an adventure

[annie p]

I am 61 y o and 5 days into raw food. Sick of spending money on prescription medicine for ulcers and asthma and have stopped taking it.:rolleyes: Am a little uncertain but hoping raw food is the answer. Interested to hear of other oldies who have overcome these type of illnesses.

Now 8 days and all arthritis pain disappeared-this has never happened before. Still enjoying raw and my favourite is salad with heaps of tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, avacado and half a lemon juiced over it. Mmmmmm/ Eat huge amounts of fruit too.
Have heard that hair can fall out on all raw, has anyone else heard this?

Welcome Aboard, Annie

Dear Annie,

I am so happy to see you here on the boards. I know that living on live foods will be of tremendous help for you. On the 1st of the month we usually begin a 30 day raw challenge. It is a great way to start and to find support here among other people who are trying to heal and return to their optimal health!

There is also a documentary in the making by a raw foodist, and medical doctor,
Dr. Gabriel Cousens (and his Tree of Life Rejuvation Center) that focuses on the healing of people at the Center who entered with Diabetes, High Blood Pressure , etc.,.

it is called Raw for 30 days and more info can be found at :
www.rawfor30days.com

I don't believe the documentary has been completed but I believe there is a long preview trailer available to watch that is inspiring. It shows people literally being taken off of their prescription drugs by a medical doctor as their diabetes, and other ailments are healed, all within 30 days of raw. Dr. Cousens used a particular healing raw diet, so I can't say that everyone could heal themselves in that amount of time, but I believe that by going 100% raw, you (and your doctors) will be amazed at the speed of your healing, compared to staying on a Standard American Diet aka SAD.

Many blessings on your journey toward your greatest health!

I'm turning 35 soon- does that qualify?! Regardless, welcome! I just got my 49-year-old good friend and landlady into Raw and it's blowing her socks off. She's probably spreadeagle in bed detoxing. And on that cheerful note, I guarantee as bad as detoxing is the Raw-someness to follow will be so tremendously worth it. Stick close to this board. People will nurture you through it. You got Alissa's book yet? I'd also recommend Victoria Boutenko's Green for Life and Raw Family.

Thanks for your interest. Have been studying with Frederic Patenaude and have his books via email link as I live in Australie.
Have done 7 1\2 days now and am loving it. Really love the support too and have only today found it and am working out how to do it. (not really of the computer generation!)

Each day has proven to be a bit of an adventure but there is no one in my family or amongst my friends that think I am sane and rational. All I am hearing is you are going to be ill!!!I have also become anti social or at least when we are invited out, I take my own raw food. I love it and am having results already. Hope I can cure my ulcerative condition too.
