Bone Broth Detox Day 1 and 2

I started this detox yesterday, and it wasn't as bad as I expected, I thought a few times that I would cave.  I did great!  

Lot's of chicken broth, a little chicken, one organic grapefruit, and as much water as I could want.  I did have cravings twice, and pushed past them.  It helped to eat a little chicken, and drink a cup of broth.  That took the hunger pangs away.  

It didn't help that my husband brought in 2 frozen pizzas from the outside freezer. I LOVE those little Totino's pizzas.  I could eat a whole one to myself easily.  SO, I told the family I was going to disappear while they cooked and ate the pizza.  I filled up my cup of broth, and went to take a nice hot bath.  In the bath I did some EFT tapping.  I told myself, "I don't need food, I am getting all the nutrients  I need in this broth.  I don't need food.  This broth is all I need.  Even though I love pizza, I don't need pizza or anything else....".  I think it helped.  

To hide the pizza aroma, I put a few drops of essential oils in my bath.  I used a drop of peppermint, and a couple drops of valor.  I never smelt the pizza, and the family had it gone and cleaned up before I got out of the bath.  

I went to bed at 9:00 and had no problems.

I woke up this morning feeling great.  My foot pain (plantar Fasciitis) was exactly as it has been for the past 5 plus months.  I had hopped that I could at least walk without a limp.  No luck, my foot hurt all day at work, and still hurts when I stand.  I am guessing that my foot pain is not caused by a leaky gut.  

Even if my foot pain does not change, I will still do this detox.  I take Enbrel shots monthly for RA, and I know arthritis is caused by a leaky gut.  Certain foods I eat when my shot wears off, make a huge difference in my pain.  I am doing this detox to re-set my metabolism, and fix my leaky gut.  I want to be healthier.  

Today was so much easier than yesterday.  I cooked my kids eggs, and cleaned the kitchen.  No cravings at all!  I made tacos for the family tonight, and no problem.  I do love tacos though, so every time I thought about the smell and flavor, I would tell myself, "I don't crave food, I am getting all the nutrients by body needs in the broth.  I don't need food.  I don't crave or need any food."  I also put some lavender essential oil under my nose to help mask the smell.  

One point of advise, put your broth in a coffee thermos that will keep it hot or warm for hours.  Cold broth does not taste good at all.  My broth was warm all day at work in my thermos.  I was never grossed out.  I will drink from that from now on.  

Broth Detox Cleanse

I have had foot pain for 5 months now.  All of my symptoms seem to be the same as my sisters, and she has been to multiple doctors and no fix.  She said her doctor said it is Plantar Fasciitis.  I have not been diagnosed, either way it is super painful to walk, stand, or flex.

I was diagnosed with Reiters Syndrome 10 years ago, and now know that many diseases are caused by leaky gut.  Often times my foot pain is not as bad, and other times it is so hard to walk.  I have not figured out what foods make it hurt worse, I just know it gets worse.

I have tried taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen, and then even took two, against my better judgement, and it may have taken the edge off a little, but did not work.

My friend told me about all the pain she was in 5 years ago, and went to an amazing doctor that has special abilities to read peoples bodies.  Anyhow, he quit practicing and opened a nutrition store, so he could help people the right way. I believe he developed this detox.  Dr. Werner at Health and Longevity.

She told me how to make this chicken broth with a whole chicken, all pieces in a crock pot covered in water with a chopped onion, apple cider vinegar, and a couple TBL of Real Salt.  Crock pot for 24 hours, and then start the detox.

Drink this broth for 3-5 days.  No food, just all the broth you need or want to curb your hunger.  This is supposed to heal your leaky gut, and kill off all bacteria.  After the detox, you have to follow it with organic foods, no sugar, no flour, no vegetables...

If you don't eat right  coming off this detox cleanse, then the flora in your intestines will not be balanced.  It sounds like it kills all bacteria, good and bad, like an antibiotic but the healthy way.

I bought my organic chicken, and it is in the crock pot right now.  I will start this detox tomorrow, and will blog daily to tell you about it.  Today I will eat normal.
