I challenged my 16-year old sister in law to a week of raw foods last week, and she did it (I'm so proud of her!). As most of you know, we live in Alaska. Her family lives on an island away from the main island which we live on. They're homesteaders. So this winter they went out to a secluded bay to be keepers at an old abandoned cannery. All their food and mail came to them once a month by float plane, and the food came from CostCo. You can imagine how it poisoned their poor bodies. Annie, my sister in law, came home with terrible acne that looked more like staff infection, she was having tremendous stomach pain, and was bloated. The rest of the family looked pretty rough too. Well they came home and switched back to organic, but when Annie did the one-week raw challenge we were amazed to find that in 6 days she lost 10 lbs, her mood was incredibly high and happy, and her face has seriously begun to heal. In fact, it's just red and has a few scabs, but there are no white heads or any new pimples. Yay!!
Just thought I'd share. Today she is beginning a two-week challenge with me.
