I use raw eggs, too. I don't eat as many as some NT followers, but in dressings, egg nog, etc. I use both non-organic, free range that are raised locally, and organic from Whole Food (not sure about the cage situation.
I don't think there have been any salmonella cases from organic eggs (correct me if I am wrong, please, anybody); they are raised more carefully and hygienically than commercially raised eggs. One case of salmonella will put a little farm out of business, so they have to be more careful.
From what I read on another forum, as your body heals from a more healthy, natural diet (a la NT), you are much better prepared to combat any salmonella bacteria you encounter. (Actually, there is SOME on just about everything, it is a matter of how much will push you over the edge.)
Take it little by little. The mind can do so much in these cases. If you feel comfortable with pasteurized (kind of defeats the purpose, though) start there and maybe ease into real raw eggs.
