You can cook everything you eat if you want, and it'd probably reduce the number of microbes you get exposed to.
However, you're going to be foregoing stuff like fresh vegetables. Those are a factor via which disease can and has traveled. But it's something that I don't particularly want to give up.
Raw milk is a listeria vector, and some cheeses made from it -- especially those imported from Europe -- make use of raw milk. That's probably avoidable.
You do realise that EU have much higher food production standards than the US?
French people would rather die than give up on raw milk cheese, such death would probably be celebrated.
Yeah. Hmm.
Well, you can't heat treat it without making it not raw, but I guess it might be possible to kill listeria via irradiation, the way meats can be treated.
I don't know if there are any restrictions on how large a cheese can be before that's impractical. Probably costs more than pasteurization.

Sounds like it does work on listeria.
