Live Long Naturally ©2012

halfway through my tenth day and I must say this has been one of my most powerful cleansing experiences. Not so much for the age promoting waste that came out of me, but because my mind and spirit have been renewed for the following reasons:

• Fasting for 10 days with many extras (oil pulling, Epsom salt, enema, Formula #2, Neti pot, watermelon seed tea, exercise).
• Reading a wonderful book by my copywriter.
• 2 funerals this week.

I got to remembering a world when wallets didn’t have ears. I am in the business of health from head to toe, inside and out. I help people Age Less, On Purpose! More than once I’ve heard…. do what you love and the money will follow. This is true and knowing your purpose helps. Having health and abundance in what is important, can create wealth.This is the Game of Life and what the book I’m reading points out… The Golden Rule.

I blogged about my experience for the mere fact that I needed to be accountable to someone… anyone. Normally I get a group of people together, this happened to be a last minute decision. How Julie in the movie Julie & Julia managed to have a job, be married, cook a new recipe every evening, AND blog about it for an entire year, is beyond what I could fathom. Ten straight days was plenty for me. Her character inspired me. She certainly deserves to be where she is today… and KUDOS to her husband for his support.

Peace OUT!

a little bit of heaven…

I remember fasting once and being asked if I was a Hari (or Hare) Krishna… apparently, I appeared to be very enlightened and exuding love. I took that as a compliment. Today it was easy to see the world (everything and everybody) through love colored glasses.

Cleansing and fasting does absolute wonders for your body, mind, AND spirit… it can take away the need for therapy or antidepressants (that, and forgiveness of course). In Chinese medicine, the liver is associated with anger, and the kidneys fear… ahhh. When I meet really uptight people, I can’t help but wonder if perhaps they are in dire need of a major poop. The power of pooping (regularly) should not be taken lightly. It can heal you from many ailments, illness, and disease. Head to toe… it doesn’t matter.

Benefits aside… did the whole routine today… oil pulling, enema, Formula #2 twice, Neti pot, and drank just shy of 1 gallon of the Masterful drink. No exercise, but did detox my closet… feels great to get rid of stuff!

Tidbit: detoxing/fasting/cleansing can release some horribly smelling waste that even some “air fresheners” have a hard time masking. Not-a-problem. A fast and effective way to eliminate odors is to simply light a match (and extinguish it quickly). Or you can make your own natural spray by mixing a few  oils. My favorite is to mix lemon and eucalyptus. For more ideas, read the ingredients of your favorite air fresheners.

Eliminating odors should not cause more air pollution or be hazardous to your health.

7 down, 3 to go…

I once read that a short fast begins to rid our body of toxins and clean the blood. A five-day fast begins the overall healing and helps to rebuild the immune system. A ten-day fast or longer works wonders on fighting illness and degenerative disease. So… just completed Day 6, still feeling great! Ran another 3 miles in 30 minutes. I merely say this to let you know fasting can help one become strong and healthier, not weak and deteriorated.

Still releasing toxins thanks to the Formula #2 and all the extras. Many times when cleansing or fasting, bowel movements stop, which, according to some experts is perfectly fine. I disagree, but do agree with my former employer Dr. Schulze. When your body is releasing toxins, you want them coming out (rather than recirculated in you). I’ve experienced both. I can tell you first hand, you will experience more benefits and fewer side effects by having regular bowel movements while cleansing.

You can survive and thrive on liquids alone!

Aside from drinking a little less than the last 2 days (for schedule sake), began my day the same…

oil pulling, followed by Epsom salt, followed by an enema, followed by Formula #2. Amazing just how much ‘stuff’ can come out 3 days into not eating. However, had I not been using Formula #2, this much wouldn’t be coming out.

Feeling great, did 40 minutes of cardio salsa and gave a short speech this evening.

Because my diet is quite healthy and I detox somewhat regularly, I am not needing to take the laxative tea at night. Also, since I am drinking the Epsom, it is stimulating my liver and gallbladder, which is stimulating the bowel (and vice versa).

Tid bit: if you are doing the Master Cleanse beyond the first time, you may consider mixing it up a bit – like the dreaded flu vaccine changes from year to year, the Master Cleanse can be ‘altered’ to keep up with the times… the diets and lifestyles of today.

3 down 7 to go

As I wrote in my post a few days ago… the Master Cleanse was written in 1976, therefore  I tweak it (or should I say… I ADD to it) each and every time I do it.

This time I decided to start my day with oil pulling – I’ve done this before, but never with the Master Cleanse.

Feeling fine this first day… decided to run 2.5 miles

Decided to try juicing lemons – WOW, more juice, more vitamins and more life! Why didn’t I think of this before?

Because I eat healthy most days of the week and hours of the day, I don’t need to lose weight, so today I drank just shy of 1 gallon (a gallon is 128 ounces). If you are wanting to lose weight you can drink less, mix it up with water in between your Masterful drink, and/or use less maple syrup.

• Tip 1 - it’s easier to mix up a batch, such as a quart and sip throughout portion of day.

• Tip 2 – A quart lets say is equal to 3 servings, you would simply triple the recipe when making.

• Tip 3 - 2 tbsp = 1 ounce

• Note - I took TWO servings of Formula #2 – I love this stuff, no home should be without it!

CHEERS… to your best health and naturally good looks!
