Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hello everyone, - just wanted to share how Nick and I are doing with our raw food diet - we call it our new way of eating and we intend to stick with it - I have been reading a lot of material on the Internet and this helps too. We both become more committed to it as we go on from day to day, eating 90% raw me & 95% Nick. I feel so good - so peaceful and relaxed - some pain in my arm from a long term tennis elbow and tendon problem ( I would love that to go but I am not holding my breath but anything is possible here) but apart from that my body is free from pain - my mind is clear and no mood changes today - so grateful for this. Nick says he feels the same - he played football on Friday and then went for a run yesterday and says he has no muscle pain or tightness - amazing! Before raw I was not only taking medication for bladder and asthma (my breathing is ok - no worse and certainly no wheezing) but also I was taking glucosamine (I know it isn't vegetarian but I had to make a choice as I was in so much pain in all my joints and I was getting very depressed with it all.) - I was also taking Evening Primrose Oil for hormonal depression due to the menopause and I really wouldn't be without it for a day with out feeling very down. I have had none of these products since I started raw a few weeks ago and the difference in myself is amazing. I would also take Ibruprofen every night so I could get some rest - I am sleeping right through without all the bathroom trips and without the joint pain too. Sinus blockages all the time too - they have gone - I can't believe what is happening. No medication or drugs inside me - I love the feeling that even the thought of that gives me. So glad - are there any other newcomers that are experiencing these freedoms? Love Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it feels especially good to know that I am taking charge of my own well being and not trusting it to drugs, doctors etc... I too was taking lots of over the counter meds for sinus, headache etc...(benedryl, Ibuprofin, claratin) plus prescriptions for thyroid, high-cholesterol and depression. Have been medication free for 2 months now and feeling good. My raw percentage is better on some days than others and I find the weekends with my non-raw eating husband more difficult than weekdays. But I continue pressing on towards the goal of 100% raw. Soon I will go back to the Dr. and see if my blood work shows the improvement that I'm sure must be taking place with regard to thyroid and cholesterol levels. Keep up the " good work " ! Love and Light~Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
