No sickness!

elizabethhelizabethh Raw Newbie

I just though I’d share something I think is rather remarkable,
My whole life I have NEVER gone through a winter without having at least 4 heavy colds and at least 1 flu episode accompanied by a high fever, days from school missed, etc. I clearly remember hearing the phrase “You’re ALWAYS sick” from many of my friends.
It is near the end of January, it has been winter where I am for just over three months, and I have not been sick ONCE. Not only that, my whole family unfortunately came down with a case of the flu sometime in October, and I was the only one who didn’t have a single symptom, despite being around their sneezing and so on all the time.
Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool. (Hope I didn’t just jinx myself!)

    Me either! Actually I havent had a cold for better than a year.Im in Idaho, where are you? Weve had 2 straight weeks of sub-zero temps here, its finally warming up here. I remember ALWAYS catching a cold in spring as the season changes, well see what happens this year,oh and I can breathe much clearer now, and I sleep better.

  • I’m afraid to jinx myself, but haven’t gotten sick either. And I have been working around many sick clients.

  • It’s amazing what the body can do when it’s in a state of perfect health!

    YAY RAWNESS!

    I realize this is a SUPER old thread, started by me, back in 08 when I was 100% raw vegan. Just as an update...for the entire time I remained raw vegan (just over a year) I got sick exactly once. it was a mild cold, not even in the winter, and in the first two months of going raw. having switched to cooked vegan since then, I have (as I was before going raw the first time) been sick 4 times this winter. It is only the beginning of december. I am back on about 100% raw for the past few days, and intend on seeing this through. it's pretty encouraging to read a testimonial from MYSELF that this works, what a blast from the past!

  • Well keep it up elizabeth;) As humans, I think we tend to ebb and flow from time to time. May your own tesitmonial be an encouragement as you dive back into this lifestyle~

  • I think the best analogy I've heard is this. Look at a forest. The badly nourished trees are covered with fungus, parasites and bacteria that rot them while they're still alive, whereas the healthy trees have none.
