Since birth I have been ill. Doctors attributed to food allergies or sinus problems. From age 23 to 49 I went to over 100+ doctors trying to find out what was wrong. The illnesses led to seizures and a coma and employers that did not want a snake bit employee. Finally in 2005 I self diagnosed me from an autopsy found on the internet and then confirmed with specialist about the rare genetic disorder--that is why doctors never recognized it. Basically, I can only have 30 grams of protein a day and need to be on a plant based diet. Luckily my body had been leading me down the path toward vegetarianism because meat just made me quite ill. So did gluten (a protein). It also affected my personality, memory and central nervous system. Guess these are some valid points for going vegetarian and then raw.

I am struggling to gain the upperhand on my medical issues that on the inside are quite serious. A few years back when I was looking for a coop, I had found the original website. So I started again and contacted Kristina. She welcomed me with open arms. However she recently found out that my husband was out buying DQ Tacos! He just can't eat veggie all the time. He is Jack Sprat and I am his wife.

I am starting out slow. My volunteerism keeps being undermined by my illness. Like right now I am not suppose to be in the daylight and heat or it will become worse. (I don't think this phase has heard of living in So. Texas). I am becoming convinced I may be a vegetarian vampire. I have a long ways to go to get to get where I need to be. (They are taking lots of metabolic tests to determine what is out of whack each month). My instructions were for a high carb, lo pro, lo fat diet. So the 80-10-10 may help me reach my health goal!

You will see me off and on as I struggle. I want to thank each and every angel that makes it possible for me to pickup up a box since I can't help right now. Bless you a million times over at both sites. My husband and I say this several times a week. You are not taken for granted.
