Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Kim, Interesting point about B12. On a raw food diet you need to be weary because a long term B deficiency can do a lot of damage. I have read several postings here about the low probability of getting a B12 deficiency but I have had it and so too, I have read, has David Wolfe. In my case I developed high levels of homocystine for which the treatment was a B12 supplement. That and a vitamin D deficiency is common. Otherwise if you stay raw, keeping fat intake well down, your health should go through a positive transformation the like of which you will not believe until you live through it. I do not know anything about Grave's disease but here is an article that may interest you:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2386305.stm Peter I'm new to rawfood and just about to get started..a friend loaned me there Omega 8002 while I decide what I want to get.. is it easy to use?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 How fortunate you are to find a raw food site (meeting support) just at the beginning of being raw. I've been trying to eat raw since the early 90's but never thought to check a website about it until last year and didn't bother to utilize it much until this year. Of course, I've only been utilizing the internet for forums, e-mail, etc. since early 2002. I imagine the weight comes off pretty quick. I don't eat raw for the need to lose weight but I do slim down quite a bit, quickly, of course.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I was really bad too... i was hospitalized because i had severe thyroid storms which is rare and my heart rate was constantly at 140 even when sleeping... and when i exercised or exerted it got higher... it was really difficult... and not good..i would drop and faint and all that in front of my daughter which was hard on her but she did learn to dial 911..which is good... my thyroid was killed in aug of 2003 and i do feel much better now actually ...ive just started increasing my raw intake and notice afternoon naps arent needed... and i dont crave pop (soda) or anything which is nice... and i dont get as hungry as much... Radioactive iodine was my only option and being soo young with this i turned into a case study up here for my endo..lol... it was funny... i used to get my blood taken every week.. now im down to every month.. =) tricia rawfood , palomino03@a... wrote: > How are you doing now?
