To Whom it may Concern
Someone should interview me. A producer would probably work. I started one year ago eating a raw diet at 69 now at 70 and doing so well I wake up daily and cannot believe my success at beating diabetes2 and weight and the mental health is hugely positive. I do eat natural protein too. I have done this all on my own without a partner, because I am single. I want too be on Chasing Life. My story is not a good one–it is a great story.
