Even though I am not on it, it does prevent me from eating ilegals in front of her, but BOY! I have been sneaking fudge, cookies and all the other ‘good?’ things that come with Christmas and I can really feel it doing it bad things, so am going to purge and start over. How do you feel while on the MC? What is the typical response? Wondering how it’s going to affect my ablity to keep up with the family? Hi Carole, you are going to have good days and tired days. You will have days when you won't feel so hot and then you will have days when you feel incredible. Is it worth starting even if I can’t make it the whole 10 days? Any fast or cleanse for any amount of time is better than no cleansing. Someone said they bought a ‘cheap’ juicer at Wal-Mart, anyone take note of what brand that was? Do you take your regular supplements while on a fast, or do you stop for that time? Yes this is where Suzi and I differ. You can take your supplements if you wish but if you are cleansing then you want to cleanse and not be adding anything back in. If your body is trying to digest something that is energy that is not being utilized in cleansing and restoring order. What about coffee??? Isn’t coffee a ‘natural herb? ;-) All joking aside… I have stopped it before and my biggest problem is it messes up my brain big time! I would love to ditch it, but need to be able to remember things <g>You be coffee is a natural herb, as long as it is raw and not roasted. Roasting coffee makes it mucus forming in the body. It changes the natural chemicals in the raw coffee bean and make unnatural chemicals out of it. There is nothing natural about a cup of coffee. It is not good for you in any way shape or form. It does have medicinal value but then so does arsenic. Anything I could use to help with memory instead of coffee? How long does it take for normal brain function to return once you get rid of coffee? If you are drinking coffee then you don't have normal brain function. You have a chemically induced brain function. You wish normal brain function then cleansing and fasting and getting rid of the mucus forming foods is the best you can do. You body will store mucus anywhere including the brain. This causes congestion or constipation and is what causes loss of brain function and memory. Exercise the brain and utilize the herbs that are proven to helps facilitate the oxygen transport to the brain. Too much congestion in the brain cuts down on the amount of oxygen that gets to the cells. This is where you begin to lose cognitive functions and memory. As a side note- they have tested both nicotine and caffeine in people with DS and have found both boost cognitive thinking abilities!! I believe it! The caffeine sure works for me. Gave up nicotine many years ago though and don’t remember,hhhmm…. Nicotine and caffeine are both toxic to the human body. Do they boost cognitive abilities? Sure maybe in a short term study funded by the tobacco and coffee industries or the pharmaceutical industries. A thorough body cleanse and raw food diet will boost your cognitive functions naturally and so much more than any amount of coffee or nicotine ever will. Where does your body get the omega 3’s and fats it needs on an all raw diet? Nuts? Not all nuts have Omega 3’s and is that enough to keep up with the body’s demand? You will get all the omegas you need from the fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds that you consume. Safflower, sunflower, sesame and hemp seed oil all have omegas in them. Hemp has the perfect natural blend of 3 and 6. Christime is on a grain/startch free diet which leaves you with fruits, veggies, nuts and selected dairy that has the lactose removed, and I have a hard time keeping her fat levels up. I can tell because her skin starts to dry out. When I had her stool tested, she also tested very low for those types of fats. Now that can be a good sign too as fats are the hardest to digest and if they are absent in the stool, means the body used them up. I supplement her with Carlson’s Fish oil, I add virgin coconut oil and or olive oil directly to her foods as well. She has developed a reaction to one of the nuts, and really need to go through the process of finding out which one it was, or if she even is still having a problem with it. Just couldn’t pick a day where I thought it would OK for her to have to throw up repeatedly. ;-( Carol in IL Mom to seven kids, twin grandson's and , 4 DS "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain."
