 The way it works is to relieve all of the toxins and stress your body is subjected to by 'everyday' dietary mistakes, like cooking food (causing dirty protein for example)

Cooking food can have benefits by oxidizing dangerous compounds in raw foods such as goitrogens, certain enzymes such as thiaminase and pathogens.  It can also make certain foods easier to digest and increase certain nutrients.

You're right, that's why we don't eat most of those uncooked foods, because we can't tolerate them without burning them up. What I wish you would come to see is that taking something 'with some good stuff' and torching it to make it palatable is no different than the pharmaceutical companies taking 'good stuff' isolatedly and patching it together to make a 'healthy' pill. You can't cheat nature this easily, and it will have to teach us this time and time again unfortunately. If you just step back and think about it, torching substances to make them edible doesn't make sense when there is completely edible and delicious food (fruit for one example) right there already. No other animal needs to cook to thrive, so why should any health minded individual cook to survive? Unless you are poor and don't value your health, there is no reason to do things the unnatural way, unless you propose that torching things for consumption is natural.

Furthermore, cooking doesn't just do 'good things', it's destructive. It manipulates things, like a 'chemical experiment' each time. The heat from cooking causes new substances to originate from proteins reacting upon carbohydrates. Some of these new substances can cause cancer, brain diseases, and impair neurotransmitter function and metabolism. Raw food, fruits and raw egg yolks or sashimi, contain all the nutrients you need, without heat. So why advocate extremely unnatural and dangerous heat methods of food JUST because people are accustomed to it?

Just to be clear, many of these new substances created from heat are HeteroCyclicAmines, which are indirectly or directly physically addictive.

There's also a lot of harmful additives on most cooked or prepared commercial foods, whose purpose is to make food last longer or taste better. Speaking of tasting better, taste enhancers are largely concentrated protein with lots of physically addictive beta-carbolines. Glutamate indirectly accomplishes the same addictive task. Beta-carbolines are also anesthetic and can cause unnatural constipation in adults.      

and wheat (which impairs digestion, and digestion plays a role in more than you can imagine).

Wheat is only an issue in cases of gluten intolerance or true Celiac disease.  Otherwise there is not an issue and it can even have benefits such as providing fiber, protein and phytates that bind free iron and heavy metals.

Wheat is an issue to anyone who is susceptible enough to opiod peptides or consumes enough wheat products to become constipated. This is because by nature wheat contains extremely powerful opiod peptides, enclosed in special proteins (there's the gluten) and set free by digestive enzymes. Even worse, most wheat products (bread, pasta, cookies, pastries, etc) are also prepared/cooked proteinacous foods. Due to heat, proteins are chemically changed, and thus some damaged opiod peptides are extremely hard to decompose by enzymes. To add to the equation, some originated beta-carbolines and other damaged proteins inhibit those enzymes further. Again, the only reason everyone who consumes wheat products isn't constipated is because we aren't all equally affected by these opiod peptides, that doesn't mean they're a good suggestion for the population at large. As a runner you should already know why we're affected by these substances. As with almost all unhealthy things, the few benefits it offers is negligent because you can get the benefits from truly healthy food like raw fruit, raw eggs/sashimi without the negative, or even potentially negative, side effects, unnatural heat, dangerous compounds created therewith, etc. Free iron and heavy metals won't be a problem if you consume this diet, there is absolutely no logic in using partially destroyed and toxic foods to help fix the bodies imbalances unless it is strongly needed as in some illnesses or specific problems, as a dietary guideline this is unnatural and ridiculous.
