Oh, for sure! That would be great!
I work the 9-5 in the Fort Meade area, and I live in Glen Burnie. But, I know that area somewhat. :-)
Crohn's disease runs in my family and I surely would have suffered long into old age had I continued on the eating lifestyle I was on. In my 20's I had a stomach ulcers, hiatal hernia and gall stones. I was in pain constantly. On and off for years I suffered. I discovered the HealthMaster blender in the early 2000's and started making green smoothies. That was the beginning of my journey to better health. I had no idea what I was doing was "eating raw". I eventually quit milk when I learned about it's side effects. That was 4 years ago, then 1 1/2 years ago I quit eating meat. And then my relationship with dairy altogether ended last January! I finally read 80/10/10 and was so affected that I cried tears out of shock - the animal cruelty side of things. Since then I have quietly advocated for the animals. I have never looked back and know that what I am doing overall is good for me, mentally and physically. I am 44 now, and feel like I am getting healthier every day.
My community of vegan friends is pretty much ZERO! Just last week I joined the NO MEAT athlete Facebook group out of Baltimore, and they do fun runs and get-togethers. I'd love to find a primary care doctor that supports veganism.
That is my story. Is there a vegan community I don't know about around here?
I worked for Dr. Ann Wigmore for over 22 years and wish so much that there was a support group nearby. I work with people who are wonderful and the 14 years I've been at work with them, they still don't eat like me and yet they accept me! I have 35 Haitian afterschool children in the afternoon and in the morning sometimes I counsel people at a clinic on reversing diabetes with this lifestyle. I used to have two websites: rawdoctors.com and rawlife.org and then I certified with Campell in Plant Based Nutrition and Barnard in Nutrition in Clinical Practice. Basically, I just steer people to raw and living foods. Even the famous doctors wonder how I have so much stamina and energy. I just tell them that it's electric food! I have a kit for the children that has metal electrodes that I stick in food and it lights a little electric bulb. It's very impressive and they remember it!
Thank you! :) Glad you're here! :) Happy New Year! :)
Thanks so much for the add anabea! It's nice to know there are HCRV's close by. I'm still transitioning. The plan is to go 100% raw Monday. My son will be with his dad for a week so I wont have to cook! Hope you dont mind if I hit you up for support and information from time to time.
Hi Anabea,
I do some consulting. You can check out my website crazybananalady.org
My transition has been interesting. I went 100% over night in December and aside from a few pickles here and there I've stuck to it. I got horrible skin the first few months and only now can I wear next to no-makeup and feel okay, which I've never been able to do in my life. Digestion is getting better slowly but surely. I was quite constipated at first, but am now going about 2-3 times a day. I still love bananas no matter how many I eat, about 15-20 a day. I've been living this way for about 6 months now, 2,500+ and have had some weight gain, but I know this will eventually leave. Freelee was quite a bit larger than she is now after one full year of being 100%, so I have faith.
Good luck on your journey.
Thank you very much for the add :)
How is everything going? I'd love to share stories, all the ups and downs. We are here to support, learn and grow from and with each other.
Have a beautiful day!
Thanks for being my BaD friend !
