That Yicky Feeling....



Peace.

I went to my family reunion this weekend In Savior Cee. Also my mother is in the hospital. Some how, some way I got food poisoning. I don’t know who or how. I did eat a lot of food not specifically prepared for me. And I am stressed about my mother being sick. I just know that things are coming out of me that are slightly disturbing and I have sharp, really sharp cramps preceding the event.

Y’all know I REALLY don’t like physicians. I know enough of them, I know how they were educated, and being a health care professional myself, I KNOW that I am worth more than a shot in the dark. I only go if I know I need something only they can do for me. 

So for this belly issue there are a few things I can do for myself. The 1st thing is too fast. According to ancient medical systems fasting always aids the body in healing. Eating takes a big toll on the body. And by not eating the body can use that energy else where. In nature, animals fast when they are unwell. When my cat is sick, he fasts and hides. He only comes out to use the litter. I do force water on him, though. Starting this morning, I have begun a liquid fast. Just drinking beverages that speak to my abdominal disturbances.  And that is the master cleanse lemonade.

Lemons are a wonderful cure for ailments! Even though very acidic, it becomes very alkaline in the body. Placing your body into alkalinity will allow it the optimum environment to heal itself. The red pepper will scratch my GI tract clean and the maple syrup is nourishing without diminishing the work of the other 2 ingredients.

I had this problem a few years a go. I was eating a lot of wheat and had diarrhea for 6 months. It was 3 months before I went to the doctor. The doctor kept giving me drugs that would clear up the diarrhea, but only as long as I took them. It took the doctor 3 visits before she realized I was looking for a cure and not medication. Yet another reason why I don’t do doctors. I got better when I removed gluten from my diet. Ever since I am funny about eating gluten products.

Maybe more fasting is something I should be doing anyway. I have been really feeling the T.H.E.M.’s eating 1/day program. But…. I really don’t feel like that is for women; especially those of us in our childbearing years. Eating 1/day is good. Eating once every other day doesn’t seem right to me. And T.H.E.M. didn’t strike me as a person that considered that men and women have more than genital differences.

My mother is coming home today so that stress is leaving me. And I am back in the bosom of my personal Cipher. So if this diarrhea continues I know that it’s not just an emotional reaction to stress. But something inside me that has to make its way out.

Send me positivity please….


Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
