Master Cleanse

I am not hungry!  I keep marveling at that fact because that is what I have always had issues with on previous fasts.  But since day one, I have not been hungry, so then there is no problem with this fast.  Everyone should do it right!  Good. It has been so important to me that i had the lemonade all the time.  If i stopped drinking it for even two hours, the hunger creeps up then bashes you in the stomach!  But I only did that twice.  I got desperate and crazy a few times.  thank goodness Spencer was there to help me hold it down.  

That's the pleasant part....stop now if you don't want the gory details.

Well, I thought since I had been eating some cooked food (along with alot more raw food) that I should be packed with crap.  So it would stand to reason that I should be having healthy shits on day one and two, but i didn't.  Every thing was smooth if you know what I mean.  Nothing eventful like a colonic or an enema (Which I am a BIG fan off both) So pretty much baby dodo the whole time.  

MY KIDNEY, Oh My Gosh... I never even felt my kidney before.  I had to ask my mother what is there.  I was pulsating and hurting like a dull labor pain, day two, three, four, five, six was a little better, seven it was almost gone and eight it was gone.  It felt swollen.  It itched and felt numb.  It felt like little microscopic bugs were crawling around on the inside and biting me.  I scrubbed it in the shower with sea salt and lavender and it felt better for a while, but it came back.  Well the kidney cleans out the blood and I had my issues with iron that needed to be dumped into my bloodstream and I guess it deposited itself in my kidneys.  Well, it was cleansed.  That is one of the major benefits of the Master Cleanse, to clean the organs, especially the kidneys.  I woke up on the seventh day feeling like 999,999 bucks.  Not quite a million.

I cheated.  Yes on the eighth day, I ate grapes.  I ate one and I could not stop.  It was the sweetest grape I had ever tasted in my entire life!! No lie.  On day 10, I broke my fast with watermelon and then later on I had vegetable broth and ground food.  It went through me so sweet.  

I will do better next time I fast, by drinking more water.  I will definately fast all the time now.  It was so easy to do.  I know people that fast for a few days every month.  I think I can do that for sure.  I feel awesome and realize now, like I realized when I live in a third world for a few years, food over consumption is over rated and Americans are guilty of consuming too much food.  Just look at us and you can tell that it is true.  I feel for the children whose parents are unaware or unconcerned.

Our Local Health Food Store on BLAST

We have met so many wonderful people since Grass Root first opened its doors and everyday I learn something about people and this world that we live in.  But what do you say about a large natural Health Food Store that refuses to support a little vegan girls diet, when they are told that she is in St Joseph's Hospital getting doses of Chemo and radiation treatment.  Also her protocol has her on schedule for 3 more years of Chemo and Radiation.  They have such a large kitchen and make so much food, and they are so close to St Joseph's Hospital, it would have been very convenient for a friend to pick up enough food for Sophia who is going on three years old.  They have everything and I am sure they waste more food than Sophia could have ever eaten.  

So I am putting this local tampa Health Food Store on BLAST!  Shame on you for not helping her, damn not even a muffin a day.  They have never shown too much love, but we still support because that is the way were are and we respect their store as a family business.  But they are clearly weak, weak weak.  They simply said they are not set up to do something like that.  Whole foods said the same thing. Wack shit!  Anyway we are supporting Sophia in any way we can and if you want to do the same, email us.  info@thegrassrootlife.com
