Obviously I speak only for myself. Many raw-fooders are strongly anti-supplement, some going so far as to claim they are all harmful. (The more extreme position is typically voiced by natural hygiene purists.) Based on the scientific research available, I recommend that strict raw vegans take the following supplements: Vitamin B-12, DHA. Depending on individual considerations, these other supplements may be potentially of value IN SOME CASES: taurine zinc (fruitarians) iodine (for the anti-salt crowd) selenium (for vegans in Europe; if you eat food from California, the soil there has loads of selenium). The B-12 & DHA recommendation has the support of many vegan/vegetarians nutritionists. The remaining suggestions are based on my research plus observations of what rawfooders eat/don't eat. Let me make it clear that I do not prescribe anything, and am merely an information source. I condemn those raw crazies (mostly natural hygeinests in the mold of TC Fry) who try to function as "diet doctors" -- using diet to cure disease. You should see a qualified health professional if you are sick. By definition, the word "qualified" next to the term health professional, excludes everyone whose only training is in natural hygiene. Now to the real point: I don't sell anything; I don't endorse one brand of supplements over another; I don't promote supplements. Yes, I suggest B-12 and DHA for strict vegans, but don't promote one brand over another. (I do however criticize some supplements for being too expensive: would you believe B-12 in spray-can form? Super-expensive; tablets are much cheaper and proven effective.) I am not interested in selling anything. My website has no banner ads, no popups, no ads-rewritten to look like articles, or any of the other common sales & marketing tricks. It is purely information, provided as a public service.
