Six months raw today! (And, just in, high blood pressure gone!) :)
Today is my six month anniversary of going raw (Jan 11).
Good News: I discovered today I no longer have high blood pressure :)
Bad News: I discovered this as a result of fainting into the bathtub :(
Good News: I am apparently unharmed by the experience :)
I have been progressively cutting my high blood pressure medication as I have had episodes of positional hypotension. I'd gotten down to less than 1/8th what I was taking 6 months ago.
Given that my blood pressure post fainting came in at 100/50... I'm going to eliminate the last little bit I've been taking and monitor what happens, but I'm pretty sure I'm done with high blood pressure (and the associated meds).
So, to summarize, in the last 6 months raw (exactly) I've:
Lost over 100lbs (112lbs actually).
Cured my sleep apnea.
Cured my fatty liver disease
Cured my pre-diabetes
(summary of the above here)
Cured my hypertension

Outstanding and congrats on the 6 mos. mark !!!!!!!!!!!! You have accomplished a lot and are ~6 years younger !!!!
This diet/lifestyle is not for everyone.. you are part of an "elite club"... be consistent.. and keep balanced... you will continue to improve...
Be sure to get your minerals.... (I love green smoothies w/superfoods).....

It's very possible. 15+ years in the game, and you learn a lot, like how to reach your audience.
You think he'll let me see his home in Hawaii?
I've met some hit chix on GITMR. Not satisfying in the least. Just the opposite. Most communication is self-defeating, accomplishes nothing. I would love it if people would leave me alone when I'm out and about. Anybody else?
