So you may be wondering..where is day 1-10 on here?? Well it's not. I have been keeping a daily journal and right now I don't have continuous Internet service at home, so here's my chance to up-date you...IF there is any "YOU" out there. :)
After much thinking, contemplating and reading, I am back to juicing again. I am now truly Juice Fasting, rather than feasting where I drank 1 1/2-2 gallons of juice a day. Now I am taking in about 32-48oz a day of juice along with tons of water in between my juice meals. I am trying to discipline myself to stop "eating" by 6-7pm. This has worked out for me well. Too I have lost a total of 15 pounds. I am at my all time low (well, previous to 3 years ago) of 142. I feel better and better each day, especially since consistently I wake 1 lb lighter each day. I am hoping this weight loss also helps with the winter time blues. Come on, you know what I'm talking about, ok, minus the west coast!
Lastly, this juicing has really been amazing. After the first several days it has been easy-peasy. No stomach pains or anything. Too, I have detoxed A LOT more than last time. I am really enjoying that. I like to feel that my body is accomplishing great things.
So enough about me..for now. I'll share with you all my progress in a few days from now. TTFN

Viruses, Bacteria, Pathogens...Oh My!
Hello All~
Wow! This past week has been a medical experiment on myself and two of my children. (Please don't judge me:)
Have you heard of MMS? Yeah, I hadn't either until about 2 or more months ago at a small seminar where Matt and Angela Monarch were giving a discourse. Matt discussed MMS and also made available a free brochure on it. Either way, after he discussed the uses for it, my friends and I that were there ALL bought a bottle. So, like a lot of things that seem awesome at the time of purchase, it sat in my cupboard patiently waiting to cure my family of pathogens since then.
So here we are, to last Thursday. My son was diagnosed with Strep throat while at his Dad's house and I asked his Dad if I could keep him and nurse him back to health. He agreed. That night it was late and on my way to my son a light bulb went off and I realized I HAVE MMS and I recalled reading it cure Strep too, as one of its MANY benefits! So I immediately gave him a dose when we got home, as well as my 11 year old since she was bad sick, and then myself and my other two girls, just-in-case. Anyhow, long story short, since my son (while at his dad's) was diagnosed with Strep and was prescribed antibiotics- that I didn't fill (this is the part where you gasp and call me a bad Mom), I decided to have my son go to the Doctor yesterday and see if he was still testing positive for Strep. Drum roll please.... (I'm sure you know where I am going with this)...he tested negative! That is only after 7 doses (four days). Yes I am keeping him on it to follow the whole protocol, but I have been amazed!!
Too, MMS has been lengthily researched and used in other countries and you can find that info out just by google-ing it. MMS stands for Miracle Mineral Solution, and tho it seems to be a miracle, it is actually scientifically sound. You can read the creators free ebook by simply google-ing the product, or go to http://www.mmshealthy4life.com/ directly. And if you read it, you will be moved at how much this man loves people and wants to help them for free. His solution, which he gives the make-up of it FREE in his FREE ebook to any wanting to make it themselves-which is simple, has cured over 75,000 with Malaria. Also his solution eliminates Pathogens..what kinds you ask? Bacteria, Viruses, Protozoa, Fungi, Protein (like mad-cow and Jakob disease), and Parasite Pathogens. And not just Some from each category of pathogens, ALL of them!Please, for a comprehensive list go to his site, or too Matt and Angela's store and look it up. You will be amazed! ~In the U.S. the MMS has only been here for about a year. (You know how pharmaceuticals are about the easy and natural non-FDA approved stuff that WORKS!! They won't let it out to the public!! ..I digress..)
Okay., I may have cut that short:) but I really need to move on.
I have engaged in a 8-week juice feast, rather fast this time, starting today. I have eaten lightly the past few days and have already lost a few pounds. After my major juice feast in the summer-fall of last year I have bounced up and down from 145-155 (I know, no good). So now I am more determined then ever to get the remaining 25lbs (or so) off my frame. That is what I weighed merely 3 years ago when I got married!! So I am excited about feeling that good about myself again. So here's to more juicing!! Any joiners? Even if you are wanting to replace just ONE meal a day with juice? Let me know:) I'm here for you!!

No sugar, no processed food for 5 days challenge!
Kendra challenged me and my sister Amanda to do a 5 day no sugar, no processed food diet, plus, of course, her favorite: coffee enemas.
After thinking about it for a couple of days, we decided to do it. We started last Saturday, January 9th, and finished on Weds the 13th, and our results were pretty dramatic. We both lost 5 pounds, and I lost a few friends, that's right, WORMS aka PARASITES! Yuck!
When I first figured out what they were, I totally freaked out! Why did I have worms? I haven't eaten meat since last April, and don't drink milk, eat yogurt, or have cheese (I have cheese very occasionally, I'll admit it), so I never even imagined that I would have worms.
Kendra, aka Dr. K, advised me that worms and parasites LOVE sugar, so when you take away their food supply, they die. Really? I liked the sound of that, and I decided that I would do everything I could to get them out. And unfortunately, if you have 1 worm, chances are you have a lot more, since they lay eggs and stuff. I know, this is totally gross, but I lived through it.
So, once I stopped gagging and freaking out, I had to figure out what to do. Dr. K told me to eat raw pumpkin seeds and drink the 'dirt', aka, diatomaceous earth, as these things kill parasites. Yay! I'm on it.
And I went to Sunny Farms and got a ParaGONE kit by RenewLife. I've been on it since Tuesday, and let's just say 'stuff' is coming out.
So, want to see the worms? These are roundworms, and these were the biggest and worst ones... OK, so it's 1.5 worms, even better!
Bottom line is this: I never realized how much sugar I was eating and drinking, as I wasn't really paying attention, and never 'added' sugar to stuff I was eating. But open your eyes, people! Sugar is in pretty much EVERYTHING!
So what did I eat for those 5 days? Green smoothies: kale, spinach, banana, apple and blueberries for breakfast. Lunch was sometimes a half avocado, a tomato, pumpkin seeds, red potatoes, or a 'veggie's only' salad with vinegar & oil dressing and a broth-based soup. Dinner was homemade veggie soups, salads, rice noodles with sauted veggies, spaghetti squash with homemade red sauce with sauted veggies.
I think you get the picture = no sugar and nothing processed.
I have to say I actually feel really good now... it did take a few days though, and I had some emotional times when I was really angry or sad (coming off the sugar, I suspect), but I hung in there and now I'm gonna keep going. I have a ways to go, but I'm FINALLY losing weight and feeling really good.
For me, this is definitely the way to go!

Propaganda Machine
I'm starting to really feel sorry for people. There is so much conflicting and confusing health information out there by people who are supposed to be the authorities on diet. Today's front page of Yahoo Health had an article on the Top Weight Loss Foods for 2010. The foods were listed as follows - Full-fat Cheese, Pork Chops, Iced Coffees, Grapefruit, Apples, Eggs, Beans, Salmon, and Milk. Wow!
I am not making that up, they actually said minerals in pork chops can help lower prostate cancer. Some poor person is going to eat cheese and pork chops and think it's going to make them healthier because someone working for the meat and dairy industry paid to have animal products promoted as diet food!
The article also emphasised how much protein these animal foods would give you as if there is some kind of protein crisis going on in America. Look around! Everyone already eats these foods all the time and clearly the population is not getting healthier or losing weight.
To top it off Taco Bell has begun a "Drive thru diet" - unbelievable! How many people are that lazy and brainwashed that they think they can drive thru Taco Bell and have weight loss handed to them in a bag! Are we really that gullible now? Has anyone ever said their secret weapon to good health is fast food?! Don't forget to order a diet soda if you believe that one.
Please research diet and health for yourself, or better yet put it to the challenge. Try eating fruits and vegetables without all the meat and dairy and see how quickly your health and weight can get under control. Don't let slick advertising or fake "health benefits" of foods you clearly know are fattening fool you.

Junkie Nation
I was in our local Wal Mart when it hit me, I am surrounded by junkies. They are all full on addicts, and they don't even know it. What am I talking about? The most addictive substance man has ever encountered...processed sugar!
As I stared at my local Wal Mart shoppers I was absolutely amazed and horrified. From the 3 year old sitting in the cart to the 80 year old couple, they all had their carts full of it. Even the rugged looking single working man had to get his fix, what man fills his cart like an 8 year old boy?! They all had some form of soft drink, around here Mountain Dew is king, followed by either regular or chocolate milk, loaves of white bread, and finished off by some form of nasty processed meat products, yum!
They all flock to their local stores like their dealer and oh how they load up on the white stuff! Colas by the case, Little Debbie snack cakes, boxes of glazed donuts, honey buns, bags of miniature candy bars, ice cream, cakes, and cool whip! Without realizing it they are feeding an out of control addiction and an extremely harmful cycle. It seems they can't have sugar without dairy, which leads to a really effective way to completely shut off your immune system.
