"I am forever grateful to be on this...diet. Before meeting Aajonus, I had crippling migraine headaches that kept me in bed. Speechwise, it took me a long time to complete a simple sentence. Thanks to the Primal diet. I no longer get migraines, I seldom get colds, and I speak very fluently. At 57, I have yet to see a gray hair on my head."

You also made me feel okay about being so different in our ways; it�s very hard for me sometimes with such a domineering vegetarian family. You gave me more of a reason to do what we do.�

�I do not desire sweets or salty things any more�even though all my life this was an issue for me. My emotions are much more stable and I am much calmer at work than I can ever remember. This is not because work is less stressful. I am the director of administration and finance for an�agency. [My lackluster view of life], too, seems to be lifting. I am becoming much more high energy�occasionally feel a little manic�usually when I am excited about something. But I would rather that than the gray of last several years.�

�I had some misgivings about starting the program. I could see myself investing the time and money then not getting a result. After more than 30 years with the physical problem I had, I realized it was worth a try. My energy is better now. One of the best results is the fact that I have been able to stay on the program. The desire for some of the non-nutritional things I used to eat is gone. There certainly is a difference between surviving and enduring and really living life. I have begun to respect what good food is all about.�

"I was first influenced to go on the raw food diet when my sister was diagnosed with breat cancer. At the same time, I also broke up with my boyfriend, but still had to see him and deal with him. These two situations put an incredible amount of strain on my already stressful life. I was amazed at how this diet enabled me not only to still function, but to feel good as well. A friend of mine jokingly called it the "Zen diet" due to its effect of eliminating emotional pain. I have always been an emotionally sensitive person, and this diet has been a real godsend to me. I didn't realize that what we eat has such a profound effect on how we feel. This diet is an incredibly fascinating and miraculous thing.
"I have experienced other benefits from eating raw foods as well. One of the most immediate results was the disappearance of the numerous sinus headaches I have suffered from over the years. Colds and flus have also vanished from my life. I had gum problems, which healed after three months. My menstrual cramps have disappeared. I am able to climb the many stairs to my apartment without feeling strain in my legs (and without working out). My entire body feels stronger.
"My take on a quote by J.D. Salinger: I am a kind of paranoic in reverse, I suspect people of plotting to make me happy, especially Aajonus."

"Here's a "success story" that you might find interesting. Although I
bet you've heard all this before.
"This is about a couple of what I consider to be significant changes in
perception of my physical processes. And these took place a LOT sooner
than I could have anticipated.
"The first one is probably the most amazing. Well no, they are both
amazing to me. Here they are:
1.
"I want you to realize that, for perhaps the last 45 years or so, my
mornings have always started with the ritual of the coffee pot and then,
with steaming mug in hand, a cigarette. Realize also that if I did NOT have that coffee, and even though these have been decaff for several
years, I will turn on a terrific headache by noon or a little later.
Okay. So now you're getting the idea of what's coming here. On the
VERY FIRST DAY of starting my [recommended] diet (thankyou again for spelling
everything out so carefully) I went into the kitchen at around 7:30 a.m.
and dutifully reached a green juice out of the frig (made the night
before). Right after getting up, I had thought, "Okay, I cannot expect
to throw a green juice down on top of a coffee, that'll wreck
everything. I'll have a coffee later, sneak it in there somehow." So I
mixed the spoonful of raw cream into the juice and just downed it. Went
to my computer. Started working. Looked at the time. Nine-thirty.
Woops. An hour late for that raw meat. Wait a minute. How could two
hours go by without the coffee and cigarette? I stood up and looked at my body from inside out, so to speak. No desire for coffee. No need.
Not even a tiny itch. I thought of the aroma, the warmth, the comfy
feelings. Nuttin'. Nada. It blew my mind. The day progressed with my
first raw meat, and so on and so on. No headache. Incredible.
Actually unbelievable. But there it is. Then I remembered a bit in the
book about a "coffee substitute" that involved green juice, and I also
recalled I had scoffed. Yes I admit it. Scoffed. Like "Yeah right,
like some green juice is going to substitute for coffee. Hah!" It was
one of my main worries. Well I'm ready to tell the world this: In the
past week on the diet, even having gone off it here and there due to
time constraints or just forgetting to eat 'cause I was busy, I have
only had ONE coffee and more than half of that wound up going cold and
tossed down the sink. It tasted weird, made me feel weird, and I didn't like it! I went off coffee a few years ago and I had a headache for 10 days. All I had to do after that was sip it and I'd get the headache
again. So it's been a week and NO HEADACHE. I think about coffee once
in a while, but I don't make it 'cause I don't really want it, it
doesn't "feel right" when I picture it going down. So where's the headache? Why has it been so easy? Why don't I crave a coffee in the morning any more? Answer: Who cares? Gimme another one of those green juices please!

"This is too complex for some people, but I know you have the perception
to understand it. A few days ago I was running very late on the diet
all day, everything was way behind, I didn't have time to stand around
mixing stuff. Next thing you know I'm out shopping, feeling starving,
gotta eat or I'll die, so I stop at a favorite take out joint and buy a
HUGE sandwich and just scarf it down while driving home. Stuffed, I pull
into the driveway. Half-hour later, still feeling TOTALLY stuffed, I
look around in the body and get this very cool perception: I'm still
starving. I'm so stuffed my stomach is groaning. And I'm starving. I
mean a very true and real perception of a communication from the body
saying, Hey, I'm hungry here! Gimme some REAL food. So without further
ado I threw eggs and cream at it and . . . ahhhhh, thanks! Hunger gone.
"The success here is simply this: I have a new perception of the thing =
called "hunger".
"There's the growly you-can-feel-it-in-your-stomach hunger that everyone
knows. There's another kind that's based on irrational craving for
something specific -- probably comes from allergies--which has nothing
to do with the first one. Then there's the hunger for a "kick" -- like
coffee, chocolate, sugar, anything that'll kick the adrenals.
And now there's this new, completely different and independent hunger
for NUTRITION, that seems to be sourced simply in the cells of the body.
I don't know how else to describe it. I don't know how it communicates =
to me, but there's a very specific and identifiable "feeling" that is
it. Does that make sense to you? Does to me.
Thanks for this."

His book has helped my family and many others... "We Want To Live" showed us how to heal our bodies for optimal health with only RAW FOOD. The first part of his book tells his life story and how he saved his son!!!! The second half gives suggestions on what foods/ combinations to help certain ailments and what caused them. This is a book to get if you are ready to take charge of your own health through real food. Aajonus has been living this way for over 30 years and has healed in many ways with ONLY raw food.
His other book "Recipe for Living Without Disease" is also very good. I recommend "We Want to Live" first.
