QuestionI have a family member who cannot swallow due to a disease but is willing to go raw paleo and try and reverse her disease. Will blending up the food in a vitamix produce a different outcome than eating it as is? I am going to use coconut water as a base to all the blends. I am going to start with blending up raw liver and marrow with the coconut water. What do you think? I might add some raw honey to taste
AnswerI honestly can't say without knowing what the disease is - apparently, people can have problems re swallowing either solid food, liquid or even saliva, depending on the condition. To be honest, you're better off asking a doctor(but without mentioning the Raw-Animal-Food diet directly). Certainly, if the main difficulty is that the person can't chew, then a thorough use of the vitamix(or Juicer for fruit) would be the best option. For juicers, most people recommend a GreenStar Juicer as it's the most efficient at juicing and actualy reduces your costs over time as you need to buy less fruit/veg in order to fill each glass(I don't recommend juicing raw veg as some people have complained re antinutrients within it).
As regards your particular suggestion, it seems the least harmful as liver and marrow are already quite soft.
