Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hey everybody, Can anybody recommend a good doctor or health consultant for me? I'm 98% vegan, 50% or so raw. A good understanding of vegan and raw health and nutrition would be very helpful. I recently went out and cheated on my vegan diet with a cup of mocha and a serving of tiramisu. Within an hour of eating I started getting the shakes and felt horrible, almost passing out. I've had some bad reactions from cheese before, and I figure there may have been quite a bit of dairy in the tiramisu. I also may have a heart problem and possibly the caffeine was too much for my body. I just don't know. I live in the Greenwood/Ravenna area of Seattle and am looking for someone close by preferable as I am carfree. Thanks! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 If you want the best results, find someone that uses kinesiology to determine what you need. I recommend Dr. Michael Fuhrman, a Chiropractor and Certified Applied Kinesiologist. He is in Ballard: 7741 1/2 24th Ave NW 206-788-0550 Ron RawSeattle , Daniel Johnson <talkgood wrote: > > Hey everybody, > > Can anybody recommend a good doctor or health consultant for me? > I live in the Greenwood/Ravenna area of Seattle and am looking for > someone close by preferable as I am carfree. > > Thanks!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I see Dr. Bruce Milliman, at Seattle Healing Arts (near 64th and Roosevelt.) He's a naturopathic physician. While not a vegan or raw foodist, he seems fascinated with my raw diet. He is certainly open-minded and seems interested in how a raw/vegan diet affects health. Nora (rawschool.com) is very knowledgeable in natural/raw food health. Re: heart issues, caffeine and alcohol can certainly have an effect on that. I suspect that the increased acidity in some foods (caffeine, alcohol, etc.) may increase symptoms, such as heart palpitations from mitral valve prolapse, etc., especially when eaten together with dairy, lady fingers, and whatever else they put in there. As you are eating a fairly clean diet that would be more of a shock to the body.
