You just never know where life will take you do you? Just when you think the ocean waves will take you to a quieter place, you get struck by a rip tide threatening to take your life.
For those of you who know me, and those of you who don't, I came into this world as a fighter and as life has marched on that skill has served me over many years. All of what I write from now on will be about my will to survive in hopes that you or someone you know will be supported with their journey by my own.
Here is a recipe for detoxing, a must do before any sort of surgery. The body must be fully supported, cleansed and immune system fortified to make any body invasion by surgery successful.
Green Juice for Detox:
1 large cucumber
4 celery sticks
handful of 4 kinds of sprouts (alfalfa, buckwheat, broccoli, sunflower)
handful of parsley & cilantro
3 kale stalks
1 small bok choy
2 cloves of garlic
1 inch ginger
1 tsp of tumeric powder
1 inch burdock root
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Juice all ingredients (except the cayenne and tumeric)
In a few minutes I am off for an IV of vitamin C and oxygen, something I am doing every other day for the next 2 weeks while in training for optimum support before and after surgery.
Fortunately I am in a sunny and most days warm climate, a true blessing to have moved down South. My vitamin D is in the high range and I make a point of sitting in the sun each day, breathing deep and relaxing for 10 minutes.
There is much more to come, sorry for the delay over the summer, I have had my hands full. May this day find you well and support by life, life is a precious thing, living well is an honor.
