Your friend is correct in that the food isn't doing the healing, but your body is. Give your body the appropriate environment and it will heal itself. A cut heals, a bone mends, so why can't blood pressure, high cholesterol and weight heal, especially if you weren't born with those problems?
The fact is that from the absence of cooked food your body has so much energy, it is freed up for internal healing.
Placebos can work sometimes, but raw food is a totally different thing here. You can get excited about something and it will wear off, so how do you explain the superior health of those on raw for several years?
You shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Once you get going and have some cool before and after pictures, you'll have people knocking you over for advice on how to get healthy.
Try not to let other's ignorance and uneducated opinions sway you from really giving this lifestyle a chance. Sometimes you have to block out the murmuring of "concerned" voices, and do what you feel is right for you.
Rawk on.
