Update

I haven't forgotten about this blog. I'm working on getting me to work on getting to this forum on a very regular basis. When I work on it.

Funny, I actually am suffering from a kidney infection at the moment. It's been hard to juggle clean eating, work and extra-curricular activities the past couple of weeks. I have read and studied and had a sitting consult with a Holistic Health Practitioner. There is a lot to do.

Because of how I came down with the kidney infection (e coli - lettuce - nationally known sandwich shop chain... Led to urinary tract infection), I have to detox, fast and hit the greens in my juice feasting. I wasn't ready to do it so soon, but now in order to get rid of the ickies, I gotta juice and detox so I won't get any sicker.

I've lost about 10 pounds, can't sleep and my lower back (in that area) is on fire. The pain has subsided over the last 4 or 5 days due to horsetail and dandelion root among other herbs, and my blood sugars have been lower because of reduced food intake. I plan on going on a 21 day full body detox courtesy of D Herbs, and I'll roll that into a kidney and liver cleanse. My mental clarity has gotten a bit better due to the reduced starch intake. Other than the kidney pain, I'm fine.

I'm in 2 belt notches and am angry with myself that I bought a new belt 2 weeks ago.

The juicer comes out this weekend in full force.

A dear friend and sister is actually sending me some herbal kick-ass concoctions this weekend to help cleanse and heal the kidneys and liver as well as help alleviate diabetic symptoms.

I'm going to steam and soak in the coming days.

If this is a part of the healing crisis, then I really want to get the rest of the bad stuff over with.

Google and research Dr. Gabriel Cousins and his Tree Of Life center in Arizona. I'm thinking about going there later on this year.

Y'all be easy now, mmmmkaaay?

  1. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! I suffered from kidney issues my entire childhood so I feel your pain there...and I am sure mine were caused by my eating as well...

  2. Yep.

    Eating bad is one hell of a hard habit to break. I hope I feel better soon too! I like taking naps, I wanna be 'normal' again and get back into my nap regimen.
