i don't think i can handle a fast

you're right - the mindset is important. basically, this is designed to "anchor", if you will, a positive mindset. i already walk my dog every day, but i may extend the walks - you're right, it makes a lot of difference.

just so i don't piss off all of my clients and students, i also got some of this:

yeah, i used to use it when i was in a high-stress job, and it worked great. and i've recently included Bach flower essences in my dog training - they seem to work quite well on animals.

great stuff!

they only types of detox i do are whole food detoxes

starting with quitting smoking and alcohol and junk
food for about a week. during this period i only
drink more water and don't do anything else.

second week i juice vegetables for breakfast, about
2 to 3 large glasses made up out of 9 different sorts
of veggies always including fresh garlic and ginger

for the rest of the day i just eat normal meals and
drink herbal teas instead of coffee

third week i start eat a mix of cooked seeweads and
mungbeans or aduki beans with every meal. you just
make a batch and put it in the fridge. very good
nutrition and very strong detox value.

after 3 weeks i take a month of silimarin or milk
thistle capsules for liver cleansing and renewal.

that's about it.

i guess the crash detox works for some people but
i find it very taxing on the body and it makes me
feel lifeless and sick for too long.

steadily cleansing and steadily replacing the tox
with good healthy wholefood nutrition.

i don't really believe in cure all pills, they
always always always upset your bodily balance.



having said all that, i've been smoking like mad
again, drinking about 7 cups of instant each day
and eating the worst possible food



i'm such a slacker.

especially if you're a vegan, i would recommend this
nurturing side dish for meals once you start to get
back in shape:

quenoa grain, arame seaweed and aduki beans with a
hint of seasalt, a few drops op lemon juice and some
virgin olive oil (half a table spoon on a bowl)

soak a cup of adukis for about 8 hours
soak 1/4 cup of crushed arame 20 mins

wash the adukis, put in a pan, drain off arame and
lightly wash (you don't have to, in fact it's best
not to but if you don't everything in the pan will
turn black lol) then also add to the pan.

simmer softly for about 20 minutes then add a cup
and a half of quenoa and simmer for another 15 min

take off the heat, drain and add some lemon juice
and a little bit of olive oil and store in a bowl.

whenever i make it i never manage to store much cuz
it's so damn delicious. very minimal but very good.





and if you're a vegan another thing that really gets
lots of really good nutrients into your system is to
combine grains.

like a few tab spoons of quenoa with your rice or a
mix of spelt and amaranth. etc etc.

esp quenoa and amaranth mix very well with other
grains and supply all the right ingredients for
a perfect uptake of nutrients in the grains

ok i'll stop ranting now and just give you one
more tip:

if you ever buy one more book on food buy this one

"healing with wholefoods" by Paul Pitchford

it contains just about everything anyone could ever
want to know about their fruits, vegs, grains etc.
with a huge amount of delicious recepies and much
much information on detox and conditions. it's the
one book i consult the most and value the most out
of my aprox 60 food books

Good old rescue remedy works every time also great 4 animals 2.

Remember 2 drink water when detoxing- good luck

I've never actively detoxed, but I have been running a lot more for the last few weeks, and my skin is looking really clear. I think the sweating must do much the same as a food detox.

I've also been reading about exfoliation and how that not only gets rid of the dust on the surface, but helps the skin to do its job in removing toxins (I guess by physically removing barriers, or perhaps stimulating circulation?).

I don't know about the detox thing, but I am sure you will succeed to stop smoking once again . I still see you as a non-smoker anyway and until the first time I actually see you smoke in person or you send me a picture of you doing it I refuse to change my mind .

don't weant to preach but quit putting toxins into your body - that's first and foremost. right there you will feel a hundred percent better. even if it's just for two weeks. exercise and lots of water and a good colon cleansing system would help too.

hope you feel better soon!

well, i've been up for 48 minutes, had my first tea (not bad at all by the way... whew!), meditated a bit... so far, so good.

so you're right - i'm still a non-smoker!

You have $2 whores? dayum

mdiver said:

Good luck w/ the detox IB! I've never done it but I have a friend who just did a 10 day fast & she feels GREAT

CalhounSq said:

thanks! so far, so good. i have the occasional 1-second "oh, i should go and have a ciggie" urge, but that's it.

i think the Rescue Remedy is helping. plus it tastes like butterscotch when you take it straight-up... i swear to god, butterscotch!

IrresistibleB1tch said:

Perhaps I should consider this detox thing, I love butterscotch!!

...48 minutes...

IrresistibleB1tch said:

good for you!

hey, it's a start!

here's a little game, might help:

stand still and imagine (or you can use a real door) a doorway. on one side, the side where you are standing when you begin this game, you are a "smoker".

on the other side of the doorway you are a "non-smoker".

open the door and step through, then close the door behind you.

congratulations! now, you are a 'non-smoker' who is battling an occasional urge for a cigarette, instead of being a 'smoker' who is trying to quit.

worked for me, anyway

IrresistibleB1tch said:

It's true, and it's as simple as that. There's really nothing hard about not smoking. It almost feels like it's so easy it's hard.

NDRU said:

i know - the last few times, it seemed so damn easy that i just thought "oh, i can have a few, since quitting is so easy!"
