Hi guys.
I have been a lurker for a while during my first month eating raw. I am a massage therapist & I have Fibromyalgia, Epstein barr and Hypothyroidism. During Christmas I was sick and had to take medication. I wanted to detox after this so I did some research and went raw. I do not have a juicer or dehydrator yet, didn't want to invest in them until I saw how it affected my health. I did read all of your recipe ideas and did what I could.
I do not have a scale but I did notice my fibromyalgia pain lessened and when I went back to the doctor 1 month later I had lost 8 pounds! This is without trying to lose weight, eating lots of raw and never being hungry. Amazing, considering that on 2 of the weekends I did eat what I used to call "normal" food. I have found that I now do not even like cooked food.
I have gone through the cold phase and also got excema for the first time in my life but I know this is detoxing.
Looks like I will be getting a Champion Juicer and Excalibur dehydrator from what all of your advice seems to be.
So thanks for the helpful message board!
