I am so happy right now. So happy!!!

I just got back from my doctor appointment. Last week I finally went in to get all my blood tests so I could see (from a blood point of view) how my raw lifestyle is working for me. (8 months now)

Last year when I had my blood work done (Mar07) my cholesterol was really high, my blood sugars were high, my liver was testing SUPER high... I was not a well person at all. My doctor was not pleased. My liver was definitely not doing well at all... I had the levels of a 50 year alcoholic (and I don't drink)!!!

Make a long story short... as most of you already know, I came upon the raw lifestyle in August 2007 and began to change my life!

Today I got my blood test results back... and my Doctor was blown away. My blood sugars were perfect, my bad cholesterol was super low, my b12 levels are perfect, my daily iron levels are perfect... and my liver... my liver is working at optimal levels!!! Beyond optimal actually, he was amazed!

The only cleanse other than fasts and feasts I've done is ReNew Life "Cleanse Smart".

The only concern he has is my reserve iron levels are a little low, but I'm going to be adding a little fresh lemon or part of an orange to my green smoothies now as citric acid assists the body to absorb iron. So all those glorious greens are high in iron and adding a mandrin orange (which I just did... very yummy... skin and all as the skin of this orange is very thin) should do the trick!

Great news... best news I've ever had from a doctor actually LOL - So... this is proof... RAW living RAWKS!!!

Oh and my Doctor said to me, "Aleesha, what you are doing is working... keep up the Raw lifestyle!"

Isn't that great!!!

This is really wonderful Aleesha. Many congratulations! It's a beautiful thing when a traditional doctor recognizes the power of eating raw foods. Just think how this will change his or her care of future or current patients. Wow.

Terrific!!! You are a raw ambassador taking the message to the doctor world! Maybe when that doctor has a patient with problems like you used to have they'll consider saying " you might try a raw foods diet" and the world begins to shift!!! Cool!

Oh wow! That is wonderful! I bet you didn't need the test results to tell YOU how good you are feeling, huh? I keep remembering what my thyroid doc said, "...um, when you start feeling bad, come back in..." Well, since I'm not eating bad foods, I'm not going to go see him. :p

How simple. By eating. To heal ones' self! I absolutely love it! And don't you just wanna scream this off the top of a mountain. It's like finding the fountain of youth or something.

Congrads!!! WOO HOO!!! Cool beans!!!

Hurray! I'm so happy for you! You must be more than thrilled. Did the Dr. faint at the results? ;) Just think, you helped yourself and also passed on the msg of healing foods.:)

updating this old thread: within 6 months my low residual iron levels became nice and high by adding citrus to my green smoothies and into my salads.

doctor wanted me to have iron shots if it didn't work... and it did! he was thrilled!!!
