Re: GREAT work, you guys! Day 17

Day 17
Thanks Somer!! I've read most of your post as I have mostly beem a lurker on curezone for years. You've done some great work yourself. Thanks for the info, we will follow instructions and break our fast slowly after 21days.
I've also decided to do as suggested and exclude tomatoes during the rest of my fast.
I knew about the nightshade thing for arthritis, but couldn't bring myself to give up fresh tomotoes. Although I gave up potatoes a few years ago. We have been 85% raw food for a few years, but I continued to use tomatoes. So this will be a good experiment to see if the next 5 days of the fast, without any nightshades, will make my soreness improve further.
I've had a little achey back on the right side, sorta like referred pain from liver/gallbladder area. I've used castor oil packs over the liver area and I get good relif. We've both done many Liver Flushes and will probably do more in the future. I saved my 82 year old Mother from having gallbladder surgery by teaching her to flush. She's great and has done a number of flushes and now only has an occassional reminder, if she eats bad, to pay attention to what she's putting in her body.
Yes, we have our own colonic system at home. It's paid for itself many times over. I think we spent around $250 dollars for our setup. At around $60 a session for a professional colonic, you can quickly see the savings. We've had professional colonics and can say we get just as good results from our home system. So we are very happy we bought it. It's a colenmna board made of hard plastic. We use our own 6 gallon plastic bucket. It takes about 45 minutes to run that through and gets us clean as a whistle!
I feel great today, day 17. Think I will cut back on the juice and drink only 6 cups a day and see if I can do a little deeper cleansing these last 5 days. At age 51, I can say I am probably in the best health of my life!!

Blessings to all
