About this website, me, and everything else in between
After so many of my friends and family members kept asking about everything I do, I decided to stop talking the same shit over and over and putting all in a place where they can look at it at any time.
Most of the content of this site is based on reading I’ve done over the years and what I’ve learned during that time. You can click on the “Books” tab to view what I’m using as reference from experienced people who have the “degrees” and “licenses” to tell you what to do. Nothing published in this site should be taken as advice but simple as a summary of what I’ve learned. As always, consult your doctor or homeopathic doctor before you do any changes.
About me
I considered myself fairly healthy before I became a vegan. However, I look back now and all those issues I had that I thought were “normal” were obviously caused by my unhealthy diet. Since I was a little girl I would get sick every time I ate eggs. I hated cow’s milk but loved cheese and yogurt. When I was about 20 years old, I started getting constant sinus headaches. It got so bad that I would go thru one box of sinus pills a week and was not helping. There was history of cancer, diabetes, hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and lactose intolerance issues in my family. With these in mind and my boyfriend’s mother dying of cancer at only 48 years of age, we decided to start looking at our health.
That year we both were at our highest weight. I was 185 lbs and he was 278 lbs. We took a nice vacation to North Carolina and ate all those “wonderful” animal based foods one last time and started our journey to get healthier.
We are vegans now. We didn’t do it from one day to another either. In 202, my boyfriend Denis and I started eliminating one thing at the time. We started with pork and red meat. I soon discover that my headaches were cause by dairy so I eliminated all dairy from my diet. We then came back from North Carolina and stop eating chicken and eggs next. Even though I was allergic to eggs, I used to have one egg a week. Fish and all other animal products followed even though it was hard to give up sushi!! After that, we were complete vegans! Not even honey! But still ate cooked food.
In November 2007, inspired by Kris Carr’s “Crazy Sexy Cancer” documentary, we started transitioning to raw food. We are now completely raw vegans.
The reason why I think it has worked for us is because we were doing a lot of research and keeping ourselves informed. In addition, we were able to get rid of anything that didn’t meet our requirements from our kitchen pantry and refrigerator. In my opinion (and it’s just my opinion)… if you don’t have the support at home to do it and to start one step at the time, it will be very hard. I’m not a strong believer of a strict diet or detoxing. What works for me is transitioning at a moderate speed that works for my body.
My first tip: start with simple things, such as getting rid of corn and corn syrup from your diet, hydrogenated foods, and eat organic. These are simple steps that will make a big difference. Read my blog for more tips to began the transition.
I hope you all enjoy the material and summaries posted here. Blessings in your journey!
