Flush @ MindSay

I did it!  I braved cravings and cayanne pepper and I feel great!  As of this mornings weigh in i have lost 16.5 lbs in the first 19 days.  That makes a total of 23 lbs since July 18th.  It's a signifigant start to my quest to regain a healthy lifestyle (not to mention the fashion opportunities that will come my way!  LOL)

I didn't do my SWF for the last 2 days but did the Laxative tea in the morning and night and today I had my only negatives symptoms to date.  I have had a pain in my back almost like I am getting a kidney infection.  I am doing my Flush this evening and am hoping that will flush the toxins and clear things back up.  the worst symptoms definantly come from not eliminating properly.  I'll let you guys know tomorrow is it solves the issue.

I also wanted to give a shout out to atticsmouse  for taking the plunge and joining me for her first Master Cleanse.  I hope my blog as inspired and helped prepare all who come!

Summary of the day:  Not a bad ending... Check back on the back pain! 

Spaghetti by Sunday?????? Hopeful Panda!

So... I just couldn't do it... I promised myself I would do 20 days and I can't bring myself to stop at 19.  I worked it out with the ingredients and will be finishing off day 20 tomorrow. 

I tried to get up early today to get my walk but after the psycho day yesterday I found I needed the sleep more.  I didn't do my Salt Water flush again so I had some of my Laxative tea in the morning.  I prefer to keep as close as possible to the original instructions but the tea was an option given for the people who simply can not handle the Salt water.  It's also a time saver if you just don't have the time to do the flush... it takes me about 2 hours to work all the way thru the flush.   

It took about 6 or 7 hours for the tea to work thru me and happily it did its "job" in 1 trip to the ladies room.  The flush sends me there Many times.  However...I still recomend the flush to truly clean out you system the best. 

Summary of the day... Not a bad one... A girl at work brought a BIG bowl of spaghetti and was sharing with everyone.  Ouch!  One day to go!

I had never heard of this before this summer.  Ear Stapling?  You mean a cosmetic surgery to take dumbo   sized ears and pin them closer to your head? 

Heheheh.....that is what I asked my friend T when she told me about a Chiorpractor in our home area that offers Ear Stapling.  She started laughign and told me that I watch to much Plastic Surgery:  Before and After.

Ear Stapling is a form of accupuntre that is done within your ear.  Staples are left in for a period of time.   A lot of ppl in the US use it for weight loss, but you know folks acucupuncterest aren't going to fix your over eating problems!  That is more of a inner you deal! 

Ear Stapling can be used for a variety of things from stress, to relaxation, to weight loss, to a lot of other things.  It is a form of Alternative Medicine. 

Then I got a call from T.....Guess what I did last weekend!  I said you finally killed the boys and now need a place to stash the bodies!  Of course she said no and then procceded to tell me that she got her ears stapled!  I said why!  There was nothign wrong with your ears!  You didn't look like Dumbo!  I completely forgot about this new form of treatment she was going to try out! 

T received her staples from an actual doctor.  And both the doctor and T reccomend that if you are going to have the procedure done that you go to an actual doctor and one that is regulated.  Because like any other medical procedure "normal" and alternative there are usually side effects.  And ear staplign isn't a regulated practice as of yet in many states.

There are over a few hundred points of accupuntre points in the ear and each person's ears are different and are wanting certain things out of the staples.  T went for hormonal balance and stress releif!  Boy she actually was pretty dayum nice when she was on her cycle this past week!  The doctor told her that the staples will promote the body to do what it wants to clean itself.  That you will stop craving certain foods and crave others.  You won't want to put anything "dirty" in your body.  And that you will "know" when the staples stop working because you will basically go into shock as your body comes back to it's known process. 

T asked me what my thoughts were to help "detox" her body was so once the staples stop working that she can keep up on doing what is right for her.  I said start with weekend flushes of the body.  And when you start to feel the staples slowly stop working increase it to a few days.  And do lots of Reiki to help.

Yes I am a Reiki Master.  I like using Reiki on everything I do when it concerns my health and spiritual health. 

T is hoping this helps her control her hormonal problems.  Another friend and I are watching her closely.  If it works then we are going to try the ear stapling.  But unlike our other friend.  T and I are big researchers when it comes to things like this.  We are both aware that some doctors including alternative doctors dont' like ear stapling and others do promote it.  And as a person you need to deciede if this is right for you and then you need to be very picky about who you pick to mess with your body.  Come on folks they are going to put metal devieces in your ears.......you are going to be picky about who does it.

Our friend on the other hand isn't as picky as we are.  We think it is because T and I are both mothers of very very active and intellegent children and we have learned to look doctors and such over with a fine tooth comb for our kids. 

What is nice about ear stapling if you get yourself a well trained person is that it is relatively inexpensive form of alternative medicine.  So if it does work for T, then when I go home next June, I am going to go to her chiorpractor and have my ears stapled.  By the time they need to come out I can always jaunt home to have them taken out:D

Do you avoid using public restrooms?  According to a national survey  by the National Assosiation for Constinance (NAFC), 30% of Americans avoid public restrooms, citting fear of germs as the primary reason.

Then when the deed is done, 40% say they flush the toilet by kicking the handle with their feet, rather than touching it with their bare hands.  Aoother 20% reach for paper for protecting themselves before touching the handles. 

What about when you're at home-arre you bashful?  70% of Americans say they always close the door to their bathroom door, even if they are alone.
