After the birth of
my son in 1984 I
steadily began to
gain weight, and
over the course of
the next 20 years I
went from a slim 110
pounds to my top
weight of 224
pounds. I
began to experience
increasing health
problems that made
it very apparent
that my health was
in a steady decline,
and that I needed to
take action.
During the summer
months in 2004
before I went 100%
raw, I was
experiencing the
following health
challenges.
BEFORE RAW
• Chronic
Sinusitis
• Recurring
Bronchitis
• Irregular
Heartbeat
• Elevated Heart
Rate
• High Blood
Pressure
• Hypoglycemia
• Edema
(especially in my
legs, feet, and
hands)
• Pain in my
Feet (so bad that
by evening I was
limping)
• Chronic, Ongoing
Fatigue
• Dry Skin
• Itchy Skin Rashes
• Foot and Toenail
Fungus
• Skin Tags and
Moles
• Gastric Distress
- Including
indigestion,
heartburn, sore
stomach, gas, and
bloating.
• Hormonal Issues -
Pain over my left
ovary, heavy
bleeding
(sometimes for 30
days at a time)
• Two large lumps
over my liver
(this really scared
me as liver cancer
runs in the family)
After 15
months raw, ALL of
these conditions had
disappeared!!
It is now February of
2008, and I am still
%100 raw and feeling
great!

Year 2008 Update:
On December 14, 2007
I embarked on a
92-Day Juice Feast,
consuming 4 to 5
fresh squeezed
quarts of greens,
vegetable, and fruit
juices daily, along
with cold pressed
oils, bee pollen,
and various other
superfoods. On
March 14, 2008 I completed
my 92 days of juice
feasting, and
continued on a
live/plant based raw
diet. I
continue to feel
absolutely
wonderful. I
look forward to
sharing more of my
story with you.
