Re: off medication......maybe or completely

[Guest guest]

Rik,

I'm glad I gave you a boost.. stop the valerian and st. johns... you

must remember not all herbs work the same for everyone.. When I

worked with my father for high blood pressure I went thru maybe a

dozen herbs before finding something that really worked for him... so

don't take any more of those two - and just remember there is

no " quick fix " it takes time.. keep going

Hey Rik,

Excellent job so far!!! Your doing great and yes you are on the right

track. I would suggest you juicing everyday and make sure you use beets,

celery and carrots in your juice along with some raw potato juice. Dark

green leafy veggies juiced up are outstanding for detoxing the body and

giving the body the organic minerals it needs to repair and rebuild

itself. juicing these veggies will help cleanse your liver and blood. If

you can do wheat grass that will be even better. Your body needs lots of

pure water, organic minerals and organic vitamins in order to operate

properly. Lots of sunshine and fresh air too. Eat lots of fresh fruits

and don't be afraid to juice them also. Apples are very good for helping

to cleanse the blood and move stagnant lymph, along with exercise of course.

Give yourself a brief rest from the cold turkey part and juice up and

allow your body a chance to heal. The more raw living foods you eat the

better your body will respond to healing. It sounds as though you are

well on your way.
