Crazy Healer Lady

I injured my back to the point where I was bedbound. Everything was very painful, and I was unable to sit due to the compression of my spine. I was (and still am) going to acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, physiotherapy, kinesiology, and my physician, plus my friend who is an amazing energy healer colleague. Nothing was helping, and I was in fact getting worse. Weeks of this!
Day 5 Raw, I started to feel a bit better. The pain is less severe.
Day 12 Raw, for the first time, I am not ready to knock myself out after visiting the kinesiologist!!
I'm walking! Actually walking! I'm not hobbling or shuffling at the speed of a 101 year-old granny! I'm sitting a little, too! That's still iffy, but it's healing! I'm walking to the mailbox in record time! I'm still quite slow coming down (as it's downhill and it's difficult) but oh my gods!
I really feel it is the raw food. That, and expressing to my body that I was ready to heal now, with the raw food as my communicator.
I know the therapies are helping, but I truly feel like the raw food is my saving grace. And yesterday was my second day of drinking carrot juice - that was an incredible boost I didn't expect. It was like a lubricator for my spinal joints!!!
Not only this, but when I started raw, on Facebook I put out a general challenge for my friends to add more raw foods to their diet, or go raw for good. I was so surprised by the response! Fourteen people stepped up, excited! I have since created a group for my friends with recipes, articles, etc. (still in the works).
I guess I just needed to express my joy ^-^ I am finally well enough to visit my coworkers today, and even though I will not be bringing them raw food, I'm actually well enough to stand and work the oven to bring them some vegan cupcakes.
I can't believe it. Living food... can it get any simpler? I also feel for the first time that I am fully equipped, fully able to do the raw diet because I was raw for over a year before I got off, then I aquired my vitamix, and I have made so many recipes and experimented that I won't ever go hungry and I will get all my nutrients.
I'm walking on air!
