Jan's Multiple Sclerosis Conquest
Hi!
My name is Jan, and I have multiple sclerosis. I was surfing the Internet looking for natural MS cures (because I could not afford medicine), and I found several testimonials from people who said their MS was cured by eating a raw vegan diet. They called it by different names, the Hallelujah diet, Genesis diet, Biblical diet, Paleolithic diet, Detox diet, etc., but the diet consists only of raw fruits and vegetables.
In 2005, I tried it for about 1 1/2 to 2 months. My MS seemed to improve, walking improved, but then I started eating breads and cooked foods, and my MS came back again with a vengeance.
Just after Christmas, I decided to try it again. At this point, I could not walk without a cane and a sturdy arm to hang onto. I had just gotten a wheelchair and spent most of my days sitting in it, shaking and crying.
I joined an online group called Raw Food Boot Camp (the members of which eat raw foods to lose weight). I needed to lose weight as well, and I remembered how my MS seemed to improve the last time I tried a raw vegan diet.
Well, it's been 4 1/2 months. My MS has not flared up since January. I stopped taking Neurontin and Vicodin; in fact, I stopped taking all my medications. My blood pressure and blood sugar have normalized. I can walk unassisted. I even walked in a ten kilometer fund-raiser for MS in April! And I finished it!
I need nothing for pain anymore. I sold my wheelchair last week. I have never felt better in my life, have energy, and I've lost 80 pounds.
When you cook food, you destroy all the enzymes and, in my opinion, most of the nutrients, leaving only calories. When you eat the foods raw, you get all the healing benefits of these enzymes and nutrients. It is a detox diet. It's not always easy to follow, though. I literally cried in the beginning because I wanted to eat bread and butter so bad. And my husband eats sandwiches and all the other food typical of SAD (the Standard American Diet). But at this point, I am walking, I am healthy, and you can't imagine how great I feel!
Give eating raw foods a try. We are the only creatures on this planet that incinerate our food before we eat it. I read somewhere that 92% of all human illness and maladies come from our diets. I have to believe that, considering how much the raw food diet has helped me.
