a greeting from Slovenia

[emmeline.pop]

Hello. So as you can see I am from Slovenia. I've been reading this forum for a couple of months and then i decided to become a part of it..(why not? :))

I am 15 years old.So yeah very young. But I am proud of myself that I found this healthy way of living at a such young age.I think I started reading books about raw eating when i was 12. But at a such young age my parents would kill me if i would try eating this way (i think). Luckily i convinced my mother into this. And I am so happy that I have at least one family member supporting me.

But...Eventhough I am aware of consequences of "normal" food I still can't stop eating it. Last time I was raw it was from july till september. At that time I didn't even think about eating that fake food anymore..but my dad kind of forced me. But I won't give up. Now I've been almost completly raw since 20th March. And I think now I am doing a lot better.I managed to convince my mind that "normal" food is disgusting..and really I can't stand it anymore.

Sorry for long writing.I wish you all the best.

Oh and one question..I noticed a couple of times a shortening SAD.What does it mean actually?

Hi emmeline.pop!
It is so cool and wonderful that you're finding raw at such a young age!

SAD = "standard American diet"
It's just shorthand for all "that fake food" as you mentioned. :)

Welcome to the forum.
I wish you all the best!

Well curently i am very sick.And I went to a doctor..and he obviously presribed me pills..but I wont take any. Do you think this is a good decision?

Good luck on your raw journey!

Don't know enough about your illness to make that judgement. Is there a holistic doctor you could go to? He/She may have more natural options to help your body heal.

Well they suspect that i have mononucleosis but they dont know as they still dont have blood test results..and still they prescribed me antibiotics for bacterial inflammation of mouth,lymph and oral cavity. Which is dangerous if i have mononucleosis but the doctor said that couple of days wont do any harm :eek:

Crazy doctors they are like playing with pills and our health and guessing what is wrong.I've chose to listen to my own body.Believe it or not I feel a lot better eventhough I didnt take not even 1 pill. Thanks guys for your support.
