Day #9

Today was a nice day! I had a headache all morning, but with a lots of energy! Did my enema in the am, and still had a headache and I was feeling that something needed to come out. When I was about to do my second enema, I felt stuff moving around, went to the bathroom and lots of plaques came out, and headache was gone! What a reief!
I am learning a lot about my self with this cleanse, and also is made me rethink a lot of stuff! For example, now I am more than 100% sure that we are what we eat! Honestly, when I look at a super market, taking off the veggie and fruit section, I don't see food anymore! The way we eat is very wrong! I don't want to convince anyone, BUT I think everybody should try at least once to do a cleanse, and go raw is life changing! Can you imagine not having cravings?
Something that I notice, my mind seek clean and good energy everywhere, for example I started a clean up at the house, donating stuff and throwing out old stuff, and that feeling started out of nowhere... Pretty amazing! My body is changing but my mind is changing as well! My realiotnship with my wife has got stronger, sometimes feels like the way people view me changed as well, could be just a feeling, but sure is a great feeling!
The most amazing thing is how food is emotional! I haven't eateen anything other than juice for 2 days and I have lots of energy, and lots of stuff are coming out, is incredible and I guess the expression "full of crap" is true LOL! Because of the bad stuff that we ate (I can't call food anymore) make us "full of crap" inside. And all this stuff make us sick physically and emotionally! I guess food is the biggest part of our problems....

Juices of the day:
1st
collard coverage, celery, apples, carrot and Ginger!
2nd
Spinach, kale, green peppers, and cucumbers.

Feel good,
RW

Interesting

I am reading this book: "Cleanse and Purify Thyself" by Rich Anderson, and is opening my eyes about modern medicine, pretty much the same way That Born to Run and Barefoot Running open my eyes about shoes. So I am copying  a very interesting part of the book. I pick this part because I have a friend that had his gallbladder removed and I wish I knew this before.

"Surgical removal of a gallbladder cost $6000.00 to 10,000.00 according to FDA statistic. The patient remain in the hospital one to three days depending upon complications, and risks are relative small...... Doctors neglect to inform that they will never be normal again as weight gain, chronic fatigue, depression, and many other complications often accompany gallbladder removal. However, this symptoms progress over months and/or years so that is easy to blame on something else."
On the other hand: "Unlike conventional medicine, natural healing was not designed to to produce massive profits, but by nature to be simple, safe, and effective. For example, it is very easy to remove gallstones. The naturopathic way of removing gallstones requires about 40 min of your time, at home, and the cost may be about $4.50 for each flush. One may need 2 or 3 flushes; however the first flush can do wonders for those who have chronic gallstones accumulation."

That is crazy! Doing this cleanse  is opening my mind even more, and I love it!
On the other hand, today my wife got her period early, so we decide to email Jennifer Thompson ( she is guiding us on this detox, also she is the one that suggest to read this book) ( www.healthybliss.net )so, what happen is when you do a cleanse the your body recalibrate it self, and is possible that your body wants to clean the uterus during the cleanse, and she also said "now you are experiencing the power of cleanse" WOW, both of us were shocked! The body is an amazing machine! We just need the right fuel, raw foods of course!!!
Feel Good,

Ps: Later on I will right about day #9!

Day #8

First I like to say that I'm really grateful to have this experience, because the changes physically and mentally are amazing!!
Morning enema came out lots of stuff, even not eating for a day! Also today I had no bad cravings, the only craving that I had was for fresh fruits :))
Also after coaching my guys I got in the pool, and the result was fantastic! The reason I say that have nothing to do with performance but have to do with feeling! Let me explain, swim is my weakness in all of the 3 sports, the one that I like least to train, and I usually get bored with 500m, if is open water I love, but pool indoors, I usually get bored. So I jump in and started swim, my concentration was amazing, didn't get bored, I wanted to swim more and more non stop, that never happened before! I only stopped swimming because the workout was done and I didn't wanted to over do, specially detoxing! Amazing!
The rest of the day I had lots of energy, little headache but lots and lots of energy! Also, that made me think: food is emotional! Yesterday I didn't eat anything and today I had more energy than the day before. Conclusion, we over eat! A lot!
On another note, my feeling change and thoughts too, for example: I am feeling extra good, with really positive thoughts, feels like I have no space for negative thoughts, and this is really good. I do believe a lot on "the secret" so having no space for negative thoughts this for me is extremily good. Sometimes feels like I am having a spiritual experience.... I am not religious, but I love Buddhism and I read a lot about it, and with this detox I am feeling like my body is completely connected with my mind, and I feel in harmony! Is really hard to
describe...
The changes that I see happening with my wife is insane! Each day she is feeling better and better, and she had a harder time than me in the begging. Her change is amazing! I honestly, suggest everyone to one day have this experience.... This is day #8 that means lot more good stuff will happen!

Juices of the day:
1st
beats, celery, collard greens, apple, and cucumber
2nd
Green, red and yellow peppers, cuccumber, kale, apple and celery.
3rd
Collard greens, apple, cucumber and green peppers.

Feel good,
RW

Day #7

Today was the best day so far! I am starting to feel the bennefits of the detox, and is amazing!
So, today started pretty good, did one enema in the am, and one in the pm around 530 pm. The entire day I had just juice, herbs, and the shakes. I had a little headaches but not much, also craving were a little different, I still had some, but my cravings most of the time was for whole fresh foods! Amazing!
Today I felt lots of energy, and I started noticing some little stuff, like for me my eyes look like they have more color, my concentration is better, I am less worried and less anxious. Who knows me think I'm already like that, my wife call me Buddha sometimes, so yes I am even more relaxed than I used to be.
At night ( just now) I went to publix (where shopping is not a pleasure for me) to buy distilled water and I walked all the isles and I didn't have any cravings, but when I went to the fruit and veggies section I craved for some fruits... Is funny the body reaction and the changed. Yesterday I craved for fatty foods and today I was craving for juicy fruits and veggies :)))). I said that at publix shopping is not a pleasure because have no raw section, and the organic section is way too small ( at least the one I went).
Also I checked my body fat % and dropped already, in the end of the 14 days I will do a full before and after numbers etc.
So here are my juices for today:
1st
Kale, turnips, apple, yellow and red peppers and a little of Ginger
2nd
Plumbs, Ginger, kale, collard greens, radish and turnips
3rd
Grapes, celery, carrots, and kale
4th
Pineapple, kale and collard greens.

I added water as well but just because of my detox because I am deluding the sugar of the fruits so it doesn't slow down the detox. If I was not detoxing I would not add the water!
My experience today was out of this world, since the time I woke up I am feeling fresh with full energy! Also I had a really good night of sleep!
The goal is health but I am looking forward on how this detox will affect my performance training and racing!
Feel good,
RW

Day #6

The day today was much better, less headaches, still some but less, and since I slept more felt that I had more energy! Still had some craving!
I started the day with one enema, and that made me feel good right away! The day went normal, and since is Sunday I watch some movies with my wife :) that helped the body detox I guess cause I rested a lot!
I did another enema in the pm, and for my surprise I few plaques came out already, and I must say is a big relief in the body, omg you can feel it right away! Is amazing!!!!!
My experience so far has been amazing, and honestly everybody should do a detox like that, after a plaque came out, the feeling was so good that I have no words!
2 things I notice, my weight dropped already, and today before I got in the shower while the water was running, and the water was hot, I started to sweat. My feeling was that I was sweating fat, honestly felt that my body was putting out fat, crazy! I dont know if is possible but felt like it!
Tomorrow I think I am ready for the master phase, so that means no more meals only juices, shakes and herbs. It will be challenging but I know more plaques will come out and I will feel much better!
Oh I forgot, at night working on the computer, sending out the workouts for the week for all my athletes, today was the day that I finished faster than ever! I was so concentraded! My mind was clear and focus like never before! I can see some bennefits already! Looking forward to the rest of the detox!
Feel good,
RW

Day #5

Today was another day of expo, so it was busy! I am very happy to sell fivefingers, because the same way we eat wrong we run wrong too, but that is a whole another story....
Any way the day started good, did an enema in the am, and felt better, but I was very fatigue today! Lots of headaches and during the night was the first time I woke up to go to the bathroom twice!
To be honest, I was so busy at the expo that I did not had time to check how I am feeling lol...I was able to keep the routine with hearbs and shakes, but that's it!
One thing is for sure, cravings are getting worst! Lots of cravings specially fat craving! I even crave pizza something that I don't eat in a very long time! Crazy! And I had lots of headaches during the day....
Is funny because before I start this cleanse I thought should be easy for me, since I have been raw and vegan for awhile now, and I am an athlete! But I was wrong! My body have lots of toxins coming out! Weight wise I didn't see a difference in the scale yet, but is my imagine I am looking a lot thinner and a few people commented already....
All I can honestly say today is that my cravings for fatty and comfy foods was really hard today! I almost decided to eat everything I wanted! Funny is that even some raw foods can be really fatting is they have lots of nuts, of any type of cold press oils, but I was strong today! Almost made me doubt about the entire 14 days, now I am better mentally and ready to keep up and looking forward to have a whole new mind and body, healthier and stronger!
Feel good,
RW

Day #4

Today I woke up and did one enema, and that made me feel better right away! After I had my shake, put my new fivefingers on,the seeya (soon in store) and had one of my best runs! Felt that the energy was uncontrollable!!!! Felt super strong and effortless! After I organize all my stuff, shakes, herbs, lunch, water, and went to Miami marathon expo with fivefingers! Worked all day, energy was up and down, a few headaches here and there. After expo was done and I hit the road, 10 min into the drive, lots of cravings!!! And more headaches! Got home and had dinner ( juice this time, no more meals for dinner).
Right after dinner I felt good, but probably 20 min later I had a little headaches! Funny thing is the less I eat the more I go to the bathroom (#1 and #2 sorry but is true).
Also one thing I realize, I have been sleeping really good and deep, waking up extremely rested :). Also today I realized something: since I took fluoride out of my tooth paste my teeth gotten whiter and in 4 days into cleanse ( since we use distiled water for cleanse with no fluoride) my teeth is even whiter, can you believe? I read a lot about fluoride been bad, but didn't realize how bad it is!!!
Is funny how the body reacts, my symptoms are different than my wife's symptoms.... I am really glad that I am having those symptoms because that means that the body is putting everything out :))))
Looking forward for tomorrow, another day with one meal and another day at expo! Can't wait to be all clean :)))
Feel good,
RW
