Nuts New and excited!

Hi!
I'm so excited about this.
I found out about this because I was having lots of health problems, I've already had a massive heart attack that I shouldn't have lived through, a stroke, and just recently found that I've had type 2 diabetes for who knows how long.
I knew I had the diabetes before seeing the dr because I bought a monitor and was checking my sugars.. so because I didn't want to go to the dr I started looking into ways reduce my sugar on my own, that's how I found raw foodism.
I started out about 50% of my diet being raw.. until last week when I got my juicer! I LOVE my juicer! Now I'm 100% raw.
So I've been doing this for two weeks and I can tell a HUGE difference. I feel better than I have in years (some of that could be the meds too), but even after I started the meds I feel better since I started eating like this. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better.. I'm just amazed that this makes you feel so much better! And it's yummy on top of it all!
My blood sugars have went down with this (even after the meds started) and I can't wait till they are in a normal range
I told my dr I was doing this and she was so excited also. She told me that normally she has to argue with people with diabetes to eat right and she's encouraging me to keep doing this. I told her I wanted to see the nutritionist to get the chart on how many of what I can eat a day and she told me I don't need to see them as long as I'm eating raw like this. She also told me something that blew my mind-
She told me that regardless of what the medical community says, that type 2 diabetes can be cured with raw foodism. So I'm looking forward to the day I don't have to take meds anymore

Hello fellow new raw enthusiast! Isn't this fantastic? Don't you feel blessed to have discovered raw foods? I don't even have a juicer yet, much less a dehydrator, so you are already a step ahead of me. I hope you keep posting here as your journey progresses. Way to go!

Brian
