Blog: Raw Juice Fast / Extreme Goddess Makeover
For me, food is a drug. Cooked food is a bad, short high. I pursue it like a junkie. And like a junkie, I can't even look at myself in the mirror after a "fix". I am an addict.
Today marks my permanent confrontation of this addiction, and my total surrender to my Higher Self to let go and let Mother Nature and the Goddess heal my wounded heart, mind and body. It is time. I am ready.
As a result of this addiction to cooked foods, I am sure that I am host to considerable and long-established candida, yeast and parasite colonies. Although I know better, I have been their servant, and when they holler "feed us", I am their slave.
I am severely overweight, and need more than a band-aid approach. The scale today reads 213 pounds. I am nearly 90 pounds overweight.
I hover on the outskirts of the raw food community, but feel ashamed to show up at events because I am so overweight, bloated and unwell. I am hypocritical and dishonest with myself. I do not practice what I preach. I am a fraud, as I KNOW that the living foods path is the ONLY one that supports me fully, both in body, mind and spirit, and yet I keep indulging myself and blaming external stresses, people and situations that trigger my need to get a quick carb fix. I know this is self-destructive, causing a negative downward spiral into lethargy, negativity and depression---that wants more quick fixes to remain numb.
Today marks my emancipation into Freedom of Mind and Body. I am PROMISING myself to remain committed to a LONG TERM JUICE FAST (nutritional fasting, adding superfoods, herbs and gallbladder/liver cleanses) to REAWAKEN my own goddess nature ..... and to remember who I am, a being of LIGHT here to SERVE EARTH and her peoples.
Because I have a pattern of raw food-junk food, I am perhaps a bit healthier than the average SAD eater. My inspiration is observing HOW SICK PEOPLE LOOK .... especially people middle aged and older, who are beginning to settle into their "disease of choice". I must break this cycle in my own life, and share this journey with others who desperately need to know that our bodies are miraculous, and that our dear Mother Nature can heal us of virtually any illness of body, and Spirit can heal us of any illness of mind and heart, if we seek it with a sincere willingness to let go.
I am willing. I surrender. Goddess, give me strength.

You sound like a lovely person and deserve this to work for you so keep on persevering. It sounds like your self-esteem is growing too hence why you are getting back on the wagon again and again. Fantastic!
I will read your blogs, but as I am new to the raw thing and am only just getting past the severe flatulence stage(!!!)I will do my research whilst this is in practice and do as much raw as I can for now, along with the innerlight SUPERGREENS supplement which really started the detox proess off!
What supplements are you taking?
All the best!!!

Hello --- Thank you so much for your support.....it adds energy to the journey....
I have a large collection of wonderfully healthy things, and I use intution and a sense of attraction to guide me to what to take each day.
I use the Vitamix for everything ... including creating fasting essentials of diluted fresh juice with MSM and a bit of stevia.
Because I need to function during the fast (as opposed to a lot of lying down!), I frequently liquify whole fruit and greens to make a diluted drink rather than juicing ... this way it is pre-digested, yet the essential material within the cell-wall is retained, as well as the fiber, although the Vitamix cuts it up so fine it is perfectly smooth --- like a milkshake.
I'm a big believer in minerals ... so I use Spirulina and Blue Green Algae, and fresh marine and sea algaes from several sources. Also take tried grasses and other sea vegetation combined with probiotics in a blend called "Nature's First Food". I also take a mineral drink I make myself with BioSil for silica and all the essential minerals in liquid form ... tastes nasty but I disquise the flavor with a bit of stevia or agave nectar. I also take coral calcium.
I take probiotics in a few different forms, as well as oils such as hempseed oil. My fave is an ultra pure, extra virgin coconut oil (VCO). I've found that I can fast on MSM lemonade and still have energy for physical work if I take a teaspoon or two of VCO when desired. VCO is good for candida as it is a natural anti-fungal. It is very soothing to the body.
I'm into herbs and take a wide variety, including formulas specifically designed to dissolve intestinal plaque. I make my own formulas, too. I'm really into fresh ginger tea which is so good for fasting, when I want something warming and comforting at night.
I use Himalayan Pink Crystal salt, and dissolve a rock in a quart if distilled water at night and drink it in the morning for a great way to start the day ... it tastes great. I also use bentonite clay, but sparingly.
When doing the liver flush, I take the formulas specific to that, for softening stones, etc.
Although I love raw cacao, I try to avoid during a long fast except in small quantities to get me through a tough spot. It is my favorite superfood, no contest!
I might have forgot a few, but that is the gist of it.
