Mid-way Point

Well, I am halfway through the detox, and I have to say that it is amazing how poor food choices and bad habits can disrupt a healthy way of life.  You would not believe the many bodily functions that are becoming regulated simply because I recommitted to taking care of my body the way God intended me to in the first place.

I almost feel like I need to do 2 full body detoxes, but I will just have to ensure that after these 20 days are over, I don't go back to those poor habits.  If I do, I will be without excuse as I have been for the last few years.  I have to remember that I am eating to live not living to eat.

Whatever you do, please commit to giving God His due and His best because He deserves the glory and all of the praise.  If God said that we can be healed, then let's do our part to maintain and walk in that healing. If you have fallen off of the bandwagon in any shape, way, or form, don't stay there - repent, ask for forgiveness, and turn from whatever it is.  God is able to keep us from falling but if we happen to fall, He is able to forgive, deliver and restore...even in this.

Be blessed!

12 more days and counting down

Today is my 8th day detoxing and I must tell you, I am experiencing symptoms that I don't remember experiencing in the past.  However, the Dhealthstore.com Djehuty's Famous Full Body Detox Instructions does have an explanation for each one of them:

  • Body Odor: A sign that the colon is being cleansed and toxic fumes are being released via the pores of the skin - I apologize for anyone that has noticed an odor coming from me (my bad). At least it's a sign of healing and cleansing.
  • Burning Sensation in the Throat: A sign that the throat is inflamed due to compromised mucus membrane area; mucus and toxic lymph congestion in the throat area of the mucus membranes - whelp...enough said.
  • Coughing: A natural body function; a sign that the lungs are attempting to expectorate dissolved mucus via the mouth.
  • Cramping: Gas pockets in the colon are being released.
  • Dandruff: Denotes dried mucus (boogers) being eliminated externally in the head area; a sign of too much mucus in the head area.
  • Itching: A sign that the body is eliminating via the skin and that the blood is extremely acidic (which causes the itching).
  • Lethargy: A sign that the body is greatly taxed due to being toxic.
  • Perspiration: A sign of bodily elimination via the skin; a sign that the internal eliminative channels are taxed and sluggish; represents a good sign and natural function of the body's intelligence.
  • Rash on the Skin: A sign that the body is eliminating via the skin; a sign that the blood is toxic; denotes blood is being purified.
  • Runny Nose: Dissolving mucus in the respiratory tract and/or sinuses being released via the nostrils; fluidic buildup in the head area being dissolved and eliminated via the nose.
  • Sneezing: The body's way of cleansing (expelling mucus) via the nostrils of the nose; denotes excess fluid build-up in the head area being drained via the nose.
  • Swollen Lymph Nodes: Denotes the lymph system is congested and a lot of toxins are stored in the nodes and are trying to be released by the body.
The above symptoms are in addition to the normal diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, and joint pain that I have always experienced during detoxing.

What does this tell me?  That my body is indeed very toxic and that it was well past the time for detoxing.

Following this cleanse, I will take about a week off and then will begin a Blood Cleanse.

I am thanking God that He made me sick enough to realize that I needed to go back to the basics and begin to once again honor God by taking care of my body; this is the first step.

Be blessed.

I'm Back

Well, it's been a minute or two but I must say this...if God has allowed you to be healed, and to come through an incredible struggle of sickness with victory, the least you can do is honor God by taking care of your body.  I lost sight of that somewhere along the way but I'm back!  I am on a journey to honor God by going back to the basics (tribute to April Chapman), and do what it took to maintain my healing in the first place.

I started a full body detox again (courtesy of dhealthstore.com), and today is my 4th day.  I must say, I am feeling some of the same effects as I did when I detoxed prior like fatigue, being moody, having flu-like symptoms, and of course pooping (that's one of the greatest benefits of detoxing - to get rid of all of the toxins); these effects just come with the detox territory.

The last few times that I have detoxed, I was not 100% true to the program and cheated along the way.  But when I asked God for healing, I followed the detox to the letter, and this time I am determined to do that again.

For those of you interested in detoxing, it can't be just to lose weight because yes, you will lose some weight, but as soon as you begin eating cooked foods and meats, you will gain what you've lost and then some, and begin to feel sluggish and run down again.

In addition to going back to the basics with my body, I also went back to the basics with my hair. I cut it all off AGAIN, and am being true to the natural me.  For those of you that don't know, I have been natural for 7 years but with weaving, blow-outs, and all of the other stuff I put my hair through, the natural me was non-existent.  So...I'm back!

For the past 2 years I have had some failures and defeats, but I have also had some successes and victories.  The failures have made me stronger, and are making me appreciate the victories even more. If you've not been true to your "true self" or the self that God intended you to be, don't waste time worrying, regretting, pouting, and being unforgiving:

  God knew what you would do
  And already made provisions for that too 
  When He sent His only Son to die for you 
  And for me way back on Calvary
  So set yourself free 
  For God has already blessed thee 
  And given you the way of escape

So get back on track (whatever that may mean for you), and begin to live in God's most perfect will.

Thank you for hanging in there with me as I continue to journal through, and maintain my God-given healing...by the way, I AM STILL HEALED! How do I know? Well God told me so, and the blood work shows it.  Now I have to stop with the unhealthy habits so I can live out my healing as God intended from the beginning.

Be blessed!
