Juicing The Raw Vegan Beast - A Samoan Story
Talofa,
I was born with an aortic dissection in my heart (apparently it was caused when my mum must have contracted rheumatic fever whilst carrying me - quite common in the Pacific - see also aortic murmurs, heart murmurs and other similar conditions). Steroid injections - check. Motherhood - check. I found a documentary called "Fat Sick and Nearly De
ad". It kinda described what my state of mind was so I downloaded it and watched it. 4 times. And countless times over certain parts. And I cried like a baby. It was the first pictorial depiction of the relationship that food has with our bodies that truly hit home to me. And I was raring to get into it, so off I went to see Dr Summers for some blood tests and oh my!!!, that first day, I had the migraine to end all migraines. Day 1 mission to survive. Day 2 ditto. Day 3 mission to avoid the embarrassing comments and stares of family, co-workers and friends, the shame of it all. Day 4 "are you freaking kidding me? 4 days without solid food?"
My family and friends are jumping on board, feet first, no care, no calculations, no worries. Maybe there is some merit to this juicing and going raw.....and that is my journey here! Heart medication? So come with me on my journey, I am honoured to share some of the things I know worked for me with you. If they work for you, great, if not don't be scared to try something else. Meanwhile, whatever you're doing, if its healthy, keep doing it. If its not really, try and change, and don't be afraid. Bless, love and light
