Master Cleanse Day 13

For breakfast, for lunch, I had tinola - mostly the soup. While I know Burroughs cautioned against meat, I also know that chicken soups are one of the most soothing to the stomach. In fact, meat (including chicken) broth are healing to the gut lining. That's from the book GAPS diet. So I was confident in what I was doing. For dinner, I had a salad (lettuce, cucumber, mangoes, grapes with vinaigrette). And a little bit of brown rice with chicken adobo. ;)

I must admit that while I was cautious, I also experimented a little bit. I let myself taste the food in our house - being sure there would be no MSG and other harmful stuff! - but made sure to chew carefully and fully before swallowing. Seeing the almost whole stuff I puked out certainly taught me a lesson!

I also programmed my digestive system to wake up and start working, programming that what I took in would be harmonious with me, that my stomach could and would produce the right amount of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, that my duodenum would produce the right amount of secretin and cholesystokenin, and that my pancreas (all of which I blessed) would produce the right amount of enzymes. Seems to have worked! I had no more problems with my stomach. Success!

Throughout the day, I had energy - being able to go to the gym (but just one class) and felt lively and well. All good! End of the ease out! What an adventure it has been! Still, all's well that ends well. And I certainly feel well. Not just well, but extremely happy with my body. The master cleanse - with all its attendant hardships - was worth it!!!
