A New Cycle - February 8, 2010

I am beginning to notice a cyclic pattern in regard to the liver cleansing. A day or two afterward, there is a noticeable difference in the level of achiness/inflammation I feel upon awakening and throughout the day. Since I do the cleansing on Saturdays, I wake up Monday morning feeling better. By Friday, however, the achiness has increased significantly, but it is never as pronounced as the previous week. Before the cleanse on Saturday it becomes worse. Then the cycle starts all over again. I have a theory about it that I want to present to the naturopath. (My monthly appointment is tomorrow.) The theory is that after the liver makes a "dump", it is then able to take on a new level of detoxification. So, the organs, and wherever else toxins are hiding, give up their "sludge" making the patient, namely me, feel lousy all over again. Only the next time there is that much less "sludge" to detox. Hence, the pain is less. We will see if the theory is correct or one of Joan’s fantasies.
