My raw vegan life

I don’t know if you guys remember these little chinese (napa) cabbages i had. Well look at them now.

(From left to right) Italian zucchini, regular zucchini, Black Beauty zucchini. Just thinking how much zucchini noodles i will be making this summer. :)

I planted 84 tomatoes (36 red tomatoes, 12 black tomatoes, 12 yellow tomatoes, 12 cherry tomatoes, 12 pea tomatoes), i have 8 different kinds of watermelons and i even don’t know how many different kinds of melons since i bought a melon mix and it didn’t say how many different varieties are in it.

I hope to open my own seed shop in Etsy. I already have my own miniature jewelry shop there.

My little chinese cabbages (celery cabbage). Last year they did very good. Only one was damaged by cabbage worm. So far i have planted 12 but i plan on eating lots of salad this summer so i will definitely plant more.

Hi everyone who noticed that i had dissapeared!

I had some serious problems with my health. Every year in February i get some kind of illness. Even raw food didn’t help this time because i mostly ate bananas and citruses (i don’t want to buy vegetables from regular stores and in organic stores they are too expensive). I’m smarter in the future. In the beginning of February i caught some kind of flu. Flu always makes my UC act up a little but it was really bad this time. By the end of February i was put to hospital because of anemia. My hemoglobin was 86. And once again i must say that the doctors are total idiots. I felt that i was treated like a lab rat and only thought that i had was that i want to get out of this hospital alive. The doctors got seriously mad when they heard that i hadn’t taken any medicine in three years and threatened that if i don’t start taking medicine then i will get cancer and need a surgery (screw them). When i explained to them that i didn’t need it because i ate healthy then they got even angrier.

Because of those doctors and all the medicine they put me on the first day i came to the hospital, i woke up the next day with terrible stomach pain. It turned out to be
Pancreatitis. Then they treatet it with Diclofenac which is contraindicated to UC patients because it can create more ulcers and cause anemia. I can seriously say that i am lucky that i got out alive from that place.

That doctor from the childrens hospital said to me that i had a slight chance of recovering from UC but my new doctor told to my face that there is no way that i’m ever going to get healthy again because UC is autoimmune disease. Actually UC is not autoimmune disease. It is bacteria that cause UC and that is why raw food is so good for this illness. That bacteria lives off cooked food and can’t get anything to eat from raw food. (Hope i made my point because that last sentence was a little difficult to put together)

So anyway i have been home already for a week and trying to regain those 8 kilograms that i lost. I almost look like anorexic and i hate it. I want my beautiful pear shaped body back and having that body shape means that you lose your weight mostly from your hips and thighs so you can only imagine how my legs look like. I must start eating more sunflower seeds. Wish me luck!

Oh and i have a little trouble with walking because i pretty much spent 5 weeks in bed and only left my bed to go eating or to go to the bathroom. First few days, after i got out from the hospital, my mom had to support me because it was really hard to move my legs correctly. Now, a week later, i can almost walk in normal speed but my thighs are a little sore. The hardest things are to walk up the stairs and to stand up from kneeling position. And practically impossible is to walk in the snow, i can only take few steps and then i’m done. But there isn’t much snow this year and there are some really warm days coming. I can’t wait for spring to come and snow to melt, then i can go outside and work on my garden. I have planted so many seeds already and in April i will plant even more.

I don’t know how often will i post from now on. At the moment the most important things to me are to keep my UC under control and regain my weight. And of course eat healthy. :)
