This morning I weighed 167.

I have been strictly following this diet for two weeks now.  I have lost 8 pounds, and I am beginning to feel a difference in my energy level.  The last 2 days I have been feeling stronger and have not had noticeable headaches.  I am encouraged!

I have searched out more of the herbs suggested in the chapters that pertain to my symptoms (which includes most of the chapters), so I have a large variety of helpful herbs and foods I am using.

Some herbs I am making into tea, like a combination of anise seeds, ginseng (Chinese and American), valerian, water hyssop, red clover, licorice root, cinnamon powder, and stevia leaf.  I have to say, this tea tastes delicious!

Some I am taking in capsule form, like ashwaganda, vitamin B12, herbal pumpkin, master gland formula, urinary maintenance, l-lysene, hydrangea, sage, CoQ10, VS-C, MSM, astragalus, magnesium, and rose hips.

For the most part, I am using Nature Sunshine products for the capsules, because I have them from working with a naturopath over ten ago.  I never got rid of the capsules.  Most of the herbs are old, but I believe in using them up before buying new.  The combination capsules, like urinary maintenance, for example, have herbs in them that are recommended by the book “Medical Medium”.  When I run out, I will get the herbs individually, possibly.

I am still eating the smoothies; as well as fruit — like raspberries, apples, apricots, and bananas, and supplementing with Brazil nuts and walnuts, all of which are recommended.  Sometimes I want other foods but I don’t crave them.  I limit myself to only the foods recommended in the book.

When I am resting my body feels like it is vibrating at a finer lever, and not at a gross level like I feel when I am sick.

I will post only occasionally about this from now on — especially when I feel I’ve made breakthroughs.  I intend to continue this way of eating for at least 40 days, and very probably longer.
