End of the Cleanse

Well, the kids are glad the cleanse is over. I finally have my son consistently at 2 bowel movements a day and my daughter is almost there. I'm giving her an herb she used to have a reaction to (I used BIE to reset her body to recognize the item). But she happens to need at least 4 a day consistently to get her body going. I myself have reintroduced something my body has an issue with - but it's given me some dry skin under my jaw/neckline area. I'll figure out what it is.

Cleanse weeks 2 and 3

Our cleanse is going very well. Our kids' bowels have improved and lot and as a result our daughter's face is clearing up, so is some of her dandruff (caused by her current hormone fluctuations - she's 12, going on 19). My husband realized that he's okay with uncooked oatmeal, but definitely has an issue once it's cooked. I seem to have a slight issue with gluten and chemicals. We seem to learn something new every year we do this.

Cleanse Progress

Our cleanse is going quite well. My daughter had an interesting experience one week into the cleanse. She had to go to a birthday party - at a well known pizza place with cake from the restaurant and candies with a movie. Needless to say her body responded by giving her the worst cramps she ever had. In her words, 'my mind will never forget that feeling'. She almost buckled over and thought she wouldn't make it home. It goes to show that when you're eating really well, your body will 'reset' itself. When you introduce something that your body dislikes, it may/will respond appropriately!

Cleansing

Happy New Year!

It's cleansing time for us right now. We do several during the year, but now is the best time for us to do a deep cleanse - we need 30 days free from any activities/parties. In this cleanse we avoid all forms of sugar, wheat, diary and yeast. We eat very clean and take a special combination of herbs to support and detoxify our body systems. We use Biofeedback Analysis (muscle testing) to find out which herbs we should be taking. This year we also have our 9 and 12 year old children participating as well - they're not too happy about swallowing capsules. Our daughter is great at avoiding the sugar - she turned down a doughnut and a cookie from a friend the other day; our son is doing pretty good as well. They're noticing that everything seems to have sugar in it. Would you believe I found some nitrate free turkey breast slices that contained 'raw sugar'? It's really quite amazing what you can find out when you begin reading labels!!
