Detoxing & Raw Food...

If you've never tried "detoxing", let me enlighten you somewhat. Over the past several years after moving several times & being under some challenging stress (w/my mom's illness & subsequent passing), I found myself not feeling very well overall. Exercise was very difficult as I didn't seem to have the energy to go very far... and I always seemed to be rather tired with very little effort.

I had blood test after blood test done... and nothing was showing up. Thought it might have been my heart and arteries, and had various tests done there -- nothing wrong with the heart. Had MS testing done... nothing. My sister thought it was my thyroid... nope it wasn't that.

You can imagine how frustrating this can be if you've ever had something wrong in your body, but couldn't quite put your finger on it, and regular doctors can't find anything! But I was determined to find a way to feel better overall, even if how I felt didn't have a name, and especially to get back to exercising! I tried a few detox programs that lasted a month here or there... and, with the exception of losing about 7 lbs and feeling better for just a few weeks, didn't feel like those programs were helping me overall.

I mentioned something to my massage therapist who said her husband is a Detox Specialist. After doing a series of tests that measure the organs through the acupuncture meridians, he can determine if my organs are healthy or not, and then with the use of herbs & a change of diet to Raw Food, start to heal these organs and the illness. I was told this detox program takes 9 mos to help heal the organs... not one month! So I decided to give it a try! '-)

I wanted something that would make me FEEL like I was making progress in healing my body, and not have a program that just lasted a month, and temporarily made me feel good, only to come back shortly after... similar to all the diet programs of my past. :-/

In March, I had the test first which is done by touching an electrode to the fingers & the toes (both hands & feet), then got a printout of how my organs were doing (not so well... no surprise). I was also given a one hour discussion about how the body works, what foods are best for it, and how it can be healed. I was then given (2) bottles of Gods' Herbs and proceeded to add drops to water/juice, 3x per day and changed my diet to eat more raw food, and eliminate food & cooked foods that are harmful to my system.

After 2 months, I was feeling BETTER than I had felt in a long time! :-D So of course I decided to "test" it by having some "naughty" food, thinking it was "oK" to go back & eat the way I used to eat. I also had friends in town and found myself not eating properly because I didn't want to speak up for my own needs. So, I paid for it... I became VERY VERY ILL over one or two days... and this taught me that I had to stay on the raw food diet & continue with the herbal drops if I want to feel better!

It's definitely a BIG change for one's body & lifestyle to go to a raw food diet!! It definitely makes life rather challenging especially while away on vacation. I cannot eat typical local fare as it will make me ill. And since I don't like that feeling, I eat what I'm supposed to eat. It's definitely a choice... Fortunately there's a lot more raw food & organic restaurants popping up, as well as organic fruit & veggie shops appearing around the world. But if you're like me... you might just have to bring what you like to eat, and supplement with other local organic & raw food.

So, if you have something awry in your body, and you're not sure what the problem is... consider a Detox Specialist who can help determine what's wrong in your body & help to heal it. You may not find out EXACTLY what the problem is... but you'll understand that chamges need to be made in order to feel good & enjoy life again! :-)
