Well day 11 thru day 12 was interesting. I posted yesterday that so far I didn't think I was experiencing very much detox. Well, I increased the pepper in the lemonade recipe and within half a day (yesterday) I began to accumulate a thick yellow paste on my tongue. It had a bitter metalic taste. Along with this I experienced some pretty intense druglike effects: drowsiness, euporia, and funny little "brain-flips". My sense of it is that I was passing off small amounts of anaesthesia and narcotics from the many surgeries I've had over the years. This morning I woke up early for the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and noticed that the texture of my skin had become noticeably smoother over the night. I've had a kind of exema or rash on my chest for years that I picked up traveling Asia. It also was noticeably dimminished, but not cured. I felt sluggish and very sleepy off and on through most of the day and my wife siad she was worried because I looked pale.

Tonight I made a strong garlic enema and took a long hard shower - scrubbed my skin with a loofa and am now settling down for my evening tea. So far, not much noticable old debris in my BMs though. Lots of pepper and thousands of little white specks.

Anyway, things seem to be going well so far. I'll continue to use generous doses of pepper in my drink. Also, I think I need to drink extra water in addition to the lemonade. Has anyone else woken up in the morning feeling dehydrated?

Oh! and my wife finished her second day!

Cheers to everyone who's doing the fast right now. I wish you all success. Will check back in tomorrow.

And thanks again Tiffany for the advice. Much appreciated.
