Day 7, Flushing the liver tomorrow! Well, the program has been beautiful so far. We, my friend who is doing it with me, have postponed the first liver flush because of scheduling conflicts. It's good though, as this gives us more time to adjust to the foods and get the liver primed and ready to dump all the old news!

The recipes are amazingly delicious. This is the way food should be - the highest level of healing life force and highest level of taste! Other raw foods recipie books are yummy, but don't usually cut it for super high nutrition, food combinations, and healing ingredients. I feel like I'm tasting the best of the best. It's super fun also to create new blended recipies.

I'm not feeling too much discomfort. Because of the high-level of nutrition, and the support of the herbs, this is a gentle cleanse. Good for me because I'm super sensitive and don't want my rash to get worse! The first few days the rash almost totally went away. Now I think it's back a bit because of the heavy toxic load coming out. It's not bad though, not like some of my scary full-body break-outs.

I'm not pooping as much as I should be, must have really sluggish system, so I'm upping the herbs to help and will get some aloe vera for a recipe with honey, 1/2 grapefruit, 2 tbsp flax oil, and one leaf of aloe vera. I can smell detox in my bodily fluids some, but not too bad.

Some weird cravings have come up. The other morning I was craving breakfast cereal like crazy. It was the crack cereal from my childhood! I must have been processing old petrified Captain Crunch! Cravings in general haven't been too unmanageable.

My energy level is steady - much more than the master cleanse I did 2 years ago. I'm not super energetic, but have plenty to walk around on the street and carry a backpack and bag of groceries.

The hardest thing is organizing all the herb supplements with timing of eating and applying castor oil packs. We both lead busy lives, and it's hard to manage all this. I'm committed to my health though and am doing a damn fine job so far.

Tomorrow brings the first liver flush, my first ever! Yuck, I've heard plenty of horror stories, but I'm confident that we're doing everything to prepare the body for a non-shocking event. I'm sure it will be pretty uncomfortable, but it's worth it to have my dear hard-working liver back in prime shape. Of course this may take a few of these cleanses and I'm willing to go there. Nothing's more important than my health.

Other interesting pieces - intuition, dream connection, and clear understanding of priorities and my path are coming in better and better. My circles under my eyes are disappearing also. Yeah, Longevity!
