hello to all,
My name is Roxi, I am 26 years old and live in connecticut. I am a stay at home mom to 2 children ages 3 and 6. I first learned about raw foods about 6 years ago from my mother who had lung cancer. My great aunt and uncle who is a nurse told my mom about raw foods after she got her diagnoses with cancer. The docs gave her only 6 months to live but she ended up making it for 5 years!!!! I recently decided to try a raw diet myself after being diagnosed with asthma and allergies. I am just tired of feeling horrible all the time and hope this will help me as well. Also hoping to lose the last 20 lbs.

Hello Roxi! Wow! What an amazing story of your mom. Yet, it's a familiar story amongst raw veganers. I'm so glad every time I hear of someone curing their cancer with raw vegan. Another person I don't have to wish that "if they only knew" wish.

Hi Rawxy -- your name is so cute!

Welcome - this is the greatest place to be going raw. I am starting week 3 at 100% and could not have done it without RFT!

All the best to you,

Cynthia
