Raw Food: When Should we Eat it?

When we have a regular meal consisting  of a soup or broth course, meat, boiled potatoes with vegetables, or even a breakfast that includes a cup of coffee or cocoa with milk, bread and butter or marmalade; the amount of leukocytes (white blood cells) increases, from the normal value of 6,000-8,000 per millileter to 10,000 in ten minutes, and to 30,000 in 30 minutes. Normal values are recovered after 90 minutes.
This phenomenon is known as degestive leukocytosis (an increase in the number of white blood cells), and, as Roessle remarked, it is similar to the defensive reaction of the body when fighting off an infection.
Nevertheless, Kuschaoff [Paul Kouchakoff, Nouvelles lois de l'alimentation humaine basées sur la leucocytose digestive] has shown that the ingestion of raw vegetables does not provoke leukocytosis, even if we eat cooked foods afterwards.
Likewise, Kuschaoff demonstrated that a minimum of 10% of the food should be eaten raw and eaten before the cooked food, if we want to avoid this inflammatory reaction.
