Hello, My name is Monica, I am the 30 yo mother of 3. Married to my husband CJ whom is a career firefighter.
We are just starting on our journey to Raw living. I am chronically ill with a host of illness. That consist of Asthma, Insulin dependent diabetic, Fibro, lupus, Neuralgia, deep fungal sinusitis. And i believe thats its. I am also Prednisone, steroids dependent.
Over 5yrs now, ive gone from a healthy woman to a very sick woman and doctors are still stumped as to why i got so sick so fast. SO i went from 112lbs to now my highest weight is 221lbs.
Through the guidance of my Chiropractor we are on the journey to get my health back. So here we are. I hope to get lots of info and support from this group.

Hi Monica. It is good to have you here and if there is any way that we can help you be sure to shout out loud.
There is nothing on your list of illnesses that your body is not capable of curing if you give it the right tools. It will be interesting to see how you progress.There is sufficient in the world for man's need, but not for his greed.

Hi Monica. I'm new here too.
How wonderful that CJ is going raw with you! I am feeling better in just 3 weeks with my CFS. I hope you see encouraging differences soon as well.
You'll be amazed at what a difference food choice makes. I found a quote recently that bears this out. It's inscribed on a 5000 year old pyramid:
Man lives on one quarter of what he eats, on the other three quarters, his doctor lives.
Doesn't look like much has changed in 5000 years.......

Welcome Monica and you're husband CJ. I wish you luck on your raw journey and cheers to better health!! You will find much support here
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind,
and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good."The most sublime truth of all has never been stated or written or sung,
not because it is far away and can’t be reached but because it is so intimately close,
closer than anything that can be spoken." - Gangaji
