Hi I'm Anthony. I have what's called ulcerative colitis a digestive/autoimmune disease. "Medical doctors" say it's incurable. I say BULLSHIT! :)
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 10 years ago. I have been struggling with this for some time now and I'm ready to make some major changes to my diet and lifestyle. I was turned on to Raw food by Paul Nison, who suffered from UC until he healed himself with a raw food diet and a healthy lifestyle. I hope to learn about this lifestyle and share my experiences with all who want and need it.
My sole mission at this point in my life is to heal myself and return to living an extraordinary and meaningful life.

Hi Anthony!
Thanks for adding me as a friend! I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and a wish you all the best for the new year! As you may know, we have a lot in common, I've also been suffering from ulcerative colitis for ten years and trying everything to get better. Now I'm on the path to raw (finding the detoxing very difficult!) and I'm covinced this is the only way to get healthy!
Happy New year!/Therése

It's going well! I love eating raw foods...so fresh and fulfilling in many ways. I have been raw for about 6 months now and although I am not 100% raw, I eat mostly raw and all vegan. It's been great! Good luck to you and I hope your health improves!
