Hi John, I’m really glad that you are posting these videos. I understand when people get excited about their results and want to push it to other people. I myself got sucked down into the juicing- fruit only- avoid fats trap and while it seemed to help at first, it ended up leading to even more issues months later. My health deteriorated quickly, I developed at on of gut issues- no longer able to digest basic meals, and my nails and hair were very thin. Depending on herbal supplements and enemas to go to the bathroom. Luckily I was able to get better once I reintroduced sweet potatoes and steamed veggies. Today I eat less fruit- more starches, lots of veggies and still pretty high raw. This works for me at the moment . But the damaged that the dogmatic way of thinking that all cooked food is toxic is very damaging to the mind. I believe a lot of these people following these diets and pushing for them are very scared and sick themselves. And yes some of them have found a career out of selling their programs so now they must stick to their claims- who knows what they do behind closed doors. Just my thoughts. I wish everyone happiness and health. ❤
I know what many of them do behind closed doors. Eat fish. Smoke a lot of pot. Use women. Get lots of facelifts etc but promote how raw food keeps you young 😂Oh the list goes on. Once you see behind the curtain of some of the “influencers,” you just can’t unsee stuff.
Hey John - I published a raw vegan book in 2021 and had a pretty good sized following on IG. Also invested in the amazing training from your friends in Santa Rosa. I eventually stopped posting because the movement became so saturated with fruitarian types who were so insufferably dogmatic and full of eating disorder mentality, I no longer wanted to be part of it. I saw the whole environment as UNHEALTHY and participating felt counterproductive to my own health goals. I can't imagine building a whole career on raw food. I still eat about 90% raw just like I have for over ten years now. But I find so many claims by the few influencers left to be bogus. One in particular (whom I believe you very carefully alluded to) enables this type of disordered thinking on his ridiculous private FB page, which I am a member of. It's a shame. Raw food is powerful medicine, but the message is clouded by a lot of crazy rhetoric.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s disheartening to see how the raw vegan movement has become saturated with dogmatic and extreme rhetoric that can overshadow the incredible health benefits raw food can provide. It’s especially frustrating when this type of environment pushes away thoughtful voices like yours. That said, I truly believe that your perspective is exactly what the movement needs. Your balanced approach, years of experience, and understanding of how to sustain a healthy raw diet are invaluable. The misinformation and disordered thinking you’ve described thrive in part because there are so few who stand up to challenge it. If more people like you share their knowledge, it could inspire others to follow a realistic, evidence-based path rather than falling into the traps of extremism or giving up altogether. You’ve already made a significant impact with your book and your journey, and I’d encourage you to continue sharing your story, even if in small ways. You don’t have to be part of the noise to make a difference-your voice can bring clarity to those who are genuinely seeking guidance. Raw food truly is powerful medicine, as you said, and the message deserves to be represented by those who prioritize health, sustainability, and compassion over dogma. I hope you’ll consider rejoining the conversation in whatever way feels right for you. Together, we can ensure that a balanced and healthy approach to raw veganism isn’t drowned out by the extremes. Keep inspiring and being an example of what’s possible. You’ve already made such a difference!
I've dipped in and out of your content for years. You just get better and better John; you're really stepping up to the mantle as one of the OG elders whose heart is big and whose wisdom is quite clearly growing also. Thanks for everything you do. You are making a difference!
So glad you put out this video. You’re absolutely right, everyone is different when it comes to what we should put in our bodies. I’ve been a raw foodist before,it was great the first few months and then I started getting too skinny. I’m not a big eater and to be a raw foodist you need to eat big amounts of fruits and vegetables plus take expensive supplements. What I’ve noticed throughout the years is what was mentioned in this video, you need to tweak once in a while and change what you eat in order to have the right vitamins in your body.
Wow, what a passionate and informative video! As a vegan activist, this individual is clearly dedicated to spreading awareness about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. Here are some key takeaways from their rant: 1. **Dont get oversold**: The speaker emphasizes the importance of not being misled by exaggerated claims about the raw vegan diets ability to heal all ailments or cure diseases. They urge viewers to be skeptical and do their own research. 2. **Modifying your approach is okay**: Rather than insisting that the raw vegan diet must be followed rigidly, this individual encourages viewers to adapt and evolve their lifestyle as needed. This could include incorporating some heat-processed foods or animal products in small amounts. 3. **The importance of regular testing**: The speaker stresses the value of getting regular blood tests, microbiome tests, and other health checks to monitor ones health and make adjustments accordingly. 4. **The need for a balanced diet**: While they acknowledge the benefits of a plant-based diet, this individual also recognizes that some people may require additional nutrients or energy from heat-processed foods or animal products. 5. **Critique of the raw vegan movement**: The speaker takes aim at other raw vegan channels and advocates who make false claims or oversell the benefits of their diet. They encourage viewers to critically evaluate information and seek out evidence-based advice. Overall, this video is a great example of a passionate advocate sharing their expertise and experience with others. Its a refreshing change from some of the more extreme or dogmatic views within the vegan community!
Well done! There is one influencer (whom we all know) who has just posted on his Fb page to have followed a fruit based diet for 8 years. I know this to be false as I knew him! There are so many lies being spun, exaggerations and it WILL all come crashing down along with those who blindly follow. I never knew much about your until last year and you have helped me be at peace being high raw vegan and not fully. It is a beautiful path, I feel happier than ever and MORE liberated. I have turned back the clock to 35 years ago when I went vegan initially and ate healthily, with love and passion for what I was doing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Yep, sadly many lie about what they eat because they want to portray a certain image. Sometimes it's not consciously though I think. I was high raw for 10 years, and then I for various reasons started to eat more cooked food again, but in my mind I was still thinking of myself as eating a high raw diet until I did a reality check and realised that the only raw things I ate were pretty much smoothies. So sometimes I think that you are so used to saying that you eat a certain way even if you have swayed away from it quite far. Now I'm back on a high raw diet again and it feels so good. I've not been in a good place food-wise for the past two years so my body is so grateful. This is what I want to eat. It took swaying away from it far too much to realise it.
It's interesting that with all the different species of animals on the planet, only humans have a hard time figuring out what they're ideal food source should be. It's amazing we've made it as far as we have.
I keep saying this, every animal knows what it's supposed to eat except humans. You'll see them debating what's the best diet. It's hilarious and sad at the same time. How did we find ourselves here?
@ Profit/Greed - Some find it easy to grow grains and want to profit from that. We started growing grains/plants because it's easier, we can be in one place and not need to spend more time hunting. This led to us having more free time to innovate civilization and develop the arts and learn more. Now that we know better it's time to be healthy again and eat meat only. I found plants to be worse for health than the standard diet.
Raw vegans claim all their health issues disappeared once going fully raw. Carnivores claim the same thing. My assessment is that changing the diet in a dramatic way causes a temporary resolution of health issues. I say temporary because their health problems will reappear some months later or they’ll have new ones. What I’ve learned in my 50 years is that what works for me now might not work 5 years from now, so I need to be flexible.
Most elimination diets will heal you since you eliminate what's killing you. I don't agree that the issues usually reappear after a while. At least that's not my experience. There will however be other issues if you continue eating a diet made for immediate healing long term. I see this all the time. People go on a detox/cleansing diet and eventually feel great, want to continue feeling great so they continue with the same diet. But it rarely works long term. Calorie deficiency is especially common with those who eat raw. Learning to eat raw that's sustainable long term is a different game. The easiest solution to this is usually to eat high raw instead. You get most of the benefits of raw but it's less challenging to source the produce.
I know he's a little out there in some ways but this is something that I've always loved about John Rose - he believes that the raw vegan diet is the ideal diet in an ideal world, but we no longer live in an ideal world. It wont work for everyone and you need to be open to what works for you for your own unique body and situation.
John, I appreciate your thoughts here. Plant based literally threw my health in the toilet to where I thought I was dying. I thrive as an omnivore as humans evolved to be.
Everybody should be just doing what works for them period. Eating tons of fresh produce is a must. The worst and most annoying raw vegan is this shane sterling guy who literally tells people cooked vegan food is a poison. The guy is only money oriented says nonsense and when someone calls him on it he gets nasty. Brrr what a crappy example he is and yet he makes money of gullible people. I have always admired you and Markus!
I once called him out on his bs and he got really nasty. At the very beginning of his $ making raw vegan business he said he was okay with his daughters eating crap like McDonald’s and all he even cooked meat for them if they want it which is fair but there he is playing a rock star and posting tons of pictures with raw juices and stuff BUT feeds his precious kids worst junk just cause they ask for it. Messed up. I called him out on it and stopped following him. I’m surprised there are people who do. Brainwashed are everywhere these days. Cheers to John and Marcus!
Reminds me of the people that died from juicing katuk and kale. Also the over consumption of soursop can lead to neurological issues. Fanatacism isn't healthy no matter what it is.
I think people often assume that over consuming fruits and veggies is harmless since they are so healthy. But a lot of them are healthy because they are medicinal, and too much medicine can become a poison. It’s usually just a lack of knowledge.
You are speaking my language John you're amazing I love how you do the research and the work and speak from experience and honesty and sincerity I have such respect for all the research and work you do. Thank you bless you :)
Thank you for spreading the truth! Years ago my brain just stopped functioning one day at work. I had been vegan for 7 months but not doing it properly.
If you look at the e people who are the oldest in the world, they are not even all raw. So yah, the cooked stuff didn’t keep them from turning 100, 110, and up.
I hear this often. "Oh but he smoked and lived to a 100!" I think it's a fallacy. Yes, there are those with good genes who will live long despite not treating their bodies well. But for those of us who were less fortunate in the lottery, more care is needed. Does that mean that we can't eat cooked food? Of course not. But what kind of food it is and how it is cooked is important. Fried factory farmed chicken vs steamed broccoli. There's quite a difference there. ☺ I believe pretty much everyone benefits from a high amount of raw fruits and veggies in their diet though.
Totally agree. I only describe myself as “plant based” and not vegan. People, including those who say they are vegan, have a preconceived conception of what it is, and that conception is not correct.
Why describe yourself as what you eat. I’ve never understood that. I haven’t eaten meat for 27 years, but I’ve never called myself a vegetarian, vegan or raw vegan or whatever. I eat a high raw plant based diet. But I’m not a raw foodist. I am me. And even that is questionable 🙃
I love your perspective on raw and heat processed foods, but I have to say I’m really sorry to hear you condoning eating animals at all. Since humans do not NEED nutrients from animals, hunting and fishing is still unnecessary violence and suggesting people do those things (especially when they can just get everything from plants/non-animal sources instead) perpetuates the idea that animal slaughter and exploitation can be justified as long as it’s done right. The animals deserve better advocacy than that. Having true compassion for animals means discouraging the use of them as resources period.
About time someone is calling this out, I tried to be raw bot only managed a few months and then was plant based for the rest of 2 years and it decimated my health. Since then (2018) I have been carnivore and have finally found prefect health :) Eat Meat, Not Too Little, Mostly Fat
You are the healthiest looking raw foodie I have ever seen… I see young girls on here on higher fruit diets and they look so unhealthy .. thin hair and sallow skin and frail looking . If I ever go raw I’ll be 80 percent raw. Not raw on the weekends . Vegan wfpb though at all times.
Just look to India. 20-39% Indians have been eating plant-based food since time immemorial. Vegetarianism and vegan are their ONLY diet. It’s NOT a fad. People who eat plant-based food as a fad, WILL FAIL!
What about Climate ! Australia, Thailand etc warm weather and easier to eat raw foods, fruits, vegetables, etc vs Colder Climate countries, Siberia is below zero ! UK 🇬🇧 now going through winter and craving hot cooked foods and very little craving for cold foods, animal foods create a thermal effect on body and are more beneficial in cold temperatures, im wearing several layers of clothing. Its possible to eliminate meat still by eating warm meals , soup , stews, broths , cooked vegetables rice , potatoes, I just wish more people talking about cold raw uncooked foods would discuss Climate and cold countries vs warmer countries 🤔
Raw vegan is great if you are eating too much protein or need to clean up your diet. Fruit is great for energy. But it won't help if you aren't getting enough protein or other nutrients you get with beans or some cooked foods and it certainly won't help if you're overdoing certain raw plants like spinach.
Adding things like cooked beans, tofu and tempeh to an otherwise raw diet can be great. I do it myself to easily up the protein intake a bit. Not sure what your problem with spinach is though. I've never had a problem with it. Is it the oxalates you are referring to? That's really a non-issue if you have a healthy body.
@@cannabearr evolution is the process in which organisms developed and diversified from the beginning until today. There is endless information on this topic. I’m pretty sure you know that, unless you were born under a rock. But how ‘bout directly observable small-scale change, biogeographic distribution, comparative anatomy, the fossil record, classification, genetics, ancient organism remains, fossil layers, similarities among organisms alive today, similarities in DNA, and similarities of embryos, to name a few. All studied in nature which you can also learn yourself, hands on if you need tangible evidence. If you’re trying to say that our world and universe is young, at least agree that in order for it to be in its current state, evolution had to take place, whether it was put into order by a creator or not, super slowly over eons or with the snap of God’s figurative fingers, the systems are ordered and are defined by the laws of nature or God’s nature. There are many scientists who believe in a creator. I don’t see what your point is in asking me to prove evolution when it’s literally provable, right in front of your face. To me, it’s proof that a higher being (God) ingeniously and lovingly formed everything. Humans are just trying to make sense of it all. It’s science, baby. Check it out! Don’t be afraid.
If u want gas u shld go out and drill it yourself, if u want a car u shld source the materials and make it from scratch! If u want clothes make them from scratch!
Oh shut it u played into it too. U act like raw is law and can hea anything and everything yet u aren't even fully raw. Maybe stop trying to push the only raw all raw raw law blah blah. How about just try to eat more fruits and veg the end.
I've never seen John make completely unrealistic claims about the raw diet. So what if he's not 100% raw anymore? He's never said that was the only way to my knowledge. Just because you don't eat 100% raw doesn't mean that raw foods is not beneficial. In fact might be the optimal way to eat 70-95% raw depending on your conditions.
You are definitely not vegan if you eat eggs and meat. I would say you are high raw vegan if you eat at least 75% raw and no less but that depends on who you ask.
you can be vegan if you eat meat and eggs you found in a trashcan, or like road kill or something. It's Vegan, just not Plant-Based or Vegetarian. Vegan means that an animal was not intentionally exploited for the use of its body. If it was found dead, or its body or secretions were already taken and left to go to waste, then it's still vegan. just not plant-based OR vegetarian. Interesting that something can be Vegan, but not Vegetarian or Plant-Based at the same time.
Most actual normal longterm raw vegans do thrive, quietly and without public attention. They’re too busy living their healthy joyful lives to bother bickering on the internet, which in itself is so toxic. So sadly, those seeking examples of normal longterm vegans will have a hard time finding them. It’s not that they don’t exist though

I want to get a property to grow my own greens some day . Lawns are such a wasted space. Love u John.
Thank you for spreading the truth! Years ago my brain just stopped functioning one day at work. I had been vegan for 7 months but not doing it properly.
What did you do wrong in your opinion? Seven months is quite a short time.
If you look at the e people who are the oldest in the world, they are not even all raw. So yah, the cooked stuff didn’t keep them from turning 100, 110, and up.
I hear this often. "Oh but he smoked and lived to a 100!"
I think it's a fallacy. Yes, there are those with good genes who will live long despite not treating their bodies well. But for those of us who were less fortunate in the lottery, more care is needed.
Does that mean that we can't eat cooked food? Of course not. But what kind of food it is and how it is cooked is important. Fried factory farmed chicken vs steamed broccoli. There's quite a difference there. ☺
I believe pretty much everyone benefits from a high amount of raw fruits and veggies in their diet though.
Totally agree. I only describe myself as “plant based” and not vegan. People, including those who say they are vegan, have a preconceived conception of what it is, and that conception is not correct.
Why describe yourself as what you eat. I’ve never understood that. I haven’t eaten meat for 27 years, but I’ve never called myself a vegetarian, vegan or raw vegan or whatever.
I eat a high raw plant based diet. But I’m not a raw foodist. I am me. And even that is questionable 🙃
Thank you for your honesty
Nice John! Totally agree! Thank you for this 🙏
Blessings 🌞❤️🔥
I know who he’s debunking and I’m enjoying every second-because this person is a self proclaimed guru.
I love your perspective on raw and heat processed foods, but I have to say I’m really sorry to hear you condoning eating animals at all. Since humans do not NEED nutrients from animals, hunting and fishing is still unnecessary violence and suggesting people do those things (especially when they can just get everything from plants/non-animal sources instead) perpetuates the idea that animal slaughter and exploitation can be justified as long as it’s done right. The animals deserve better advocacy than that. Having true compassion for animals means discouraging the use of them as resources period.
About time someone is calling this out, I tried to be raw bot only managed a few months and then was plant based for the rest of 2 years and it decimated my health.
Since then (2018) I have been carnivore and have finally found prefect health :)
Eat Meat, Not Too Little, Mostly Fat
You are the healthiest looking raw foodie I have ever seen… I see young girls on here on higher fruit diets and they look so unhealthy .. thin hair and sallow skin and frail looking . If I ever go raw I’ll be 80 percent raw. Not raw on the weekends . Vegan wfpb though at all times.
Just look to India. 20-39% Indians have been eating plant-based food since time immemorial. Vegetarianism and vegan are their ONLY diet. It’s NOT a fad. People who eat plant-based food as a fad, WILL FAIL!
What about Climate ! Australia, Thailand etc warm weather and easier to eat raw foods, fruits, vegetables, etc vs Colder Climate countries, Siberia is below zero ! UK 🇬🇧 now going through winter and craving hot cooked foods and very little craving for cold foods, animal foods create a thermal effect on body and are more beneficial in cold temperatures, im wearing several layers of clothing. Its possible to eliminate meat still by eating warm meals , soup , stews, broths , cooked vegetables rice , potatoes, I just wish more people talking about cold raw uncooked foods would discuss Climate and cold countries vs warmer countries 🤔
Raw vegan is great if you are eating too much protein or need to clean up your diet. Fruit is great for energy. But it won't help if you aren't getting enough protein or other nutrients you get with beans or some cooked foods and it certainly won't help if you're overdoing certain raw plants like spinach.
Adding things like cooked beans, tofu and tempeh to an otherwise raw diet can be great. I do it myself to easily up the protein intake a bit.
Not sure what your problem with spinach is though. I've never had a problem with it. Is it the oxalates you are referring to? That's really a non-issue if you have a healthy body.
I believe the same thing I eat 80% raw m/ 20% steam.
Raw vegans won't ever unlabel their entire life is built on that label
I agree, it's not all right to turn anything into religion!
Monkeys need matches! Everyone knows all animals need to cook some of their food or they will develop deficiencies and other issues.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but humans aren’t monkeys and have LONG AGO evolved from that “lifestyle.”
@ArmindaHeart evolved? Define evolution then prove it
@ are you able to read? If you don’t believe in evolution then why are you comparing humans to primates?
@@cannabearr evolution is the process in which organisms developed and diversified from the beginning until today. There is endless information on this topic. I’m pretty sure you know that, unless you were born under a rock. But how ‘bout directly observable small-scale change, biogeographic distribution, comparative anatomy, the fossil record, classification, genetics, ancient organism remains, fossil layers, similarities among organisms alive today, similarities in DNA, and similarities of embryos, to name a few. All studied in nature which you can also learn yourself, hands on if you need tangible evidence.
If you’re trying to say that our world and universe is young, at least agree that in order for it to be in its current state, evolution had to take place, whether it was put into order by a creator or not, super slowly over eons or with the snap of God’s figurative fingers, the systems are ordered and are defined by the laws of nature or God’s nature. There are many scientists who believe in a creator. I don’t see what your point is in asking me to prove evolution when it’s literally provable, right in front of your face. To me, it’s proof that a higher being (God) ingeniously and lovingly formed everything. Humans are just trying to make sense of it all. It’s science, baby. Check it out! Don’t be afraid.
If u want gas u shld go out and drill it yourself, if u want a car u shld source the materials and make it from scratch! If u want clothes make them from scratch!
You want a pineapple and you live in North Dakata....grow one in your back yard anyhow. 😀 LOL
Oh shut it u played into it too. U act like raw is law and can hea anything and everything yet u aren't even fully raw. Maybe stop trying to push the only raw all raw raw law blah blah. How about just try to eat more fruits and veg the end.
You need a snickers bar

At least he’s seen the error of his ways.
I've never seen John make completely unrealistic claims about the raw diet. So what if he's not 100% raw anymore? He's never said that was the only way to my knowledge. Just because you don't eat 100% raw doesn't mean that raw foods is not beneficial. In fact might be the optimal way to eat 70-95% raw depending on your conditions.
So by your logic I can still be raw vegan if I eat eggs and meat as long as I only keep 75 percent raw?
You are definitely not vegan if you eat eggs and meat. I would say you are high raw vegan if you eat at least 75% raw and no less but that depends on who you ask.
Nice that you didn't understand his video.
you can be vegan if you eat meat and eggs you found in a trashcan, or like road kill or something. It's Vegan, just not Plant-Based or Vegetarian. Vegan means that an animal was not intentionally exploited for the use of its body. If it was found dead, or its body or secretions were already taken and left to go to waste, then it's still vegan. just not plant-based OR vegetarian.
Interesting that something can be Vegan, but not Vegetarian or Plant-Based at the same time.
yes lol he doesn't like labels apparently
He is not vegan he an omnivore.
Lol
U played into thrift 100 percent raw be perfect diet for yrs. Vegans are the issue not ex vegans
not vegans. raw foodists. majority of vegans have nothing to do with this tardation.
Most actual normal longterm raw vegans do thrive, quietly and without public attention. They’re too busy living their healthy joyful lives to bother bickering on the internet, which in itself is so toxic. So sadly, those seeking examples of normal longterm vegans will have a hard time finding them. It’s not that they don’t exist though
First one
