going raw
Hi everyone, I'm a young journo writing an article about raw foodism - was wondering if anyone could tell me what inspired them to take on a raw food diet? what are the benefits you've seen?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi Lex,
I've written in depth about my choices to go raw on my blog, which you can check out here: http://www.rawandvegan.com/?page_id=20
In short though, I had been a junk food vegetarian caffiene addict for too long and become obese as a result. I was not a serial dieter, and did not want to go on a "diet" - I wanted a lifestyle. When I found out about Raw Foods it was the answer, as there is nothing more simple than just cutting out all processed products and eating only natural and pure foods. Since going raw I have lost 30kgs, out of 80kgs in total to get to my goal weight range.
Feel free to email me if you want more information. I also teach classes in raw food preparation and actively involved in the Perth raw food community.
Cheers,
Kate

Hi Lex,
Welcome! I suffered from debilitating health condition's, specifically painful eczema however also just way too frequent colds and flus. I found raw foods in my search to heal myself naturally. After quite a journey (to say the least!) I am now fully healed and no longer need to use the steroid medication I had to use every day of my life from childhood.
Embracing the raw lifestyle has also given me incredible mental clarity, more energy, more passion and a real sense of spiritual awareness and connectedness.
It has also now become my career and I am totally passionate about helping others to walk their own path and really get the benefits from this lifestyle!
I'm more than happy to chat to you in more depth about any or all of the above if that would help.
Best of luck!
Casey

A food log is a great idea! I hope that you can isolate the cause. They didn't hurt or itch or anything like that, but they didn't look right. At first I thought it was skin cancer or something!
I looked up petechiae as Eric recommended in the co...

Yes- they're called petechiae and I've always heard that they are liver-related. They can also be due to anemia and low platelet count. If you also bruise easily, that might be the likely cause.
I get them too and they come and go.
Pink Lady Apple,
I used to get those. I know exactly what they look like - they are tiny, they can vary in size, they are circular, flat, and very red. They do look like blood blisters, but flat!
I stop getting them after I did an extended water...
than?
Id love to try Noni.

I really believe that is possible to heal all of the body...regeneration of tissue is not a far fetched concept. There is a case of a man who re-grew a finger, recently! I have to dig to find the article, but I read it on naturalnews.com. Mind you...
