Hi all,
I am new to the raw, organic lifestyle. I am a 32 (soon to be 33) year old living with stage IV breast cancer. A few months ago, I was getting really bad pains in my lower back, both hips and legs, right shoulder, and even in my skull. I started eating raw, organic and the pain disolved in 2 days. I was amazed. I didn't go 100% for the first 2 months and anytime I cheated with something "really bad", I would start feeling discomfort again. I would go back on raw, organic and again the pain would go away. I did this 2 or 3 times before I was convinced that this is the way for me. I am still learning and am looking for support, education, and looking forward to meeting other that are interested in this same lifestyle.
Jen

Welcome.
Have you read The China Study by T Colin Campbell.
Also there is a movie called Crazy Sexy Cancer that may interest you.There is sufficient in the world for man's need, but not for his greed.

I have bulging disks in my lower back and since going raw i am pain and medication free!! My allergies, sinuses, and asthma is WAY better.... I have hardly any. I started all natural food in August and went raw in October. I feel fantastic and its only the beginning!!
I wish you all the best, hope the links help you. I will say a prayer for you.... HUGS!Fellowship of the Fasters as ~ Lady Laenaya( Not currently fasting)
