Where's My Mojo? Week 8

 I recently started a Liver Cleanse and a Parasite Cleanse. I visited my girlfriend Stacey recently, and noticed how beautiful her skin was. I showed her my age spots on my face, and she told me that those spots are liver spots, which are caused by  the liver being overworked and full of toxins. Yuk!!

My very first reaction when I heard about the liver cleansing diet was…..seriously? It sounded so grim and slightly painful. I had no idea how the process was carried out or what it was supposed to achieve. Large amounts of water have to be consumed for a liver flush, which will increase the urine production and hopefully flush any toxins from the body. Decreasing the amount of saturated fat in their diet, as well as eating more fiber-rich foods is also important for people following the liver cleansing diet. So I started taking Hubner Milk Thistle, which is one of the most common of the liver cleansing herbs. This offers an increase in healthy digestion, as well as stabilizing my bowel movements. I take 3 tablespoons per day, after each meal, and it tastes kinda fruity. The other liver cleansing herbs include Dandelion Root, which increase transport of toxins to the bowel, as well as help the liver deal with trauma and stress. I take 3 tabs per day (800mg). I figured since I had been following closely to the Palio Diet of eating meet, vegis and fruit, that I could begin a Parasite Cleanse too, to help strengthen my immune system, give me more energy, and help prevent cancer and tumour growth.  Parasites occur not only in Third World countries or in those who have travelled extensively. 85% of North Americans have at least one form of parasite. This Cleanse is a 20 day Cleanse Program, containing Black Walnut, Wormwood Blend, And Cloves. It's called the Para Program, and you can get it at a health food store for around $55.

I've been on the 2 cleanses now for 14 days, with no bad side effects, no cramping or having to stay close to a bathroom. I still have the spots on my face, still hoping they will clear up. I definitely noticed lower back pain have gone away. I always thought it was due to my degenerative spine. I would have to ice it every night to relieve the lower back pain.   I just read a few articles on the internet that said, "shoulder, upper arm and  back pain can also be relieved through a liver cleanse." I am thrilled ...no more back pain. I'll definitely be doing liver cleanses a couple times a year. 

Without the back pain, I am venturing on to more creative positions in bed. Hubby is liking this a lot. I feel like I am 20 again. Life is good!!!
