I first tried the raw food diet in 2005. I did not know what I was doing and just ate everything raw and in very poor food combinations. I gave it up. In 2007, I had a severe medical debacle happen to my colon, which left me with metal shrapnel pieces lodged throughout my pelvic cavity. Through a series of 4 surgeries, 9 CT scans numerous other x-ray procedures to remove the metal, I was left with agonizing pain. I was desperate. I decided to go 100% raw for 30 days, then proceed with a 7-day water-only fast. When the fast was over, my pain disappeared. My colon was severely damaged and has not recovered, however I am not giving up hope as I know God is going to heal me in His time. I stayed raw, and in another 5 months my thyroid panels came back normal and I quit my medication which I had been on to treat my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. My eczema disappeared.

Since that time, I have not been able to stop learning and absorbing raw and living foods nutrition. I have attended countless lectures, seminars, food demonstrations, pot lucks, and have compiled a notable library on raw foods. I now help people here only when I am sought out for help. I certainly am no expert, just a woman who loves God and wants to share His love for them. If I can help people by showing them how to juice or prepare a raw meal (although I eat rather simply), than it is a fulfilling gift to me.
