[Essentially Ours] Z on detox, disease and your q's
Greetings JoyfulOnes
It's Z on Day 5 of my first 5-Day Cleanse in 3 seasons.
For those of you not yet brave enough to start and get on the ylcleansers
group:
I'd like to share my present experience here to encourage you to take care
of your SELF, get brave enough and join that group!
Maybe that's why I periodically "forget" to take excellent care of
myself--to feel a little less than the "Extremely Well" I usually do--so I
can remember how most people are used to accepting feeling. More like-- I'm
just human and dealing with life....
I knew I was in need. How? I felt sluggish, overloaded in many ways, energy
not as I like. Muscles in my mid-back were really bothering me.
BodywiZdom tells me:
"There's less room in here than there should be--we're getting worked hard
outside and squeezed tight from the inside. MAKE ROOM in here!"
My torso flexibility was suffering. All this told me it was past time for a
cleanse. Having been extremely UN-well for years after the toxic exposure, I
got very used to being Extremely Well once I finally got well again--and I
LIKE feeling WELL.
I'm just an Artist (and a Peak Performance expert.) All of you should get Dr
LeAnne's book--it's a "small" book size-wise but it's so FULL of profound
wisdom--as is Dr LeAnne--and she makes it easy to understand.
I'll just say: before even thinking of cleansing the liver--or anything
else--it's really important to clean out your pipes! Because everyone's
colon is so full of blood vessels! When the toxic stuff that goes through it
to naturally leave our bodies doesn't come completely out--those blood
vessels reabsorb the toxins that are in the stuck-stuff that needs to come
out! It's just yucky, makes us feel yucky and creates all kinds of problems
that can be "managed"--but really-- just easier and better to avoid those
problems altogether!
Since I got Extremely Well again--a few years now--my seasonal cleansing
tends to go smooth and easy.
I know what to expect, and prepare, but not this time. I had to remember why
I do it every season by missing three.
First few days I remembered Juvaflex and have been using it--over liver and
on feet and sometimes just holding bottle below my nose for a few minutes--I
do this while working.
Day 4 was tough. I felt all stopped up and was not really eliminating-
while taking the "right" amount of my detox assistant's, blender-drinks,
broths, and teas's. Guess I had to remember: sometimes when our digestive
system has been blocked up too long--it let's go "different." You start
eliminating and feel yucky but better--then something seems to stall.
A lot of newbies to cleansing think "oh this is not good"--and stop the
cleanse.
Now I can tell you from fresh experience: if I'd stopped--I'd still be
stopped-up!
It was more DIS-comfort than I've physically felt in a long time--here's
what I did:
--I slightly increased the amount of assistants I took into my Body through
my mouth: fibrous fruits/veggies and their juices, detox supplements, water
(and green tea's.) I took a long bath with 7 drops of Sacred Mountain in a
capful of organic half-and-half.
--I increased the amount of assistants I used for my Mind and my Spirit
more--I gave my SELF time to read something to strengthen and motivate me,
to think and to feel-through some emotional things that I needed to Gather
and Release, I toned while I was in my FIR sauna.
I still was feeling STUCK and only eliminating some from my colon and my
back muscles were complaining pitifully--so I gave myself and "extra" does
of supplement, Juva-flexed my feet, did some torso-twist yoga and went to
bed.
Yes--I got up in the middle of the night. Twice. And everything is coming
along quite nicely now.
If it wasn't--I'd be saying THANKS ROSE for that coffee enema
reminder--thanks anyway Rose! Luckily, I don't need that assistant now.
But my instinct told me to increase my supplement this morning and instead
of a yogurt/fruit and extra's blender drink--made hot oatmeal for my
breakfast. And I stop periodically while working, and use the sidearms and
twistability of my office chair to hook with hands and feet and twist my
torso and hold-the-twist. We'll see about that coffee enema...maybe. But I
felt pretty good this morning, and I'm starting to feel MUCH better and it's
mid-day Day 5. I'm thinking of continuing the cleanse an extra day or two.
Rose asked about "what" liver damage I had, and this made me think once
again on how re-programmed we got about our health in the latter half of the
20th century with the "magic" of 20th century miracles in diagnostics,
disease identification, and pharmaceutical "solutions." We USED to think
about taking care of ourselves to be healthy, hale, hearty. NOW we "need" a
diagnosis.
After the acute toxic exposure in Jan 98--one of the things that happened to
me pretty immediately (beside not being able to SEE) was that my entire
torso blew up like a barrel! That is the natural Body reaction to
attack--under the toxic attack--ALL my organs swelled up. Everything was in
shock and painful and too intense to even differentiate where the
"worst"problem was--though my head was in excruciating pain and foggy as
heck. Lucky-for-me, as a long-time environmental activist--I understood the
cause/effect and as a wholistic type all my life--and the daughter of a
medical professor/research pathologist-
my first direction had to be clean up and detox.
As the daughter of a medical professor/research pathologist I knew I had to
find doctors who knew something about neurotoxins --not many did in 1998 but
I knew how to hunt them down. And as the daughter of a medical
professor/research pathologist my empirical observation is:
Diagnosis is a double-edged sword. It can be so important--crucial. But we
have become DIAGNOSIS-oriented in the latter half of the 20th Century as
opposed to HEALTH-oriented. Ever notice that whatever specialist you see
they have a diagnosis or medication for it?
Specialists diagnose according to their specialty. THAT's why a doctor's
daughter went wholistic at a young age. I GOT that.
I saw so many Dr's in the first year and had so many diagnoses and
misdiagnoses-
remember what was read to me to to being brain-injured. I'll go through 'em
one day and make a full-list.
Neurotoxicology was not even a recognized Medical specialty then.
The smartest physicians and healers over time have always known that first--
tend to the immediate (stop blood flow, remove foreign object, calm/comfort
patient)
and then--
tend the whole person by building up the strength of the person's own
natural healing body-mind-spirit immune systems.
As someone who was medically diagnosed with "Toxic Encepalopathy" due to
"Acute Toxic Chemical Exposure" and so many "secondary" conditions--
has been compromised everywhere, wholistically, and across all systems.
Including and especially the organs that filter toxic material for removal.
I figure it's best to just take care of my Body-Mind-Spirit SELF
wholistically and work off of knowing how I feel--and where I need to adjust
how I take care of my self rather than worry about any diagnosesl Diagnoses
can be so subjective:)
Lest I get on MY soap-box--I promise--I will address this more another
time.
Just wanted to respond to Rose's question:):)
be WELL
