Hey everyone, I woke up this morning and felt like it was time to share my full healing story with you all about what raw food has done for me!!
Thanks to Aleesha for her encouragement and support that I should share my healing story with all of you on the forum! :)
This is a huge step for me to do this. I've pretty much have kept this to myself for two years, except for the ones who are close to me, because I just was NOT willing to put up with any type of negativity pointing out that I can't be healed on raw food!! I'm very against any type of negativity, because I strongly believe it plays a very important part in my healing process and still does in other areas of my life!
I took a stand for my health and my positive attitude!! Now I'm really confident about raw food, I know with all my heart that raw food really does work!!
I almost died of a really high blood sugar level 2 years ago, in the 900 range. I was extremely thirsty to a point where I had to eat ice to keep my tongue moist, breathing really hard for air, felt like I was going to pass out for awhile, couldn't keep food down, my body wouldn't absorb any liquid and the liquid just went right through me. I had someone take me to the hospital and was in the ICU for 4 days.
The weird part was that I was determined to have a good attitude through it all and I knew somehow I would be okay! I just kept singing this song over and over in my mind that I am loved, I am protected, and my wounds will be made whole!
I recovered and so happy to be alive! And the message I felt like that was impressed upon me for a second chance to live was to live my life with the biggest heart of love that I can possibly have and find my one true love or soul mate. Love and goodness is all that really matters when it really comes down to it!
The doctors put me on insulin and I was okay with that at first. I was really glad to be alive, so I didn't care!
The first three months my vision was really blurry due to really high sugar level in the blood vessels of my eyes. The doctor assured me it would return to normal. It returned to normal after three months. I had to read everything with a magnifying glasses with my reading glasses on!! I even had to used the magnifying glasses when I went grocery shopping, so I could read the label, ingredients, and such.
I did a very extensive research about diabetes and herbs. I took alot of herbs and it did tone everything down. And I figured the food I ate in past is what had caused the problem in the first place along with lack of exercising, and the negative attitude!
Then later, I didn't want to be on insulin for the rest of my life. Thought the carb diet was ridiculous and not helping much!!
So I prayed about it and felt like I was guided to raw food without knowing that raw food movement exist. I was going by the Garden of Eden concept..
Once I started eating raw food, no more insulin from that point on. I really didn't care if anyone thought I was crazy!
Then I got really excited when I found out about the raw food movement, and I wasn't crazy after all!
So now it's been two years on raw food, got my tests done, and diabetic free, and getting healthy. My nutrition in the tests is all good and in the normal range!!
I was a real trooper through the whole thing!
I thank God for giving me another chance to live and to love!! And for guiding me to raw food and in all the ways that I needed to be healed!! It's truly a miracle that I'm still alive and no longer a diabetic!!
Love is the greatest gift of all, it's time for me to live my life in Love!!
Love to you all!! :)
