One more quick question concerning raw food and eyesight. Has

Hi Jennifer~

I have only recently been raw but 2 years prior to that was when I started

making dietary changes~first I got rid of the sugars and dairy. Then I got rid

of wheat and switched to a few alternative grains. I also gave up sweet

fruits for awhile. Somewhere in there my eyesight completely improved. I threw

out

my glasses even though my eyes weren't extremely bad. I needed them to drive

and to see for distance. If I go off my diet even for a short period of

time, my eyes get blurry again. Now that I'm raw (and if I stick to it), I

never

have a problem!

Dear Jennifer,

Concerning your eyes, i can tell you after 6 monthqs being raw i could see

much better in the dark. i've never had any eyes problems, but as everyone,

as soon as it was dark i wouldn't be able to se any kind of shadow. i guess

this is because (mainly) of carottes?

I am curious about sprouting. I have the how to in two books that I

own (both by Gabriel Cousens) but my questions is how do you get in

the habit of doing it?

 

Also, do you have to have a dehydrator or can you make enough

variety of raw foods without one? (it will be a little while before

I can afford one; just got the Kempo juicer that I adore!)

 

One more quick question concerning raw food and eyesight. Has

anyone had their eyesight approve considerably with a raw food diet

(80%-100%)? I have decided to stop wearing my glasses (my eyes are

not that bad) and encourage eye health through herbs, exercises and

raw foods.

I have only been raw for almost 3 weeks (70-80%)

And I have noticed when I go for my daily walks outdoors, that

colours seem more vivid to me. Anyone else experiencing this?

It's been fun when I am driving to realize all the greens and the

blue of the sky, all colours are so vibrant! I promise I am not

doing any drugs!

I am juicing at least twice a day and I use just a little carrot and

beet each time with the rest of my veggies: celery,tomato, cucumber,

dark leafy greens like spinach and kale.

 

As for dehydrators, I don't have an excalibur (but would like to get

one in the future)

I have an inexpensive one (Ronco/American Harvest brand) that I

bought at a discount store for about 30 american dollars around 7

years ago...it works fine! I have been making flax and wheat sprout

crackers in it.

Sprouting? Just start and you will get a feel as to how often to

replenish your supply.

I soak wheat (1 cup) for rejuvelac about every other or third day.

The wheat sprouts well after I've used it twice with no trouble, but

as cousens suggests, it's always a good thing to wash the wheat well

and spritz it with a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide after you've

soaked it for rejuvelac and when you are getting ready to sprout it

for grass/ bread/ crackers.

Thanks for the responses. It will be hard to stick to a raw diet with my hubby

(a meat eater) eating cooked foods but I am certainly going to give it my all

and try to get my daughter on it as well.

 

Thanks, Jennifer

Jennifer, Hang in there. My hubby is a die-hard, flesh-eating carnivore. I asked

him if he would go " vegetarian " for just one day during the Great American

Meat-Out and he said " No Way! I Love my meat! " I still have to cook him his

" meat and potatoes " every nite, which makes me want to hurl, but I do it anyway,

to keep peace, you know. I have been 100% raw for 27 days now (in a row). I feel

great and I try not to preach to him, which he really hates. Angie (my dd) on

the other hand is very bold and will tell him how horrible the furry little

animals are for him that he is devouring. Occasionally, he will venture into the

kitchen while Angie and I are doing our thing and grab a piece of fruit or

something and say " Look honey, I'm eating a live food! " Anyway, I always thought

that I would have to cook two separate meals, but I really don't. I cook him a

murdered animal and some sort of horrible side-dish and I just have fruit or

juice. It was somewhat hard at first because I really am a good " cook " and I

missed eating what I cooked, but now I just look at it and think " Ugh, poison. "

You can do it Jennifer!

Peace, ~*~Mary Ellen~*~

You bet! I live near the Gulf of Mex. along the Florida panhandle.

Yesterday, after work, I stood on the city marina pier

watching the setting light upon the moving waves. The

light turned the waves a pastel blue-green and for a moment

I could feel the blue-green light all around me, bathing everything.

It was truly stunning, and I have noticed this increased sense of color

identification and perception since I have gone raw; but I also

paint so my inclination to notice color is already there.
