I enjoy your writings. I have been meaning to write to you for awhile; but as you say, life has been moving at a hamster-wheel pace. Although, my daughter's hamster, Natasha, died the end of June, I know very well the pace of the hamster wheel. She was an all-white breed and cute as can be. I fed her raw foods and she lived a year longer than my daughter's last two hamsters that I fed store bought seeds for. I miss her most when I make smoothies, I would give her the leftover scraps of various fruits and vegetables. Anyways....

I enjoy the writings between you and Germanflower. I look forward to moving someday back to "the real world" and getting my first colonic. Also, I know first hand what it feels like to be a "freak" of nature. My friends and family think I am so weird at times. Oh sure, they agree that everyone should eat better, exercise, cleanse, etc., but they don't do it. My husband is slowly converting and my daughter is a real trooper. Since her period started June 1, she has been eating mostly ray, exercising daily (on a treadmill at the gym that has cable TV, we do not) and reading on early menses. She never had a period in July and I am hoping that we can stave it off for a few more years.

I was busy exploring cure zone for different ways to arrest her early menses and I stumbled on Owen's writings. I emailed him and starting reading all of his back messages. The man if very well read and I highly respect what he has to say. I spent days reading the forums looking for his past posts.

I have a question for you. I have been eating raw since my last MC that lasted 8 days, but I have gained weight, am hungry all of the time and have major bloating. I am thinking of going on another MC but I also think I need to do a parasite cleanse. That is one cleanse that I haven't done yet. I ordered the capsules that have the wormwood, cloves, blackwalnut hull, etc. in and started taking them last night. I already have headaches (which I never have) and burning in my stomach. I also feel lethargic and kind of sick. My question is: can I do the MC while I am still taking the capsules? And, also, since I weight about 125, do you think I should take less capsules. Maybe I would have less side effects.

I totally agree with what you say about going to Doctors. I had a frozen shoulder in July 2001 and a contracted hip muscle (from years of running) since 1991. The orthpedic surgeon said only surgery would cure me. He even thought physical therapy was a waste of time. He said without the surgery I would never get better. Well, after finding a good Rolfer I can say that surgery would have been my downfall and I will continue to go to a Rolfer until the day that I die.

I am saving your blogs that I missed for when I go on the MC. I will reread everything for inspiration. Thanks so much. Don't stop, I know alot of people read, even if they don't respond. I respond to very few, but I read a lot. Aloha, Kathy
