Guest guest Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Donna [donnachagnon] Thursday, July 21, 2005 9:42 AM [Rawschool] annual physical - surprised doctor! I had my annual physical on Tuesday and what a surprise it was for my physician. She first went down the list of medications she had prescribed to ask if I needed refills. For each one (about 5) I said, " no - I'm not taking them any more. " (Yea me!!!!) She asked how I was feeling I told her I felt fantastic -the best I can remember! Then she put the stethescope to my back to listen to my breathing. She hesitated - moved the scope several times and then went back to those same areas - stopped - came around to the front of me and said, " what have you been doing? " I gave her that quizzical look and she said, " your breathing has changed dramatically! " So I told her I had cut out cooked foods (approximately 85%) and gave her a brief description of what I was eating. She asked the typical questions, i.e., where do you get your protein, your calcium, etc. and I gave her those answers. When I left she said great job! Keep it up! Oh - and I've lost 8 lbs since my visit last month. She didn't argue with me about the raw food eating. As a matter of fact she seemed keenly interested in eating raw food. We're waiting until next month to do my lab work because I do my HgA1c every 3 months but I told her I would like to compare the lab results with last year's results. Donna ________ Hi Donna, this is so wonderful, I imagine you must be ecstatic. Now, here's a question for you...would you consider letting go of the annual physical entirely? You don't need it, you know!! Best, Elchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
