I totally agree about cringing at the mention of raw egg! I did the same to be honest. But I guess the bacteria in raw egg is comparable to bacteria in any other food. It's dangerous if it's introduced into an immuno-compromised person who is used to those specific bacteria. My dad had been adding raw eggs to protein shakes so his system is used to those bacteria. I just looked this stuff up and found that if you want to add raw eggs to your diet, you should do it very gradually. (For example, a teaspoon on days 1-3, a tablespoon days 4-6, etc.) But, even if his system is used to it, he would NOT eat the raw eggs (or anything raw) if his white blood cell count or/and neutrophil count were low.
