so i wanted to share this link I found

https://huemantech.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/raw-food-and-lyme-disease-10-testimonials-of-healing/

I didn't do this route yet for lyme..at least not for long..but i'm sure it will help during my treatment.

i'm thinking about doing this.

Lymedriven,

While a raw food can have many benefits I would not suggest it to anyone with lyme, unless they were already on a raw food diet. RF can be very hard on the digestive tract. Lightly steamed vegetables are best. I steam for just few minutes then drizzle organic olive oil and lemon juice. Lyme people also seem to benefit from lean protein - but not too much.

Just read/watched the link. I think if people were on the SAD (standard American diet) diet they would benefit from greatly changing what they eat. Many with lyme get candida. When I did the candida diet two years ago (didn't have lyme yet) I couldn't even eat an apple. No fruit of any kind allowed (on the REAL candida diet). No animal protein for first month, then I reintroduced organic chicken and some fish. I just stopped eating fish of any kind due to mercury possibilities. I think the idea of a mainly plant based diet is great for lyme. Incorporating lots of coconut oil (great for lyme) and avocados and olive oil. I have a spirulina smoothie each morning and swear that has helped with energy. I juice as well as it is gentler on digestion but too much still breaks down as sugar.I heard rule of lyme is no more than 5-10 grams sugar a day.

Again I think this is one of those areas where it can work for some. There are many articles written regarding the pros of a raw diet and healing from Lyme. If you should decide to do this, you must go slowly as you are altering the way you currently eat. You will go from acidic to more alkaline.

Krimpet,

Yes that is the goal. Alkaline your body. You can still do it with lightly steamed vegetables. Here is my very broad observation. Many young people still have gut integrity and can pull it off. Most people over 40, even without lyme, have gut stuff they need to heal and raw can make it worse but worth a try, I do raw almond butter (I soak for a very long time) and a few other things. But raw veggies, other than celery, hurt.

I agree 100% Huddie however some folks still want to try to go the 100% raw route. But you and I are on the same page. For example the gaps diet (gut healing) calls for well cooked, lightly cooked and few raw veggies.

Krimpet,

What raw veggies are good to eat? Would love to know that. I do also eat raw baby spinach some times and arugula greens. Oh and zucchini pasta but I soak it in mixture of olive oil/lemon juice. Thanks.

Yea, I woudl definetely cook them lol.

I meant the food guildeines that pertain to raw...but still with cooking. like cooked veggies, or beans, nuts, seeds, mainly, and then doing antibiotic herbals and stuff. fruits and veggies lots.

That's my goal.. bascially just eat healthy i guess.
