Ugh and Blurgh

I am currently in the throes of the second phase of a parasite cleanse.

The protocol is two weeks (starting two days before full moon, because that’s when parasites lay their eggs) of taking the wormwood/black walnut/clove capsules 3 x daily. Then two weeks off. Follow this routine for three months.

I’ve had two weeks taking the capsules, two weeks off and now two weeks taking the capsules again.

The detox symptoms are brutal and this second phase is worse than the first fortnight.

Symptoms include abdominal cramps, joint pain, bloating and wind, diarrhoea, nausea, lethargy, muscle cramps, brain fog and mood swings.

Ugh 😩

Once those symptoms pass, you feel energised, lighter, stronger, clear headed, supple, younger and happier.

It takes three months to flush everything out completely, but it may take me longer because I’m a sook and stopped taking the capsules after five days in this second round. Maybe when I’ve flushed more out and the detox symptoms ease a bit, I might be able to handle the entire two weeks again.

Parasites don’t like pumpkin seeds or powdered pawpaw seeds or black seed oil or oregano oil.

I’ve started adding organic pumpkin seeds to my smoothies.

I tell you this story because yesterday (Sunday) was my worst day and I really struggled. I slept for 2.5 hours in the afternoon and kept a vomit bucket beside the bed ‘just in case’.

Luckily, today was better, because I spent the day in The Bay. I had to sit down a few times but it was better than yesterday.

It was Adoring Husband’s turn to cook dinner. He cooked lamb cutlets on the barbecue and served them with roasted vegetables and cauliflower and broccoli. Very healthful and delicious.

On Sunday night, I cooked Orange Honey Chilli Chicken with potato and sweet potato mash, steamed beans and carrots.

For dessert I poached whole pears in water, coconut sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, nutmeg, clove and orange peel. I served them with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and salted caramel dairy free ice cream.

So much food!

I have meditation tomorrow so it’s time to sleep now.

Nite all.
