Knitting my own lentil sandals

Only a few days into my new health regime my skin has lost the red look, my stomach is less bloated and I feel lighter.  (Haven’t weighed myself as this isn’t about losing weight). On the one hand I am pleased that it is making a difference, on the other I’m annoyed that the advise I’ve had was that I didn’t need to make any dietary changes and I’m concerned that all I will ever do is cook.

I have eaten really well today, but I have had to spend a lot of time cooking.  (2.5 hours this evening, although that includes tomorrow’s lunch and dinner too).  I suppose I just need to get back into the habit of it.  I used to cook properly every evening and somehow got lazy and relied on quicker, easier food.  I have drank a large carton of goats milk already – which made me think that perhaps I was drinking more cow’s milk than I was aware of.

I did get some strange looks today at lunch when I sat down with my oaty soup with lettuce and seaweed side dish.  Reminded me of a joke about earth mother types that ‘knit their own lentil sandals’.   Please let this lead to clear, glowing skin soon.  Pretty please

Starting again – 30 day trial

I got really run-down towards the end of last year.  The hormonally intellegent plan went out the window, I found that all the protein didn’t agree with me.  My body struggles with digestion and all that protein was too much for me at this time.

For the last couple of days I have been on a strict elimination diet and feel so much better than I have all winter.  I’ve decided to continue with it as my skin has responded really well.  This isn’t a weight-loss plan anymore as now we are ttc there doesn’t seem any point worring about how much I weigh.  This is a health plan, designed to get my body the healthiest it can be and getting the best nutrition that I can.

This is the plan so far:

Fruit for breakfast and snacks for midmorning (up to three types, not mango, grapes or melon) .

Absolute elimination of: wheat, cows milk, sugar, yeast, vinegar.

Organic meat twice a week, non-toxic fish three times a week. Two vegy days per week.

I bought ‘Cooking Without’ yesterday and am making lots of lovely food from that.

On my skin I am using in the shower a mixture of table salt, honey and olive or hemp oil.  Afterwards I am using a mixture of 90% hemp oil 10% beeswax.  It is helping to keep my skin smooth and doesn’t itch the way parafin based products do.

Hydrogen Peroxide – the results

The day after dripping acid in my ears I felt much better – about 70% improved.  My eyes had cleared overnight and the pain in my jaw had gone.  My nose was still a little blocked but I felt so much better.  I’d never had resuls that quickly before, even from antibiotics.
I repeated the treatment the next night and felt even better the next day although still had a slightly blocked nose.
Today I woke and still have slightly blocked sinuses and will repeat the treatment again later tonight.  I am really impressed by the treatment and would definitely recommend it especially in cases where you can catch it early.  It is so much better for you than taking antibiotics that disrupt the body.  Hopefully by removing the bulk of the infection, my body will now fight out the rest.

Came home, dripped Acid in my ears, watched TV

I’ve had a sinus infection for a couple of weeks now and haven’t been able to fight it.  I woke up this morning and my eyes were horrible and sticky and I felt like I had toothache although I couldn’t work out which tooth was hurting, which I now realise is a sign that the sinus infection has spread.

Normally I would think that the only way to deal with this is antibiotics, but as I have just started a course of strong probiotics (these primal defense tablets) that seemed to defeat the object.  Given that the last couple of times I took antibiotics I had a massive flare up of eczema I am reluctant to take them again if it isn’t necessary.  I rang my healer, knowing she is going on holiday in a couple of days and asked if there was anything she could do over the phone.  She recommended this link on Mercola about treating colds and flu by dripping a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide in the ear!  I have to say I thought this sounded nuts, but did some further research online and found some supporting sites.

So as the title says, I came home, dripped 3 drops of acid in my left ear and lay down and watched TV until the fizzing stopped and then repeated with the other ear.  It’s a very peculiar sensation hearing and feeling it fizz away but not unpleasant.

So I will rest tonight and see if I have any improvement tomorrow.  According to the information I have it is more effective at the first sign of cold / infection than once it is fully blown, so I may have to do a repeat dosage tomorrow.
