details of my first mini cleanse experience

I made this one up as I went along, just doing what my body wanted and trying out lots of things in a small way. I wouldn’t even really call it a cleanse really! But I do know I havent felt so good since I was a kid so it must have been doing something!

I started by oil pulling for a few days, my body wanted to fast so I did that drinking only herbal tea and lots of water. I think I ate a few light meals but I cant be sure!

I then drank OO and lemon juice (2 US oz of each) on an empty stomach at about 3pm (by chance I took it at that time, I have no idea what effect it might have had).

I forgot to have water after because I went straight out to walk the dogs but I took a pint about a half hour later. I felt extremely tired for the rest of that day and the next day after that.

I also had waves of extreme nausea which I drank ginger tea for or took aloe vera juice and that worked well. I never heard of taking aloe for nausea, and I have no idea what effect it could have had on my cleanse but I took it on impulse and it worked amazingly – my nausea almost immediately disappeared.

In the evening I juiced enough corriander for a shot of juice. It was my first juice experience. I was amazed at how long it took me to clean the machine (esp since I only got a shot of juice at the end of it lol!) Inshallah I will be trying juicing again in the future in a much more efficient way!

I continued to fast and OP for the next few days. I had energy to do exercise for the first time in about a year! So I did some yoga and it felt so good. I had so much energy so I did a lot of things like making bread and clearing out cupboards.

Then I broke my fast with fruit, roasted vegetables and vegetable broth throughout the day because I was going to the dentist and I wanted my body to be prepared for the local etc.

I continued to OP a little while after dentist but I got depressed and stopped. I ate what I wanted and that was good especially since it was healthy things I was craving. Ironically for the first time in a year I didn’t have to worry about what I was eating because I lost almost half a stone by this point (in a week! I didn’t know that was possible till finding curezone!)

I lost some time so I don’t know what happened next! Eventually (no more than a day or two im estimating) I was planning to take another lemon and olive oil drink this time before bed. In fact I am not sure if this took place before or after I went to the dentist. Im pretty sure it was after, since I remember being impatient to get the dentist out of the way in order to try it again. But this time my stomach was not empty (even though I waited about 4 hours!) and I felt very, very sick! I threw up a little and felt better. I havent counted this OO/lemon drink as part of my cleanse because I don’t know how much of it my body actually got.

I lost some more time after that, my memory is really hazy. I did take another OO/lemon mixture at 3pm one day and felt a little tired and nauseous only during that day and I got my appetite back with a vengeance the next day so I decided my body was telling me it finished cleansing and I resumed normal eating.

I don’t know how but somehow I ended up fasting again and taking the cayenne/lemonade drink. I don’t remember consciously starting the fast. I just remember somehow ending up doing it. Does this mean I have an alter who is interested in natural health too? That would be cool and weird at the same time!

Also I somehow started taking a herbal detox tincture I got about 6 months ago from Alternatives Central (http://www.alternativescentral.com). Its been working really great as I can see my tongue is white in fact I kept wondering why my tongue was still white even though I wasn’t fasting anymore but then I remembered I was taking the tincture!

Also since the beginning ive been taking hot/cold showers which has helped with the detox I think, especially my circulation and getting rid of the cellulite! I was so happy when I noticed it disappearing since everyone always says you can never get rid of it and I thought I was stuck with it! I never thought I’d get my old body back and after only two weeks I nearly have and it was no effort whatsoever!

So that was my first experience of cleansing and natural health and now I cant wait to start my next cleanse!

Just on a side note, my posts are seeming so long and wordy to me, so I have to apologise for that. I think its because im trying to figure things out as I write, since I only have half the story and I have to try and piece it together as I relate it. My memory is like half the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle if you can imagine that. So if you got this far thanks for your patience!
