Introduction

[Guest guest]

My name is Beatrice, I prefer Bea. I am 25 years old with arthritis in my

knees since I was a little girl. I didn't want to be a pill popper so I've

always just dealt with it. It was, in my opinion, under control. My knees

would hurt if I was in cold moist weather and after jogging (I love to run).

Recently (within the last year) it's seemed to have gotten worse. Now it's

in my shoulders and elbow and started to occur more frequently.

 

I sit at a computer everyday, all day. By noon I would get a throbbing

headache and my joints started to hurt. Ironically I blew it off, because

I figured if I went to a doctor they would give me pain killers and send me

home.

 

Then I started to look into the nutrition for my dogs (two Danes and a

Japanese Chin). One of my Danes has arthritis in his paw joints. I didn't

want to give him pill so I looked into altering his diet. I put all of my

dogs on a Raw Food diet, the results were amazing. They looked healthier

all around. They gained weight (which was much needed), their coats look

shinny and the one with arthritis stop licking and chewing on his paws.

After noticing the changes (within only 2-weeks) I thought why is my dogs

diet better then my own.

 

I've started juicing, which I absolutely love (I'm up to about three juices

a day), and trying to eat more raw foods (fruit, veggies, seeds and nuts).

I've cut down on the fats, dairy products and completely cut out caffeine

(don't usually eat red meat either). Since I've done the diet overhaul, my

complexion is better (I was prone to frequent blemish breakouts), my joints

haven't bugged me for a while now, even after a 30-minute jog, I don't get

my noon headaches anymore and I have a lot more energy.

 

So I guess I would like to learn more about natural medicine. Sorry for the

long story, but felt it was necessary.
