About me

Hi All just wanted to share a little about myself to you. Im a disabled firefighter and Emt. About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with RA rheumatoid arthritis and wasn’t able to do my job anymore. I got really depressed and just gave up more or less. I was in pain most of the time and just didn’t care about anything. I was taking a lot of medications for depression and for my RA. About three months ago I went to a new family doctor and he took me off all my meds for depression and told me to go get the book Eat to Live. He was really upset that no other doctor told me to lose weight. I have done a lot of research online and on you tube.com That’s where I found this website. I have lost weight so far and im feeling a lot better. Im so excited to have found this site. I just want to expand my knowledge about raw foods and meet new ppl that have the same lifestyle that I do.

Comment by Greenmama on May 5, 2012 at 5:39am: I started off on Eat to Live, too. It was the first book that showed me the importance of cutting out all animal products, not just meat. Unfortunately, I really harmed my digestive system following the suggestion to eat ground flax seed and massive quantities of cooked greens and beans. Luckily I found Doug Graham's site on VegSource and the rest is history. Welcome and looking forward to getting to know you more.

Have a look through our welcome wagon tour for lots of good info. You might also be interested in checking out Forks over Knives, in which you'll get introduced to Rip Esselstyn and his firefighter crew. :)
