Profile Information

About Me:: My name is Judi and I am happily married and the mother of two wonderful children. I am 42 years old and live in Connecticut. I have been suffering with several illnesses for many years to the point where the quality of my life is drastically reduced. It all started age 19 when I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. At age 22 I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and irritable bowel syndrome and at age 29 with fibromyalgia. Since then I have also been diagnosed with; endometriosis, skin cancer, restless leg syndrome, tinnitus, sleep disorders, chronic ear infections, eczema, severe scalp psoriasis, chronic depression, and anxiety. This is not what I want for my life. I now have a strong inner knowing that most, if not all, of my illnesses are related to the food I've been eating for my entire life (the standard American diet). I now am making it my mission to cure myself using raw/live foods and to finally live the life that I am meant to live.

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?: Avocado, pineapple, lime smoothie. Mango, berries, berries and more berries.

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Personal growth books/studies, geo-caching, healing, spirituality

Favorite Books or Authors:: Too many

Favorite Quote:: "Did I just say that out loud?"

Website or Blog:: http://rawfoodhealingproject.blogspot.com

Food Addiction...Abandonment Issues... Revelation

Some of you may remember that I had a big argument with my husband last Sunday night. Couples argue all the time, not a big deal right? Not really... except that since my husband and I recommitted ourselves, last year, to making this marriage work, we rarely have very big arguments anymore. You may also remember that in a previous journal entry, I was not going to let him or our argument break my focus or upset me. Well, by yesterday’s journal entry you can see that I failed miserably with that… Continue

Raw Burritos... Yum!!!

I made a wonderful raw recipe the other night. Raw Burritos with Mole Sauce. I found this recipe on Kevin Gianni's, Health Renegade Show. The recipe itself was a little bit time consuming, but probably no longer than had I made cooked burritos. They were really very good except that I added a little too much Nama Shoyu, so it was a little salty for my taste. I'll include the recipe below:

In other news... I've decided, as part of my plan, to start everyday with a green smoothie for… Continue

A little thing called FEAR

Since I announced, the other day, that I have set a date to begin my healing journey using green smoothies and juices, I have been feeling a bit anxious, fearful if you will. When this happens the first thought in my mind is, "stop that, that is negative thinking, don't do that." What I am realizing is that by pushing these thoughts out of my mind I am denying myself a closer look at what is really going on with me. I think that this type of thinking comes from a childhood where I learned to nev… Continue

A plan for healing...

Wow! Already Tuesday?

We had a busy weekend. We went to Cape Cod to visit my Aunt whose husband (my Uncle Frank) died in a tragic drowning accident in Aruba last month. She is doing really very well, considering. She is an amazingly strong woman. She gave my husband Frank's gold bracelet that he bought four years ago when we were in Aruba with them. My husband had tears in his eyes when she handed it to him. I know how much my husband loved Frank and how much it means to him to have the brace…

Wow you are so open and honest, I'm going to continue with my raw blog as I'd dropped it. My friend also has fibro and she will not go the raw foods way so I'm glad you have the courage to. i'll continue to follow your journey as I'm trying to transition to totally raw too. It will be a great journey

At 6:55pm on May 11, 2008, Erin Fraser said…: Hi Aprilsun! I went raw 3 weeks ago in hopes of curing hypothyroidism and all of it's related ailments (hormone imbalances, fatigue, adrenal problems, anemia, etc.) I'd love to keep in touch and share info/progress:) A lot of the things you're dealing with are actually just symptoms of the hypothyroid- the fibro, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, possibly the endometriosis and maybe some of the skin stuff, too. I find it helps to know that they're connected and not just a bunch of separate ailments. Makes you feel like it's more possible to heal!

At 6:54pm on March 31, 2008, Candy (aka Kan-Dee) said…: My psoriasis did begin to go away, still there in many places although I was noticing a huge improvement every day. Then I opened my office and have been so busy that I really lapsed on my diet and have been eating like crap again. Not meat or anything, but not as much raw, and they got worse again. I've decided to work on detoxing myself again beginning next week and we'll so what happens from there. Sorry I don't have better news.

I smell it and it either makes me sick most times (except for curry I'll never get sick of that smell). now well I feel like chewing i crave lettuce and cayenne or avocado smoothies or coconut meat. Funny thing when i have it in front of me..i take a bite but I just can't go through with it. my mind is not willing to stop feasting. This is the coolest thing I have ever experienced!
