It Never Ceases to Amaze me How RAPIDLY I Recover on Raw!!!

[Green_Woman]

As my own journey continues through developing a sustainable, balanced 100% Raw and Living Foods lifestyle, I discover more and more what makes this the BEST diet for my Body and Mind!


For instance, I can be sick as a DOG, and all it takes is a big Green Smoothie, a brief nap, and a hot bath and I bounce back better than ever. No medications, no Doctor visits, no prescriptions or days in bed recovering.... just a few hours of ick, and then I'm back on my feet stronger than before.

I LOVE RAW!

I LOOOVE My Amazing Body!!!

I have the Immune System of an IRON WOMAN! :D

Another thing is how CLEAR my Body's signals and communications are to me, now, compared to when I first started Raw in 2006. I've been feeling run-down for a few days, and my Body today made it clear to me the root cause of this feeling - it was such a simple fix, it's hardly worth mention. But I will just say that it starts with GREEN and ends with SMOOTHIE. ;)

TRUST your Raw Bodies... they WILL communicate - IF you LISTEN!!!

so true.

After rebounding tonight, I had an extremely productive evening... and now I feel READY to sleep, rather than just surrendered to the idea. ;)

I find the same when training. I trained with Coach Tara (http://www.youtube.com/user/CoachTara) last week and we both thought I would be in a LOT of pain. None! Nothing! Zilch! Nada! When I do get sore, it's minor. Just a sign telling me I had a really good workout/play session.

As I read this thread I just realized how little down time I have had since going raw. Thats a fantastic plus.

Makes me kind of sad for all the lost years due to shoveling my body full of dead, SAD foods, but HAPPY for all the years I have ahead of me full of LIFE and vitality, thanks to RAW FOODS! WOOHOO!

So, I apparently have the Immune System of a goddess!



There is MOLD in my House!!! MOLD!!!!!!


And guess who, though ill and fatigued, is NOT holed up in a hospital bed right now, as she would have been a few months ago from this type of direct exposure??????????


GREEEEEEEN WOMAN!!!!!


Just call me Super Green. ;)

May I ask, do you still have your appendix?

[Green_Woman]

*laughing*

Yes, I do. Why do you ask? :D

[streetsurfer]

Mine was taken out when I was 20. It seems more health issues developed over the years after it was removed. Many doctors now support the idea that it is a key player in a stong immune system. I asked because it interests me to know if others saw a decline in overall health after an appendectomy. I sometimes wonder if my immune system will ever be as strong as it could have been. Thanks for answering...

My immune system has gotten stronger and stronger on Raw, but prior to Raw, I was a "sickly child"!

And the older I got, the sicker I got, starting with migraines when I was 10 yrs old and developing into Fibromyalgia + Arthritis in injured joints + Migraines + ENDOMETRIOSIS + Bipolar + Suicidal Depression + Rapid Weight Fluctuation + Allergies to EVERYTHING + Colds and Flus CONSTANTLY + just about everything else you can imagine by the time I was just 20 years old!

But now that I've been TOTALLY RAW and LIVING VEGAN since last Fall, I'm healing so rapidly I hardly know what's going to work better the next time I turn around. :eek:

I'm still working on clearing up my skin. My gut is telling me that Angela Stoke's GREEN JUICES concept is what my Body is asking for, now... I've tried several other things and though most things - especially raw solutions - HAVE worked briefly, usually within a few days my skin is worse.

Oil-cleansing worked for a few days but two days ago my skin began to dry out too much and develop rashes.

I do want to clarify that I don't believe it's the oil cleansing by itself that is causing my skin to rash out, though. Part of it is the natural detox process before you see a brighter dawn, most likely.

But more notably: I am in a house with a Mold problem right now, and my Body, though holding up just AMAZINGLY WELL right now, IS bound to react in SOME ways. My skin always goes nuts when my Body is flushing toxins rapidly, and I KNOW she's doing some heavy duty flushing right now to keep me supported. :)

I still think it's GREAT therapy though... I've seen too many happy success stories about it to think it's bad. :D And man, does the oil-pulling ever do WONDERS for my teeth!!!

My Body is never wrong... she wants Green Juices, then Green Juices shall she have. :D

[Green_Woman]

I'm a little bit of a guinea pig for RAW, aren't I? :D

I'm trying all these new things, and MOST work famously and some don't work for me... I hope these trial and error processes are helping others out. :D They certainly jive for me!!!
