Day 9 of 10 Day Detox

I was really hoping that I’d have all these inspiring and life changing reactions to this cleanse that I’ve now been on for 9 official days, and about 2 weeks total in terms of laying off all of my most cherished addictions. But I must fess up that I did a fairly limiting cleanse about 1 year ago which was equally restrictive and not so much fun for a lot longer time. Now on THAT one, I will say that I did have major changes in how I felt, looked and mostly how my body reacted in a very, shall we say, biological way. So since I did that cleanse for almost 2 months, I think that it did the major work and this is just a tune up. Like when you take your car to get a full detail: that is WOW!…it’s so clean. Then, a few weeks later it gets dirty again and you wash it: it still looks so much better after the detail then if you had only kept on washing it. You get my point.

So I know that there is value to doing the detox, or I wouldn’t have done it. After all, I’m not a masochist! But, in actuality, although you can improve many issues with such a cleanse/detox (I use these terms synonymously), I actually think that the anti-inflammatory diet might be better for your health, food combining better for loosing weight, Glycemic Index diet better for lowering insulin resistance which can help loose weight, although a good liver or gallbladder cleanse can certainly help flush these two important organs and give them a well needed rest. So there is certainly benefits. And, admittedly, I didn’t do any base line measurements before this cleanse, so it is possible that I could have lowered my cholesterol, my blood pressure doesn’t need lowering, I might have lost some weight (not perceptibly) , and maybe my liver is whistling dixie that I gave it the equivalent of a ticket to Maui….

So far I had no crashes, cravings, skin brake outs, elimination issues, fatigue or any of the other nefarious reactions associated with liver cleansing. I can say that my hand/wrist pain was reduced to almost zero during the almost completed 10 days. So I can’t complain….

or can I?

That’s maybe one of the worst aspects of doing this type of voluntary cleanse: no one has any sympathy for you! You are good company however since you are a cheap date, one less person to share the bottle with, and one less spoon for that dessert plate…..

Well maybe all the incredible benefits will make themselves known POST the 10 day period. You will have to tune in here to find out….
