Day Three of Intestinal Cleanse, Week One

August 3, 2003

Okay, I thimk I'm getting a little bit more into the swing of things here. The biggest thing I noticed today is the continuation of the gas problem. Actually the gas has no smell (or at least my kids aren't mentioning it and they tend to giggle at anyone who "explodes" as I have been doing today), so I think that is a good thing.

What has been a little more of a surprise is that my bowels, while moving, smell horrendous. I've been on chlorophyll tablets for years and haven't had my bowels smell this bad. I kinda think maybe it's because I'm getting cleaned out really good. But I'm wondering how this will work out tomorrow at work. Our restroom is small and close to the reception area.

The other thing I've noticed is that I'm getting up at night to brush my teeth (the taste in my mouth is so bad it wakes me up) and I've even started scraping my tongue to get the white junk off of it. I'm noticing the bad breath all day long and briefly considered getting some breath mints, but then I decided that this is probably what my body needs to do to get rid of the toxins. So I'll keep brushing and scraping my tongue to help out.

I'll let you know what happens next.

Okay, all, how about I just write the whole thing at the end of the day.

Here is day two:

Everything started off fine, except I kinda sorta reneged on going to work out. Instead, I walked for an half-hour around the block (you know, fresh air, exercise and all that). It still worked up quite a sweat.

I started out this morning with a touch of a headache, not a migraine, and as soon as I drank the dragon snot, it went away. First time for that, usually, when I feel a headache coming on, I head for a dark room and pray for four hours that it isn't a migraine.

The biggest thing I've noticed today is the gas. No diahhrea, no bloating, but lots of gas. Had plenty of bowel movements, not constipated either. I had planned on today being really rough, so I was pleasantly suprised. I noted that I seem to be cravng the water, but that's a good thing. The kids joined me this morning for some Dragon Snot, that was a real surprise. And they liked it. Wow!

Had my salad for lunch and added another tomato sandwich. I'm really beginning to crave tomatoes - me, the person who used to hate them with a passion. Can my taste buds be changing along with everything else?

Now it's 5:00 and I've done a second workout down at the gym, taken the hot/cold shower thing again and am getting ready to prepare my ginger tea (yes, I finally made it to the store again).

I'll check in tomorrow evening and let everyone know how I do.

My guess it is a word perfect file? Just save your files as text so everyone can read it.I'd be interested in learning what you have to say too about the cleanse. I can't do any cleanses because I am breastfeeding still, but am very anxious to try it out. I don't know how long my daughter will breastfeed, we are almost on yr 2 and my first daughter quit at 2 1/2 yrs, so we shall see. Anyway, good luck!!!LisaSheila Burson <sbursonherbal remedies Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2003 21:18:40 -0700 (PDT)herbal remedies Subject: Re: [herbal remedies] Day One of Intestinal Cleanse, Week One
