Default raw food and sense of smell

Has anyone else noticed their senses becoming VERY sensitive again after eating raw?

My eyesight has gone back to 20/20, I used to need glasses.

Im also super picky with perfumes, and I can smell the difference between different corners of the same room. Its NUTS.

Sometimes I like to think that I can smell personality. And, the odd time, you can.

Always good to hear about the benefits of raw. That's what I'll be thinking about during the transition. Three days left to prepare for it!

I've noticed a few strange symptoms in my life recently.

#1 I have little to no sense of smell. My family was horrified by the smell of the housecats litterbox.. I could not smell it at all. Even within a foot of it, a stench that was apparently unbareable within the room, I couldnt smell a thing. I can smell certain things though, I can smell citrus and most foods.

#2 My tongue hurts. I don't know what it is, It doesnt feel like any kind of strep I've ever had. The back of my tongue ranges from stabbing to a strange kind of pain I have not experienced before. My intution tells me it is related to diet and not something viral.

I've read in the past that a decrease in smell is caused by a zinc deficiency. I wonder if the raw diet is packed with enough nutrients that your senses begin to repair and improve. Its likely most people are walking around nutritionally hindered.

I have to agree that sense of smell is the what stands out the most since I started eating raw.
