Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 That's a great story! Very amusing 3 weeks ago I had a snowboarding accident...I was coming off a nar-wicked jump in some off-piste area, and there was a single tree which I didn't see on the way up, so then coming down I was a little off balance and boom, couldn't miss the tree. I must have hit it about 30-40 kph, my pelvis taking the impact from the left side. I was lucky I was able to make it mostly a glancing blow, so I bounced off instead of coming to a dead stop, which likely would have broke both my back and pelvis. Anyway, once I got home and back onto raw food, my daily improvement was phenomenal! Some days though I didn't eat well...like KD and tuna (yuck!)... and the mornings after that there would little improvement compared to the day before. Then, going back to raw, the next morning I would have substantially increased mobility and feel less pain, etc. Its been 3 weeks now and I can walk without limping and almost ready to run again, and I can easily use my rebounder for exercise too! My chiropractor is very impressed with my recovery time too! It was also very interesting watching how my body reacted to the injury. On the day of and day after the accident I lost about 10 pounds, even though I was still eating. They say that that's because the body quickly draws on stored resources to heal a traumatic injury like that...and since most of my stored resources are highly alkaline and come from great dietary sources, I guess that helped my recovery that much more. I've heard stories of mountain climbers breaking a leg or something, and losing HALF! their body weight in just a few days hiking themselves out. Overall its been a great experience for me haha Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
