Benefits of Raw Food Detox

I live in Australia and I'd like to share with you the difference it made to my life.

Needless to say, the medical profession has let me down greatly. After extensive examinations, MRI and CT scans, visits to ENT specialists and even a Neurologist. I was told nothing can be done about my condition and I would have to be fitted with a hearing aide and just live with the fact that my hearing loss would not get better and put up with the tinnitus for the rest of my life.

Well, I may be getting old (I'm 55 now in a few months I will be 56) and I don't feel this old and I'm certainly not ready to be fitted with a hearing aide yet. To cut along story short I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I started your raw food diet plan, went on a detox for 4 weeks, and added certain vitamins and minerals to my daily dietary intake and WOW! The results are amazing.

Exactly one year ago, in October, my husband and I went to Japan for 3 week holiday and I weighed 172 pounds.
After I take raw food detox diet,I cannot express in words how much different I feel! The difference in my health and sense of well being is like night and day. There is this “new person” awakening, or maybe I should say the “real” person is rising out of a long convalescence. I did not set out to lose weight per-se either, I was comfortable in my own skin. I just knew that I had to get my blood pressure down and that I wanted to do it without medication.

Gaining weight is this self-perpetuating cycle. You slow down, the food you eat adds pounds which in turn slows you down more and you gain more weight. It goes on and on. The neat thing is that the reverse is true too! You eat wisely, you lose weight. Loosing weight makes you feel good, you move more. The increased motion causes you to lose more weight still. You feel better and keep eating well, because it makes you feel so good… and on and on.


I have been Focusing more on weight lifting to add muscle to my frame and have been hovering at right around 170lbs. I feel fantastic and finally got myself a new doctor. My last doctor retired, I was so disappointed because I wanted to show her what I had been able to accomplish on the raw diet!

Anyway, the office visit showed my BP at 120/80 and I think they said 67 BPM. I got my blood work done and am a little low on vitamin D so my new doctor recommended I take 2000 iu of D3 supplement daily. My B levels are fine though which is good. But what I was really happy about is that my cholesterol, which had been around 230-240, is now 155. My HDL is 47 and LDL is 94 which means my ratios are very good:

LDL/HDL = 2 ( desire 3.3 – 4.4 or lower)

HDL/LDL = 0.5 (desire 0.22 – 0.3 or higher)

Also, my triglycerides which had been borderline high, to high, even when my cholesterol was not over 200, are now 69 (desire under 150)

The raw food diet believe it has numerous health benefits, 1.Increased energy, 2.Improved skin appearance,3.Better digestion, 4.Weight loss, 5.Reduced risk of heart disease

My health is gradually improving and after months of being unable to focus I am finally back to writing my book and making some genuine progress in this task. I feel like my life is moving forward again and I am optimistic about the future.

Because the detox was part of a larger commitment I made to truly commit to my health this year, I am aware of the need to remain vigilant once it draws to a close. This is probably going to be quite challenging with traveling and adjusting to being in two new countries over the next two months.

I believe that I can create more happiness, energy and enjoyment out of life but I also recognize that it is not going to happen unless I put in the work. At times it can be frustrating to have to go the extra mile to get the same results as others. However, I also see my circumstances as a gift because they have allowed me to explore aspects of healing and to get to know myself on a level that would not have been possible otherwise.

When our bodies are healthy and our energy is balanced, this is when we can really enjoy life. Nothing is more important than this.
