The Skeptic

Cut and Dry, Black and White. That is just the way I like it. That is the only way I like it. I can already tell I am not going to like this, but I am sure some people are really going to enjoy watching me getting over this issue :-D

Not everything that my naturopath has giving me has made a noticeable difference. I am usually skeptical about what she wants me to do next. Let’s just say I am not completely converted yet. That being said I have had the same problem with regular MD’s. Some of the medications they have put me on have not been effective. But at least the medications come with warning labels, so I at least know that the ultimate adverse reaction might be death LOL!

My naturopath did not want to start treatment or do the blood tests until I was over the latest bug to hit our home. That is makes me wonder if we will ever start ;-) She did ask me to do some things to get my body ready for treatment.

I need to back up since most of you are just tuning in to all the steps I have taken getting to this point. I have had the privilege over the past year of taking a course in hard knock when it comes to major lifestyle modifications. For the better part of a year I have had to learn to not eat dairy, gluten, and sugar (all forms, including fruit). It sounds extreme and trust me it is, but if I fudge at all I pay for it in the way feel. There is a whole long explanation as to why that is, but I will save that for a different post.

So here are my newest instructions. Liver Detox. The first thing I think, probably like most of you, is this for real! (Always the skeptic) Here are the instructions she gave me which were pretty simple. Go to the health food store and get a tea and says it is for Live Detox. Drink 3 glasses a day until my appointment in two weeks. Also make sure my diet includes lots of root vegetables, but not white potatoes. (So much for In-and-Out fries :-( )

So first I have the battle within about drinking tea. It’s a black and white thing. Then I have to learn how to eat root veggies. I have barely graduated beyond the 4 veggies I always buy in the store celery, carrots, broccoli, and salad. I was just barley exploring the world of leafy dark greens and now I have to figure out root veggies.

I decided to ba a good girl and did what I was told. She said I would feel better. Would you believe…SHE WAS RIGHT! These last couple of days I have had more energy. I still get tired, but I don’t have to stop and rest. I am so excited….I am also a skeptic…I have had good days before. The real test will be if it lasts more than a few days. I can only hope.
