I'm 26 and have heard of a raw food diet though I never aimed at going raw or maintaining it in the past. I have a friend who, through a raw diet, has cured himself of MS, he travels 2 hours to go to this raw foods store. Turns out this raw foods store was just 10 mins from my house. So two weeks ago I'm on my way to Whole Foods to get ear candles as I had given myself an ear infection, half way through my trek to the store, I get this feeling that they won't have what I'm looking for and instead turn the car towards Arnold's Way (raw cafe). Lo and behold I get some wonderful info, meet some lovely people, get my earcandles and come home with all this inspiration to pull out the dehydrater & food processor and get busy (already had the juicer out). I went into Arnold's the next day feeling 20 x's better (i was really sick when I went in the day before) and was offered a part time gig. So it's only been two weeks, I've got my fam on about 50% raw diet and I'm maintaining 60-80% raw diet. I feel pretty good and am having fun with it. So Hi, sorry for the rant, but it's my (suprisingly short version) on how I got here. :)
