Hi! I'm Michelle and I am so thankful I found this site! I am 29 years old and I have two little girls ages 5 and 2. I stumbled across the forum a week ago. I was searching for some help for my health. I am so tired and sick, I can barely take care of my two little girls.

The last few weeks I have been in and out of doctors' offices trying to figure out what's going on. I suspected a thyroid problem and was hoping and praying that they would find it so I could get some help. But all the tests have come back with excellent numbers and I am back at square one with no answers. I don't want to go in for more tests and more tests while getting no more answers.

I believe it was a blessing from God that I found this site! I have been doing a 95% raw diet for 7 days now and I really think this is THE answer I've been looking for!! I am feeling a little more healthy on the inside and I haven't felt this way in probably never! I am so excited to get my energy back and to see what a day feels like without a constant headache!

I'm SO happy you found this forum and that you are feeling better! Keep it up! Where in ID are you? I'm in Idaho Falls so if you're around here I'm having a raw potluck at my house tonight (the 14th) and you are welcome to show up.
Best wishes on your journey.

Thank you! I am in Meridian, so I am not so close! :(

What a neat idea though! I wish I was close enough to drop by! I am so new to this whole thing I would have loved to see what real RAW people eat!! (ok, that's sounds really dorky, but I don't know how else to say it!!) I've been doing mostly salads and cut fruit!

Try meetup.com that's how I found a small group of raw foodists in this area. Good luck!

Welcome Michelle. I know what you mean about feeling blessed by God to have found this site. I, too, have been struggling with tiredness, depression and overweight for just about all my life, but especially the last 22 years. I just know that you will be helped by eating raw food. I urge you to start a blog to track your progress and what you eat and how it makes you feel. I look forward to seeing you around here.

I got Alissa's book from my doctor and stumbled onto the website. In 18 days of raw I have managed to turn around 35 years worth of health problems. I was very sick. My body is slowly starting to adjust now. It loves raw food! :)
