasteurization, which is used to process many foods in order to “save” us from germs, transforms them into substances that are quite dangerous for the body. The curse of Louis Pasteur lives on.
[i] The central principle of the Raw Paleo or Paleolithic Diet is to eat only the foods our Paleolithic ancestors would have, including raw meat, raw fish, raw eggs and raw dairy products.

He is a naturopathic doctor, Master Herbalist and a Certified Nutritional Consultant. He has traveled extensively, both domestically and abroad, visiting over 32 countries. He published Confessions of a Body Builder: Rejuvenating the Body with Spirulina, Chlorella, Raw Foods and Ionized Water (2000), Achieving Great Health (2005), The Miraculous Properties of Ionized Water, (2006) which is the only book on the market that exclusively addresses Ionized Water, Twelve (Fiction, 2007) and Honoring the Temple of God (2008). He considers himself a Naturalist, meaning he pursues health in the most natural way possible. He studies and promotes nature as the only way to true health.
From 2002-2004 he hosted the radio program Achieving Great Health, which was heard by thousands of people each day. His guests included some of the most well-known and respected names in the natural health world.
With the help of his father, Dr. Robert F. McCauley, Sr. (Doctorate in Environmental Engineering, MIT, 1953) they started Spartan Water Company in 1992, which sold vended water machines in supermarkets. Robert Jr. founded Spartan Enterprises, Inc. in 1993. He is a Certified Water Technician with the State of Michigan. He is also a Type II Public Water Supply Specialist and has the certifications of S-5 and D-5. The McCauley family has a long history in the water industry. Bob's father pioneered environmental issues regarding ground water and drinking water quality. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1953 for his thesis on removing radioactive strontium from water. He earned his doctorate in Environmental Engineering in less than 2 years, one of the shortest doctoral studies in the history of MIT. He taught civil, sanitary and environmental engineering at Michigan State University for 18 years before retiring to run Wolverine Engineers & Surveyors of Mason, Michigan, for 17 years. His reputation throughout Michigan as a water quality expert was legendary. Bob worked for his father's company for 12 years learning the water business, which dealt primarily with municipalities, including water quality and sanitary sewer issues.
After apprenticing with his father, Bob moved on to the bottled water business. He established greater Michigan's biggest selling bottled water: Michigan Mineral – Premium Natural Water.
