On April 14th, 2008, I embarked on a journey to change my life. At the time, I was very sick. I had a hard time making it through the day without spending most of my time in bed. Every joint in my body ached. My herniated disc was killing me. I was fat, fatigued, and FED UP! I had been to the doctor, and after running tests for Lupus, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc, etc, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and given a 90 count bottle of Vicodin to fill.
I got mad. I was really mad, and kept saying, “That’s it? Just take narcotics for the rest of my life? I’m only 38 years old! I shouldn’t feel this bad.” I came home, and immediately started researching natural treatment for Fibromyalgia. Some of the symptoms sounded like me, but I didn’t have the muscle pain. I wasn’t sure about the diagnosis. I didn’t fill the prescription.
As I kept reading and researching, I read a lot about diet, and how it can be a really important part of the treatment of autoimmune disorders. I read about people having success with a Raw and Living Foods diet. I was intrigued, and started watching YouTube videos about raw food. I saw a video with Matt Monarch from http://www.rawspirit.org, and decided to give the diet a try. That’s when the real journey began.
I challenged myself to eat Raw and Living Foods for 100 Days. And each day, I would post a video on YouTube, tracking my journey. Within 3 days of being on raw food, almost all of my symptoms had gone away. No more chronic heartburn. No more joint pain. No more back pain. I felt like a miracle had happened. I started telling everybody I knew about my miracle. And I invited anyone who wanted to join me on the first official RawFu 100 Day Challenge.
The Challenge Started on August 15, 2008, and over 1000 people had joined by opening day. It was so exciting! I wanted to build a community that wasn’t exclusive, so everyone was welcome. Whether you were committing to adding a Salad-A-Day like my friend, Ryan Ozawa, or were going for a full 100% raw commitment like the lovely Rebecca Jordan, all levels of raw food enthusiast were welcome!
Since August 15, 2008 our community has thrived. Hundreds of pounds have been lost. Lifelong friendships have been forged. We’ve had meetups, holiday parties, and focus on love and support towards all members. This community has been the real miracle in my life. I feel honored to be able to lead such a wonderful group of people. I love you, RawFu!
Now we are embarking on a new journey. Along with the online community of now almost 4000 members, you’ll get to take challenges led by people who have gone through amazing transformations. It’s such an exciting time. I hope you’ll come along for the ride!
