Day 25.VERY INTERESTING; READ THIS (WARNING: DETOX INFO)

Hey there, phew! I got through those few hours of feeling like my stomach was going in reverse, and then just started coughing up tiny bits of phlegm. This morning I coughed up a quarter-sized lump of thick and bumpy yellow phlegm, and, since then, I've felt relatively fine. Still coughing and sneezing a bit.

The fast seems to have gone in phases:

for the first 7-10 days, I went through major minor changes, like normalized blood pressure, intense muscle strain disappearing, skin clearing, eyes brightening, etc. Feeling great.

Over the next 12-15 days, it's been all about dropping gall/ liver stones ...big ones too...average size between a pea and a dime. I've released about 50 now, I suspect, and I'm still getting rid of a couple of tiny ones. Still feeling great. The release was painless and without the use of olive oil...only the MC.

Now I seem to be in a phase of liver reconditioning (they say that that feeling of your gastro movements going upward has to do with liver imbalance), and removal of deep phlegm from my respiratory system. Still feeling great...not at all run down by the detox.

I'm figuring that, now that my liver has been cleared of obstructions, it finally can start fixing itself. I'm sure that's associated to the deep phlegm removal as well.

What's particularily interesting is that the detox has been nothing like getting sick. I feel great, but my esophagus seems to want to move in reverse, or I'm coughing like crazy. At least this was what I experienced yesterday afternoon. This is just an example. It's like sleeping but your eyes are open and you feel awake. Your body is doing stuff on various levels, but you still feel vital and alive...it really becomes like a peripheral occurrence, this detox stuff.

What's also interesting is that my weight loss has been totally unpredictable. Here's an example of the weight loss over the last week:
Friday: 2lbs
Saturday: .5
Sunday: 1
Monday: .5
Tuesday: 0
Wednesday: .5
Today: 2

I haven't been running at all this week; figured I'd take the tail end of my fast easy. I've had enemas every day, and every day I've evacuated quite a bit of stuff. No difference between yesterday's release and Monday's, for example, yet the following days showed 2 lbs and 0 lbs lost, respectively.

I am definitely one who doesn't believe in doing the Master-Cleanse for weight loss, but for me, with this cyst, it is a great measurement to remind me that things are happening in my body.

Speaking of cyst, I took my results from a year ago and 3 weeks ago. My cyst used to be 1.1 litres in volume (1 litre equals a quart, approximately). The last ultrasound showed it had grown to 1.8 litres! Almost 2 quarts of milk, that is! A big bottle of evian couldn't hold my cyst! Amazing.

I am very much looking forward to seeing the results of my next ultrasound (a week from friday, two days after the 30 day fast is over). I'll definitely keep you guys posted.

What a success this will be if I can show any shrinkage at all!

Considering I've lost almost 26 pounds and can feel that it is not as present as before, I can't imagine that the cyst would be the only thing untouched by the detox.

On to day 26!
