In March 2008, Beth Berry was very sick. Her body was wracked with

pain so severe she spent most days in bed. She suffered from a

herniated disc, but more troubling, Berry's doctor diagnosed her with

fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread joint

and muscle pain.

 

" I was given a 90-count bottle of Vicodin, " Berry says. " I got mad. I

was pissed, and kept saying: 'That's it? Just take narcotics for the

rest of my life? I'm only 38 years old!' "

 

Instead of filling the prescription, Berry pored over the latest

research on the benefits of diet and nutrition on autoimmune disorders

and learned about the successes people suffering from symptoms similar

to hers were having with raw food diets. " That's when the real journey

began, " she says. " Within three days of being on raw food, almost all

of my symptoms had gone away. "
