I have come to realise on my raw journey that health is one thing that I really do have control of. Hmmm I am thinking I can now apply this attitude to other aspects of my life that can help me obtain financial freedom and a loving husband! Let me explain. When I first heard about the raw diet, I thought how crazy it was and dismissed it. It wasn’t until 2 years later when Matthew was at his worst and I was waking everyday feeling like I had fought world war 3 that I came to decide that I would give it a go. The results were instant, it was marvelous, I had so much more energy, I awoke feeling refreshed on less sleep and things in general seemed so easy to achieve. If health was as easy as changing from cooked to raw then that was it, for me it was a done deal. I certainly had the motivation and more than anything I wanted Matthew to get better. For me the results were immediate and my mind was at rest, I now knew that disease was not a mystery, what an exciting concept! That something I had done since that fateful first mouthful of cooked mush had conditioned me into a way of life that I had no conception of thinking it was doing me harm. I had not even thought about it. I used to think vegetarians (gosh I can only dream of how I would have thought about a raw fooder!) were quirky misfits and that were only going veg for attention and to be pains to the rest of society. Anyway back to the story, Matthew took a lot longer to heal his symptoms and it is certainly not an overnight cure. His entire body broke out in a rash for 6 weeks. The detox that he went through was huge, but that is what happens when you leave things to the very last to do something about it. Putting your health on the back burner only leads to one thing and that is pain and suffering in the long term. If someone tells you that you can not heal your disease then I would wish them a wonderful life and move on. I do not recommend anyone to leave it as long as Matthew did. It is hard though as the mind plays such strong tricks of deception caused by our programming and strong egos. I am no expert on life, but I do know that by applying common sense principals then change is possible. Step by step I move forward, knowing I have the strength to make things better despite feeling at ends at times in other areas of my life. I believe as a society we are currently remembering our true nature and that is from the highest of highs, a place that once we remember our true memory then we will live in a world of order again. Where everyone is looked after and we function as a unit, not as separated fragments. But then again, maybe it is the problems that we face that help us to stay true to our own independence. Only time will tell as more and more truths are revealed and it is up to us to let go of our ego’s and accept and embrace change, despite the challenges that leads us to face.
Blessings to you.
