I just finished reading Alissa's book and watching her fantastic DVD. WOW! Am I excited!

I am in process of setting myself up with the right foods, appliances, etc.

I am nervous about giving up my morning coffee...okay, also the sweets I am use to. I just found coconut ice cream. :(

I spent four weeks at the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida about 10 years ago and followed the raw foods diet, and the dehydrating, sprouting and wheatgrass growing for quite awhile, then stopped. I don't remember why I stopped, but am just now at the point where I feel I am ready to go for it again.

Alissa's info and this web site look awesome!

I am so happy that this is available and that I have found all of you.

Oh yes, I spent 8 months on Bill Phillip's Body For Life program last year and lost 65 lbs. I loved the program, but it was so much protein! And, animal protein at that. My lymph glands in my neck became grossly swollen. They thought I had lymphoma. It isn't, and the doctor says they do not know what it was. I believe it was my lymph nodes geting backed up. They are slowly going down as I change my diet. I am off 90% animal protein and that has semed to help a great deal.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome Back, Nortonp!


Welcome to Alissa's wonderful site! This is an incredibly supportive place with lots of informed folks, and plenty of information to help you on your path to your most optimal health!

I'm really glad that you have Alissa's book and DVD! They are both awesome, and inspiring!

I am sorry to hear about the SAD effect from over-consuming animal protein. 90% animal protein, oH my goodness!:eek:

I'm glad to hear that the swelling of your lymph nodes is slowly dissipating.
Thank Goodness, for the truly healing Living Foods Lifestyle.

Many blessings to you on your healing journey and have fun exploring all of the delicious raw recipes in Alissa's book!:p
