After struggling with chronic fatigue for years, which slowed my metabolism, I gained more weight than ever before. I got most of my health back on a diet that averaged about 80% raw foods, with lots of cleansing and detoxifying. But after four years eating mostly raw, I still had a long way to go.

I finally woke up one day and realized that it was time to go 100% raw – it was like stepping out of a fat suit into my real body. The fat was disappearing, almost magically, virtually overnight. I didnt even exercise (though I do now).

Of course, years of cleansing, detoxifying and rebuilding my digestive and immune systems prepared my body for losing a lot of weight and – even more importantly – keeping it off In fact, I was dropping weight so fast I had to eat lots of nuts, olives and avocados to slow it down. Over the next few months I lost 75 lbs. I kept that weight off for almost two years. Since then, it has been an ongoing struggle – yes, even for me.

Though I have kept most of it off on a mostly raw diet (90-100% raw), I have a tendency to occasionally fall off the wagon – like most normal people! So last year, after gaining back about 50 lbs., I went did a 3-week cleanse and a strict raw diet, and lost about 35 lbs. in about two months. Of course results vary from person to person, and may change with what’s going on in your life – like they did for me.

This isn’t magic – it’s enzymes! My metabolism slows down when I make less-than-optimal food choices, then kicks back in when I go back to what I know is right. I think it’s perfectly normal to slip occasionally, so long as I get back on track eventually. Raw food works for me, and I decided to make it my lifes mission to help it work for you, too!

Raw veganism isn’t for everyone. I work with a very advanced technology called EPFX Quantum Biofeedback- One of its many, many features is detecting nutritional deficiencies, and I’ve noticed that many of the raw vegans I work with are somewhat deficient in vitamin d and b12. I have worked with raw vegans who are radiantly healthy with, what appears to be no deficiencies, but this is because they supplement with b & d vitamins and get enough sun. I’m really not trying to bash raw veganism; I simply care enough about people to speak my truth on this subject. I encourage you to become clear about your health before making drastic changes to your diet. I feel that getting blood work done before transitioning to a raw diet is a good idea, and getting blood work done after about 6 months on this diet is also a good idea so you can see where you’re at & whether or not you need to make any changes. If the idea of getting blood work makes you cringe, you can take a more non-invasive route. You can look into having an EPFX Quantum Biofeedback session which will unveil numberous insights into your health. This is actually one of the services I offer- www.leijaturunen.com. Anyway, I personally feel that raw veganism can be amazing short-term, to detoxify, gain more mental clarity, more spiritual connection, lose weight, develop that “glowy” complexion… BUT it doesn’t always work long-term- For some people it does, but not everyone, that’s for sure! Check out the work of Daniel Vitalis, Weston Price & Anthony Anderson (rawmodel) if you’re interested in raw food, but not completely sure raw VEGANISM is for you. Perhaps including some organic, raw grass fed dairy or organ meats into your diet is beneficial for you. Who knows? Everyone is completely unique and I encourage you to do your research and consume the foods that FEEL right for YOU! These 3 guys provide some pretty interesting and valuable info on this topic.

In terms of silica and magnesium, well we know we can get a lot of magnesium from nuts, and especially three nuts: macadamia nuts, cashew, and cacao. And thats one of the reasons why people really have that craving for those three.

Another reason is that we have not enough green leafy-vegetables in the diet, and thats another source of magnesium, and thats also another great source of silica and calcium. But the best source of silica is usually something that we dont have in health food stores, such as nettles, or something like horsetail, or something like hemp leaf.

We have to really look at all these factors.

In a more general way, how would that be that some people set themselves up for these problems, maybe on a more psychological level?

I think what happens is that people take their emotional stuff into whatever diet theyre doing. For example, people who had been abusing refined sugar on a normal diet will start eating massive amounts of dates or sweet fruit on a raw-food diet.

So whatever predisposition of abuse in relation to food that people have, generally they take it with them in whatever diet they try. With raw foods, you have to be a little bit more careful because this food has real energy. Its really powerful and also very cleansing. To eat 50 dates is very different than eating refined sugar.

Refined sugar is more of a toxin, but dates can be a cleanser. The fruit sugar can act like a solvent and start breaking down toxic deposits. Eating too much sweet fruit and too much sugar, which is a very strong solvent, may be a cause of bone loss and tooth decay.
