This is my 97th day all on raw foods, and I had a  most ‘heightened’ experience. My state of bodily health has been broken for the last 4 years, since an auto collision broke 2-3 bones in my neck, ruptured a disc, and created much havoc around it all. Unable to properly recover, I went into having kidney stone attacks every 3 weeks for several months, which wasted me away to the weight I had in my early high school years. I’ve been ‘in recovery’ all that time, being unable to reestablish energy for common tasks. Every effort to use muscular strength was painful to the very core. Even so much as to use a can opener. Around home was ok, as I could quit and start any tasks as required; but I couldn’t maintain a high enough energy level, or muscular strength to resume working for wages. I grew slowly, but steadily better, over the last 2 years since the kidney stone attacks ceased, until a few months ago I began to use the trampoline as a basis for restoring muscular strength and energy, and it was successful enough to get to work 3 hours a day 2-3 days a week. And that was wonderful, coming from when after the wreck,  just being so grateful I wasn’t a quadriplegic (it was really close), that anything was a cause for rejoicing. Today, for the first time since before March 6, 2004, I worked a straight 5 hours, at full speed, with no breaks or breathers, and not a pain anywhere in my body! Praise God for the power of healing!! And when I quit work, I easily could have gone on another hour without a break and still been feeling fine. And that was with doing some tasks I have been unable to do pain free  since that wreck. Still full of energy now, at 9pm. Another major change in the recipe was stepping up the intake of greens to a level higher than I’ve ever eaten in my life. I think I can safely say more greens than I’ve eaten in any whole one year period of my life, maybe not counting lettuce. Using them in fruit smoothies (VitaMix a must) each morning for breakfast, made it possible to use quite large quantities  otherwise unfeasible. I’ve felt progressively better week by week, knowing more deeply that I could never live without such a level of greens in my diet again. I’ve done raw diets before, and they were always great, but there was definitely something more needed. I knew I needed those greens, but to chew that much is not possible. May the world (I pray) come alive to the awareness of the great blessing to be found in a high fresh greens diet. Don’t think you’ll find a comparable product in anyones bottle or box. Though they can do wonders (the real things) for those who simply have no access to live greens, they’re no replacement if the fresh product can be attained. Good day, and good night.  God bless the heart of every eye that may chance upon this  weblog.
