Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 My name is Shain. I started going raw about 1 month ago. I am doing about 90% raw and vegan. I have had a really hard time digesting food most of my life and have a history of high blood pressure. I did not want to get back on meds so I decided to change my diet. I've been vegan for 4 yrs, vegetarian for 10. After only one month I've lost 8 lbs and my blood pressure has dropped 30 points. I feel great. I tried doing a 24 hr juice fast but only made it to dinner. I will be trying again on thursday. I don't know anyone else in Seattle that does raw food so here I am. Thanks..Shain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 there is no one. the 'benefits' you experienced where just doctor error. go back and get retested. and again. it cant be right. cos if it were then all these big pharma would be setting up organic fruit and veg stalls and painting their 2007 model racing porshces with pineapple patterns. eating raw will make you feel isolated. no body likes a person whom doesnt partake in a good home cooked meal. even if you lethargic after eating cooked food. this is not cos of the missing enzymes, water or the fact it wasnt food to start with. the lethargy is cos you are coffee defecient. a nestle study recently confirmed this. professor hans willtakeabribe discovered the missing b vitamin that only coffee drinkers recieve. so make sure you drink your coffee and hey, remember a stranger at starbucks is just a friend you havent met yet! eating fruit in the sun with health nuts doesnt sound like fun to me. my weight problem and health issues are genetic. you cant change how you look or feel with raw plant food diet. im too busy to peel fruit and eat it. what if i get attacked by fruit flies or bitten by a rabid fruit bat cos im holding a mangoe? thank god people are wanting to iradiate and treat all the foods i eat. imagine after a good steak meal if i found worm casings in my canned fruit salad? so get back to slaving behind that oven . its what made this advanced world what it is today. if jesus were here, he would be with me after church on sunday at kfc not in nature eating fruits and vegetables. > > Shain, > > Welcome to raw foods, and to the group! > > Try stopping by some of our potlucks (rawseattle.org).
