We are extremely honored and excited to present this testimony. When I requested people submit their stories I never expected such an amazing heart felt and personal response. For me the below story is incredible; I never really understood that, as well as the many physical improvements, raw food can reverse abusive and negative mental patterns. I recommend you take the time to read this amazing story; it’s extremely moving and clearly demonstrates the benefits of the raw food diet.

It would have never occurred to me to share my life story with anyone. Until recently, I was doing my best to conceal as much of it as possible, never thinking once that someone out there might find it a source of inspiration and strength. The raw food experience changed all that, not only from a purely physical point of view – I did experience tremendous changes in a surprisingly short amount of time – but also from a mental one as well.
I am a survivor of violent childhood abuse. I have repeatedly been scarred both physically and mentally over a long period of time. As a result, I have to function with PTSD and other mental disorders, which manifest themselves on a daily basis. My nights are often worse than my days, with recurring night terrors, nightmares and the sleeplessness that ensues. Phantom and real pains have plagued my body every single day of my existence: I am still trying to come to terms with broken bones that never healed properly. Medications were the very inadequate, but unfortunately the best available help I was given to cope with my hellish life.
There’s more, but I’ll stop here. I think the picture is clear enough.
Last February, I was diagnosed with diabetes. This was the end of the road for me: to add one more catastrophic, painful disease to my long list of ailments was not an option. I gave myself an ultimatum to either change life paths completely or bring my miserable existence to an end. I did not want to be subjected to any more pain, whether physical or psychological.
