Big believer

I've always known that certain foods make me ill, it wasn't until later in my life after I had rebelled against my body, fed it a host of foods poisonous to it, alcohol and abused my visual and mental environments that I realized the opposite it also true.  Certain foods can heal.

I was about 16 when read my first nutrition book - The Vitamin Bible and I read it from cover to cover, thinking that everything I needed could be obtained from a supplement and therefore I didn't need to eat any more and could remain skinny.

My Mum, armed with much more knowledge had consulted a homeopatic doctor when I was very young, and that was the discovery of the cause of my chronic asthma, sleepless nights, bad eczema, dry skin, irritability, mood swings and migraine headaches, to name only a few of the challenges we faced everyday.  But to me it seemed like a prison sentence and when old enough that my parents could no longer control what I ate or did, I rebelled living on a diet of dairy, eggs, and alcohol.

Tired, lethargic and fed up, I realized I had to do something, and began reading more and more nutrition books and medical studies.  Even at my worst, eating very little, hating my body for putting me through this, and drinking every night, I was always on the look out for the pathway to pure health.

I'm still on my journey, I try to lead as normal a life as possible and I try to keep this under wraps so that only those close to me know the full extent of how the environment seems to effect me a lot more then most people.  My condition is by no means as chronic as it used to be and is far better than a lot of those suffering with MCS.  I believe this is because I do my best to keep it in check. 

So this year I'm on a mission to eat a lot more raw food, eat vegan, and be healthy!
