Day 2 Detox

I gotta say the Facebook support from the 7 Day PURE Detox Group has been amazing.  They have been so kind and I know I ask A LOT of questions.  Keeping it real and they have met me along the way with all my "what about this, and why that?"  I'm a information seeker.  A sponge.  Taking it all in,  for I am a teacher, a prophet, an encourager and a Evangelist.

God woke me up this morning 30 minutes before the rest of the house.  Praise God I got to lye in my bed, stretch and contemplate the detox of my mind.  For harshness is so quick to depart from my lips.  Especially to my children.  The hardest job ever with the best rewards.  Yet we are called to discipline them, rebuke them and chip away at their rough edges that a master piece is left.  Turning their hearts back to the father , the finisher of our faith.  My heart was broken for one of mine as he struggles with how to deal with a difficult person in his life.  That person may not be ready to hear my sons honesty.  Yet I pray that the council I gave was wise.  I pray that my son will seek the Lord and be lead by the spirit.  For fear so easily entangles and manifests in so many painful ways.  Yet we are more than concourers.  Divinely ordained for such a time as this.  Fully equipped for the task.

Praise God that as the house began to wake I was able to stay in the dark, with no visual or auditor distraction.  Soaking in God's word and worship for the day.  Hearing about the food laws.  The clean and unclean animals.  May the Lord continue to teach me and refine my thinking on this subject.

Now back to the detox.  I am wondering why so many of the products are sweet to the taste.  Is that natural or artificial?  I have stayed away from sweetener.  I never drink sweet drinks yet here I am drinking a lot of sweet stuff.  May the Lord grant me wisdom, understanding and discernment.  For now we know in part but all will be made known to those that love him.  Lord give me patience to see the process through for you are the glory and the lifter of my head.

I took my sulfur this morning like a champ.  Wanting maximum results.  Down the hatch with just a little water followed by A LOT of water and the rest of my pre-breakfast regiment.  Well I almost made the kids late for school as I had to race to the bathroom.  Now I am feeling weak and light headed.  Thinking I need to take some chia seeds to keep things bound up.  This is a physical problem that has had me before the detox.  I'm not wanting to go to far from home in case it happens again.  I pray the Lord leads me in this.  For the Lord has not given me a spirit of fear but that of love, power and sound mind.  Lord if it is you that wants me home in your presence than let me stay put but if the enemy wants me in self pity then let me step out of the darkness and into the light.  I stand believing that you will speak to me and I will hear your voice.  For your arm is not to short to save.

The dogs are on the loose again.  Really my 3 great prynees are off gallivanting.  The joys of the farm.  I do so like to walk our property and see all the sheep standing and staring at me they are just so beautiful and majestic.

Circulation seems poor.  My hands are freezing, I have chills and I am lightheaded, really foggy, hope this lifts I have work to do but can't focus.  I'm not hungry but I am fighting the temptation to eat my way into a clear head.  Document, document, document.  All for the opportunity to see the change.

Before this detox I haven't drank anything sweet for at least 20 year. No sugar in my coffee, no juice or soda, etc so I was a bit surprised at all the sweetness in the products. I hate to add a bad habit that I've kicked. I'm a rule follower so I want to take everything per the detox protocol but am wondering if all of it is needed.

1pm - just finished lunch.  Looks like I missed the fine print.  Suppose to take one of the pills 15 minutes PRIOR to eating.  oh well.  I'll know for tomorrow.  Had a bowl of my amazing broth with a broccoli, zucchini, green bean medley.  Seasoned with a drisle of Asian oil and brags.  Then topped it off 1/2 an avocado.  Still sipping the hydrate.  Way to sweet for me.  I also just took my allergy meds.  Forgot this morning.  My hands are still freezing.  I'm going to hit some house work to see if I can get the juices flowing.

This message was sent to someone on facebook that is part of the PURE family.

Jill, you seem to be very knowledgeable about the PURE products. I come from a pharmaceutical R&D background. Worked in clinical research for 20 years. On top of that my dad worked in the same field for 50 years. So needless to say I am very data driven. I am struggling to find written documentation of what is in these products and what they actually do individually and collectively. I am an over weight women that has struggled for 20 years to loss weight. I have accepted the R&D has done little to help those with a weight loss issues yet I do feel it is important that we have data to support our success. Have these products been evaluated for potential risks? If I find success with the PURE products I will need to know exactly what I'm putting in my body. I do hope you can help or point me to someone that can.

Jill came through for me with a few medical people I can get in touch with.

Day 2 regiment is over. Made it through.

Pure 7 Day Detox - Day 1

 DAY 1 Detox.  Pictures, weigh-in and measurements taken.  Following the detox protocol and so far so good.  The whole process is quite time consuming but not complicated.  Once I get the hang of it, it will be a breeze.  The skeptic in me is questioning the validity of this product and the heavy sales model.  I am trying to keep my questions to myself as I want this detox to be about more than the physical.  A fast for God's glory.  That I may detox not only from what goes in my body but also the the heart.  May my words, thoughts and actions reflect Christ.

2:12 - just finished lunch.  Wasn't even that hungry.  I have felt a bit dizzy and no real emotional changes.  My broth is AMAZING!  I am so enjoying it.  Had some veggies with sesame oil, brags and curry.

I am quite distracted with the whole process.  Not getting much else done.  Still need to read the WORD and clean house.  I also need to think about food for the family and the class I need to teach tonight.

Water consumption is going really well.  I'm shooting for 95 fl oz per day.  I've already had 70.

8:50 pm.  All done for the day.  Going to have to watch those cucumbers.  Let's just say they gave me a run for my money. 

Health Trim Cleanse - yuck. Wow this stuff better turn me into a rock star. Worse than cod liver oil. Ok it's all for a good cause. Now tell me how you get a dropper full of that stuff down every night. Tried mixing it with the calcium and it just made it nasty. I hope you have some tricks. On a positive note. I made it through the 1st day without a craving or hunger pain. Even had to prepare sloppy joe's for my family. Now that's what i'm talking about.

Now the calcium was quite tasty.  Now what i'm wondering is why this stuff tastes good.  What kind of sweetener is in it?  I don't ever drink sweet things and this program has me drinking quite a few.  All for a good cause if it works.

This product is REALLY bitter but not even noticeable if added to something.  Not sure what it's benefits are but I'm sure all will become clear as I learn more.

This one tastes like some bad instant coffee.  Hoping it isn't a required part of the plan.  I want my regular coffee.

 

We are permitted tea on the detox.  I love this tea.  Even comes with a sweet saying to keep life positive.

Was excited to make some amazing bone broth in my new giant pot using bones from our very own sheep.  Love using our farm raised bones.  This broth will cook for 10 hrs.  Tastes amazing.

I mixed this with the sulfur.  It has a bit of an off taste but overall very nice.

I mixed the following ingredients to make a shake.  Just a little Almond Breeze and a cup of water.

This is very tasty

I mixed the Mila with some cashew milk the night before.  Tasty but probably don't need to do this as these chia seeds are tiny.

The greens are surprisingly sweet.
