Simple.
With the Lord as my Guide, following Dr. Douglas Graham's "The 80/10/10 Diet.
Whole, Fresh, Ripe, Raw, Organic, FRUITS & Veggies. All you can eat.
Hippocrates was right. "Let FOOD by thy medicine, & medicine thy FOOD."
Funny how doctors pledge the Hippocratic Oath & yet completely ignore his greatest teaching...
It all began October 15, 2008. I was PUT on this path. My "raw food" journey...because that's what it is. A transformational journey....a detoxing journey both physically & emotionally. Detoxing from bad habits. Addictions. Divorcing myself from the "norm" of my society, which leads to suffering & disease to marrying my new "norm", that OBVIOUSLY brings happiness & health. Period.
I have "known" all along that this was my purpose. That I would help the countless people who suffer this debilitating, humiliating, excruciating disease.
As you know I have a habit of comparing EVERYTHING to the Gospel. To the principles
& laws of God. To me eating a vegan, plant based diet is God's ORIGINAL plan. The diet He designed to be perfect for Man. We have adulterated, corrupted, destroyed, & poisoned His foods. We have become gluttonous flesh, processed food eaters & are paying the price & the most precious cost... our health. That's a VERY high price to pay. I no longer wish to be a part of it.
When you live the principles & laws of the Gospel you reap the rewards. You are happy. You are blessed. When you live the principles of Health. You reap the rewards. You are happy. You are blessed. You are healthy. It's really quite plain & simple.
When you do these things plentifully: eat whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic fruits & veggies, exercise, rest, sleep, breathe fresh air, drink pure water, think happy thoughts, love abundantly, serve, pray, fast, worship, faith & a relationship with God. You heal. Your body heals. IT DOES BECAUSE....
I KNOW! I DID IT!! WE did it!! The Lord showed me the way... I followed and now.....It's GONE!!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))
It has taken me almost 4 YEARS of on again, off again eating raw vegan, vegan, then low fat raw vegan. I didn't do it PERFECTLY the whole time, although I'm sure it would have healed faster if I had......but STILL, it HEALED. Even as imperfectly as I did it. It takes time to change.....
80/10/10 did the trick. I read the book in August of 2011 and have been on again off again until 26 days ago. I've been 100% now and 26 days ago the LS was getting better & now it's GONE!!
80/10/10 did it. I'm just so amazed at how incredible eating this way is & makes me feel!
My husband & I could be finally completely intimate again after over 3 years of it being too painful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can I express my JOY over this sufficiently for you to understand the JOY this gives me???
The emotional as well as the physical...how I felt less than a woman...how I felt punished...how I felt cursed...how I wanted to please my husband completely & I couldn't....and then the physical pain..it's inexpressible....
If you are suffering from LS you KNOW....if not...just imagine....it's HORRIBLE..
I am here to tell you that if I could do it..... YOU CAN TOO!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
Food is POWERFUL! It IS medicine, or poison.. It BECOMES us! It literally IS this body of ours coupled with our awesome spirits. Feed it properly & it will function properly and it WILL help to heal you!!
The magic is in the food.
God bless you!!!
RMM
That is sooo cool!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on for a long time, as I have struggled with food and family issues myself, but I want you to know that I am so happy that your symptoms have vanished and the Lord has cured you. I too am finding that I feel better with a more raw diet. I look forward to hearing about your progress and I will pray that you will remain safe and sound on your body. God Bless!

Thank you!!! I'm doing great!!! I am so thankful that it's gone!!
DeleteI also have LS. Tried many things, but now I am going to try a raw diet. Inspired by your success. Are you still LS free with no symptoms or problems?
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!!! YES!!!!! I am still LS free!!! And so very very grateful!! I know your suffering and I also know that you will heal on this diet!! Read 80/10/10. Live it as faithfully as you can. And in the time it will take you WILL heal! May the Lord bless you! He has in find this blog...keep me posted ok? You will do it!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you are still OK! I know you mentioned that intimacy with your husband was impossible, also has been for me for a few years. I will get the book -- if I can be back to normal again, I would be sooooo grateful --- it drives me crazy! I will check in every so often to see how you are doing. Do you eat the 80/10/10 all the time? I need to definitely clean up my diet and get rid of the processed sugar and foods, which I feel could be the cause. I will commit to changing my bad diet, and will keep in touch ---- thank you !!!
ReplyDeleteI am not always "raw" but I make sure to keep it low fat, no salt & absolutely vegan. Fat is the main culprit for AI diseases.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to go raw, but the cookbooks/blogs are all so overwhelming. Can your recommend a blog or book that can walk me through simple, recognizable meals for now? I puked up the tempeh and got a migraine after trying seitan, so I just need some quick and simple ideas for replacing my daily turkey sandwich with---I don't even know what with!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
Tempeh & seitan!? Blech!!! Get yourself The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham @ http://foodnsport.com/shop.php. Read his site. Really research www.30bananasaday.com and don't let the name of the site scare ya!
ReplyDeleteI too have LS and have been a lowfat vegan for some time now.
ReplyDeleteI have read a lot about the possible connection between LS and the oxalate content of food...did you try to eliminate oxalates at all or did you just each whichever fruits and veggies you wanted?
It sounds like the healing happened as a result of the 80/10/10...has the LS stayed away even when introducing back grains and legumes?
FitQuestMom, No I didn't focus on oxalates at all. No the LS hasn't returned with grains and beans. Read 80/10/10. It will help you so much.
ReplyDeletehello i also have LS and I have been doing 80/10/10 for one month and Juicing greens along with it every day. One thing that I am not doing is having fruit that is organic. However I only been eating fruits with skins such as watermelon, bananas, papaya, etc. Wanted to know if the fruits you were consuming were always organic. Can't necessarily afford the organic but if that is the case I am willing to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteNo you don't have to always eat organic. Thick unedible skin fruits don't have to be organic. But I would make sure to eat organic greens & edible skins like berries & apples etc. I also wasn't 100% raw but followed the 80/10/10 rules keeping it as low fat as possible. Good for you!! You will heal from this dreadful disease! I promise!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I recently found out I have LS. May I ask you how old you are? The younger you are, the easier you can heal... I am 45 and they say it is not possible to heal. Please, be right about following this diet and heal, also at my age. I would be as happy and thankful as you are.
ReplyDeleteHi Johanna! Don't listen to them! I healed and I was 43! So...trust in the diet and especially in The Lord who guided you to this information. You CAN & WILL heal as long as you follow this healthy lifestyle. Keep the fat low and the oils OUT. Eat at least 75% whole, fresh, ripe, raw, in season & organic fruits & veggies. 100% vegan & read The 80/10/10 Diet! I'm 17 months CURED and so happy! Let me know when your cured too ok! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks beautiful woman. I ordered the book, made a green smoothie just now (which I do almost every morning) as big as never before. I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteYou're Very welcome!! Way to be!!! Go girl!!!!! :)
DeleteI did not recieve the book yet, but made a start already. I am sooo cold, only eating cold food (wintertime here). And sooo hungry. I am not allowed loosing weight, I am too light already! Hopefully I will manage with a raw breakfast and a raw lunch, but a normal healthy diner.
ReplyDeleteOk. It's VERY important that you eat enough calories. Get the free app Cronometer and keep track of your food intake and calories etc. You MUST eat enough. Eat steamed veggies, sweet potatoes & regular potatoes, brown rice, quinoa etc. with herbs for seasoning. Just NO fat! I know that keeping my fat LOW was key to healing. I have struggled with staying 100% raw, especially in the cold. So I keep my diet low fat. NO OILS EVER. But I do eat a cooked 100% VEGAN for an early dinner making sure its as organic as possible, whole grain, sprouted bread, soups, beans, etc. You can do this!! :))
DeleteHi there, I am eating so carefully healthy, raw, vegan, tasteful... and the symtoms are getting worse lately. It is making me so insecure. I wanted you to know. Maybe you recognize this, maybe not. At the end of this week I will see my doctor again and will tell her of course.
ReplyDeleteIt is NORMAL to get WORSE before you get BETTER! DO NOT GIVE UP!!
DeleteMaybe I speak too soon, but it looks like it is healing...suddenly, after a few weeks dieet. My doctor told me to eat fish though. I need some fat, because I lost too much weight. My secret: no dairy, no grains (I bake my bread with buckwheat and quinoa), no eggs, no soja, no sugar, lots of fruit and vegetable, as much as organic food as possible.
ReplyDeleteYour conventional doctor would tell you that...Do not eat fish! They are high in fat & filled with mercury & other contaminants. There is fat in fruits & vegetables, nuts & seeds. If you are eating enough you will not need to add anything to your diet. Have you read The 80/10/10 Diet yet? He is my doctor ;)
ReplyDeleteI am doing the best that I can, believe me. I am healing, it is a miracle! But I have lost so much weight too. I am healing AND eating (biological) fish once or twice a week since one month or so. It looks like I have to 'sin' according to the book. Maybe we all need something else. For example: I am looking for answers on a deeper level too. What is it, that LS want to tell me? And I have found some meaningful answers already. Food, believe, trust, faith...
ReplyDeleteYup. It is a great teacher. Trust was a big issue for me as well. And remember I healed and I didn't do it perfectly by the book either. Are you making sure to eat enough calories??? It is normal to lose all of the sick fat. Where the toxins are stored. I'm so glad to hear that you're healing! I knew it would happen! :)
ReplyDeleteI never had too much fat. Never. And I always have been too light. Right now I need 8 kilo more at least. Since I eat sweet patatoes, fish and quinoa (which is hardly to get nowadays) I don not loose more weight fortunatly. I takes time. With the calorie-app I have found out that I really get enough each day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking. Thanks for being you and helping me. :-)
I have lichen sclerosis and am excited that it can be cured! Going through a nasty flare up at the moment, I'm going to start raw food and see how I go! Thanks for sharing, gives me hope x
ReplyDeleteCurious! Raw Mommy are you still blogging & cured from LS?
