Hi everyone,

My name is Roberta, and I've recently subscribed to this list.

I'm an acupuncturist and herbalist and natural healer in California. I
believe food has a huge impact on illness/wellness, and on the rate at
which injuries heal.  I've had my practice since 1985, and had my own
clinic since 1993.  I've recently started subscribing to this list to
see what the experiences of others are.

Personally I've been everything from omnivorous to strictly vegan with
varying results.  I can say that what I eat really affects me.   And
professionally I almost always put patients on some sort of modified or
natural foods diet along with whatever treatment I do, and they usually
improve.

Anyone with specific positive experiences with raw foods helping them
with a particular, specific health issue - I'd appreciate hearing from
you.

Thanks, happy new year,

Roberta
