What Are You Doing Right Now?

Does your fast inlcude eating anything at all, Piaf?

I am eating very little. yesterday, I just ate a small salad and the smallest sliver of pumpkin pie that was so good. next time I take a sliver of it, i am putting extra cinnamon on it.....I also drank some orange juice with some berry antioxidant syrups in it before I went to bed. I feel pretty good today.

I am also thinking about doing the lemonade water fast again with maple syrup and cayenne pepper before Thanksgiving for 10 days again, but this time,.I am eliminating the salt water. That cannot be good for anyone.

I just have to figure out which 10 days...within the next almost 4 weeks now.

 

Grayson is going to have fun living in the basement when my brother and his wife are here next month.....
He will not be on the same floor the pugs are ever.....and I feel badly that he will be getting kicked out of his room for awhile.....ah, well.

He is turning into such a beautiful cat.....very loving one minute and the devil the next wanting to attack my hand for just petting him. I just walk away from him and go far away from him when he turns into a monster and say...."That will not be rewarded..."...and then he thinks about it, and comes back to me all nice again....lol

i think that is his way of trying to play, as he and Minxy wrestle all of the time, and . he does not realize that it hurts yet.

 

No.
Water and my meds and supplements.

Actually, salt (just a lil bit) makes sense if you're only drinking water...electrolytes and all that.

Fasting feels so good.

I think I'll go back to eating one meal a day. It's perfect for me.
I think the whole "you should eat three meals a day or five small meals" is not very true. I don't think most people need it.
Your body doesn't need to be processing food all the time. Give it some rest. If it needs something, it will let you know. But people these days are so addicted to food, I think most can't separate need from want.
Look at our ancestors...not from 1000 years ago, but our parents and grandparents.
Mine had one large meal a day and maybe a snack/smaller meal. They were lean and slim.
And they were much more active, whereas today we are very sedentary.
We try this and that diet, atkins, lchf, paleo bla bla bla...and then pay for a gym and all that.
When simply we eat too much.
Like I said, my body feels good with one meal a day or when fasting for a few days. Like...it gets much needed rest.

 

@Moonglow

What kind of orange juice do you drink?
I hope you make it yourself.


I am not a fan of juice.
I'd just eat an orange lol.

 

One thing more

I had a certain health problem for over two years.
And I've been on a 10+days water only fast.

And voila
That issue has been fixed! Maaaagic.

I don't feel comfortable talking about details of my health in public, but if anyone wants to know - PM me.

A lot of food that we consume nowadays is poison.

 

I sound like a freak lol

 

Like I'm selling a product lol

"I had this issue for two years and now it's gone. You too could do it, for only 9.99"

 

And Midsomer was great

The priest did it

 

^^^ LOL!

I agree that we all eat too much nowadays, especially considering our activity level.

But Moonglow runs those dogs for 5 miles a days or something like that, right? I'm very curious why in the world you want to go on a diet or fast! You are very trim and your activity level is good so...my goodness!

BUT a lot of us (me) eat because it tastes good!

Right now I'm going to go in the kitchen and fix Mama's supper. lol


FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD

 

No, freshly squoze orange juice I bought from the store. Nothing added. I have an easier time drinking things than eating some things.

I agree with what is in our foods can be making us sick. I will have to try to 10 day water fast....

I seem to have this roaming pain now...it goes from one place of my body to another......I looked it up and it could be sensitivity to gluten...It could be many things...most things i never heard of. I guess I have to go on the road of self healing, too....

I also want to find a new general doctor...Don't like mine anymore.....She is in it for business and not a true healer or listener and willing to think creatively outside the box, like my dermatologist guy doctor does. I will ask him for anyone he knows that might be good when I see him again next month..........So few are are true healers. i get a call from her office today....telling me the cyst in right breast is a complex cyst....and to get it rechecked in 6 months. What is that, I ask the person who called me....I don't know, they tell me...i will have the doctor call you back...

So in the meantime,.of course I go online to read what it is and read that it can be aspirated in 2 minutes with a needle...no operation to find out for sure it is nothing to worry about, and should be done right away.....

So my doctor calls me back and tells me the same thing, and i tell her what i learned and get a lecture about reading things on the internet, and she is annoyed with me. Am I not supposed to be proactive in my own health care. Any thinking person would read all about something that they could....She told me she could write a script for a breast surgeon for me then....and I tell her it will have to wait until December...as I have too much on my plate this month...and she tells me to call her back when I want it then...

But I am going to start looking for a new doctor., too, now....


as when you have to start looking over your doctor's shoulder to make sure they are doing right by you, it is time to look for a new one...Guess, that could apply to anyone or any situation.....

 

I also called the doctor who cured me of lyme's today, and he is on vacation until the end of November. However, I spoke with the person who is filling in for him right now....about the herbs i am taking......She answered my questions and told me to give the herbs another week and she set up a time to call me next week for an extensive conversation with her on the phone.

That is someone who cares....who is a healer.....my doctor there would not have anyone else fill in for him, unless he trusted them....and i just added a sentence to my above post....

I don't have to look over the shoulders of these folks to know that they are doing right by me.....They did cure me of lyme's when western medicine couldn't. i may have to go back to them....only the insurance does not cover them, of course, and they are not cheap.....

i am getting all this time and phone conversations for nothing. I told her how much i appreciated it and that talking to her made me feel better already.....I would not say that to anyone unless I meant it...Wish I could say the same to my general doctor here.

 

MD and MS are different things.. Im sure you meant MD tho.

 

Dang Moonie! :-( That doctor sounds like an ass!!! Definitely you should look for another doctor.

I'm sure there are any number of doctors that hate the internet, especially since smart people can get online and find out about as much (nay MORE!) as some docs (like your's) are going to tell.

There really is no excuse for such poor service...

I hate to hear you are going through all of this.

I have read about people changing their eating habits curing different things. My son is very much into knowledge of health, eating, muscle gain, weight loss etc. He is a true believer in fasting.

When I was younger I would do the fasting but I haven't in a while.

 

Oh, yes....MD....duh......

I am glad for the distractions sometimes of these shows.....I am a very serious person with serious thinking always....that is stresses me out...so to be able to watch ..nonsense sometimes.....is a much needed break and distraction...however,, little Ali is not a distraction....I wish she lived closer and I knew her and could spoil her and love her like crazy......

She is so cute.

 

Thank you, Lynn...i am very upset with things right now. Of course, i will get this thing aspirated and soon....

Person at hospital told me it was benign and not to worry...but something is there!!!!!!, i still thought....so today comes a different explanation....

i am supposed to wait 6 months to see if there are any changes? To hell with that idea! that kind of stress on a person does more harm than good.....dammit.

 

There is no way in hell I would be able to wait 6 months to "see if there are any changes"...oh double hell no. I, too, would be getting it aspirated asap.

That nice healer/doctor you have already used sounds like an excellent place to start.

That really blows my mind about regular Western medicine not being able to heal your lyme's disease. I've read and always been told antibiotics would cure it. About 5 years ago I had a tick on my stomach...pulled it out just like your're supposed to - intact head and all. About 3 days later I have this "bull's eye" thing ( a dark dot where the tick was surrounded by little dots) going on. I went to the doctor the next day, and talked them into just giving me a script for antibiotics rather than them making me wait for a dang blood test to screen for "miters"? They wanted to screen for something anyway (and I'm not going to stop and google it lol) but they are pretty nice and just went along with what I asked.

 

Yes, catching lyme's right away does wonders....but I got it in 2000, and no one was thinking about it that much...and i was misdiagnosed for almost a year with my symptoms until a doctor had an eureka moment to test for lyme's......and now it is an epidemic as well as other tick diseases...one that kills pretty quickly, too....now.

anyway...i was crippled by the time they knew what was going on........western medicine was failing me........but this Chinese doctor that is recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil cured me......with herbs and acupuncture...I could walk again and did not test for lyme's in my system since then.

This Chinese doctor is making break throughs with all kinds of ailments that western medicine lags behind with. he is amazing. i am lucky to have found him.

 

The thing is is that he is getting older, and I hope he has many more years to live. He was pretty well up there in age when I last saw him...quite a while ago now....he was even giving his cats herbs, and they never got sick.

 

Let us know when/if you try!

I'll do it again soon...maybe not 10+ days, but at least 4 or 5.
I have someone staying over now, for a couple of days, so I'll probably wait until the person leaves and I am on my own.
It's easier that way.

 

Ok, I will.
