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.

My Beginning Symptoms of Reiter's

Twelve years ago I had been happily married for 7 years, and did not have kids yet.  I was working and going to school full time.  We had a great life, I believe some people call it DINK (double income no kids).  We traveled and played often.

I started having what  I called hip pain, but now I know it was connective tissue pain.  I limped when ever moving, and hurt really bad.  I figured it was due to working out, or that I had put some kind of strain on it.

I started seeing chiropractors, and doctors, and any natural healer I could find.  No one seemed to find anything wrong with me.  I had blood tests, x-rays, cortisone shots, and whatever else they threw at me.

This went on for 2 years before I got pregnant.  Once pregnant for about 12 weeks, the pain was gone! I hadn't linked the two, but I was just happy to be pain free.  I had a great pregnancy, no sickness, no pain, no problems.  I did request from my doctor to let me take progesterone during my first trimester.  I had had three miscarriages prior and was told that this might help.  I took it and held onto the baby without any problem.

After by baby was born, I breast fed for about 8 weeks and gave up due to everything I ate caused her to SCREAM.  I never went on a all vegetable diet, but I know pretty much every time she nursed about 10 minutes later I paid for it.  Anyhow, about 12 weeks after she was born all my pain came back.  I thought it was because I had quit breast feeding, and I was sure that on my next kid I would keep nursing as long as possible to keep the pain gone.

I started my journey for a cure again, and got no where.  I lived on VIOXX which in my head was a miracle drug.  Anything that took the pain away was great.  Soon it was off the market and I had to result to Ibuprofen (which hardly worked) and what ever drugs the doctors thought would help.  I had muscle relaxers for sleeping because my back would tighten up so bad I would toss and turn, and cry nightly.  I had Loratab and helped me sleep a little.  Sleeping was miserable for me, I would sleep in our recliner often, or take hot bathes in the middle of the night and just cry and cry due to all  my pain.  I couldn't find anything that worked.

WOW just thinking back is making me cry.  All the pain I went through and nothing to fix it.  I contemplated shooting my self many, many, many times.  I thought about taking lots and lots of pills, but worried they would just make me sick and not work.  The only thing that kept me from killing myself was my sweet little baby, my mom and family, and husband who was so good with  me but knew he couldn't help.  My baby didn't deserve for me to be so selfish.  what would she do without a mom.  How selfish could I be to take that away from her.  Here I sit crying, just thinking back on how bad it was.
