This book, “Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices; What’s Missing in Your Body?” by N.W. Walker, D.Sc. is one of the first I’d ever gotten back around 1979 or so. Although the original copyright says 1970, I purchased it right after it’s revision in 1978. Dr. Walker’s book is as good now, as it was then.

In this book, one of the first things he talks about that many of us are missing is enzymes. He states: “The basic key to the efficacy of nourishing your body is the life which is present in your food and of those intangible elements, know as enzymes.”

Looking at this book again and reading what’s been written since, I’m pretty sure many of the raw food advocates today are familiar with Dr. Walker and the work he did.

He answers the question: “Why not eat the whole vegetable and fruit instead of extracting the juice and discarding the fibers?” His response is: “…. solid food requires many hours of digestive activity before its nourishment is finally available to the cells and tissues of the body. While the fibers in solid food have virtually no nourishing value, they do act as an intestinal broom during the peristaltic activity of the intestines, hence the need to eat raw foods in addition to drinking juices. However, the removal of the fibers in the extraction of the juices, enables juices to be very quickly digested and assimilated, sometimes in a matter of minutes, with a minimum of effort and exertion on the part of the digestive system.”
