As I wrote before, a great desire to get rid of allergies (our son is allergic to nuts, my spouse is allergic to cats) provided us with great motivation and desire to change our traditional diet to a healthy one.
My spouse decided to try raw food diet immediately, but I liked eggs and cheese so much and it was rather difficult for me to give up eating them. Of course, my son liked cheese too and I decided it better for us to be vegetarians.
The was also another reason to change our nutrition.
Our son caught cold whether it was summer, spring, winter or fall. At the age of 2.5 he got purulent sore throat. At that time we have been living in a Cyprus for a year. Our Cyprus doctor prescribed an antibiotic for the first time in Egor’s life.
From that time our son began to caught cold very often. Unfortunately, we’ve experienced some serious diseases – laryngitis, purulent otitis several times. A lot of sleepiness nights, the doctor visits, a huge number of medicines and antibiotics. We went through this every month.
It was easy to overcome such moments in Cyprus, because of the weather and a lot of sun. We could walk many hours in the fresh air.
But when we moved back to Russia, it became more difficult to be positive at such moments especially in winter. We had to spend most of the time at home. But our son always was creative and full of ideas, that helped us.
I had the reason to choose more healthy diet too. I caught a cold 3-4 times a year, it was to much for me. Usually my flu lasted too long.
My son and I have been vegetarians for 1,5 month. Our health had improved a little, but I realized, that being vegetarians wouldn’t change the situation greatly.
At the same time I learned important information from Mikhail Sovetov’s lectures (I wrote about him in the article Alternative view of allergy). The main information was about the harm of changing traditional nutrition sharply. According to Sovetov, serious health problems can occur due to the large accumulation of toxins in the body. The fact is that, on a healthy diet the body will have additional forces to remove these toxins, which will provoke different problems. Therefore it’s necessary to change the food predilections gradually.
That’s why eventually we chose healthy plant-based nutrition for all family insread of raw food diet.
