Is This For Real???

Today is Day 13! The sun is shining, the weather is warming, and Christine and I feel great! I look in the mirror and see results that fuel my fire to finish. From a medical perspective I am also doing great. My blood sugar - 103 My blood pressure - 118/78 The urinalysis turns dark red on ketones so I am burning fat at a really fast rate. I've gotten lots of phone calls saying, "Anita, I support you in what you are doing because you are an intelligent person and I trust you've asked the right questions, but I don't understand how and why this is healthy for you? How can not chewing food and only consuming liquids be good for you? How can losing weight so rapidly be good for you? Why are colonics and coffee enemas important? What do you do after the program? I realize I've only really talked about the experience and measurable results so far, so over the next week I'm going to also going to give you the low down on the program...today I'll start with the digestive system question (#1). We live in a world that is filled with toxins (in our air, water, food, beauty and household procucts, etc.)...they are everywhere! Our bodies do release toxins through going to the bathroom and sweating, but much of them don't get released and are absorbed into our cellular system. The American diet contains a lot of crap, we eat way too much, and we don't chew our food enough. Our digestive systems weren't initially designed to do what we make them do today so they have to work overtime to process what we give them. After we eat a huge dinner, feel exhausted and go into a food coma, the body begins to work. It works all night while we are sleeping to process, disperse what nutrients we give it, and put the rest of it in our body's "trash receptable" - the colon. So really its just our mind that wakes up the morning after because the body has been working all night. When its working overtime to process and purpose it doesn't spend enough time or get to the repairing and renewing of our cells...that's when disease and decay invade. When we detox we are consuming large amounts of pure nutrients (live vegetable juice, pureed soup, juices from fruit, and herbal supplements) that feed the body at the cellular level. We purposely don't consume any of this in raw form because we want to give our digestive system a rest. This allows it to spend all of its time (whether you cleanse for 3, 7, or 21 days) repairing and renewing the body's cells. 21 days is how long it takes to completely renew and turnover a new cellular system... Ok, enough of that, I've got a great day ahead!!! I'm off for a morning walk with Samantha Jo, get a probiotic implant at 11 a.m. (more on that soon), a meeting to discuss my progress and program with Dr. Roni, and massage at 3 pm., off for another walk this afternoon, steam and sauna this evening for an hour. Yippee!!!
