Raw Food Journal: Workaholic vs. Priorities 19 y
What is really important in life? Sometimes illness sets your priorities straight.
In April I was told I had auto-immune liver disease but wasn’t shocked because I had heard the same words seven years ago when I first was seen by a doctor. A second opinion came to the conclusion (wrong)that I had a lupus flare. Then at that time (1997)I was diagnosed not with liver disease but with Lupus in general. The last 7 years I have fought night sweats, extreme fatique, fevers and joint pain.

Fighting Liver Disease with Raw Diet
I was diagnosed with liver disease back in March. I was down with the same symptoms seven years ago but was told it was lupus. But then I fell ill-really ill in March. It started with swollen glands, an incredibly infected throat and a bladder infection. Of course I ignored all the signs--our body does tell us things if we would actually LISTEN! I thought I was just sick--but then I couldn’t stand up and I had incredible fevers, night sweats ect. Went to the emergency room and wound up in the hospital for a week and then bed rest and misery for the next four weeks. Not only did I hav ... read more |
