Appreciating Guy Claude Burger the Author of Instincto Therapy

Posted On June 22, 2010

Hey hey hey, the man himself Guy Glaude Burger posts in www.rawpaleoforum.com , yes, the Burger who wrote about Instincto Therapy. He’s French. He cured himself of cancer using raw food instincts.

Like any guru, he has his detractors. I posted a piece that hopefully strikes a balance and keeps appreciating the gurus. Hey, I myself am a guru of eczema and psoriasis cures. But some of my readers think I’m crazy promoting raw meat and raw fat. But from my point of view, it works for me, and for my 3 children. Best of all, it works for me.

So don’t bash your guru, be thankful you met them and led you to a better life.

Among those people who got in the most trouble from following instincto path were precisely those who had access to a tremendous amount and variety of fruit, contrary to Burger’s views.

The reasons for these health damages are simple: instincto stance leads most people to systematically overeat sweet and oily fruits and consequently for many of them not eat enough food of animal origin, in particular, fat, eggs, liver or other organ, fish or shellfish etc rich in vitamins A, K, D etc. I know of many of them who just never or only rarely ate such foods just because they were not “instinctively” attracted to. 🙂 In contrast the same people ingested tremendous amounts of avocados ( 5 to 10 per meal or 20 bananas etc.) “No problem” they were told by instincto non sense “your organism needs so much” ;D

I must be lucky my “instincts” and “logic” work together somehow. I’m no instincto but I do listen to my instincts and try to rationalize what my body is telling me. Our being detached from pure autonomic instinct is what makes us human.

I did my raw vegan time and found this a horrible way to live. Vegan fare does not make me happy.

I did my fruitarian time, lasted only 2 months, with probably the 2nd best fruits in the world… (maybe Thailand is best because they have a lot of durian)… it was a yummy time, but malnourishing.

But for some reason, I was never able to eat in the quantities you describe: 5 to 10 avocados? 20 bananas? Outrageous. I could never stuff myself that much. Maybe this is why I easily became malnourished.

Maybe its because I’m small? 165 cm, Filipino. Small gut capacity?

My instinct told me after 2 months of fruitarian, this was not working… I was too cold and too thin…. Then I stumbled onto Wai Diet, then boom… intake of raw fish and raw eggs made me alive.

Seafood and eggs were getting to be boring… I found Aajonus of Primal Diet and was encouraged to try raw land animals and raw milk. Raw milk tasted great but I could never digest it… lactose intolerant. I tasted the different land animals and like beef and horse best.

All you guys here in raw paleo forum were wonderful in guiding me to discover and migrate to a high fat low carb diet.

All my diet migrations so far are logic and rational first, then guided instincts follow.

There was a time I experimented with cooked meat, and at times I would have a bit of cooked meat, but somehow my instinct tells me I feel a lot better on raw meat than cooked meat.

What I’m saying is, I listen to my instincts, but it is my rational mind that makes the final decisions and after feedback, adjustments are made.

You need to lighten up a bit, Gerard. There is no “one” guru that will fit all your needs.

My old teacher Barefoot Herbalist MH pushed fruitarianism but I found out after 2 months that fruitarianism was not for me. But I still appreciate his teachings and keep them as reference.

I read Aajonus Vonderplanitz, he’s a good healer, and for the people who can digest dairy, it works. But I still appreciate his teachings.

My friend Vander Gaditano and who I consider my master teacher in crisis healing is not a raw foodist. He pulls people out of stage 4 cancers routinely. He uses whatever is needed for the patient. Temporary raw vegan, temporary raw meat carnivore, a combination, raw livers, etc. I understand that crisis medicine is different. But I appreciate his teachings still.

I appreciate Instincto teachings and I am just so thankful the man himself, the original, Burger is here with us!
