Dave the raw food trucker

Arranged by Joan McDaniel           

I am including this Video from the Real Food Channel.  It is called “Dave the raw food trucker”.

During the time I needed the knowledge that food could be used to get well and I found this video instructive and inspirational. Dave’s tremendous dedication and drive to achieve, urged me on.  My goal was not to lose weight but one of his was.  He did very good, for he use to weigh over 430 lbs. and was dying.

I am not on the same food intake as the trucker. I like to chew my meal to make it feel real, therefore I am not a juicer, nor do I avoid animal food.  As time goes by, I am finding that I’m am eating more and more raw food.  I do cook, I eat fresh Bacon, and eggs right from the farm, and I find some vegetables need to be steamed like beets and Yams for they are too hard to chew.  But I am still using a fork and chewing my food. I like it that way.

The truckers story and mine are the same in that, I was sick and ate myself back to health feeding my thyroid, eating saturated fats and getting off the sugars, Carbs, processed food, and household toxins.  I played close attention to food, superfood, and food’s nutritional value.  I am using food as my medicine. When I left the hospital, over a year ago, I was on 13 medications; I’m now off all meds and have never felt better.  My blood pressure is now normal, my heart rate is no longer in the 40’s and 50’s.  I have renewed strength and have almost have eliminated all pain. I can walk again without the tremendous ripping pain.  

Watch this video, for it is beyond amazing what one person can do just by eating the right foods and actively getting involved in your own health. TAKE CHARGE - You will be amazed at how much better you will feel!!!!! Joan
