Introducing Myself

[Alphagev]

Hello All,

I just heard about the raw food diet and I wholeheartedly believe that it is the most natural and best diet for the human body. I am 19 years of age and I just purchased a Vitamix 5200 blender. My goal is to change the diet of my immediate family and heal my grandparents (one who has diabetes, and the other various heart problems and prostate cancer (benign)).

I hope to find the proper guidance and support on this forum to do so.

Thanks in Advance,

George

good luck... Start slow and invite them along, lol. It may be a tough sell for all three generations but when they see how much it is helping YOU, they may be convinced to try it.

Hi George, welcome. =]
I'm nineteen as well (and severely jealous of your VitaMix). I wish you the best of luck with your family, although I'd strongly advise not pushing anything on them. I mean, always offer to share, and make them some delicious desserts to try, but what will have the most impact on them is watching how drastically your life and health will improve.
My family and friends were very skeptical of my switch to raw (which was fairly recent), but now I got my dad to try a green smoothie, and my steak n' dairy loving fiance is trying to better his health as well (although I don't know for sure how much of that is influenced by me).
At any rate, you will find tons of support and lovely people here. They're all really helpful and inspiring, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
