So the day is finally here, I haven't been sharing much lately and I think its related to either over sharing in the beginning of this adventure.
The last month or so has been hard. I struggled with severe nausea and queasiness. I am doing a parasite cleanse and have also started taking a tablespoon of coconut oil every morning. To activate my thyroid and bump up my metabolism.
All I can say is it works but man oh man waves and waves of nausea. I suspect that there is a massive parasite kill o…

Hi all,
day 89 the end is near. I have gotta say that I now think that 92 days is too long to just live on juices. The last couple of months or so I have been struggling with severe nausea in the morning. I think the parasite cleanse and the coconut oil has something to do with it. I can't prove it but I think that somehow the colonies of candida in my body flare up and dump out in my blood stream right after I eat the tablespoon of coconut oil and take my parasite cleanse capsules.
I wonder if…

Spent the day at the beach today got there at 10:30 and left at 2:00 pm
Made 3 qts of peach, celery & basil juice, drank 2 qts at the beach, it was such a perfect day. I swam twice for 20 minutes, took a walk and flew a kite.
I feel so clean and light lately, I feel more in tune with nature. I always sleep so soundly when I go to the beach.
Hope everyone had a beautiful day, love to all. Dea xoxo

Hi everyone,
I am still juicy as day 92 approaches. I haven't been blogging much mainly because I haven't been very communicative lately. I have been doing enemas for the last month or so also because the bms slowed down. I have been taking a internal parasite formula since day 60. Nothing major except that i have been coughing up tons of mucous and its been coming out of my nose too. I think this is related to the parasite cleanse. I also have been sweating a lot and that is unusual for me. I…

Hi all,
today is day 56 or day 81 depending on the count. I haven't been posting much lately.
I tend to retreat into a shell when I am feeling bleh...so anyway very low appetite for juice, I have not been drinking greens lately except for celery leaves.
About all I can handle is celery and cucumber juice, the celery being necessary during a feast/fast. The other juice I have been enjoying is cantelope melon juice with mint leaves. So soothing and calming. I guess I feel weak probably because m…

Came out on the other side, I was ill from last Thursday to this Sunday.
I had lots of intestinal discomfort, bloating, and nausea.
I am so glad its over. The last 7 days have been smooth except for my very major period pains and discomfort I had over the long weekend.
My period has gotten so light and easy that it shocked me that it accompanied by so much discomfort this month.
I think it may have something to do with the whole regressing part of the juice feast. When I was in my 20's I used…

This post won't be about juicing so much as really just processing and writing about some of the stuff I am going through physically and emotionally. Being able to write about this stuff helps me stay on the juice and not throw towel in so bear with me folks.
I am having major allergy symptoms, sneezing non stop, itchy eyes and expelling tons of mucous.
My vinyasa flow yoga practice is helping me with all of this, actually the allergies have gotten worse since I started doing 1 hour of yoga…

Hi Juicy ones,
I am doing well. I had gotten rid of my allergies as I knew them, itchy eyes, continued sneezing, tons of mucus last year by switching to a living foods plant based diet. Well, 2 days ago my allergies are back and boy are they ever!
I have been sneezing and coughing up tons of mucus and my eyes are red and really itchy. I think that I am detoxing my sinusus and lungs and nose. And that this return of my allergies is related to the juice feast, reliving the past and cellular clea…

I haven't written in a while so here I am updating my blog. I am on day 34 of my feast. I have been taking chanca piedra for the last 10 days and does it ever work!
Lots of emotional cleansing, I have had swift mood shifts. I have gone anywhere from feeling happy and serene to angry to sad all in the same day at times.
The liver is the seat of anger so this explains the moments of anger as for the sadness and reliving my teen years and the difficult years trying to live on my own with very lit…

Hello juicy ones,
I am doing well. I started working out again this past week. I am an all or nothing kind of person and so to work out I have to do something intense. So I started doing indoor cycling again. I used to do it before going raw and then I stopped and so I haven't cycled since last April 07.
Before when I went to my spinning classes I would come home and be so ravenous that I would hit a pizza place or a rotisserie place (for fries or oven roasted potatoes). I was worried I would…

Hi everyone,
I am well. My appetite is really low these days, I have been struggling to get 3 liters of juice in my body. I also have been feeling really achey and tired.
I think this is detox, also I have upped my exercise regimen and I have read that exercising really accelerates toxins leaving your body so perhaps that is why I feel so wiped out.
Eventhough physically I feel wiped out, my spirits are high and I am really happy and confident. I am down 20lbs from my start weight of 205lbs wh…

I have been drinking green juice and citrus juice lately.
I really love grapefruit juice with spirulina, a drop of olive oil and a pinch of himalayan pink salt yum!
I am sleeping very little. I think I need to burn off some of this energy. My daily streaching, walks and gentle yoga is'nt cutting it anymore so I will start going to spinning again, I am trying a new class starting this Tuesday. Speaking of yoga, I can streach so deeply now into the asanas, I wonder if its the feasting, the msm or…

Juicewise for the last couple of days I have been loving my spinach, celery, cuke, fennel and apple juice. Its a nice break from the previous spicy green juice I was drinking with garlic, jalapeno etc...
I am drinking less again but instead of forcing myself I am going with the flow.
I have my cycle right now so my weight is changing I went up 2 lbs but I am not stressing about it. My cycle used to be painful and long...now it lasts 4 days and other than some mild cramping and bloating its a…

I am sleeping less but not feeling tired. I am attributing this to my being truly raw and past detox for the first time since I started eating living foods, last April 01, 2007.
The texture of my skin has changed its softer and I had about 4 enlarged pores on my nose from "dealing w/pimples" as a teen well they are much smaller now and almost gone.
A lot of my scars have diminished. I don't feel deprived at all from a food standpoint. I sometimes wish I lived in a more vegan friendly, raw frie…

Well today was off to a good start I had 3 quarts of green juice waiting for me in the fridge, first thing this morining I took my usual MSM dose with water and lemon. I ran out of the powder so I bought caplets. No bad taste..
Its raining here in Marsala, we live in a drought area so rain is always welcome. My boyfriend went to the office, the kid is off to school.
A strange thing happened last night, Enrico’s (by b’friend) kid his 11 yr old son G. has always had an antagonistic attitude wit…

I am well, was off the green juices for about days 2 and 3 so I drank orange juice instead. Yesterday I was back on green juices.
Last night I added banana peppers, garlic and onion to my green juice celery, cuke, escarole and lemon...amazing! It tasted like beef broth! It was good, I haven't had meat in years and this reminded me of a rich broth.
Odd thing that happened yesterday: I made the juice that I listed above and the I made another batch, with a different green, chard but with onion,…

Its raining this morning, a fresh spring cleansing rain. Marsala ia a fairly dusty place and has a really high car count for its population.
When it rains the dust settles, there are less cars about and we breathe easier.
I feel that the green juice is doing the same thing for me at a cellular level. I am being nourished, cleansed and the juice is helping my body sweep out all the waste. I drank 5 qts of juice yesterday, 3 qts of blood orange juice, 1qt green juice and 1 qt grapefruit juice.
M…

Well after my snack attack of earlier or yesterday really as its Wednesday 26 here I feel enlightened!
It was not worth it. I love what the lovely Kyra said that Juice Feasting is a great for truth telling and introspection.
I do not feel better for eating snacks, albeit vegan ones, actually it was too much after not eating solids for 20 plus days and I feel somewhat nauseated and woozy. The wine too, that was just nuts! We have tons of wine here, my boyfriend's dad worked for one of the bigge…
