Not to discredit Karen, your experience, but after reading your web pages it looks to me like you didn't eat enough to keep your body rebuilding itself. I don't think you can blame fruitarian or rawist diets, whichever it might have been, for your health going downhill. You only ate once a day about 500 or so calories with no green leaves or nuts. It doesn't seem to be enough nutrients. 20 years this way, you say? How can you blame the diet? Nancy
