At 51 years old I found myself on medication for diabetes with no hope for a cure. A friend invited me to a seminar with a raw food dinner included. The speaker, Victoria Boutenko had been eating living foods for 8 years. She explained why raw food is so important for health.
Since going to her raw food seminar Monday, March 24th 2003, my health has drastically improved. When I heard her family’s story I knew this was the answer. I stopped my medication and started raw on Tuesday, March 25th 2003.
Here is a list of notable improvements after being raw for only 10 weeks:
- Normal blood sugar readings after 4 days - NO MORE DIABETES!
- Skin – began to “glow” and became softer, smoother, and moist
- Eyes – became clear and bright, eyesight improved
- Nails – smooth, longer, and stronger
- Teeth – no plaque build-up, whiter and feel cleaner
- Gums – no longer bleed when I brush my teeth
- Tongue – no white coated film
- Weight loss – 25 pounds
- Stomach – no longer bloated
- Lower back pain – gone
- Toenail fungus – gone
- Bowel movements – regular
- Hot flashes – gone
- Night sweats – gone
- Metal Clarity – thinking clearer
- Mood – happy
Now at 55, I feel better with more energy and an improved attitude. There have been so many benefits. I’m sure I will never know all the great changes that have taken place inside my body as well as the outside.
