Hello my lovelies ♥ I hope you're all doing great! Today I came across something so beautiful and inspiring (it even brought a few tears to my eyes) and I just had to share this with you all. Below is a picture of Maya, the beautiful daughter of @dehappy5_mama on Instagram. Ullenka (the happy mama!), her husband and their three kids have been following a raw high carb low fat vegan diet for the last 6 months and have experienced some truly remarkable results. Maya had previously suffered from severe eczema as well as leaky gut caused by candida overgrowth. After only a few months, Maya is completely healed and is looking absolutely gorgeous and healthy.

"After struggling with terrible eczema and allergies for most of her life, my 8 year old daughter recovered completely within only 5 months on high carb raw vegan diet. She has a condition called leaky gut caused by candida overgrowth that she had since born. Years of other treatments and diets gave no results and even worsen her eczema till the point shown on left photo. At the beginning there was about three months of hard detox and from then she started to heal beautifully to be a healthy and happy girl today. Her two younger brothers had milder stadium of eczema and all three of them are clear skin today."@dehappy5_mama
I am so happy to see Maya's transformation after only a few months of eating raw - how amazing! It just goes to show the incredible power of raw foods - fruit in particular (which Maya mostly eats). "I know it looks dramatic and I am sorry if anyone of you feels a bit discomforted looking at her. But I want to show this to help many other people, especially children, that suffer through this terrible disease. She had such severe eczema on her body that I am first time publicly sharing her pictures from that period of time. I actually will not say anything anymore, you see the results. For those of you who are interested about more details please go to my blog. There is first part of her story with even more dramatic photos." @dehappy5_mama
This before and after made me somewhat emotional today and really tugged on my heart strings. As you may know, I've had my own on and off struggles with my skin, and I've seen plenty of dermatologists over the years. During every consultation, I'd ask them about diet and if it's related to my skin issues. I'd ask them if there are any foods I should be avoiding, or foods that may be disrupting my hormones (thus causing the acne). I'd ask them if the health of my digestive system could be linked to acne, or if stress / exercise had any impacts. Every doctor looked at me with a smile and said no, acne is caused due to bacterial growth on the skin and diet / lifestyle habits has no impact. Then they were always more than happy to prescribe me an antibacterial cream, face cleansers and medicines. It just never felt right. I was so happy when I discovered this lifestyle and read about all the positive transformations from people healing themselves of all sorts of diseases and health complications. This lifestyle is so empowering and set us free from the never ending cycle of pharmaceuticals and medicated treatments. "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine by thy food" - Hippocrates.

This information is so important, and should be celebrated :) There are so many of us dealing with health issues which can be totally reversed and cured through a plant based, high raw (or fully raw) high carb, low fat, vegan diet. And most amazingly, the answer is so delicious, colorful and satisfying! I'm so thankful to Ullenka for sharing her truly inspiring journey with us.
I hope this can help others who might be dealing with similar conditions. I have more info in my videos and under the "Health and Diet" category, as well as under the "Vegan Plant Based Lifestyle" page. Never be afraid to follow your instincts and listen to your heart, especially when it comes to taking care of yourself. We live in such a crazy (yet beautiful) world - we can't let ourselves fall into the marketing trap of the pharmaceutical industries. It's a never ending cycle of medicines and magic potions. True health and healing starts from within, and mother nature knows just how to do it! ♥ Wishing you all a beautiful day! XOXO
