Great story. My health also improved when I started following an organic diet with more raw fruits and vegetables and when I started juicing more regularly.

Hi Veronica! I totally agree – sometimes the key is to eliminate everything that could be causing allergic reactions and inflammation.. and then go from there. It's definitely amazing what it did for Dawnmarie, and from my own experience as well.

I'm so happy to be able to share this information with the world. :)

Hi Dawnmarie and Nathalie.

Thank you so much for sharing this. So many people aren't aware how food intolerances are common and the cause of many many health problems, including skin disorders, digestive discomforts, respiratory illnesses, nervous central problems and even diabetes, high blood pressure and joint pain. Since a raw vegan diet exclude many of the common food allergens, it is often recommended by naturopaths to get rid of food related diseases. And it seems to have worked wonderfully for Dawnmarie!

Keep the great inspirational work!

Yes! I love Sarma and her books too! Her restaurant definitely opened my eyes to what is possible in terms of taste and beauty of food… I think a lot of us are indebted to the lovely Sarma. :)

Thanks again for sharing your story! :)

Oh, I must mention Sarma Melngailis, too. Who without her book, Raw Food Real World, I would not have survived. Her restaurants recipes are so palatable, you don't even realize you are eating raw foods.
