symptoms worsened on rawfood???

June 5, 2002

Hi everyone

I am new to this list- happy to have found it.

I read about the benefits of rawfood a few months ago

and started on it - it was more like 70% raw and 30 %

cooked. I was juicing atleast once a day for the past

8 months. I was doing ok on juicing. I have severe

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms and now one lyme

specialist says it is chronic lyme.

Once I started on raw food, I was feeling a bit better

for the first month and then after that I had a majr

setback. For the past 3 months I have bcome worse and

mostly bedbound.

I am not sure if it was the detoxing effect. But I

used to feel hungry most of the time when I was on

raw. I ate salads, alfalfa sprouts on bread, juiced

leafy greens twice a day. then had avacado. bananas,

dates. I think I was not getting enough calories. CFS

patients need more protein and I didn't have the

energy to sprout a lot of things.

Now I am juicing wheatgrass once daily with other

greens, ginger, garlic. still taking alafalfa sprouts,

salad. started on eggs for protein. I want to get a

bit better to start on the raw regimen again.

I am so exhausted. I thought this was a sure cure for

all my maladies and was disappointed that my health

deteriorated and I have to depend on my docs again who

were not so helpfull.

It is encouraging to see others progress with this

regimen. Hopefully I will also be able to start out

slowly.

Thanks for listening.
