In December, I decided to make a concious effort to eat more natural foods (farmers markets), use more natural products (mineral makeup) and be more aware of pollutants (household cleaners) that may absorb into the body. I’ve always picked natural foods and products when given a choice, but never went out of my way to find natural alternatives. I’ve read in literature and reports that this kind of cleansing actually transforms and renews a person’s energy, skin, thinking, performance… ect. So I thought I’d give it a whirl.

Two months after beginning the process, I don’t think I’ve ever been more sick than now. I wanted to blame it on all these natural products depriving my body of the bacteria “it needs to fight to stay active and in shape”. However, I think this illness is actually caused not by what I’m putting in, but by whats coming out– years and years of toxins stored up. So I’ve been using a series of algaes, seaweeds and other cleansing naturals to detoxify the grime. Slowly becoming more and more sick… a painful process, but a good pain. In the end, I know I’ll be better for it… my body will be pleasured by the purity.
