Raw food Diet vs. Doctor/Prescription Drugs

[Apple22]

Hi All!

I had a 99% raw month in July and the 1st week in Aug. then after that- up to mid Sept. I ate meat and some cooked stach, like 2 time per week, along with raw veggies.

My sypmtom is that when I smell an odor-that particular smell will stay in my nose- for hours or days. And everytime I Exhale I emit that odor from my nose. For example, my mother was spraying Ant spray in the bathroon near my room and I smelled it. The next day I went to work and a co-worker said she smells bug spray.

I know it's way too early to figure out if raw can heal me, especially when I ate some cooked food for about a month. I make 6.75/hr and I keep telling myself that I need to go to Social Services to apply for Medcaid. I'm angry at myself for not seeking more medical attention( I've seen 3 doctors in the past). I wonder can I afford to pay medical bills and maintain a raw diet at the same time, making 6.75/hr ?

*I know that having a doctor daignose my current health condition, even if "false", will help me in the "work place", because when you have an odor problem i'ts very hard even to get a quality paying job. And some companies will try to get rid of you. I'm lauged at and talked about every single day.

O.k. I have no idea if this will help but have you tried a neti pot? If you feel the odor is coming through your nose, this will help. I believe that our bodies have everything they need to heal if we give our bodies the right things, like raw food. If you are worried about cost, I would check out Amberstorms blog... she is feeding 2 people on about $10 every 3 days and has been posting what she has been making. She is an inspiration to EVERYONE. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for..... :)

P.S. I am sorry to hear about the people in your workplace. Stay strong and do what is right for you

I don't understand your question but can say if you try to cure oneself being raw - do it 100% and it will take time, so be very patient. Depending on the condition and other lifestyle factors, it could take up to several months. Mixing prescription drugs, mixing eating habits(even for a day) and anything similar usually is antiproductive and slows the healing process down.

Ofcourse, you have people who say they are cured within a week or something of their troubles. This is possible, depending on what is truly wrong, but bear in mind exercise, a positive mindset, other conditions play a major role. Food doesn't heal, it puts the body in the right state to heal itself. :)

You're not going to like this yet, consider that just because you smell something it doesn't mean others do as well and, this laughing and talking about you every single day may be your mis-perception and imagination. If it is, then what?

I'd suggest maybe checking with people who you know love and care about you and asking them if they can smell you and what you smell.
