Dr Graham,
I recently began implementing 80/10/10 in February. About 95%.
On February 29th I was suddenly struck with an abrupt onset of
dizziness which continues. On March 11th, i was admitted into
the hospital for only 24hrs due to heart palpitations (along with
lethargy and tingling down left arm) and extreme dizziness. Had a
CT scan, heart ultrasound, corotid ultrasound and everything was
normal. THE DOCTORS could not give a diagnosis and I was
released.

My blood tests showed low potassium and low lymphocytes.
High neutrophils. B-12 within normal ranges but on the low side.

Unfortunately I continue with the constant dizziness, occassional
heart racing and constant weakness. I cannot drive and can only
get out for short periods with company. Some days are better
than others.

I truly believe that a low fat raw vegan diet will balance and heal
me. The last couple weeks I have been 100% raw. First with only
juices (fruit & green vegetable ) and this week continue with
orange juice and Smoothies of banana, celery, spinach, and some
frozen fruit.

I want to know if you think there is any particular fruit I should be
eating and what amount of calories I should be having since I
cannot currently do any exercise, except for slow walking 3to 4
times a week for about 10 to 20 minutes before I have to sit again,
otherwise I am sitting or lying down due to the dizziness and
weakness.

I am around 5 ft 6 inches, currently 167lbs (although my goal
weight is 130lbs)

Thank you for any help on specific foods or calorie amount. I
appreciate it it more that you know as I am desperate to heal and
get back to life.

Allison Swezey
