So after my six week recovery period I was jumping at the chance to get out for a run. I finally was able to do that and I started back slowly. I was having trouble though with my GI track and side stitches... I suffered from IBS after surgery and think that I still had some air bubbles left after the surgery.
I was still having some issue with the itchy autoimmune response my body had from the essure. It had come back. I was starting to worry. I then decided I needed to make sure anything left over in my body from that device and from the surgery, I needed to get the toxins pulled from my body that were lingering. I did a 3 day whole body cleanse. It really wasn't as bad as I had thought it was going to be.
I had ordered it and started it on a friday when my husband was gone for an entire weekend. It would be easier if he wasn't here I figured because I wouldn't be tempted to have a cocktail or cheat and eat something. You are not allowed to eat or drink anything else but the liquid in the cleanse. It was six bottles for 3 days of different tasting drinks. They were as bad as I had thought they were going to be. The only hard part was the caffiene withdrawal on day one and two. By day three I didn't need my coffee and I wasn't craving stuff. The not eating was hard when the boys and I went to Wendy's for lunch one day but other than that, that was the easy part. My headaches from caffiene withdrawal were AWFUL! I have to say I was really proud of myself for doing it because to be quiet honest I didn't know if I would after that first day of headaches. I knew I had to follow it if I wanted to get rid of those toxins. It was a spiritual expereince.
It worked. I did not have any more issues with feeling like bugs were crawling on my skin and the inflammation and my joints had subsided. I believe it was from doing the cleanse. Plus being on all of those drugs after surgery it helped rid the kidneys and organs from those toxins as well.
I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a cleanse...it was a three day suero cleasnse.
And yes of course I am back to drinking coffee but I am more aware of what I eat and take in as far as processed foods and chemicals. I have been focused more on eating healthier and more balanced diet with fruits and veggies and healthier snacks.
I have not blogged for quite awhile. I did the cleanse back in September and I can say I have been feeling great and I am back to running 5-6 miles and feeling back to my old self again!
Screw you Bayer!
