depression

I know what you mean, I've battled with Depression for years. I don't think cleansing is going to make you more depressed. I only started the whole cleansing thing less than a month ago - at the time I was really depressed, more than I have been in 10 years. I felt like everything was out of control and my skin was bad, I was grumpy, I hated everything I ate but I craved all sorts of things, like sushi or chocolate chip cookies. And even though I wasn't really eating much I couldn't shift any weight.

After my first colon hydrotherapy I felt as though I had hit on the secret of life. I'm not kidding. I felt light and clean all over. I think it's because the toxins in the buildup on our colon walls overload our livers, and the liver then can't perform its fuction in cleaning us out. My Depression lifted a bit. Then I felt really traumatized for a few days after doing some research (prompted by the colon hydrotherapist) on parasites, and I realised that 1) I had all the symptoms of parasites (check out the parasite cleanse forum), and 2) I had all the symptoms of a sluggish liver (check out www.liverdoctor.com).

So I've done 3 colon hydrotherapies and I just started Paragone for parasites, and p&b shakes to make it all shift through me faster. I feel 10000% better than I did a month ago. I also started seeing a psychotherapist - you have to attack it from all angles! and I'm working through a couple of issues at the same time. And finally, I think I'm going to go 100% veggie, I feel it's the right choice for me.

Food and emotions are very much tied together, and our digestive system is so much more important that we give it credit for. It's an incredible thing, to process all that food into energy and nutrients for our bodies and lives. A lot of people get sick as they get older because they didn't give their digestive system the tlc it deserved.

Do some research, and find out what you feel is the right kind of cleanse for you. It's so empowering.

Right at the beginning of this my boyfriend dumped me, he said he didn't love me. I was devastated. 4 weeks later I couldn't care less. I'm looking after myself, doing things to reduce stress (like meditation for a few minutes every day, baths, and I joined a soccer team), and cleaning out my system in a really healthy, positive way. Focus on yourself for a while, your body and your mind deserve it.
