Thank you all so much for your responses!
Yes, i am a 36 year-old woman. But i have not taken oral contraceptives since i was 19, and not for very long. And the only steroids i have used were corticosteroids - prednisone and hydrocortisone. I'm not doing any western medications at this moment.
I have only about another 100 questions, but i'll narrow it down:
I may have a candida and
parasite condition, but it's not certain. I'm treating my body as if i do though. I've been on an ayurvedic sort of cleanse anyways, trying to get rid of this eye inflammation (nothing else - not even acupuncture, which worked last time i had this, though obviously only temporarily - has been effective yet. next will be the prednisone...). For the last week, been eating only kitcheree (rice/mung bean/ghee/spice mix), amaranth or quinoa, plain yogurt, and some veggies. though i use lemon, Celtic
Sea Salt , olive oil, sesame seeds, and ground flax seed for toppings. Organics are not readily available in this area though, so only the yogurt,
Sea Salt , and flax are. I do a spoonful of triphala at night (an Indian intestinal cleanse aid) and drink the
quart of water with
Sea Salt added in the morning. Then do some yoga. And i've been taking the homeopathic
Wormwood , artemisia. I don't have the cash to go all out and get every supply for either of these conditions though, since i spent too much on the naturopathic doctor (who i believe was only guessing at what my problem might be). He believed that this artemisia alone would work for parasites. There's so many products out there, i don't know which are best.
Anyways, to prepare for the liver cleanse, i cannot do apple juice or cider vinegar because of the possible candida. Is there anything else that might help in the same way?
For the same reason, i can't do
The Master Cleanse because of the maple, which was going to be my next experiment. Does anyone know of an alternative cleansing fast? I don't have a juicer here, and can't spend much money on supplies.
Oh yeah, and do you think it would be safe to do 2
Liver Flushes within 10 days of each other? My living situation is so variable (being a traveling farmworker/ laborer/etc), and this is my best chance at the moment to be somewhere comfortable and do it. I haven't had a good enough opportunity to do it for over a year.
So i did manage to make a short question long, eh? Sorry about that! I would take these questions to Andreas instead, but he's not accepting them right now. Or so his site says.
A Beautiful and interesting new year to you all. Good health, strength, and wisdom to you thru this whole year, and more...
