Crohn's has changed my life.

[rawcurious]

Hello all,
My wife, children, and I are finding healthier ways to eat and live. I have severe crohn's disease and have had surgery for it at the ripe old age of 28. LOL. I am about to turn twenty nine and don't want to be in the clutches of big phara or have to have my family watch as my health declines because the medical community isn't looking to heal the sick. I am physically fit and in need of a great food plan. My wife is interested in raw food for the weight loss benefits and my children need to learn what and where good food should be made from.
Thanks for the chance to join this group.
Joe, Angela, and our girls

VITAMIN A ( dark greens)

VITAMIN E ( sun seed , almond)

IRON (dark greens)

VEGAN B12 SUPPLIMENT (like yarrow brand 'methyl b12' , lemon flavor )

NON RAW NUTRITIONAL YEAST (for b vitamins)

SEA WEED TO THEN ACT AS INSURANCE FOR WHAT IM MISSING BECAUSE IT GROWS IN THE MINERAL RICHEST SOILS ON EARTH AT BOTTOM OF SEAS THUSLY STOCKED WITH ALOTO MINERALS , I GET KELP / DULSE FROM WWW.SEAVEG.COM

* since going raw and reading about it alot a giant trend ive seen is person after person saying DARK GREENS , thats put me in a current mind set of being content if im getting a mixture of aloto dark greens / nuts or seeds for protein and fat / citrus for vita c / my b12 supp / nutritional yeast for the b's . along with drinking solely water . if im getting that i feel im good to roll

Thanks for the warm reception. I do believe that the time is right for an educated change. A healthy life and a healthy family are my goals, to have those met would make me rich beyond my dreams.

I wish you everything you need to Stay RAW...........Welcome to MY World.

It's great to have you here and the best place to learn about raw and living foods is in Alissa's book and then watching her DVD. You will know everything you need to make an educated decision.....and.....you'll find that you can't help but want to eat more fresh fruits and veggies. Good luck in your search!:)
