Feeling great

It's 8 days since I started my detox and I must say I have increased my caps to 2 a day and I feel GREAT!
Yesterday i noticed how much more energy I suddenly have.
I have noticed that I feel lighter, have more energy and feel i have lost weight. I am also going off foods that I shouldn't eat although I have had the odd naughty food to eat!
I have introduced a couple of my friends to the detox and they both have said how they feel lighter. They have both started to become more aware of what they are eating and are very positive about wanting to detox.
Hopefully they will both be compiling a blog or adding comments to this blog.
I am putting together a detox food diary so if you go to my nutrition page in my web site you can find out all kinds of good food info.
Forgot to say....................I have found some great footage of worms and parasites that may be in your body. BUT please note this is not for the faint hearted!!

Five days later

Ate white bread on Saturday at a friends and I think in retrospect this was a bad mistake because I felt bloated and on Sunday I didnt have a bowel movement until 7.oopm.
So maybe I should stay off white bread..!

I was told that on this detox we were to eat wheat based products no more than 3 times a week. I can vouch for using a bread machine, the product that I get is organic, wholemeal and free of all additives. I am going to limit my bread intake and increase the water.
After Wednesday I will increase my capsules to 2 a day and see what happens.

First day.


Warning Note to anyone squeamish - this diary will contain graphic descriptions and pictures of poos and waste material that comes out of the bowel, liver and kidneys. So if this is a problem then don't read on....

The reason I have started this detox is because I met a great lecturer called Nik who is a Herbalist based in Northumberland. I am in the process of taking a Bio-Medicine course with the CNM in Manchester and Nik was a visiting lecturer, specialising in herbalism, who talked a lot about detoxing...

Nik said that 75% of all disease could be alleviated by detoxing. He likened the body to a car and if the oil filter is dirty and clogged then there is no point in putting new oil into it. He also gave us some brilliant natural remedies for other ailments such as headaches, varicose veins and thread veins.

As I proceed with my detox over the next few weeks I will share some of this information with you, after I have tried it out on myself, especially the vein problems!

After his lecture practically the whole class saw the value of going on a detox.

Having had chronic constipation for the last 20 years bowel movements have not been regular, to say the least.

My capsules arrived on Tues and on Wednesday 20th Feb I took my first organic vegetable capsule containing only natural ingredients.

Thursday morning I had a small bowel movement about 10am, but at around 3.30 I had another quite positive expulsion of poo....!

This happened again on Friday and Saturday morning at around the same time of 8.00am....Amazing, for someone that has never been regular.

Today is Saturday and I feel amazed at how easy it has been to poo at a similar time and in rather large substantial amounts. I also feel lighter in mind too as well as body. I feel at least like I've lost a couple of pounds in weight already.

For the moment I have done nothing different with my diet except drink a little more water, and eat home made organic muselli for breakfast.

This diary will follow my detox journey and I will include tips and ideas for better health . So until the next Blog!
