Re: My journey through 42 flushes

Hi Somer,

Yeah I've been on a very strict candida diet for years, mostly because I don't tolerate any amount of carbohydrate foods.
I've seen a whole bunch of health practitioners and I haven't found any that were that effective. They mostly just don't know what to do with me. And whatever they try doesn't work. Also their approaches tend to be more for an average person, not someone who's been doing a million things for their health for a very long time. It's easier for them to take someone on a standard American diet and have them change a few things, take some supplements, and see results. Since I've already done an immense amount of stuff, they kind of seem to run out of ideas. I tend to be more health conscious than the practitioners themselves. I've felt like I'm better off just working on it myself with cleansing and such. That's gotten me better results than any health practitioners.

Even though I haven't resolved some of my main health issue, I definitely feel an overall difference in my heath from my diet and all the cleansing I've been doing. My skin feels better when I do all the flushes and mostly consume blended LifeFood. Slowly but surely I'll get there eventually. I'm kind of thinking that if most people have 2,000-3,000 stones, they might not get better till they remove most of them. So if I have over 10,000, then maybe I still have like 2,000 left in there, and I need to get those out before my liver can really start to recover and I notice a major difference.
I also feel that a big part of my issue with candida is due to heavy metal toxicity. I will have to take care of that, and I feel that the body can't detox properly until the liver is functioning at it's optimum. So I'm doing some heavy metal chelating but really focusing on the health of my liver. I think that's where real detoxification begins. I just wish I started doing this 10 years ago and knew what I know now about diet when I was in my teens and had a lot of digestive problems.

I recently got a bunch of friends and family interested in doing liver flushes. My mom did one recently and is doing one again tonight. My 15-year-old sister might do it as well, if she doesn't chicken out last minute. She couldn't finish the first batch of Epsom Salts , it was too gross, so I had to bring her some magnesium citrate. We'll see if she can down the oil.
Even my cousin and her boyfriend are planning to do the flush, and another friend of my parents'. I talked to all of them over the holidays about the flush so they got really excited to try it. My boyfriend has done it 5 times or so with me. It's good stuff!

My aunt who has cancer recently got out of the hospital after severe chemo and for the first time has been open to really changing her diet and lifestyle. So my whole family has been making a big effort to change how they do things and to serve as an example to support her. I totally thought my parents were hopeless when it comes to health. But I can't believe the changes they've made in the last couple of weeks. Especially my dad, he was just eating the most horrible things and drinking diet soda every day. My youngest sister who is 9 was eating nothing but macaroni and cheese and ice cream. It was just awful to watch. Now I look in their fridge and it's starting to look more like mine. My mom stopped using the microwave and bought a toaster oven. I've been meeting with them and my aunt and cousin a couple times a week to teaching them how to make some simple raw food that I make. Just to show them that there are a lot of better and healthier options so they can make healthier choices. I'm really proud of all of them, and my aunt is doing rather well so far. Tweet
