Re: Anyone on raw food ?

[Guest guest]

I was a raw food vegan for four years. It helped me for a long time,

particulary in cleansing from processed foods, but I eventually developed

hypothyroid and B-12 deficiency. I had the wrong metabolic type for it. The

body stores reserves and I think that's what kept me going. There are a lot of

natural toxins in unprepared foods. I still eat raw foods but I eat them

fermented most of the time. I learned that it takes animal protein to rebuild

myelin and chelate metals. There has never been any culture of people in

history living on a raw vegetarian diet. Try adding a little to your diet and

don't consider yourself a failure if you can't keep it up. I think that eating

whole foods as opposed to synthetic frankenfoods is going to be a huge benefit

for you.

I have alkaline blood and an alkaline diet was not good for me. If you are

acidic, the diet would work better for you. Some people do better than others on

a raw diet.

> I have decided to try a raw food diet as well as being on the BBDiet , anyone

here doing the same with any success ? I know it is a lot of restrictions with

both diets but I want more energy instead of having to plan my day around the

energy I have . I have heard great things about eating raw foods and it makes

real sense to me , but Wow ! , how do you manage that.

I have been mixing raw food and BBD diet. I think its working out for me. I

don't feel numbness in my left side anymore. Just have residual numbness which

acts as blessing in disguise. As I eat something my body doesn't like, my

numbness increases a bit.so I know that I don't need to have that particular

food.

I believe in the power of food( you are what you eat) works mostly. I think you

should definitely go for it and let me know if you want any help on getting more

info about it.

I have read approximately 20 stories of people who recovered from MS by eating a

raw vegan diet. I don't know that it would work for everyone or that everyone

could do it. Also, one never knows if someone really had MS or they were just

told they had it or self-diagnosed. Even Ann Boroch has admitted she never had

an MRI or a spinal tap, and yet everyone seems to concur that she had MS (I

myself do not think she did).

Anyaw, the raw food stories I have read are in the following places: Two stories

on Nison's Raw Life Health Show, about 13 stories on the Hallelujah Acres

website, the woman who runs the raw magazine, I believe one story on

Dudley's Alternative MS website, and another story on a stem cell website. Most

of these people achieved full remission. If anyone wants the specific links to

these stories, please let me know and I will send or post them.

I myself have tried raw vegan diet but find myself getting incredibly hungry and

feeling unsatisfied and with incredible hunger pains. I try to supplement with

hemp and such for protein and various " super foods " but remain famished until I

eat something heavier.

On another note, someone questioned whether Terry Wahls has MS or heavy metal

poisoning. (Of course all of us with MS have probably asked ourselves the same

questions about our own MS diagnosis--Is it really metals, toxin, infection,

Lyme, etc.) So Dr. Wahls diagnosis is no different than the rest of ours. Simply

because she had her metals tested recently and they were high (especially gad

which comes from the gad contrast agent) is not a reason to think that she does

not have MS. According to Dr. Wahls and as can be seen in her own description of

the progression of her illness, it seems clear she has SPMS, which has included

optic neuritis and drop foot and eventually needing 2 canes over the coures of

years, and then a wheelchair. She also had lesions on her spinal cord and bands

on her spinal tap.

Since implementing a very high vegetable diet (minimum six servings of

vegetables per day but preferably more than 6, and 3 fruits per day) as well as

other facets to her program she gone from a 6.5 to a 3.5 on the EDSS over the

course of about a year or two. She is not raw vegan, but the majority of what

she eats is vegetables, some being cooked. Here is a very inspirational

video/presentation she did at the MSRC in which she delineates her MS

progression and the significant recovery she has had. I think all will be

inspired to watch it and it will clear up any concerns about whether she really

had MS or not. She most certainly did have MS, at least as much as any of the

rest of us have MS:

Again this is not a raw diet per se, but the extremely high amount of vegetables

she eats may have the same effect.

I think that as you progress in your recovery or the disease you have needs that

change over time. For example, I need animal fats now and got by without them

when I was so sick. I needed light meals that were easy to digest in the

beginning. I had a lot of cleansing to do. I'm in the rebuilding stage now and

I need protein and fats, fewer carbs. There may come a time when I need to have

less fats and more carbs. Why would your diet stay the same when your health

doesn't?
