I just became an affiliate of an Herbal Newsletter. Most of the folks associated with this lovely place, were graduates of Michael Moore's Southwest Botanical School of Medicine, so I've no problem advancing the cause.........Michael was an incredible human being, and probably has done more to keep the herbal information going, then anybody I've ever heard of, at least in our generation! Check out these great links and learn, learn, learn! Blessings and Peace to all!

Plant Healer: A Journal of Traditional Herbalism

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

And just how did it get to be November, already?

Well, so, I didn't do 100 days, like I was trying to do, with the liquid/juice feasting.

What can I say......things come up, despite our best intentions. :(

I DID do eight weeks of it (I went from August 12 through October 16).

I lost 12 pounds.

Nothing too spectacular.

I have been eating on and off since October.

I don't feel very good, since I also have to take the Oxy-powder (6 of them), or I end up debilitated with terrible cramping that lasts all day, and renders me pretty useless.

It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or don't eat. It all causes problems.
Even pulpy baby-food-like food.

I did have blood-work done. Everything came back normal, with the exception of the BUN, which we expected, on account of the Hep C.

I ended up going back up to Dartmouth, and was considered for a clinical study. I won't know anything more about that, until the end of January.

I am prepping to go back on liquids, for at least the immediate future. I'll likely eat around the holidays (lightly, I hope), and then go back on a liquid/juice feast, come the first of the year.

Halloween and my birthday came and went. I don't feel any different then I did a year ago. Funny how that works.

I am busy prepping for another show (starting Feb. 1) here in town. Was slightly sidetracked by a family emergency, but am now back on track with it.

The family thing was a major upset; but I think we're through the worst of it. I know for sure, that I am.

It wasn't all bad. I reconnected with something very dear and sacred to me (Native American Medicine).

That's all I have for now, and that should catch up anyone who actually cares. :)

I will be trying again in the New Year, to hit the 100 day mark. Stay tuned!
