I respectfully 100% disagree with you. I'm a raw vegan which means I only each raw fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds although I'm not big on the nuts and seeds. EVERYthing you need is in your food if you eat it when it hasn't been heated above 118 degrees.

I'll be there... if ya need me!

Not only have I recovered from diabetes and a very very sick liver, high blood pressure and horrid cholesterol but I've also released 140 pounds in 11 months. Yup you heard me right... that's simply because I'm giving my body all the nutrients it needs, feeding it really healthy live foods and the weight literally just melted off me.

I've been to my doctor who is very supportive of my lifestyle and he's thrilled with my blood results. He's told me that I'm no longer diabetic, my liver is above optimal (and it was the same as a 50-year-drinking liver - and I don't drink!), my cholesterol is perfect and my blood pressure is once again on the low side (always has been).

Consider live foods... even if you don't go 100% raw (which I recommend) - the more live food you put into your body the more nutrition your body has to work with. If nothing else... a green smoothie is essential for a healthy body. One or two (or more) a day... does wonders.

My hubby has never been able to control his diabetes. No matter what he ate, his sugars were high. He went on a 20 day green smoothie feast (nothing but green smoothies for 20 days) and his sugars came down and now are GREAT. Our doctor was so happy to hear he's decided to join me (he encouraged him to as a matter of fact)... as his blood work is so much better now.

So... just do it!
