RawandJuicy.com - Curing Disease Naturally With Raw Food

Meet Lisa OBorne

As a child, I spent numerous days in the hospital and stayed home from school each year, with asthma, allergies, and hay fever, just to mention a few. On an average year, I would miss 70 days of school. At age 12, a severe asthma attach put me in the hospital for over a week, most of which time was spent in an oxygen tent. During this time I turned blue many times due to a lack of oxygen. After leaving the hospital, I began changing my eating habits, no one told me to, but for some reason I did. I began a vegetarian. In my childhood years, cheese, eggs and fish with the only "meats" I ate. Sometimes I still needed my cheese, I admit I was addicted.

The change in diet helped and my health became to improve. I believed I was doing the best I could for my health.

At age 24, I was involved in a major car accident. With no feeling in my body from the neck down, the doctor informed me that I would be in wheelchair, probably for the rest of my life. After he left the room, something amazing happened, an electrical current came from within starting in my head and working its way down to my toes. I immediately sat up and walked out of the hospital. This was the turning point in my life. I knew that my body was capable of amazing things, although I did not know how or why. With new respect, I began to listen to my body's messages. About 6 months later, I met my future husband. Here was a man that always had animals, the furry kind and loved the outdoors. A few months later we got a dog, the first time I had ever owned a dog. I figured if I could walk out of the hospital, how much harm could a dog do.

Wanting to learn more about my body's functions, and sensing that I needed to trust more fully in its capacities, I began reading in the area of natural health. My curiosity only grew the more I learned. I am so excited.

Well after having the dog for about 6 months, he began to have seizures, the dog had epilepsy. We immediately put him on vegetarian dog food and he improved, no more seizures. After having Zak for a year, we both decided he needed a friend, so we got him a girlfriend, Keva. We just automatically started feeding her the vegetarian food, well she began having spells where she would stop breathing. Yes, we gave Keva mouth to mouth. We quickly found out she had allergies to all preservatives, and this was her reaction. Next step, feed them what we were eating, cooked vegan diet. Both dogs thrived well on this diet and were so excited every day about their dinners.

Over 2 years ago, after attempting to resolve some of my health problems, I went to a naturopath, who informed me that I had very weak kidneys and a borderline diabetic. I could not understand. I had changed my diet, and tried to live a simple life, what more could I do. I did notice that I did not have a lot of energy, and although I slept 9-10 hours a night, I still woke up tired. I decided I needed to take action.

December 1, 2000, I began a 30 day juice fast. It was not nearly as difficult as I had thought. Upon completion of the 30 days, my kidneys had rebuilt themselves and the signs of diabetes were gone, as well as 30 lbs. That was an added bonus. Then I was faced with the question of what to do next. During my studies, I had read a lot of books by Dr. Shelton, and I asked my body if the raw diet was for me. The response was a resounding "YES". I began eating very simply, one kind of food at each meal. Sometimes I will vary this to include a salad with tomatoes, cucumber and greens a couple times a week. I must admit I prefer only the fruit.

Well, I decided if I was going to eat this way so way everyone else. During this time, we got another dog, Smokey. He had lived on the streets for 4 months of his short 6 month life. He transitioned the easiest to raw, and will not eat anything cooked or processed even if offered. The average meal for the dogs is cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, green pepper, avocado, and some nuts. Snacks throughout the day include dried fruit, papaya is a favorite along with bananas. There is nothing funnier than watching the 3 of them snacking on papaya jerky. They just love it.

Zak has only had one seizure in the 8 years since he has been taken off dog food. Unfortunately, this was due to a neighbor spraying their lawn for bugs. Keva has not had another seizure. Smokey every now and then decides he needs some extra protein. It is not unusual for him to go in the backyard, catch a mouse, and eat it. Yes he is a dog, not a cat. They have never eaten raw eggs or raw meat and are extremely healthy. The muscle tone in these dogs is incredible and their coats shine.

As for me, my allergies and hay fever are gone as well as another 10 lbs, that is 40 lbs in total. I did not even know I was overweight. I still have occasional bouts with the asthma, but I know too that that will vanish in time.

As for the simpler life, we have also gotten rid of out about 75% of our furniture and material items. If we cannot make it ourselves, we do not get it. Not quite self-sufficient yet as we live in a small city outside of Toronto, Ontario. We do grow a lot of food indoors in the winter and have a large garden in the summer. How big is our yard, not that big, but then again we do not have any grass.

Enjoying the raw simple life. Lisa OBorne
