Recently I joined the World Wide Cleanse For Health. It starts today, October 29, 2008. This is a 14-day cleansing which will end on November 11, 2008. Fiona Johnston took the initiative to start this world wide and I think she is an amazing lady.
Just a little bit of confession. I came across Dr. Robert Young's work a few years back. I roped in a few people to alkalize. I got into the cucumber juice craze for awhile and then it dies off.
Even though I have read the books, each time when I got started, I seemed to fall off the wagon. Getting back up again a few times and somehow got into the yo-yo of alkalizing. The premise is that a lot of stuff we are eating are acidic and when it gets into our body, makes our blood acidic and damages our organs and it became the source of all diseases. Sugar is acid. The meats, high protein dairy products, seafood or "anything with a face" (as Anthony Robbins calls it) are pure acidic foods. Acid becomes glue in our blood that sticks our red blood cells and makes our blood moves very slowly in our bodies and we become sick & tired and fat!
The challenge in alkalizing is watching others eat the normal delicious stuff of high protein meats, dairy products and nice desserts. Try sitting down with people eating nasi lemak, rendang, ikan bakar, and the rest of the delicacies over here in Malaysia! It takes a whole lot of will power to avoid those stuff.
Prior this cleanse, a few days back, I studied Fiona's materials, read again Dr. Young's book, watch some youtube video clips and tested the recipes. For instance, I tried juicing spinach and cucumber. Wow...it tastes awesome! I started to stock green peppers, kale, spinach, cucumbers, almonds, lettuce, Romaine lettuce, lemons, young coconuts and broccoli. All these are alkalizing foods.
This morning I did a green shake by mixing young coconut water, young coconut meat, soaked almonds, broccoli, kale, ice and soy powder. I put all the ingredients in the blender and it tastes so yummy and I felt so full. I begin to realize that this is achievable. Reading "Goals" posted by the rest of the members on Facebook was really motivating. Deep inside I continue to thank Fiona and Dr. Young on this initiative. Thank you Fiona. Thank you Dr. Young.
My motivation this time? It's to join the rest of them and enrich my experience. When I really made it, I can become a support to many close friends who are diabetic, who has cancer and the rest who may just want to enjoy better health.
Being someone in the insurance business, I met many clients whose application has been declined due to diabetes and cancer.
I will want to be that someone who will make a difference in their lives.
