Fibromyalgia and Raw Food Research Study

Michael S. Donaldson, PhD

Donaldson and his staff conducted an intervention study looking at how the raw foods diet affected people with fibromyalgia, a nerve and muscle pain disorder.

Over a course of six weeks, 30 people were put on a program that included two to three glasses of carrot juice, barley greens, raw fruits and vegetables, flaxseed oil, and some cooked food at dinner (mostly whole grains).

At the end of the trial, two thirds showed remarkable improvement: two participants overcame their severe depression; one woman went back to work after being out on disability."Generally the raw food diet works because it is a synergy," says Donaldson.

"Vitamins, enzymes, a healthy bowel, balanced emotions, positive outlook -- all of these components come together in a living way. People overcome arthritis, allergies, cancer, you name it. I am still amazed by the testimonials that come back to us from people who have adopted a raw foods diet."

Lena - "My name is Lena Buhr and I've just turned raw...I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a possible melanoma a while ago, and since so many family members of mine, keep dying and get sick in cancers, arthritis and thyreone, I decided to do what many people don't thinkis possible; I became 100% raw.

No coffee or tea, or any cooked food whatsoever, no white bread or sprayedvegetables, nothing!! I only eat raw vegetables, berries, nuts, sprouted seeds and a lots of fruit everyday.

I didn't believe in this at first and it scared me a little bit but I thought I had nothing to lose. Today, I am almost free of my symptoms and becides I feel so much better! I only wish You would tell Mr. Fox about this... It would help him a great! So many people around the world who is know free and cured from even severe cancer, with only months left to live...

Please do some research on how food effects us, especially the kind of diet You eat in America--the Standard American Diet--SAD! It would save so many from fear and agony about diseases and pain! Yours Sincerely Lena Buhr."

The power of raw foods is not only one of the most well-known "rejuvenation" secrets of celebrities and Hollywood stars, it is also a concept that has the potential of giving you what you're looking for: incredible health, increased energy, and a youthful and slim body.

To Cook, Or Not

Going raw does has its drawbacks. One is that some people find this type of diet leaves them hungry for, well, something more, something warm. "In the winter months," says Havala, "calorie needs may be greater due to the cold, and low calorie, water-dense foods such as many fruits and vegetables might not provide enough calories for some people. In that case, greater reliance on starchier vegetables may help, but many of those are typically cooked, such as potato soup and vegetarian chili."

Of course, you don't have to go 100 percent raw to enjoy the bounties of the garden.
