The Chinese measure age not by years but by the limberness of your spine.
I'll go one step further and say age is truly measured by hydration.
Skin dries out, organs dry up and wither away. Hair grows dry, gray and falls out. The bones grow dry and brittle.
You can apply all the creams and lotions you want. Basically we dry up from the inside out.
Therefore we need to hydrate from the inside out.
Easy Digestion
Why do we eat what we eat?
Are we trying to build new blood and new cells? Are we satisfying a real hunger? Or do we have a desire that can't be satisfied? A real addiction.
Are we listening to the ads and the government agencies telling us we need our protein from meat, our calcium from dairy and our roughage from grains?
Do we believe that true health and longevity can be achieved with dense candy-like bars full of nutrients that were created and added in a laboratory?
Do we really believe that we can derive usable proteins and nutrients from animal products or even vegetable products that have been cooked, cured, boiled packaged, frozen or canned?
Or are we listening to our instincts?
Our body is a perfect machine that can be ignored, tortured and abused for a life-time.
But with a slight change in diet it can begin to process real nutrients and build real health. Our body is continually trying to heal itself by eliminating the toxins we continually ingest, thereby eliminating the diseases from which we are suffering.
As the toxins build up in our system, our immunity to disease becomes more and more compromised.
All of these foods that are continually being pushed upon us by these ads and agencies have more than one thing in common. But first and foremost, they are difficult for us to digest. They are dense and dry and have very little if anything in them that our system can really break down and use. As they travel through our 30 feet of spongy intestines, they leave sticky residue behind. This can easily be seen by how sticky they are when they attempt to make an exit. Our body can hydrate and loosen these toxic residues when we give it a rest from the energy sapping digestion that these foods take. Unfortunately we continue to stuff our overtaxed systems with more and more of these sticky dense foods, never giving it a chance to clean itself out. Our intestines eventually become so clogged with these residues, that even raw nutrients have trouble getting through into the bloodstream.
The good news is: true healing and health is right there for us and it is not difficult. We may think it is impossible and difficult because we are addicted and don't know where to begin, but the secret is to start slowly.
Fit it into your present lifestyle and do not be hard on yourself.
Whether you are a vegan, a vegetarian or a meat eater, the steps are the same.
More good news: never count calories, fats, proteins, carbs or sodium again.
I will go into the steps in detail in a future post, but for now, they include the 7 steps of Detox Essentials at the top left of the page:

Our intestines eventually become so clogged with these residues, that even raw nutrients have trouble getting through into the bloodstream.
This clogging up of our system has many symptoms, but usually begins with seemingly normal problems like: constipation, headaches, sluggishness, foggy head, depression, fatigue,dry skin, oily skin, acne, rashes, constant colds, allergies, coughing and sneezing, heartburn and acid stomach, arthritis, to name but a few.
In reality, these symptoms are the body's attempt to expel these toxins. The tragedy is that we, at the advice of modern medical science, do not attempt to help the body expel them, but we suppress and add to them by ingesting even more toxic substances, namely pharmaceuticals.
Eventually the suppression of these minor ailments leads to major diseases like cancer, heart and lung disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, mental illness etc, etc.

- fresh veggie juice
- fresh raw salads
- eat fruit only on an empty stomach
- eat raw and cooked starch-less veggies with every meal {except a fruit meal)
- never eat starch and protein at the same meal
- help the elimination with bowel cleansing (not laxatives)
- make meals simple with whole unprocessed foods
A Monstrous Lie
From Anastasia:
"a monstrous lie is necessary to cover up their monstrous deeds"
They have convinced us that original, pristine man was so stupid, he had to kill animals for food.

All I Can Do
One day at a time.
I am back to my normal consumption, which if it ain't broke, why try to fix it, right?
Eating and drinking whatever I want and still feeling great and slowly getting healthier and slimmer.
I don't know why I want to stress myself out and try to hurry things up. I know that gets me nowhere. Just discouraged with a tendency to binge more for a day or two.
The day after my 1-day juice fast, I actually ate bread. Not only do I immediately feel a heavy starch like that in my gut, within a few hours I feel it in the sluggishness of my mind and see it in the puffiness in my face.
It is such a gift to be that aware of the effects of what I put in my mouth. All around me I see people absolutely oblivious as to why they feel the way they do.
It is very sad.
I realize that cleansing is a long, slow and sometimes painful process. God knows how long I have been working at it. But thank the Great Spirit for helping me and so many people to become aware of the joys of following a hydrating life-giving lifestyle.

Next Step
I'm doing so well just moseying along with this. looking and feeling better. Losing weight, however slowly.
But I want more.
I want it all!
I want perfection.
I know this has been my downfall in the past.
But I still want it.
That would mean going back to Arnold Ehret.
Systematic under-eating.
Short fasts interspersed with 1 or 2 days of cleansing diet.
Juicing juicing juicing
I will attempt to make it just 1 day of juicing.
I just had an amazing veggie juice and made enough to fill my thermos for work. I also made a big bottle of blueberry lemonade to take also.
Wishing myself luck!!

The Incredible Shrinking Woman
I have been following the lifestyle pretty well since Thanksgiving. I allowed myself to stray a little over the holidays and subsequently am still addicted to milk chocolate and have also discovered that I love white chocolate. Who knew?
I am also drinking a little more red wine than I should, but guess what!
I am down to a size 6 jeans and some of them are even a little big. Of course I have no idea how much I weigh since tossing out the scales, and I really don't care!
I am eliminating quite well, thank you very much.
I am working 6-7 days a week and feeling great!
If anyone is interested in trying this great way of life, my current favorite book is
Detox 4 Women by Natalia Rose.
