In October 2008 I came to a fork in the road of my life. I had been going physically and mentally downhill for years. My Doctor wanted me to go onto satins; I had a cholesterol reading of 8.1. My weight had crept up 98kg (215.6lbs) my BMI to 29.3; my blood sugar was at 6.1 and climbing, I suffered from perennial rhinitis and had major acid problems. I decided to change my life. I went RAW.After18 months of following a raw vegan diet my cholesterol was a 3.7, my blood sugar at 4.1, my weight down to 75kg (165lbs), my BMI was at 22.4, I had no acid problems and no more rhinitis. I had let food be my medicine. My mind has opened up to so many new things and I have boundless energy. The great thing is that I have enjoyed the journey. I did not deny or starve myself. I have eaten the most scrumptious meals, unforgettable desserts, raw chocolates with soft delectable fillings. I can go on and on. Going raw saved my life… and it can save yours as well
