a vicious circle...

i don't know what is wrong with me. i still obviously don't feel well. i barely drank 40 ounces of water today. i don't like to drink when i'm sick, which is probably why i am sick for longer, because my body doesn't have any water to flush the bad stuff out. but i don't want to drink anything cause i can't breathe. i need to drink more.

today was a free day so i went to Lugano's for dinner. it was okay, not my favorite this time around. i tend to like this restaurant more in the summer when fresh vegetables abound. everything seems to be fresher then.

baby spinach salad, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, feta, red onion & citrus dressing--this was good

3 pork medallions with 1/2 cup of risotto, made with chicken broth, chorizo, and wild mushrooms--the risotto was the best meal at the table

one large chicken & ricotta ravioli--so so

one bite of tagliattelle with wild mushroons, proscuitto, wilted arugula, pinot grigio, truffle oil & porcini cream sauce--never get again

one bite of grilled chicken breast with sage & lemon marinade, parmesan mashed potatoes & red wine reduction--good but plain

one bite of killer braised angus beef short ribs, porcini cream whipped potatoes with olive & citrus gremolata--horrible, fatty with no flavor

for dessert we had

pumpkin cheesecake with berry coulis, candied pumpkin seeds & whipped cream
i only ate a pumpkin seed, they said it was really good though

one bite of flourless chocolate torte with ground amaretti, mocha gelato, whipped cream, & chocolate sauce, one of the best tortes i've had in a while

none--vanilla bean & brown sugar creme brulee with fresh berries,
didn't try this but it looked good, they said it was a little watery

one bite of warm apple & walnut crisp with vanilla bean gelato, this was tasty i liked the fruit and i'm not a cooked fruit lover

sorry no pictures, it was too dark & my iPhone doesn't have a flash
no exercise
6 italian crackers
6 sesame toasted tortilla chips
8 tortilla chips with fresh salsa
12 potato chips with sour cream dip
miscellaneous samples at the store

I'm doing a cleanse....

"Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet" by Dr. John R. Christopher

Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.

The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress.

To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy, then proceed with the mucusless diet:

First thing in the morning upon arising, drink 16 ounces or more of prune juice (unsweetened, if possible). The prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which it will do, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels.

After beginning with the sixteen ounces of prune juice, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass of undiluted apple juice. Swish each mouthful thoroughly (called chewing). Then, 30 minutes later drink a glass of plain water (preferably distilled), followed 30 minutes later with more apple juice.

The general procedure is: 16 oz. of prune juice first thing in the morning, then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after that; repeating the juice and distilled water each 30 minutes throughout the day. One gallon of apple juice is consumed each day for an average size adult, or one ounce per pound of body weight. (This of course is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.)

Breaking up the mucus during the juice cleanse generally causes constipation throughout the three days. Use more prune juice if needed.

Repeat this detoxification for 3 consecutive days. Thus, approximately three gallons of mucus and catarrh will have been eliminated and will have been replaced by three gallons of juice. This has resulted in speeding up the re-alkalinizing of the system.

During the three-day cleanse, take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc.

On the fourth and subsequent days, we begin taking vegetable and fruit juices, along with raw fruits and vegetables. Then follow the mucusless diet as close as possible.
Do not be concerned if you feel weak during or after this detoxification. Our bodies are using the energies for internal housecleaning, soon an increase of energy will occur as a result of a cleaner healthier body.

Supplies that you Need:
54 ounces of Prune Juice
9 ounces of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
3 gallons of Apple Juice
3 gallons of Distilled Water

Natural Hair Bristle Brush or Loofah sponge (for dry brushing)

Garlic Oil for the Ears (soak cotton & sleep with in ears)
Epsom Salt for bath & Chickweed (for detox baths)
Vegetables (of the season) for Juicing, or buy Organic juices from the health food store.
Castor Oil, Shea butter or Olive oil for lubricating your skin after baths.
