    My journey to getting well

    I'm pretty worn out this later afternoon. I've been busy and it has zapped my energy levels. Gut still doing well. Rather pleased about that. Thought for sure I'd be experiencing the laxative effect from fasting. I'm starting to get that dry feeling in my mouth when I avoid citrus. It is...

    My journey to getting well

    It has been a wonderful morning, with me having lots of energy. The stomach still is doing fine. I've been on edge about the fasting laxative effect. Still to my great suprise I've only been well to the gut. Tongue looks nearly perfect. Weight was 175 to 174lbs this morning. I ate lunch...

    My journey to getting well

    Doing ok this morning. I fasted yesterday. This morning weight is nearly at goal. That was quick. I might try for 170lbs. Hair remains darker, which I expect it to remain. Avoiding citrus results in darker hair. Probably my hair will become even darker after a week of avoidance. Eyes are...

    My journey to getting well

    Doing well this morning. Im not as energetic as I was yesterday. That might be due to me taking that ultra high natural vitamin every day this week. I'll go back to taking it two times a week and see if that makes a difference. Tongue looks good. It is healing quickly.. that is great to...

    My journey to getting well

    That was quick, my hairs grays have pretty gone away. Avoiding citrus does bring about hair color change. I decided to eat lunch as I finally slowed down some and felt worn down. I'm blaming it on a long bike ride this morning. Typically I'd push ahead and fast but it is to important that I...

    My journey to getting well

    The morning has started out very well, maybe to well. I woke up with lots of energy. Rather nice. i ate a very early breakfast and so far am feeling fine. The good energy remains. Well, I might fast afterall. I found myself at 177lbs. The upper limit I want to see is 175lbs. So I'll...

    My journey to getting well

    Off to a good start with avoiding citrus. this time I have had quite good energy levels this morning. I was never out of it. I've felt decently strong. Hope that continues. the natural vitamins are likely helping out. Ate some vegan cheese with lunch. It had no obvious nightshade, spices...

    My journey to getting well

    I might have run into some good luck. The store I go to has run out of oranges to sell. They only have juicing oranges left. This happens from time to time. Typically what I'll do is go to another store to pick up some oranges. This time I'm going to go on a citrus avoidance diet. As noted...

    My journey to getting well

    It hasn't been the best of mornings, as I've felt tired, weak, worn out. this afternoon has been better though. Just usual fatigue it feels like. I've had worse. Appearance is healthy. tongue sores are nearly gone. Some tongue markings remain. Skin looks good, healthy. I'm going in a...

    My journey to getting well

    Quite encouraging today, as I was partially well using the bathroom. My energy levels were ok. Nothing great with energy levels but I've had worse. I suspect all the healing I'm doing from dental work to exercise has me a bit worn down. I havn't noted it down earlier but looming large in...

    My journey to getting well

    Since avoiding nightshade along with spices I am appearing quite a bit healthier I believe. I'm not all that energetic but imagine that will come with time. I can't wait. I can imagine my appearance being healthier is in part due to the supplements I'm not taking. Noticed since having that...

    Doing well enough today. Took a multi natural vitamin this morning and it had me a little wornout this morning but overall this afternoon doing good. Ate some eggs today. Cooked up some chicken. I'm going to take a chance that the hurricane season is finished with us. On Saturday much...

    My journey to getting well

    My journey to getting well

    I remain a little gassier than wished, but figure it is due to the antibiotics or flare experienced one week ago. The gut is doing well enough I suppose though. Hope I do well on Tuesday with the dental work. I'm looking healthier and others are letting me know so. That is one thing I've...

    My journey to getting well

    yesterday I had periods of very high energy levels. That is another break through of late, the natural supplements I'm now taking I believe are helping to improve my energy levels. I've not experienced those great fatigue feelings since I began to take the supplements. So 2024 has been a good...

    My journey to getting well

    Tongue looks perfect. Not a mark to be seen. It does appear that spicy barbecue chips are responsible for tongue sores and upset stomach. At least it appears that is the case. It might be carrot juice another item I had added at the time. Gut a little unsettled but nothing terrible. It...

    My journey to getting well

    I was a bit ill to the stomach after lunch. It wasn't a problem but was worse than expected. I'm thinking it was caused by yesterdays snacking. Had an idea on what I'll try next. Not long ago I bought a bunch of nightshade free sauces, such as spaghetti sauce that uses no tomatoes. It has...

    My journey to getting well

    Having the munchies wasn't so good for me. Yesterday I basically ate dinner, and eating dinner can upset the stomach. The stomach was ok, but it did hurt and I'm quite tired this morning. I'll be more careful with eating today. Tongue looks great. Energy levels are lousy. Skin looks nice...
