Dr. Schulze's Incurables Program Days 16-26

Day 16

I woke up early and felt really clear and peaceful. 

I did some long overdue organizing of my bedroom. I sorted through lots of clothes and made a donate pile. I kept everything made of cotton.

Having only warn 100% or near 100% cotton outfits for 2 weeks now, it makes sense why I was so itchy all the time. No more scented soaps or body products either, unless it's a trustable brand of essential oil. I trust Purehaven products. And since being off sleep medication for 4 months now, a lavender frankincense foot rub has helped eliminate restlessness at night.

I used yesterday's leftover organic carrot juice with some green Naked juice to take my supplements this morning and still have a bottle of tea I'm drinking, plus some more garlic broth to drink. So I've got a full plate today. Everyday really. It's so much more than juicing. I took a hot/cold shower this morning and ate some raw garlic and ginger. Later I drank an early afternoon Superfood Plus drink. It contains seaweed and is so gross but has lots of B vitamins and iodine.

Around 4pm I drove to an inexpensive grocery store and bought 2 melons, 2 pineapples, 2 bags of carrots, a cabbage, a 4lb bag of oranges, and some lemons and an avocado. It cost less than forty bucks and I got four 16oz bottles full of juice just out of the melons, and a few oranges and carrots. 

The prep work from shopping to filling 4 bottles of juice was about 90 minutes, and I'll be prepping and juicing the rest of this food I bought later tonight. I need a day off juicing tomorrow and have plenty on hand in the fridge.

Juicing js healthiest when you drink your juice right away and buy organic but it is taxing and expensive. Tweak the program as you need to stay sane.

Day 17

Today I have a system in place. I drank 4 of my 5 pre-made juices before noon. I got started super early and did the seaweed powder (Superfood Plus powder) with juice. Then an hour later, the clay powder supplement with juice. Another hour later, the liver-gallbladder dropper supplement with juice, and finally, the detox supplement with juice. 

Exhale. Yes it is hectic and kind of scary to start the day with an awful tasting drink (unless you like seaweed). And then to feed your body certain nutritional drinks every hour or so for the rest of the day. 

The book tells us to wait at least 30 minutes between using the clay and the dropper bottles. Little nuances like that are causing me to be even more intentional about what I consume and when. If you're a person that likes structure and routine, you might really thrive doing this. 

Reading the book is critical to understanding our relationship with food and how to change it. Again, the book is called " There are no incurable diseases" by Dr. Richard Schulze who also operates out of a company called "American Botanical Pharmacy."

I feel great today but still physically on the weak side. That's partially my own fault for not doing any of the rigorous workouts Dr. Schulze promotes.

I have detox loose tea soaking for later, and I watched some YouTube videos on making sprouts and started 2 jars out of sesame and dill seeds. So those soak until tonight, then get strained and rinsed a few times, then shaken around in the glass jar. I wish I could share a picture here of my mother's 64 oz blue glass antique jar that I'm using for the sesame seeds.

I also discovered I had mustard seeds, caraway seeds, and a few other seeds to sprout. I ordered wide mouth fine straining lids and plan to pick up some jars in town soon. Growing sprouts feels exciting.

Did you know a serving of sprouts contains up to 10x the amount of nutrients vs the ENTIRE VEGETABLE PLANT" when grown? You can supposedly bake bread with sprouted grains, too, and I can't wait to learn.

I also ordered some organic sprouting seeds. A four dollar package of store-bought sprouts can be grown at home for under a dollar. This will be great for getting nutrition in winter as well.

Day 18

I'm learning so much more about the program still, having re-read the book a few times.

I did the cold sheet therapy today and it was rough. I modified it since I was alone and knew there was a chance of passing out. I'll list the steps of my version.

1. Prepare 6-8 cups of warm ginger tea to drink while in the hot bath.

2. Prepare rectal syringe with blended organic apple cider vinegar, distilled water, and garlic.

3. Prepare hot bath, as hot as it will pour, and let it cool down a few minutes to a temperature that is barely tolerable. Add a home made tea bag to the bath (I used a sock) with 1 oz each of cayenne pepper, ground mustard seed, and ginger. 

4. Sit in the bath and soak while drinking tea, 20-30 minutes (I got out after barely 10 minutes and tried again a half hour later and was able to do 20 minutes the second time).

5. Grab a wet cotton towel or sheet out of the freezer and use some ice to create a cold space to lay down on for 3 hours, with warmer blankets on top.

A couple hours later, I have a headache from getting up too soon from the cold towels, and I keep getting a feeling like I'm going to wail and cry or laugh really hard. So far just laughter, maybe at the ridiculousness of what I put myself through. 

A reminder I have no deadly diseases, and just want to optimize my health. Dr. Schulze believes at the root of most diseases is a blockage of some kind. It usually involves a physical as well as spiritual blockage. This program is designed to dissolve the blockage wherever it may be, returning our bodies to perfect health. 

Day 19

I could sleep all day. It's raining. It's Spring. I see little green buds on the branches outside my bedroom window.

It's the first week of May. I watched some YouTube videos with a 78 year old woman named Karyn Calabrese (CAL-uh-BRASE). She's been a raw vegan for over 50 years and looks and feels great. I decided I want to be like her and try a raw vegan lifestyle after this 30 days ends. Assuming I get my energy back. I had so much energy a couple years ago when I weaned off certain medications I was taking and began walking everyday. Then I gave up my health for a guy who liked to eat unhealthy food and also insisted on doing the cooking everyday. That combined with just being poorly treated by him took all my joy away.

Now I have such a brighter outlook. For the next 6-8 months, finding healthy produce options will be much easier. I found a farmers co-op to buy one veggie box a week May-October. I may even be able to get some produce as early as next week. I'm excited because beets are available now and I've been wanting to juice them. I heard that beet and watermelon juice go well together. I know watermelon pairs well with celery but I don't have organic celery and don't trust it any other way unless it's locally grown. I'm tired of soaking chemically laced produce in baking soda and vinegar. 

I feel like I've been lied to my entire life, we all have, about the secret to health and happiness and success. The raw vegans I've seen online seem to be living such good, magical feeling lives. They all look phenomenal. Karyn Calabrese even admits she continues this lifestyle "as much for vanity as for health." 

Who the hell doesn't wanna look and feel great? What are we willing to do to get there?

Give up coffee and cigarettes? Alcohol? Processed sugar? Well there's your answer. 

Day 20

I'm listening to Rosi Golan today and music of the sort. Good lyrics. Mood music. Good for a rainy day like today.

It's 6pm and I finally got up to take a shower. I haven't left my bedroom all day. There's no reason to.

I ate some almonds last night which were roasted and salted, when they need to be raw and unsalted to comply with this program. I seem to have been cheating almost daily now. 

Today I drank only water. I will try to do another big batch of juice tomorrow while at my sister's house. There's more grocery stores out in her area and I'll grab a bunch of melons and everything I need to last a few days. 

I can mix my juices half with water but I don't have to since I'm not diabetic. There are differing viewpoints on the safety and efficacy of sucrose in the Vegan community. Lots of vegans argue online with other vegans about what the best diet is. But one guy, you have to look him up, "Yahki Awakened" said humans, like birds, eat a diet dependent on their genes and locations. I hope I never try to tell people how to eat, but just support them in eating what works for them. People can all go on their own unique journeys. We learn the best from our mistakes so let people make them and figure it out on their own. If someone wants my opinion they'll ask.

Day 21-22

So yesterday I was too tired to blog. I went to my sister's to babysit my nephew. I stopped at Aldi and bought $96 worth of melons, oranges, apples, carrots, kiwi, mangoes, and avocados. I got chased out into the parking lot by a store employee who said I forgot to pay for a cucumber. Pretty embarrassing. 

Before my nephew got home from school, I juiced a gallon of fruits. It took 1 whole watermelon, 1 cantaloupe, and a bag of apples. It got me very comfortably through the day without having even the slightest temptation to eat anything.

Actually I had a craving for a sandwich my sister sent me home with but I waited a few minutes and the craving went away.

Today I woke up and drank the last 32 oz of juice from yesterday and took a 4 mile walk. After the walk I ate a mango and then mashed up 4 small avocados and added some pink sea salt, vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and fresh garlic. It's delicious.

Making this much juice takes a lot of preparation. Even though I'll finish the 30 day program next week, I plan on doing another 30 days. At least. I want to really focus on hydrating myself with blasts of nutrition everyday. I'm starting to turn the page but this has been rough.

Anyone doing any cleanse or detox or fast should probably plan on being pretty miserable most of the time. My next read is a book called The Molecules of Emotion. Basically it's about how just like serotonin and oxytocin and dopamine are all visible molecular compounds, so is every other emotion. I've started to consider that even "faith" as it is used to heal people, is an actual substance.

Strong's Concordance defines faith as a "literal substance" when used in the Bible verse, "faith is the substance of things unseen..." and I thought this might be a huge breakthrough in my thinking but my father is a pastor and told me I was wrong.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe my parents have been wrong. I feel like I have to unlearn so many things I was raised to believe about God...

So yeah, that's where I'm at. I think my brain is starting to think for itself which hasn't happened in a while.

Day 23

Another rainy day and I'm still tired but mentally feeling better. I feel I'm turning a new corner every morning now, and I've processed out some very horrible feelings.

Today I juiced more fruit. I got a half gallon of juice out of 1 cantaloupe, 1 bag of cranberries, and 1 bag of apples. 

Prepped for juicing before bed is a watermelon and 15 peeled oranges. 

The mornings are so much better waking up to fresh juice, even if it was made the night before. It takes fresh juice about 24 hrs to lose half its nutrient load but that's still good enough for me. I wouldn't prepare juice for more than 48 hours though.

It's later in the day... I ate some raw white beans that had been soaking for almost a week. I mixed them with some garlic and cold pressed olive oil and cayenne and vinegar just for some flavor. About two hours later I got violently and threw up all my juice and beans for the day. No more beans for me. I guess they can be extra hard to digest when they haven't been cooked.

Day 24

Today is my last day using thc. It may be legal but I learned my body produces its own form of thc (and oxytocin) and all those good feelings all by itself if I let it. 

I brought the rest of my thc products to someone yesterday facing a serious illness. It definitely helps the mind during detox and recovery. I feel pretty recovered myself and I also want to start dreaming at night again. Thc prevents that, and it also makes the day drag too long when I use it in the mornings. It puts redness in my eyes and makes me look and feel tired. It also makes me hungrier than I should be. I'm done with it.

Day 25

I slept so well last night. My patterns have been weird, though. Like I'll sleep from 8pm to midnight or so, then wake up and think about all sorts of interesting things for 4 hours, and fall back asleep when the sun is barely rising and wake again around 8 a.m.

I'm getting 8 hrs but never all at once. 

Last year I worked a night shift job 7 nights a week for 6 months straight, and it wrecked me. I had a psychiatrist once tell me that medication doesn't do any good if a person hasn't had a good night's sleep.

Rest and personal reflection is so important when it comes to healing. I learned recently that tumors secrete peptides, and those peptides go directly to the emotional processing center of the brain. There's an obvious connection between disease and emotions. All the bad waves of feelings I had during this fast were those bad feeling molecules literally coming out of me. It's hard to explain to people that you need to feel bad before you feel better, due to the way an emotional purge works.

I've started off the last 2 mornings with straight seaweed powder mixed with water and it's so disgusting, but then I don't get as weak during the day. I have plenty of fruit for juicing, and even picked up some locally grown beets at the local health food store, which re-opened yesterday. I look forward to juicing those with watermelon today.

It's later and I juiced some beets, kale, and Spinach. The juice was almost black with deep red and green colors mixed together. It was very hard to drink but rich with nutrition. The aftertaste was like I had swallowed a bunch of dirt... very earthy. I only had about 6 oz and couldn't drink the rest. I have about 12 oz left in the fridge which I'll mix with some fruit juice tomorrow to make it more palatable. It definitely gave me an energy boost and I'm kinda worried I won't get to sleep tonight. I'm looking forward to dreaming since it's my 2nd day not using any thc products. 

Day 26

My energy has improved significantly in the last couple days. I feel like I've had a shift and everything is as it should be. I love this feeling, and have been told in the past that it was mania, a symptom of bipolar illness. But it's not. It's how I and everyone else feels when we let our spirits heal.

I have no cravings for anything. My body feels satisfied and full of peace. My sister and I took her son on a little vacation out of town for the night where we can swim in a pool and shop and get some good rest. I haven't had any thc for a few days and my whole face looks brighter and more awake. I dreamt last night for the first time in a long time. I also went to the dump this morning with a garbage bag halfway full of old prescriptions, thc products, and chemically laced tanning lotion.

It's like a 50 lb weight I didn't know I was carrying has been lifted. I feel reborn.

Dr. Schulze's Incurables Program Days 1-15

 Day 1: 

Dinner and bedtime were difficult because I made hotdogs with onions for my dad and wanted to eat one so bad.

I walked 9 miles yesterday and 3 miles today. Today's walk was harder because I was so sore from yesterday.

I take an NP Thyroid prescription, which I'll continue on this program. I gave up cigarettes and alcohol during my twenties and thirties. I've done a 30 day juice fast before (ten+ years ago) and I'm not a coffee drinker. I can't imagine having one of these food or substance addictions and completing this program. 

Today I merely opened the items, read the book, and tried 2 drinks. The first was a smoothie using the Superfood Plus powder mixed with fresh juiced carrots, celery, and water. The next drink was a batch of loose leaf detox tea. I used a stainless steel pot to boil and simmer the tea 15 min, then strained into a mug. The tea has cinnamon and cloves and tastes okay without adding a sweetener. 

However, if you add the L-GB (liver/gallbladder) dropper bottle contents to your smoothies or teas, it will taste awful. I recommend just taking this separately in a couple oz of h20. Same goes for the detox dropper bottle. These are the weeks 1 and 3 supplements. I haven't tried the kidney or echinacea supplements yet. They are for weeks 2 and 4. 

I'm supposed to drink a gallon of fluids a day and not consume any food unless it's raw. I've got a juicer and blender, some whole garlic which I'm encouraged to eat 3 straight cloves per day, or even make a broth using 50 cloves! Yeah Dr. Schultze is big on garlic. He even suggests women use garlic as a vaginal suppository.

His book also advocates for doing enemas and hot/cold water therapy. Some of these procedures sound pretty scary and uncomfortable.

So I'll probably just do the nutritional aspect of this program unless I get bored. Seeing the ingredients lists on these products is like reading nature's Bible. And the two books I received with the program are phenomenal. I've never learned so much from 100 pages (referring to the book titled "There are no incurable diseases"). 

Wish me luck and stay tuned! 

Day 2:

It's 9 a.m. 

I'm not looking forward to grocery shopping for fruits and vegetables today (for juicing). I have no energy.

It's mid April and it's snowing and I just wanna stay in bed all day, and I can, since I'm on disability.

There are no exciting bathroom stories to tell, though I'll try to address that if it comes up (or out)! Lol!

I laughed so much last night and am grateful for that. Part of it was nervous laughter I think since I wanted that hot dog so bad.

For the past two years I've indulged in all my favorite foods. It was getting to the point of food not being so exciting anymore. I actually bought this program for someone diagnosed with leukemia.  A woman I go to for food health advice told me that this Dr. Schulze program cured leukemia in someone she knew. However, my friend with leukemia came to the conclusion that following such strict dietary protocol would be harder than 30 days of inpatient chemotherapy. So I was left to try it myself.

Everyone is getting sick. It's a wonder any kid survives birth in this country. 

(10 hours later)

I caved and ate an orange tonight. The hunger was unbearable and my juicer wasn't working. I couldn't find the crescent tool to remove the blade. 

So I drove to a local overpriced grocery store for some small bottles of the "Naked" brand juice, purchased 8 and drank 3 right away. I am suspicious of the "natural flavor" ingredient in these juices but emailed Dr. Schulze to get some clarification. The juice is "lightly pasteurized" which means it won't retain much of its original nutrition.

The hunger is real. I felt physically weak today but my sheer hunger got me moving. I showered and did 2 cycles of hot/cold water. Then brushed the snow off my car and ran errands at 3 stores. I bought oranges, ginger root, garlic, blackberries, lemons, limes, grapefruit, celery, carrots, and cantaloupe. Nothing was organic, I don't care.

I had a smoothie for dinner. I blended 2 tbsp of Superfood Plus with 8 oz "Naked" guava juice and added some raw ginger. The raw ginger is supposed to be consumed before detox tea, along with cold pressed olive oil, fresh garlic, and cayenne pepper. 

Drinking a gallon of fluids a day is impossible and I just know I can't do that unless it's hot out and I'm sweating. 

I actually ate more than an orange tonight. I had 3 Navel oranges and a bowl of blackberries. I soaked the blackberries in water, vinegar, and baking soda since they were not organic. 

We take good tasting nutrition for granted because we never let ourselves get hungry enough to enjoy it. I remember during my first juice fast, toward the end, I ate a ripe locally grown tomato and it tasted like steak. I'll never forget that.

Day 3

I'm up at 1 a.m., but that's what happens when you go to bed at 7:00. I'm gonna write an email to Dr. Schulze.

It's 7 a.m and I am cautiously waiting to see if I have any kind of impressive bowel movement. The book "There are no incurable diseases" addresses partially digested fecal matter stuck inside our intestines but I have yet to feel like anything beyond the ordinary has come out of me. I took 2 of the pills for "going" last night instead of 1. The program advises us to increase the use of the detox #1 supplement daily until we really "go". To be continued... 

I'll probably need to find a way to do green juices next time I shop and get some organic cucumbers and leafy greens. I wonder if I can find wheat grass...

Day 4

I had a decent bowel movement, barely formed, loose and light colored, this morning at 6 a.m. It was lacking the weight and density to be impressive, but it was like the floor dropped out beneath me and everything fell out. 

I looked up the inactive ingredients in my NP Thyroid prescription. It contains calcium stearate, dextrose, and mineral oil. Not too concerning as far as I know. The active ingredients are naturally derived from pigs. I don't like the idea of taking pig hormones daily. It worries me because a man at my church once said the devil is after our glands. I had no idea what that meant but it scared me.

It's so hard to trust medical professionals these days when it comes to what we put in our bodies. My dad's doctor has been having him limit green veggies to once a week due to being on a blood thinner. This is nuts!

I was so tired all day yesterday but did a hot/cold shower just before dinner time, blended some garlic and healthy crap together and drank it, then walked 6 miles, very slowly, with aches throughout my body like I was 90 years old.

This morning I walked some more and did another hot/cold shower. I found a 100% cotton outfit to wear (and no bra or undies because of the polyester and polyamoride).

It's 4 pm and I could go to sleep. 

Day 5

Very tired today. I stayed in bed while it rained. I napped and watched some TV. I got up briefly to shower because I've been eating raw garlic and need at least one shower a day. I scrub myself well with a 100% cotton washcloth and plain unscented soap and then put on some essential oil afterwards and hope it's enough to smell okay in case I run into somebody.

I'm too tired to write much more, but it's a good tired. I imagine this is how heroine must feel. I'm grateful I don't have any real responsibilities because I'm worthless today.

I'm weak because I still don't have a working juicer. I've been hand squeezing oranges and grapefruits but it's not enough. A friend was going to lend me his juicer but he forgot so I'm out of luck. I gotta figure out a way to get tons more calories. When I do get my hands on a juicer, I'm gonna juice carrots and oranges and ginger in huge amounts. Next week I'll step it up.

You'll be able to do this if you set your mind to it. It's so mental, fasting. I'm a huge wimp and have failed at pretty much everything in life, but this is doable. You just have to make it through the first few days and you'll know what I mean. 

Day 6 + 7

I made it to the end of day 7 and treated myself to some vegetarian Indian food. It tasted amazing. Doing this is against the program rules because the food has been heated and therefore lacks some nutritional value. But I was having a weak moment.

I'm watching my nephew all week. The best part is I get to use my sister's Breville juicer. Finally I can start enjoying this program somewhat. I was a little too eager to get some fresh juice this morning. I washed and juiced 4 carrots and 2 celery stalks and a chunk of onion, and an orange. I got immediately nauseous and threw up everything ten minutes later.

I waited a couple hours then juiced 2 carrots alone and drank it just fine. Thirty minutes later I juiced 2 apples and it was fine. So I'm guessing the onion was the culprit. 

I haven't had a massive bowel movement so I'm relieved to know my intestines are clean. Maybe those coffee enemas I did several years ago are still paying off.

I had lots of magical feeling moments today. I can hear God in that subtle way again. I'm looking forward to restoring my energy and increasing these good feelings.

I ordered a part for my broken juicer so I'll have one at my parent's house and one at my sister's. I go back and forth from one house to another. I don't really have a home right now. 

Day 8-10

I feel good. My physical energy is back. I'm not overly happy but there's an absence of any negative feeling whatsoever. Maybe intense joy will follow in the next few weeks. But I feel so clear-headed now that I would be grateful just to feel like this for the rest of my life.

My nephew and I went on a couple nature walks and took a trip to the Target store where he played with toy dinosaurs. The mall in Plattsburgh is great for young kids. He and I also did the massage chairs, photo booth, and arcade. There is a music store where we tried out the pianos, harps,and guitars, and fed the fish in the aquarium. 

I mentioned I ate Indian food on day 7. Well I returned to that Indian restaurant, called India Spice, on day 9. 

Dr. Schulze says that herbs and spices are more important to our health than vitamins and minerals.  I tried several vegetarian dishes and sauces this time. My head was buzzing. Until I had a sip of my nephew's smoothie, which contained sugar. After that single sip, my Indian food didn't taste so appealing. It was a big lesson in what processed sugar does to our sense of taste.

But today is day 10 and it was almost a perfect day. I juiced and bottled 8 lbs of organic carrots and some grapefruit and strawberries first thing in the morning. I cleaned my juicer and bottled up 3 juices for later. I think that's the way to do it. Otherwise it becomes overwhelming making tea and juice multiple times a day.

For the tea on this week 2 I've been simmering the loose kidney and bladder tea in a glass or stainless steel pot, using spring water, and enough to give me 3-4 cups a day. The program calls for using distilled or purified water only, but I'm using local spring water that I source myself and I trust it.

So the program has me doing detox tea weeks 1 and 3, and the kidney bladder tea on weeks 2 and 4. There are also 2 dropper bottle supplements for weeks 1 and 3, and some different dropper bottle supplements for weeks 2 and 4. All the dropper bottle supplements I'm using are pretty bad tasting. They are called Detox, Liver Gallbladder, Kidney Bladder, and Echinacea.

I get cravings for THC and have been using it for decades to treat what I think are my own mental health issues. However at this point in my fast I'm not craving it as much, and I like that. I don't miss any processed foods. Like I said, no bad feelings whatsoever. And it's not because my life is great I promise you. It is so not. Joy and peace come from within, not from circumstances.

Day 11

I broke down tonight and had some carrots, snap peas, and hummus. I should be making my own hummus but bought it instead.

I'm really starting to get disgusted at myself for how I've eaten the last two years. 

My skin is getting rosy from all the carrot juice.

I tried to juice blueberries today but they made a huge mess. Maybe because I bought them frozen. I poured them in a large bowl to thaw, but some were still a little frozen. I'll try the rest tomorrow once they've sat out overnight.

The weeks 2 and 4 Detox #2 supplement is an activated charcoal powder mix with tiny seeds in it for fiber. The charcoal filters impurities out of water and probably does a similar thing inside our bodies. I'm supposed to be taking it in my drinks five times a day and it is hard to keep up with that. It doesn't mix in liquid well but I find if I stir it into my glass of juice with a spoon while drinking it, it helps. Stir, sip, stir, sip, etc.

Day 12

The blueberries thawed overnight and practically juiced themselves. I was able to strain them for a full 8 oz glass, and it was delicious.

The frozen blueberries said non-gmo but Dr. Schulze would recommend fresh and organic or locally picked berries.

I had some carrots, snap peas, and hummus this afternoon. The Ithaca brand lemon garlic hummus made my taste buds dance. Hummus tastes better now than any junk food ever did. I probably should start making it myself.

I slept so well last night and I think it was due in part to eating some raw foods.

Day 13

I can't believe I've done this diet almost 2 weeks. Since adding in carrots and hummus a couple days ago I am sleeping better. Food helps us sleep in the sense that our energy gets directed at digestion instead of mental activities like thinking. The brain relaxes after a satisfying meal and I was missing that.

I think I could live on carrots and hummus. I had more today and was moaning as I ate.

Yeah I'm pretty hungry but it's not for the sustenance nutrition provides. I'm hungry for the numbing brainlessness I feel when consuming chemicals. I've had lots of deep thoughts lately and some of them have moved me to tears, even though I'm not a very emotional person. 

Today I had some leftover carrot juice mixed with Dr. Schulze's supplements. I bought the cold pressed olive oil a few days ago and incorporated it into my morning drinks. I stocked up on lots of fresh garlic and ginger yesterday and ate it raw this morning like a champ. 

Day 14

I slept better than I have in maybe years last night. I woke up and drank some Naked juice mixed with supplements and watched YouTube videos about juicing. It's going to be a beautiful day today. Hopefully I get energy up later for a walk.

I had to drag myself out if the house but I walked 9 miles. It was pretty painful. In his book, Dr. Schulze talks about getting almost to the end of a 30 day juice fast when his energy picked up again. He was kickboxing and after about 30 minutes of warm-ups, he felt the shift and knew he'd gotten to the other side.

I didn't feel that shift today. I ate some mini cucumbers and hummus, and blackberries, and drank Naked juice. I needed a break from using the juicer. Everything takes lots of energy.

Tomorrow starts week 3 which means back to using the week 1 supplements and maybe trying the garlic broth recipe. 

Day 15

So I read an article online this morning that said brocolli was bad. And I'm starting to seriously question whether the earth is round and if the sun is real.

I had to delete my Instagram a couple months ago when it seemed like a video in my feed was reading my mind. It would say the word I was thinking. It freaked me out.

What if it's not the food and vaccines making people sick, but cell phones instead. And here I am typing away.

I was too tired to do any exercise today, but I mixed some fresh carrot juice with some Naked green juice and started my Week 3 supplements. I made a broth with over 50 cloves of garlic and drank half of it. It tasted awful. By evening, I'm feeling a shift in my energy. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
