So I completed the liver/gallbladder flush a couple of weeks ago. Can I just say M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E??? Good heavens, it was a disaster!! For those of you asking about my results, I needed to distance myself from the trauma of the experience before I could write reasonably about it. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But just a [...]

Benefits of Juice Fasting, Part 2
Posted in Health, My Health Journey, Natural Remedies, Uncategorized, tagged fast, fasting, gallbladder, juice fasting, liver on October 15, 2008 | 10 Comments »
As a continuation of yesterday’s post, here are two more reasons I am enjoying juice fasting.
Extra Time
I spend a lot of time every day preparing food, eating it, and cleaning up afterwards. I am more aware of this than ever, now that I don’t have to do it! I’m also amazed by how much of my energy [...]
Benefits of Juice Fasting, Part 1
Posted in Health, My Health Journey, Natural Remedies, Uncategorized, tagged fast, fasting, juice fasting on October 14, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I never thought I could do a juice fast. Go without food? For days? Not on my list of fun things to do! Contemplating it, I even felt a little panicky. But this is my second juice fast, and I’ve discovered it’s quite a unique experience — one that I’ll continue to seek out in [...]
Liver/Gallbladder Cleansing and Hormones
Posted in Health, My Health Journey, tagged liver, hormones, cleanse, juice fast, apple juice fast, gallbladder on October 13, 2008 | 16 Comments »
It may be Monday, but I’m not working on a menu plan for the week. For the next five days, my husband and I will be consuming nothing but unfiltered apple juice.
Sigh.
I started this fast on Friday, and my husband started on Sunday, after he finished off the contents of our fridge. (What a helpful fellow!) [...]

I can’t tell you how excited I am today! I just received a package of goodies from NuNaturals. You see, after I raved about their stevia, the company contacted me and said they’d like to mail me some of their best products. So now I have lots of new items to try, including their alcohol-free liquid stevia, [...]
My Take on Gluten Free Baking

DeAnna asked last week if I have found a good gluten-free flour for baking. Hmmm…yes and no.
Disclaimer: I’m not a big baker and never have been. Cooking is my preferred activity, and it seems that almost every time I try baking, I swear it off. My baking projects turn out fine. That’s not the problem. I just [...]
WFMW: Natural Skin Care Regimen
Posted in Avoiding Toxins, Green Living, Health, Products I Like, Saving Money, tagged oil cleansing method. OCM, skin care, toxins on September 10, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Transitioning to natural self-care products has played a major role in my health quest over the past couple of years. What we put on our skin is absorbed into the blood stream and, thus, can be almost as important as the food we put in our mouths. I have experimented with a number of products, from [...]
Throat Potion No. 9
Posted in Health, Natural Remedies, Recipes on September 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m sick. Not wretchedly sick, but I feel lousy and my throat is very sore. Since I had an appointment to get my back adjusted yesterday, I asked my chiropractor for advice. He asked me what I was coughing up (I won’t describe it for you here), then prescribed the typical high doses of vitamin C, echinacea, [...]

Wow. I’ve ignored this blog long enough that I’ve started receiving hate mail! On Monday, a mysterious character using the screen name ”susan” kindly left me the following comment on my last post:
the frugality of this recipe grows more impressive with each repeated visit to your website … look, i understand it’s cheap but can’t we get another post soon [...]
