(90-Day Detox) Day 37: Back In Action With Gusto!

Written by Tera on March 24, 2009 – -



Good morning, my little Sparkle Puff of delight! I sure appreciate all the kind words people send me and encouragement to rest. I am feeling much better and I got a lot of sleep, so thanks!

I also used the opportunity of being “tucked away” to move forward on the detox announcement that we’re supposed to be putting together this week and I am SOOOOOO excited. I can hardly wait to show it to you and to kick-start the next stage of deep tissue detox for those of us who will be carrying through with that level of intensity in this program.

Okay, prepare for a mega-update.There’s a lot to say and a day in the bed feels like I’ve missed a week of action.

First of all, I’m going to make a little confession, here and it’s just slightly uncomfortable. My brother would squirm in disgust if I said this in front of him, and quite frankly a lot of other people I know would, too, but I still want to tell you what happened for me, because, well…

…I guess that’s just the way I am. I put it all out there, with the hope that it might help you, too.

So, here it is:

Yesterday when I wasn’t feeling well, I realized there was something toxic brewing inside. It must have come in through the seaweed salad I ate, because I remember reacting to it almost immediately. That or the green vegetables, I’m not sure. Maybe a bug slipped in through my celery juice. I don’t know, but it sure didn’t feel comfortable.

I spent a lot of time hugging the toilet bowl, but that didn’t seem to do the trick. Nothing would come out and I’m just not good at “forcing” that particular issue. So I waited and allowed things to move through a bit. When I was sure they’d moved “further down the track” then I did…

…an enema!

Yup! The “Big E” as Jimmy likes to call it.

Now, maybe it’s no coincidence that this week we have our special guest with Michael Perrine where he’s going to tell us “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Poop, But Where Too Afraid to Ask.” I am the one who gets to put myself out there and ask the rosy-cheek questions. (I can take it. ;-) ) Anyway, I know it’s a subject of controversy and the reason I’m bringing it up is because for a long time I advised people against it. For a long time I just regurgitated what people told me about it.

I used all the excuses that “it’s not natural”. We’re just “not supposed to” do that kind of thing. It’s the exit door, not the entrance, blah, blah, blah.

I heard fear tactics like “I know someone who did an enema and never took another natural bowel movement again!”

I’m sorry, I’m not totally convinced about that one, and fear-mongering isn’t my style. The next time someone tells me something like this I’m going to ask WHO, WHERE and How do I get in touch to ask them a few questions myself.

Fortunately for me, my commitment to base my truth on experience over indoctrination has allowed me to expand my horizons. That and the realization that there’s very little about how we live that is natural these days, so “natural” doesn’t serve as justification not to do something anymore.

It’s not “natural” to wear clothes, but if I tell the police that when I’m walking nude in the street, I’ll still get arrested.

I don’t look out my window and find seaweed, chard or pineapples growing. If I had to live “naturally”, I’d have died a very loooong time ago. So this isn’t just about being “natural”. It’s also about doing what makes sense TO YOU, given your conditions and situation in life and then having the courage to try things and find out for yourself what works.

As much as I would have loved to have given birth to my son “naturally” I’m quite certain either he or I would have died on the table if science hadn’t been there to help us out. I’m all for nature and natural living, but I think science and the “unnatural” world has its valuable contributions to society, and the fact that you’re even reading this in the first place is proof of that.

I’ve lived in the jungle before and tried to lead a “natural” life and those of you who know me closely, know it didn’t work out so well for me. I’m okay with walls, with internet and YES! even high heels and lip gloss. There’s nothing natural about these things and I’m okay with that. :-)

I want to feel good. I want to live a fulfilling life and make the world a better place. I want to learn, grow and share (love you, Fred!) and do whatever I can to make things work in my life and in the lives of those around me. So that’s why I’m coming out of the colonic closet to say that experience has now shown me that flushing the intestinal tract with water is far, far, far more comfortable than suffering with toxicity and constipation.

I am a believer!

Now, granted, I don’t know everything about it, perhaps there are risks, things I should be concerned about. But there are risks to constipation, too, and risks to worrying about the risks of constipation. And where I do not know all the story, I can seek answers and THAT is why Michael is coming this week on Thursday to answer our questions.

I encourage you to visit his site and check out some of his resources. (and eh hem, you can check HIM out while you’re at it.;-)) I think you’ll be more than impressed with this character and I do hope you’ll join us on Thursday for the scoop on poop and much, much more.

:-) (Just couldn’t resist, sorry!)

Now, that’s all out of the way, what other juicy things do I have to share?

I suppose that’s quite a sufficient update, except for the fact that I forgot to mention, my date with Brian Johnson has been reschedule for THIS Friday at 9pm EST. I’ll make that call available again and change the links on the original announcement. Anyway, just pencil that one in your calendar, because it’s going to be inspiring.

I’ve been observing some things and I’m very excited about pushing a few buttons with him to ask him some questions about how he does it all.

A Really Neat Thing Is That…

…because the power went out at Brian’s place, his friend Daniel Aaron dropped me an email to let me know Brian couldn’t make it to the call. Turns out Daniel is *hold your britches, my dear* an expert on “the joys of the all aphrodisiac diet” and much, much more. He runs a yoga training center in Bali and I’ve so enjoyed my connection with him and was SO, SOOOO inspired by some of the things he’s doing that I’ve decided I’m moving to Bali!!

Okay, just kidding, but I know some of you wouldn’t put an extreme move like that past me. Nor should you.;-) He he…

Seriously, though. He’s going to be our teleseminar guest next week and you know, I’m SUPER excited about this. And while I might not be moving to Bali YET, I am wheeling and dealing with some close friends about the idea of doing a retreat there. We’re torn between Bali and Hawaii. Anyway, we’ll keep you posted, but that’s for later in the summer.

Here’s a quote from Daniel’s website that got me thinking in a BIG way. I loved it:


“Work does not kill you, food does. God does not kill you, food does. Food is your first and last enemy. If you take in more than you can handle, it takes all of your energy to digest it.”
( Yogi Bhajan )

I’m not going to show you his website yet, and dont you go googling his name either. Just busy yourself with checking out Michael Perrine and hang on to your shorts for that super inspirational call with Brian, and then I’ll show you all the juicy stuff Daniel has to offer.

*aaaaaaahhh…*

Guess the silence had gotten to me, huh? I seem to have purged a prolific expression of my thoughts for one day and so I will leave you with a few of your own thoughts, well, the thoughts of program participants like yourself that take the time send me their thoughts, expressions and appreciation. But before you get started, why don’t you click this link and get the musical soundtrack to this part started up:

What You Have to Say About Things

Tera,

I meant to write this yesterday (Saturday, end of GSC) but it just didn’t happen!  I did indeed make it to the finish line of the 7 day Green Smoothie Challenge and I feel great!  I feel more centered physically and emotionally.  Not noticing many detox symptoms either, but I was eating mostly raw before the challenge.  But this was a great way to really focus on the greens and I have been telling people how it cuts down on most all cravings, amazingly! But it does make sense if greens are one of the most nutrient dense foods available.

I have discovered during this challenge how much I enjoy collards and mixed baby greens in my smoothies and have really increased the green part of the fruit:greens ratio!  Thanks so much for offering these challenge!  I am now signed up for the 7 day free detox, printed out the materials and organized them into a binder notebook and excited to get started!  My focus will be on cutting down on oils and using fats a little less!  And drinking plenty of water of course!  By the way, yesterday I spent a whole 45 mintues with my Omega juicer, juicing the heck out of some veggies that needed to be used and made nearly a whole quart of pure veggie juice, including a whole handful of parsley!

With much green goodness thanks,

Jennie

I love this lady, she just hits me up with doozies all the time and yet insists she has nothing to say to the world. Check out this one:

This has most definitely been a week from Hell, but I never once wavered about how I was nourishing myself.  No wine, no pizza, no pills, no Hershey’s (or even Trader Joe’s 85%) chocolate.  I just kept on doing what you taught me to do…and it worked!

It worked because it’s the right thing to do, to eat like this.  To listen to our bodies and provide the things it really needs.  My son spent time in Nepal, in the Peace Corps. One thing that impressed him is that the people where he was stationed have no word for “want,” but several words for “need.”

I think, as a country, we’d be a lot better off if we did, bought, ate, lived more of what we need and MUCH less of what we want.

It’s time to make juice, and later a smoothie…and probably another one tonight.  I’m loving the simplicity of them and feel no need for fancier meals.  I’m grounded and at peace, and you showed me the way.

Thanks again, love.
S

Now, this is pure love and enthusiasm in 1s and 0s. ENJOY!!

Hi Again Tera,

Well, I’m on a Diva inspired roll here!

I’m reading Leslie Kenton and Cherie Calbom and
I am SO ready for the Deep Tissue Detox.
Bring it on Sistah!!

I love the Gradient concept.
I realize that that is just what I’ve been doing on my raw food/optimum health journey BUT
instead of patting myself on the back for all the progress I’ve made, I was beating myself up for
not being “good enough”!

So, for my fellow travelers on this journey….
When I started “going raw” about a year and a half ago, I couldn’t imagine how I was ever going to
“give up” cookies, ice cream, candy….
Then a few months into it, I was rarely eating those foods but couldn’t imagine how I was ever going to
“give up” crackers, chips, bread….
Then a more few months into it, I was rarely eating those foods but couldn’t imagine how I was ever going to “give up” cheese, yogurt, kefir
Hmmm…..me thinks there’s a pattern emerging here :o )

Now…although I do occasionally partake of a less than optimal food choice, most of the time the foods I eat are raw, living and plant based.
Now…although I do occasionally crave a less than optimal food choice, most of the time I crave “weird” things like kale or parsley (REALLY…. I DO!!)

This morning, while reading over the last few days of Tera’s blog posts, I had an A-HA moment:
I wasn’t “giving up” anything, I was “letting go” of those things (food, possessions, habits, relationships) that no longer served me. Wow! How liberating. Yeah, I’ve got a way to go on this journey but wow, I sure have come a long long way in a very short time.

Thanks Tera
Thanks Diva Friends!

Oh … I have to share another recipe.
Here’s what I made last night for dinner.


I’ve named it my “Diva Inspired Detox Salad”
(Sorry about the lack of measurements …. my food preparation tends to be more art than science)

INGREDIENTS
Large handful of sunflower sprouts
Large handful of arugula
Small handful of dulse
2-3 stalks of bok choy
1-2 green apples (granny smith)
Sprinkling of raisins
Drizzle of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil
Lemon juice (I used a half slice cut maybe about 1/4″ thick)
Fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Place the sprouts, arugula, dulse and bok choy leaves in a bowl & cut into small pieces (I use a pair of kitchen scissors and cut everything pretty fine)
Dice the bok choy stalks and toss ‘em in
Chop/dice the green apples and toss ‘em in (I include everything – core, seeds – just not the stem)
Sprinkle on the raisins
Drizzle on the olive oil
Squeeze on the lemon juice
Grind on the pepper
(Do a little dance while you’re doing all this — so much fun!)
Toss and enjoy!

Bright blessings,
Karyn

And with that, my lovelies… I’m on my way to purge what little bacteria might still be wriggling about in a sesssion of (you guessed it) HOT YOGA!!! Mmmmhmmm…Love you!

YOU!! What are you going to do to make this day the best day ever? And what do you think off all this chatter-whacking I’ve just done! My goodness gracious!!! Look forward to hearing from you…

P.S.

DON’T wait on the world to change! Get up and change it yourself!

P.P.S

Jimmy wants me to do a bulleted list to that he can do a cool new trick on the blog. Here’s a list of all the things I can do to make this day (here’s to you Wolfie) the BEST DAY EVER:

  • Go to hot yoga
  • Buy a whole bunch of greens and load up on fresh fruit and veggies
  • Do my hair and get myself some new, styling yoga pants
  • Snuggle my muffins with 1000 kisses
  • Have a phone conversation with someone who inspires me
  • Pee. No, really. I have to go pee, now!!! Byeeeee! Love you!!

    Hey Tera! Good to know you’re feeling better and back to your peppy self!

    Enema eh? hmmmm….interesting.

    To make this the best day ever I will…

    Tera, I don’t think I’m up to making this the best day ever, I’m kinda tired. Can we just settle for making it a good day??? OK, it will be a good day because I will stay HIGH Raw today, and because I chose to surround myself with the BESt women ever, on the BES section of the Powder Room!!!! YAY!!

    I am glad you are feeling better. I am excited about what we will continue to learn. I love how your canceled meeting with Brian led you to Daniel. Life is like that. You have a plan, but there is an even better plan coming along instead. It’s cool how you didn’t get caught up in disappointment and saw the opportunity instead. Kathie

    Yay! I’m so glad you’re feeling better, Tera :) Smiles and hugs to you :)

    About colon cleansing, I find that I love enemas, but not colonics so much. Colonics always feel too invasive to me, like they have the potential to be doing more bad than good. I stopped getting them after I had a bad experience with them that made nervous about the risks of the large amounts of pressurized water doing more harm than good. But I love enemas, though I generally only do them when I juice feast.

    Tera, I’m so glad you’re doing a teleseminar on poo. I have a lot of questions, so thank you so much! One thing I was wondering is whether there is a big difference between pressurized vs. gravity-assisted colonics. Also, I’d love to hear more about the differences between enemas and colonics, and how much less effective enemas are than colonics. Also, are there times when enemas are preferred over colonics? Is there really such thing as mucoid plaque, and if so, can colonics and enemas help remove it? And, of course, the favorite question: How often should people consider getting enemas/colonics done, based on how healthy they are?

    An update on my commitment: I’m on day 3 of all 80-10-10, and it’s going well! Plus I’ve been massaging my thighs everyday to try to help improve the cellulite. So far, I’m down about 3/8 of an inch off my thighs. Woo hoo! :)

    I am very excited for all of the new calls, faces, and ideas. I am very curious about enemas as well, so I can’t wait to hear what Michael has to say! I have been 100% raw for four days, and I just keep felling better and better. I can’t imagine I could feel any better, yet I wake up and move from Cloud 9 to 10, to… who knows where this will take me!

    I never dared to write here that, when I’m detoxing so hard that I feel like pulling the next persons head off, I do a Salt Water Flush.
    It’s a dirt cheap Ayurvedic trick I learned years ago, and, at least for me, it really works.
    Why having a foul temper for weeks when this cleans out my whole digestic system in no time.

  7. By Doll on Mar 24, 2009

    Bali? Hawaii?? Either sounds intriguing lol!!!

    Looking forward to this week’s tele-seminars!

    To make today the best day ever:

    1. smile to everyone!
    2. snuggle with Nick (in a totally wonderful, playful way)
    3. bask in the sunshine
    4. sing…just for me because I want to!!

    There ya have it! Glad you got that “thing” out of your system!!!

  8. By Tami on Mar 24, 2009

    So glad you’re back and feeling better Tera!

    I have no experience with enemas or colonics so that is entirely new ground for me, and it will be interesting. The Salt Water flush Margot mentioned sounds interesting too. Love expanding my horizons with you Tera. :-)

    To make today the best day ever — well can I join Tanya in just making it a good or even great day? :-) I’ve had so many really, really great / best days that, considering the circumstances of the day … well anyway best is a lot to live up to (Hello, the birth of my children LOL) — So to make this a really grand day –
    I will smile, smile and smile some more. I will say my affirmations over and over. I will stick to my commitments. And I WILL make 20 minutes to run my little heart out on the treadmill (wind and storms here today outside).

    Tera,

    I was really impressed with you in today’s post. I’ve been reading your posts religiously since I’ve been on the 90-Day Detox, and I have to say this one’s my favorite so far.
    I like the fact that you admit that with knowledge and experience, perceptions can change about things we thought we knew.
    I like the fact that you don’t claim to know it all, but are willing to find out what works for you as you encourage others to do the same.
    I like the fact that you addressed the “natural” argument, because while we have much in common with a chimpanzee, we talk, we drive, we surf the net and do many more things that have more to do with science than nature.

    I’m loving this experience on the detox because I’m finding my own creative ways to balance my diet, and I feel healthier, I look great, I have a better attitude and I’ve lost close to 25 pounds since February. I like to believe that balance is key in many things in life, and that includes food – I feel like I’m on the right track to a balanced diet that works for me and I have you to thank for that.

    Hugs and smooches!!!

    Nora

    P.S.: I’m so happy you’re feeling better! :)

    Excited about poo! That’s me! Haven’t tried the ‘big E’ yet, but it’s on my list of things to learn more about, so I’ll be looking forward to the scoop.

    on the poop.

    I think this topic will be good to learn more about. I’m not sure about colonics, either, but have used enemas at times, when needed and that sure beat the alternative!

    I am finishing up priming all of my cabinets and daughters today. The fun part is that we are doing it together and laughing a lot. That’s the best part, but not sure it’s the ‘best day ever’! ;)

    I’m getting to bed earlier, but not as early as I desire, so I’ll coninue “working” on that.

    Happy Spring, everyone,
    Vanetta

    Oops, my ‘editor’ was sleeping I guess. I meant to say that I’m priming my cupboards and DOORS WITH my daughters, today. I’m definitely NOT priming my girls!! I guess I just think faster than my speeding fingers can type. LOL

    Sorry about that.

    Bye.

  13. By Beth on Mar 24, 2009

    OK, the thing I love best about this site is the fact that Tera and everyone here understand that we’re all individuals and we all need to move at our own pace and find what works for us and feels comfortable – there’s no dogma here!

    I haven’t posted much and I have to confess it’s because I, how can I say it? Strayed? This weekend, I spent a lot of time with other people, eating meals at others’ homes and at events where I’d really have had to bring my own food to stay close to the raw diet I’m working on. And that meant that, for a few days, I tried to just nibble on the sad little plates of raw veggies and dip that someone brought, but that there was nothing else even remotely close to a raw or vegan offering around. And so I went back to my “old” way of eating. Nothing too bad, but I ate a big plate of lasagna and some meat and some desserts, and not a single meal this weekend felt like it was that good for me – and now I feel like hell. So I’m convinced that I had my body on the right path, and that I need to steer back in that direction. I’m exhausted and grumpy and I feel bloated and ick.

    I want to start back at square one with a 7 day detox, and then move back on to the path of the 90 day plan. I feel sort of ashamed to admit it. So for the next day or two, I’m thinking mono meals, and then a 24 hour water fast…and I hope I’ll feel that energy come back soon!

    Hey! Thanks everyone for these thoughts.
    BETH…. no, no, no, noooooo! Don’t go to the 7-day detox.
    I’m racing to tuck in the kids and stuff, but hang in there! Watch for tomorrow’s blog post which will explain EXACTLY what to do.

    Don’t despair!
    Keep going.
    Shame is a waste!
    The only way out is through…

    Hang in there. Tomorrow’s blog is for you, Babe– and every other sister who’s stuck in the mud.

    Loooooove you!
    Just wake up tomorrow. Drink water on rising and don’t eat until you’re hungry.

    Then keep going….

    Looove and hugs,
    Tera

    Glad to hear you’re feeling better, Tera! Gotta love those enemas!!

    I’ve done many colonics and enemas (mostly enemas)over the years, and I’ve never had any problems! Sometimes they really work wonders! They almost seem to be on a must list if you do any kind of fasting/cleansing.

    Beth, DO NOT FEEL ASHAMED or GUILTY!!!, that kind of sabotage of yourself is far worse than eating anything “not so perfect”!! Love, appreciate and accept yourself for all of your choices. Keep your thoughts on the fun you had with your friends last weekend, and just start fresh today on the food front. You can always begin again….even if you have to start completely over everyday. The most important thing you can do for yourself is love, appreciate and accept all the GOOD that you are!! Focus on that and you’ll feel better right away! Today is the best day ever, because it’s the only day there really is!

    XOXOXO

    You sound fantastic, Tera! I’ve been thinking upon the whole enema thing on and off, and I’m looking forward to the teleseminar. I do hope that I tune in at the right time!

    Sad to say, but the past two evenings I’ve binged on wheat and dairy. I’ve not worn earrings for 6yrs, however my left hole is full of ‘ick’ as a result of my binge. I feel all sludgy, and am trying to figure out just ‘why’ I was so consumed with this form of self-destruction.

    Well, today is the first day of the rest of my life, so here’s to a fresh start!

    PLEASE PICK BALI, BALI, BALI, the earth has chackras too and the portal that carries the energy of the ULTIMATE DIVA (the divine mother) is situated in BALI…it’s also a lot less commercial than Hawaii and it is very peaceful, serene and spiritual…

    WHAT IS NATURAL AND UNNATURAL THESE DAYS ?

    We are living in an unnatural world…the soil is so depleted of minerals, trace minerals and vitamins that most of the food is severely lacking essential nutrients…for example various types of oranges from Florida no longer contain any vitamin C and I would have to eat 17 times the amount of spinach and 57 times the amount of broccoli that my mother used to eat to get the same value today. Now how natural would it be for me and my digestive tract to have to consume 57 portions of broccoli alone in one meal ???

    The amount of laxatives used in America is staggering, un-natural and harmful for the intestinal tract yet people are afraid of a natural water enema with no chemical additives…they have shown that many bird species etc…do self-enemas by inserting water with their beaks…people are afraid that colonics are unsafe yet ironically when they are constipated and try to evacuate they brake a lot of tiny blood vessels which is more harmful than going for a colonic…and sadly a lot of constipated people die of heart attacks sitting on the toilet while trying to evacuate…

    Some of the many bonuses that you can get from colonics are getting rid of liver and gallbladder stones by doing a 7 day juice fast with a colonic irrigation each day and avoid having dangerous painful surgical procedures…At the end of the 7 days there is also the release of the cemented or rubberized mucoid plaque build-up which has the imprint of your large intestinal tract. The purging of this rubber is very beneficial for people who have indigestion problems or those that are bloated or over-weight or people who ate a lot of pasta, peanut butter, white bread, white rice, pizza and french fries.

    When you do your scoop on poop it might be interesting to cover the subject of toilets. The height and design of our toilets here in America prevent people from evacuating properly. We are supposed to use a squat toilet, but since we can’t get that design here there are side pedal contraptions you can install on your toilet to get the same benefits of being in a squatting position…

    Good to see you finally caught up on your much needed dose of ZZZs…

    What is the “all aphrodisiac diet” ??? inquiring minds want to know…

    Wow!! What an incredible post and what an amazing responses from all the Divas. Really, sometimes when I can’t read the blog early, I don’t feel that bad, because that means that I will have the opportunity to read to you all, and I LOVE IT! I learn from every one of you and I guess that’s something that makes this day one of the best days ever!!

    I did enemas once when I was having a very bad flu and I couldn’t speak because of the pain I felt. A friend of mine told me about the enemas, she suggested to do it with coffee and I did (I was a little bit nervous) It really helped me a lot, I was very surprised that the pain was gone almost in 10 minutes after I put the enema. I would like to know if using coffee is OK or its better to just use plain water, sea water or chamomille water.

    Another thing that made my day a great one, was that 3 different people, from different places contacted me because I put some pictures in my blog and in facebook about some raw recipes I have been traying in the last 2 months, They were interesting in knowing about this “crazy” way to uncooked food. Actually, one of them is a raw certificate chef that lives in Tijuana, Mexico, and she told me that when she saw some of the photos she asked herself how come she stop pursuing her dream of been raw and make raw food for others. That really touch my heart and I felt very blessed of helping someone to return to her true inner pasion.

    I love this community, and I love how every one of us are an inspiration.

    Tons of love and avocado hugs for all this gourgeous Divas!

    Lau-raw ;)

    So glad you are feeling MUCH better, Tera. Enemas are sort of a “magic pill” (one you won’t get from the pharmacy). I used to get headaches. If it was stress I could sleep it off. If I could not sleep it off, an enema would relieve the headache… which told me it was a toxic headache.

    Looking forward to all of the teleseminars. They are all great! Thank you for doing this for all of us!

    I am happy you are feeling better! It is really hard to say what causes us to react the way we do. It could be from what put into our bodies. What we put into our bodies is a life force in itself. Sometimes our bodies need a little boost as well. I had a similar situation yesterday with almost hugging the bowl -however I knew what I was doing was not agreeing with my body.
    I drank caffine yesterday (not a lot – Normally I don’t need it – I am just happy and spunky all around). But wow, since I am not used to drinking caffine on a daily basis any more (I do not think I was ever drinking caffine on a regular basis) my body was paying the price in the afternoon. I had a huge headache. I had waves of nausea flush over me – Wow… I know now that once I am off caffine – I don’t ever want to go back.

I finally jumped on the green juice bandwagon and am feeling the difference already…yay greens, yay you, yay jimbo, yay all divas…

    Love you all,
