Hello, My name is Crystal. I am American, but currently living in Amsterdam. I was feeling very sick for the past 3 months, just a lot of fatigue and brain fog. So, I decided to try eating raw. It is really helping so far. I've only been doing it for a few weeks, but I can tell a big difference. I'm not "jumping off the walls" with energy, but I don't feel like I can't move off the couch either.
Also, every time when I have cheated and eaten processed food, I feel like total crap again, so I know where the culprit is coming from.
I have an underactive thyroid and was very close to being diagnosed with either Rhuematoid Arthritis or Lupus, but my rhuemy never figured out what it was before it went away :) When I because pregnant with my (now 3 yrs old) son, it went into remission and I haven't had problems since until a few months ago. I am not going to let it take my life away this time, as my son is too important to me.
I'm so glad to find this. Wish me luck!
Edited to add: I forgot to add that I also had blood in my stool after starting the diet. Has anyone had this too?
