wabbitte, here's a suggestion & questions

Hi wabbitte & all,

Hope you don't mind if I relay my experience with the dry cough. I used to wake up with a very dry cough (& some during the day). When I cut my coffee consumption wayyyyy down and replaced it with water, the cough practically disappeared. I was drinking about 64 ozs./day. Although I still don't have a water distiller, I am totally convinced distilled water IS the way to go. Anyway, you might give it a try and see if it helps.

About your amalgam removals, did you have composite replacements? And did you do any detox protocols after your removal? I personally think cilantro is just excellent for removing the toxins out of the tissues. Have you tried fresh cilantro? There's a cilantro pesto recipe (do a curezone search) that is wonderful. But a word of caution, you really need to make sure your kidneys and bowels are in top shape as you definitely want the toxins to keep moving out.

About the protein, it's probably B 12 & folic acid (which may be found in protein sources--I'm thinking that B12 is sometimes a deficiency with vegetarians). And if I'm not mistaken, alfalfa contains all the vitamins & lots of minerals, maybe an organic capsulated herb would help.

And one more quick observation. I am also about your size and here lately seem to feel tired and weak a lot. Today was one of those days. About 5pm I was going to force myself to go outside as the weather was so nice and when I came in at sunset (about 8:30), it just dawned on me that I was feeling bad when I went out, but being outside I felt really good and hated to come in. Maybe it was because I was doing something I enjoy (yardwork) or maybe just the fresh air and sunshine. Maybe both.

And you have encouraged me to try the 3 day fast. Thank you.

Betty
