Mad Issues being raw with parents... Any success stories?

My brother is 15 and is really really sick this week. He's had a migraine that's lasted a few days (I used to get them before going raw) and his lymph are all swollen. Ans now he's been eating about 50% raw. Which is huge considering before that he hadn't eaten a veggie in over 6 months!!

My dad is having such a hard time with him even eating veggies, let alone eating them raw! He's completely irrational, so there's no showing him info to prove that the veggies aren't going to "clog and get stuck in your colon". He even went and bought him a subway sandwich after my bro told him no three times. Can we say hard headed?

He's flipped out a couple times, which is silly because it's so much easier to buy and peel a cucumber than to buy frozen food and prep, fry or cook it and have scrubbing left to do.

So... if there's any teens that have had issues, no necessarily to give advice for my lil bro but maybe an encouraging story? He could really use some support other than his big sis and coming from another teen

Headaches can come from a number of things, even atmospheric pressure change. I think migranes are mostly related, but I don't know as much about them. I would recommend giving him some chamomile tea (preferably) or *mint tea. Chamomile tea works great for a number of things, and on a few occasions it has lessened my headache. <-- Just noticed that you posted 09-14, and the issue is probably dealt with :-P.

I guess I fall under the category of 'mostly raw teenager', being 15 :-).

Cheers,
Teran (sega01)

I'm a raw 17yr old and my parents think I'm crazy, but they somehow I think they still support me though I doubt they'll ever change.

Hi, everyone! This is a raw veggie site, is it not? I eat the primal diet (Aajonus Vonderplanitz), so I eat raw meat. I started when I was fifteen, and I'm nineteen now (twenty in September o.O). Anybody live in New Mexico?

And hey, what do you know? Another guy in the house?
