Hi Bex.

I haven't been at my computer much. One of my sisters got the bug that is going around and got very sick. She lives about 90 minutes from where I live and since gas is so expensive, I just stayed there.

I think by diet alone, there is enough detox going on without adding too much else to the regime, or I can find myself becoming overwhelmed with symptoms which actually doesn't tend to do me much good because the body can only detox at a rate it can keep up with. Swamp it and it goes into overload and there tends to be a backfire effect from released toxins, which tend to be re-absorbed because the body couldn't handle it and was unable to excrete it all. It's like being repoisoned sometimes.

I am so glad you wrote the above paragraph. I sometimes eat broccoli and nothing else the whole day and cleanse. I feel very good after my body gets rid of whatever it has to get rid off. This is why I don't spend my money on cleanses. Fruits and veggies do a great job. Sometimes I just drink veggie juices and the occational fruit juice. Every juice is freshly made. Cleansing in this manner gives me lots of energy.

Doctors are giving antibiotics to people getting this bug that is going around and people are getting sicker instead of better. My sister is diabetic and can't afford to have her immune system compromised. This is why I stayed with her. She didn't take the antibiotics. We use antioxidants, teas and homeopathy. She is much better.

One guy I know is still severely sick a year and a half later after only one course of antibiotics. So they are lethal. What I should have done in hindsight, is stick to my strict diet, instead of stupidly cheating and probably using some strong herbs and maybe eating garlic too.

Wow, poor guy, those antibiotics really did a number on his health.
I think you are right taking antibiotics can be quite deprimental for you. Eventhough it is easier to take them than to take the long road with alternatives, we always pay a high price.

I have to say that it is no easy not to cheat and I do it all the time. Most of the time I am very sorry but not all the time.
Natural alternatives are a life long commitment and it can get tireing and expensive so sometimes I go off the wagon.
Your problem is too serious though and I can understand why it can be deprimental.

But don't give up, there has to be something for you out there, you'll find it, have faith.

Time to go to sleep, I have to get up at 6:00 A.M.
