Good Evening to all my junkie pals, quick update for anybody interested. First of all, I've had no coffee since either Friday or Saturday. I'd like to say no caffeine but I've had a couple of sodas and by a couple of I mean one plus a little bit of chocolate. The use of kombucha tea instead of coffee has definitely made a difference in the intensity of cravings, the bloating and digestion. Another trial balloon I've floated up is eating carnivore for a few days. That is something I believe could be a game changer for those whose systems can handle it. I know just a couple of days and I started getting some new found energy. I'll be doing some research on that as far as it impacts lung function and circulatory repair. If I find anything of interest I'll update on this thread. If it's earth shattering I'll make a new topic so it can be easier to follow both supporting and detracting replies. I think tomorrow I will start a 90 day challenge of eating nothing but beef with salt as the only seasoning.
The kombucha tea is really starting to intrigue me. It is a detox facilitator and I noticed this morning my chest was a little congested and I was hacking up some white phlegm. My mouth felt and tasted like I smoked 2 packs the night before and it had somewhat of a metallic taste. I saw some anecdotal evidence of someone that flushed a bunch of stuff after 6 weeks of drinking the stuff so I plan on continuing with it for at least another month.
The last thing on the list of experiments is oil pulling. Search it up and try it out. I've done it for 2 days with olive oil but I think coconut oil might be a better choice. It makes my teeth feel smooth and clean and it is supposed to assist with detoxing.
Anyhow, I'm getting to the point where I'm about to go all in on making the best me that I can. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and jeopardize my quit but what's the point of quitting if not to improve and get everything out of life that you can grab?? I'll have some other updates on the nerve issues in my back and the problem with my hip. Until then, stay strong and remember that I really do care deeply about each of you and want nothing but the best for all of you. Peace
