raw food

Heard so much positive of raw food. Just very curious about how many are actually doing it as OVCA patients, what is your  results and your suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jun,
    I was doing  a form of the raw diet this past summer, lots of raw fruits and veggies, but also added chicken for the protein. Personally I loved it, but was not able to stay with it as I suffer blockage severely, and found I could not tolerate the diet anymore. I miss the salads, yes it is alot of chopping and dicing but dang it tasted good. I even went to making my own salad dressings to eliminate preservatives. (the idea being, balance your raw veggies, with fruits, and nuts) I think whatever we do to make ourselves feel better, it is worth a try. I do not believe it will cure cancer, but it can't hurt. I know it helped my friend with cholesteral, as well as high blood pressure.
Good luck

I have a friend who ate raw for a while.  She felt really good on it but it is a huge amount of work to prepare.  And yes, getting enough protein can be a challenge.

Thank you for you reply.  I don't think I explain raw food very well.  There is almost no meet included in the diet, but fish.  No rice , no bread.  Lots of nuts, lot of fresh vegs and fruits.  I just thought there is not enough protein for a person.  I have a couple of people telling me about this in our cancer community.

Take care.

I will eat raw vegetables on a regular basis.  As far as meats, eggs, etc...I would not take the risk of getting sick from eating these foods uncooked. I've never heard doing so would benefit OVCA patients.
