Is a Raw Vegan Diet healthful for diabetes and high blood pressure?

Is a raw vegan diet healthful over a long period of time, especially with diabetes and high blood pressure? I am trying to switch to a raw vegan diet, but my dietitian insists it is not healthful. Has anybody here tried it long-term, or know anybody who has? I'm wanting to lose a lot of weight, and I've been making a lot of salads, with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, green bell peppers, celery, onions, carrots ... and then I pour on a bunch of vinegar and lemon juice. It's tasty, nutritious, and very low-calorie. It seems to be working for me, but my dietitian isn't happy. And I didn't even tell you what my primary care physician thinks about my decision to quit all my diabetes and blood pressure medications and just rely on a raw vegan diet instead of the meds ... except that I'm going to have to find another primary care physician.

I have heard of people curing diabetes and high blood pressure with a raw food diet. I am not raw myself (though I have played with recipes, and incorporated some things like green smoothies into my daily life), but I have met several long-term raw foodists who have overcome illnesses including diabetes, allergies, eczema, and even one who beat cancer - and all are very healthy now and off of all medications. One book I would highly suggest is 'Eat to Live' by Joel Fuhrman - it is primarily raw food, and addresses the issues of diabetes and high blood pressure. He also has articles about this and many other topics on his website, and he is available for consultations if you want him to create a plan for you to get off your medications. (but I wouldn't just go cold turkey on your medications - your body will need time to adjust and gradually wean yourself off of them). check out these links:

http://creativehealthinstitute.com/ - the creative health institute has a fairly inexpensive two-week residential program that teaches you all aspects of how to live and eat raw. I know people who have done this program and had great experiences with it.

good luck!
