Still candida cleansing?

I haven't posted in a while. The reason for that is that I haven't been sure if I am still candida cleansing. Here is what is going on:

I began taking the Humaworm candida supplement. Halfway through I began actively passing candida from my body. Very exciting.

I then became obsessed with doing a parasite cleanse and a friend of mine offered me one. I found myself too excited to do the parasite cleanse so I stopped the herbal candida supplement and began the herbal parasite cleanse.

Simultaneously, I began reintroducing some "sugars" back into my body on a semi-regular and then regular basis. These included rice, beans, and then some gluten and actual sugar. The gluten and actual sugar have been occasional. Until today.

What is going on now is that I am still taking a parasite supplement. I will finish the candida one when the parasite one is done.  Today at work, though, there was a potluck. Portions-wise I was pretty reasonable but I did consume mostly glutinous foods and some sugar. I feel so disconnected from my body and spacey like I took some cold medicine or something. It does not feel good.

I have been attempting to balance the way I was eating before with what my body seems to be wanting now. In other words, my body does not feel good eating sugar and gluten. That is clear. I have pain in my spine and feet and all throughout. I believe it is from inflammation. I do not, however, want to be so strict with myself right now. A little bit of carbohydrate seems to be working, and with the season change I want some more warming foods.

Decision: my decision is to eat whole, unprocessed foods. I think this combines the best of both worlds for how I am feeling now. I will keep you updated.

Humaworm supplement part 2

I didn't write anything about my Humaworm supplement during the second week because it was pretty boring. Same kind of deal as the first week. The last two days have been more eventful, though. At the end of week two and beginning of week three I've had some break outs in my skin in odd places-my shoulder, chest and one large on one my abdomen. And the last two days I've been passing candida! That's right! It has been coming out in the bowl. What does it look like? Well, it is yellow and floaty and furry looking, I guess. I recognize it from a series of colonics I did where they pointed it out to me. This has been very exciting. I have had to go to the bathroom at some inopportune times, but it has been worth it to get these little buggers out. I'll let you know if there's more movement.

Food obsession

We are a culture obsessed with food. I'm sure this is no surprise. I do not own a television and one night I stayed in a hotel room and watched tv. When watching TV I realized that literally every commercial I saw flip flopped between weight loss and (usually fast) food. No wonder we are so fucked up! How can we get it straight when we are inundated with thoughts of greasy French fries followed by a compulsion to burn off those calories or starve ourselves in retribution for our guilt?

I see this so much when I am around people at work. They think it is commendable to feel guilty about eating a doughnut. I may not have the answers to the universe, but I can tell you we are not here to spend our lives feeling guilty about fried sugar and dough. But how can we enjoy it when we know how bad it is for us and how physically bad it can make us feel and how the TV (and other people) tell us all the time that we should be ashamed of what we put in our bodies? Well, I don't have THE answer to that either. I do have some answers.

One-turn off the television.
Two-eat foods, more often than not, that you buy yourself at the store. These should preferably be things that look like the plant or animal they came from.
Three-read the ingredients. If there is a word you don't understand or some vague ingredient like "natural favors" find another version of that same food that clearly lists the ingredients.

If you do this, without counting calories or carbs or proteins or pounds, for several months, you will feel better. You will look better. Your body will begin to tell you when something doesn't feel right and you will naturally be less likely to want to eat it without beating yourself up on either side of your decision. Just think-"I could spend a few months eating mostly real foods. A mere matter of months out of my life and I could change my entire relationship with food." Not so bad, eh?

What'd ya say?
