I started gradually transitioning to raw back in august when a dr recommended a 75% raw food diet with adding lean meats to it as well. I began to notice when I ate the raw food I felt good and when I did add other things like lean meats my stomach started to not tollerate it. So I did some research looking online about the raw food diet and that's when I began eating more just raw food. Since I have been doing this I have gotten off of pain meds as well as pysch meds. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and bipolar disorder. My psychiatrist started seeing such a difference and my body litterally started rejecting the meds and making me really sick that he agread that I was better able to control my moods with sticking to this diet than with medication. I also have so many days where I feel zero pain and it feels great. I do still struggle with days of not sticking to it 100% and running into problems but I am getting better and trying to not beat myself up when I don't do as well one day. I figured that getting on this site would help me with some added support and motivation. Being able to meet other people in the Ann Arbor area would be very cool too.
