No more Colds

One of the things I noticed on going raw was that my days of suffering from colds was over.

I wrote up an article about it here: [www.raw-food-health.net]

Do you guys experience the same thing?

Absolutely! I haven't had a cold in the entire 2.5 years that I've been raw, and they used to be at least a yearly occurrence for me. Not to mention my annual bout of strep throat followed by tonsilitis and larangitis! I used to be out of it for a good month every winter!

Yes.. I believe that sickness only strikes a body in a weakened state, when its immune system isn't functioning properly or the accumulated toxins impair its metabolic processes. The raw diet seems to go a long way to removing the strains on these things.

Yup. Two years no colds. The winter before I went raw I had five! It's so crazy that people think that having colds is normal.

I haven't had any colds since I started mostly raw, 18 months ago. I do sometimes still get a runny nose when I'm in a cold place, or sneeze if there's something in the air. That's about it.

Hm, with me it's actually been more the other way around. I had two very big colds within the first four months of going vegan/raw(er), and have been having a sort of on-off sore throat over the last two months.
