I just wanted to introduce myself. I am moonlit a wife, and mom to 5 children. I have been vegetarian for over 10 years now and have gone vegan from time to time. I have IBS and found that eatting dairy, whole wheat, bran, and some skins of fruit cause me flare ups which is why I know I should stay vegan.
My dh was reading up on the raw diet (from an article about extended breastfeeding that I sent him) and he decided that he would like to try going raw. My dh has psoriasis and in reading that going raw could heal him he wanted to try it out.
Well for years I have been trying to get this man of mine to go vegetarian and now it's him that chooses to go vegan raw!:eek:
I couldn't exactly say no to him.
So I have tried a coulple dishes that were good (raw tacos, eggplant and avocado salad) and we have purchased a juicer, dehydrator (stil waiting for this to come in the mail), and a few books.
I have began already with just adding more raw and eliminating alot of the processed foods that I normally ate. I have been making fruit smoothies every morning, having a big ol salad like twice a day.
I'm thinking starting tomorrow we will start going at least 75% raw and see where all this leads us.
Anyway I look forward to getting to know you all.:D

Welcome!

There is a lady named Puffysmom on the April challenge thread who is doing raw to heal her psoriasis. I don't think it's all gone yet, but I think it is better...and it flares back up again if she eats something now raw.

Good luck to you and your husband...and good health.:)
