IOU Healing Week Five.

[Guest guest]

WEEK FIVE: agenda for myself

a.. make notations in journal regarding progression/digression

b.. scan/read juicing books

c.. throw out all makeup and start with fresh...do this every month

d.. toss all old facial moisturizers and those in large containers. (note to

self: the more you dip into a container the more bacteria is there. Limit

moisturizer container size to two ounces)

e.. begin gotu kola, ginkgo and chlorella

f.. purchase chickweed

g.. eliminate beef, pork and poultry.

h.. increase consumption of soy, cold water fish (halibut, salmon, cod,

sardines)

i.. monitor mercury reports on tuna

j.. make budget to have silver fillings drilled out and replaced with

non-mercury containing composite

k.. investigate soy products to determine which are GMO and which are non-GMO

l.. make lavender shampoo to bathe cat in once a week

Time to stop using aloe on my face and continue using the yogurt mixture as a

cleanser. The dead skin cell build up was reduced to a normal and healthy

level, my pores were opening up and could even sweat again. I found my

underarms perspiring profusely at times. It felt so good to rid myself of

excess heat. Add 3 drops glycerin tincture of chickweed per ounce of already

prepared moisturizer. (i was now using an oil free moisturizer to which i added

lavender, tea tree, chickweed, gotu kola, almond oil and grapeseed extract). I

chose chickweed mostly to experiment. I had used chickweed many times for

drawing out poisons from spider and insect bites so decided to see how it would

work on pulling impurities out of my pores. Chickweed also has some

moisturizing qualities as well as vitamin C. I begin taking ginkgo, gotu kola

and chlorella. I also began taking siberian ginseng for the adrenal calming

effect. I decided to get rid of beef, poultry and pork while i got my digestion

back on track. The inability to digest proteins adequately creates an

environment rich in polyamines which can aggravate the immune response(i.e. they

contribute to leaky gut syndrome and flood the system with large undigested

protein molecules contributing to allergies and inflammation). I particularly

like the cold water fish oils due to their EPA content and the role EPA plays in

curbing prostaglandin production and they also contain choline which is good for

liver health. I made a food facts list which i posted earlier. Cats can carry

mites, fleas etc so i decided to start bathing my cat weekly in lavender which

repels insects. The weekly baths also reduced their saliva content on their

fur. (I also keep lavender in my closets to keep moths out). I tossed all of my

makeup and started with fresh. I wanted everything touching my face as clean as

possible...no six month old makeup on these eyes. I did not wear makeup on my

face but continued to use eye make-up (shadow and liner but no mascara). My

lashes had stopped falling out in bunches and boy did they itch as they started

to grow back. Note to self: Stay focused and caught up in creating a healthy

internal vitality and the skin will reflect the balanced flame within.
