I was in a horrible car wreck three years ago. I was hit by a drunk driver and ended up with two shattered disks and chronic back pain. I started raw foods (100 percent) two weeks ago upon the advice of my chiropractor/naturapath doctor. It was a last resort, honestly. I tried everyone – yoga, meditation, biofeedback, regular back “cracking” at the doc, hot springs, vitamins – you name it.
For the past three days, I have been 100 percent free of pain. I can’t believe it. I really can’t. I haven’t had a pain-free day in three years. Normally I can’t sleep, I toss and turn all night due to the pain. But I slept like a baby the last two nights.
I can’t believe it. I am so grateful.

wow birdie thats great!
Im right there with you little birdie.
I feel asleep at the wheel years ago and crash hard into a tree. I compressed my lower spine and was in a back brace for 8 months. Once I went raw the pain went away. I suffered ridiculous pain for 2 years and didnt take meds. and it just became the norm to feel like you are gonna die. I had pain all over especially in my upper shoulder blades. It was crippling.
Right on littlebirdie Raw food is sweet.
WOW - that is fantastic – huge congrats to you! It’s funny – I have recently noticed that my back pain is drastically reduced – I have had intermittent back pain since my teens (nothing like yours – no accidents). I had been used to requiring regular chiro care (at least once a week) so I wasn’t in too much pain. I cannot believe how much better my back is now – and I’m not even 100% raw!! I haven’t been to the chiro in months. This way of eating is such a miracle. :)
that would be amazing if it helped me. i have had severe back pain for 3 years. it is very debilitating. i am crossing my fingers. anyhow, i am also very happy for you littlebirdie.
worleyhimself, yay! That’s what happened to me, too. I honestly felt like I was going to die most days. It was incredibly debilitating. I never went the route of prescription meds, though I did carry a bottle of vicodin in my purse. Never had the guts to take it, though. My regular doctor was all about the medication, ugh. I’m glad I figured out that there are better ways.
Kendra – that rocks! I can’t get over how much improvement I have, too. I’m so glad your back is feeling better.
bitt, I hope and pray that your back has the same recovery as me. I am in shock, it surprised me so much. I am so grateful for this second chance at life. Your back sounds just like mine. :) Big hugs, honey.

This is so encouraging. I have noticed that when I'm faithfully raw my back pain dissappears. And of course if I add cooked foods in there it creeps right back up again. This is encouraging to stay in it and keep it up! Thank you.
amazing!!! raw food is the cure of all diseases! I cured problems with my liver.
