Hello
nope, me too, though its slow going and my results arent as great yet as i'd hoped...
however i'm going to be working with someone knowledgeable about healing with raw food in the UK where I live, and am hopeful she can help me recover from this crippling illness. i've had ME/CFS now for over 9 years, am mostly wheelchair bound, very low energy, inability to care for my children (19,16,12), or have much of a 'normal' life at all. i've been experimenting with raw since i got ill, and spent 2 years at 100% in 2001/2, which did heal alot of my gastro problems... i've been mostly high raw now since last april, but no dramatic effects this time unfortunately... i've had probably the worst winter that i've had since i got ill :-((
so anyway... open to any tips or hints to improve this terrible state...
love and light

Hi Catalyst,

I'm still undergoing the experimental process, but I have been playing around with a low fat fruit based diet. (loosely following the concept of 80/10/10.)

I noticed that I started feeling better when I added wheatgrass juice.

Hope this helps...I have Fibro/CFS.

This CFatigueSyndrom , is very much due to the lack of sleep and Omega-3 .

The PostDoctorate of an american Doctor on the subject - Burn Out - is healing a lot people under it only with induced sleep ( infusions direct into the blood stream ) and an high dosage of Veg Omega-3 .

This process reconstruct the Neurons destroyed by the ' Negative Constant Stress ' , as said .

Hi all!

Emma (Catalyst) I'm not sure if you've already tried this, but I found a huge benefit in mono eating (fruit, I find melon works best) for breakfast. I then add a green smoothie a little later (about an hour or so). Sometimes, during my 'relapses' that this works better than starting off the day with a green smoothie. Oh, and I find nut milks are very soothing too. It's just another one of those odd coping strategies that may or may not help.

I hope the person you're working with is able to help - next winter will be better for you :-D

Sending you good vibes, and wishing you well x

i think i got CF from going raw! I just don't get enough sleep on raw, and perhaps i have developed deficiencies too. but i stay raw, because emotionally i feel stable and clear. i am still working on modifying my diet and searching for supplements to help. i am trying rhodiola right now. i just need to figure out how i can sleep 8 hours a night on raw, instead of 5...

i think mine is stress related too...

I've never been diagnosed with CFS, though I was attracted to raw foods because of a profound and debilitating exhaustion I've been suffering from for years. I used to think it was due to bouts with depression, but I'm coming to think that the depression could be a result of such consistent and deep lethargy.

I've been living largely off of raw fruit/veg juices for the last two weeks and have noticed a miraculous change in energy level. So much so that I'm considering going 100% raw/vegan after many years as a steak and potatoes guy.
