So, I have started on the coffee enemas now. They are going well. I can't really tell any difference compared to the baking soda ones. Except for possibly little bit more gunk coming out, which is good. I have been able to stick to my diet pretty well. I mean I have occasionally tasted a little bit of fish or chicken , but only a mouth full or two :/ But I don't feel bad about it. I have been exceptionally good at avoiding carbohydrates, which is a miracle. I was definitely always a big carb's eater.
I have been massaging my self, while the enema is in. As to loosen any toxic waste deposits. And I have found some really sore spots actually, which I didn't know existed even. Especially in my shoulders, neck, legs....well anywhere that I have massaged really.
Ok, no more this time as my coffee is ready and waiting.

6th Day
Woke up a bit later than usual, as we had a late night at the funeral(?!) It was good, all was good. Anyway, so I enjoyed my little sleep in, 'til 8. Then it was back to the routine... Got the enema water ready, added soda; warmed it all up to a nice body temperature. So I was ready to go. Oh yes, before locking myself into the bathroom I rememberedto have the baking soda water drink, which fills my tummy up a bit.As I'm usually starving in the mornings. Although thinking about it, I haven't been so starving as usually in the mornings, since being on this diet. And you got to remember the alkalising benefits of the water.
Unfortunately I didn't have a full 4 litres of water to do the cleanse with, so all went a bit quicker than usual. Still took me an hour or so. And I felt like it was a good and thorough cleanse. I am very happy with my new routine. How well I have adapted. And how well I feel.
I had to go and buy some more organic extra virgin Coconut Oil, as I would like to be consuming it in fairly large amounts, to help with killing off excess candida. As well, I do love the taste of it.
However, my organic shop was closed!!! So I went to the vegetable shop, and what do you know, they had some. But I didn't really like the look of it. I don't know, there was something about it. Maybe it was my inner voice, my inner guidance. But as it was Organic, I thought: how different can it be. So I bought it. As soon as I got home, I opened the jar, put it up to my nose and had a deep long smell of it. Because I love the smell of coconut. But NO, there was no pleasant smell? Ok, gotta do the taste test. So I scooped a large spoon full of it into my mouth, but NO there was no lovely coconut flavour. It tastes more like olive oil and coconut oil. Or maybe like rancid coconut oil.....NO NO NO, I don't want to be eating that. I wanted lovely, luscious, creamy fragrant stuff.
Oh well, it should serve as another lesson; to always listen to my inner guidance! Plus to always buy from reputable sellers. Although I love this Veg shop, they have nice Deli products and all, but maybe the health food products are a class of their own.
So for breakfast today I had Tomato and Celery SMOOTHIE, with some Chlorella (alkalising again- should actually test my pH, haven't done it in ages). Had it on my way to the shop. It was filling, and I actually enjoy the flavour of tomato. Sometimes I ad a bit of garlic, chilli and red onion, that's really yummy. This time I just hurriedly threw in some sea salt and Black pepper.
Lunch, I had some stir fried vegetables, with Tamari, coconut oil, garlic, cumin etc. I made this yesterday, so it was cold- didn't enjoy it so much. It was much nicer yesterday.
Then it was off to the CIRCUS! It's been years since I went. And what fun it was. But all that clapping, oh my goodness. I am glad I had the camera, as an excuse( just to rest my arms).
Dinner again was stir fry- chinese cabbage, red & yellow peppers, onion, garlic, ginger and drizzled some home made thai style chilli oil on top. Yum, it was so nice.
And now, I have thoroughly enjoyed writing todays event's down. And since I am all by my self in the house, I am going to enjoy a bit of meditating. So ta'raah, until tomorrow.

5th day on cleanse.
Started off well, did my morning enemas as usual. What pleasure;) My routine is, that when I wake up, I'll have my alkalising drink asap ie. baking soda water.
Then I start the water distiller, so that in a few hours I will have my water ready for the next days' cleanse. When that's going, I warm my distilled water up, for the enema I am about to have. Add a bit of Baking soda, and Bob's your uncle! Baking Soda is alkalising on the body, brings more oxygen into blood, which most nasty bugs can't handle. So that should be good for me. There is a Italian Doctor whom treats cancer with baking soda! But (un)surprisingly he has since been struck of the medical record. I think he still treats patients though. His name is Dr. Tullio Simoncini. He has written a book about his treatment protocols , which also includes some case studies, quite interesting to read: Cancer is a fungus.
So I had about 4 litres of water ready to go, locked myself into the bathroom. Came out (ran out occasionally) to let it all out- as there is no toilet in the bathroom. An hour or so later I was ready, so I had some probiotics, to replace all the good ones that got flushed out too. 30 minutes later I was ready to have breakfast, but I had to go to the shop. So I had a psyllium drink, which is just some psyllium husk in water....mmm...very filling!
I had to start cooking for the funeral we were going to in the evening. Just wanted to take some food over, to the grieving family, so I made a couple of large lasagnes and some apple crumbles....mmm....hard to cook without tasting, and eating and tasting some more....But I was determined. So when I got back from the shop, I was starving. I made a lovely salad, and it tasted real good. As I didn't have any salad yesterday. Then it was cooking time, spent all day in kitchen until it was time to go. I even made a big salad to take to the funeral, so that I would have something to munch on. Had more foods for me in the car (in case of emergency). But anyway, I lost the plot. The food was looking and smelling so good that I couldn't help my self. I could have, but I didn't. And I don't feel bad about it, as I only had salad and some venison(protein). I figured if I just stay clear form the carb's(love of my life, after sugar). I know the meat is acidifying on the body....but never mind. Tomorrow again I will be strict as.
Good Night now, it's getting late.

My new take on cleaning my body, inside and out!
So, I thought I would keep a journal of my experience of eliminating candida out of my body as well as other horrific toxins that are stored in my beautiful temple (body). Now I have never kept a journal before, but hey, they do say it helps, so lets give it a go.
My candida symptoms appeared after my second child was born. It was a vaginal birth, my first child was born via emergency cesarean (dammit- although now I am thinking should've had the second one cut out too, maybe then I would have been saved from having to go through all this candida stuff. But no really, I think the candida symptoms would have appeared sooner or later anyway.)
So what kind of symptoms do I have???? The list is long and there are probably symptoms that I don't even realise are symptoms. So lets start with the worst; Thrush. Constant itching, redness, discharge swelling and soreness...well you get the picture. If it wasn't for this, I would most probably not mind the other symptoms, and never bother to cleanse and detox. So really I should be GRATEFUL to my candida for showing such extreme symptoms, that I have no choice but to do what is best for me. So THANK YOU CANDIDA, FOR MAKING ME PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MY SELF. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED TO DETOX MY BODY FROM ALL THE JUNK I HAVE POURED INTO IT IN MY 32 YEARS. THANK YOU CANDIDA, IF IT WASNT FOR YOU, I MIGHT NOT HAVE EMBARKED ON A HOLISTIC HEALING AND SPIRITUALITY QUEST. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
So back to the symptoms; because of the thrush; I can not have Sex with my husband!!!Been without sex for the past 2 months(Poor guy, but Hey I used to enjoy it as well!!!), Endometriosis, Bad Memory, seriously BAD, tiredness, sensitivity to perfumes and other strong smells, joint pain occasionally.... I'll only mention a few as I feel it's too depressive to dwell on such things. I would much rather be thinking HAPPY thoughts.
So after my 2nd child popped out, I started wondering is my vagina never going to heal, as it was itching and itching months afterwards. Can't remember if I went to a Doc to have a confirmation of what it was, but I knew what it was. Yes I did go to Doc at some point, and tried the Big Pharma Drugs, to no avail, except for probably damaging my insides even more! So I realised I am going to have to study more about this and came to realise that food is probably the only way to go.
As the Hippocrates said: " Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food"- such clever guys!!!
So what do I think led to this horrid situation? - years and years of abuse! Abuse from my part, in forms of Sugary foods (OMG I was such a sugar junkie, should have heard the warning bells ringing), I have given up sugar about a year ago. I have eaten fruit though, and perhaps on my way to becoming a fruit junkie, but hey I can live with that, once I get rid of the excess candida.
Antibiotics, and man did I have some antibiotics ( did you know that the word antibiotic means ANTI- LIFE?! in ancient greek) If they were called that, probably a few clients would question them. The antibiotics that I had, were prescribed for the pelvic inflammation Doc's thought I had for about 2-3 years, until they realised it's endometriosis. And the treatment for endometriosis is/ was to take birth control pill continuously!!!Yes, with no break, so that I wouldn't get the period- which would then cause pain and possibly inflammation.Now I know such hormones also deplete the good bacteria from your intestines and promotes bad bacteria :( ...all these drugs....plus the other kinds of drugs, that I enjoyed/loved taking, being a young party girl living in London..Yes the re-creational kind!!!They couldn't have been that good for me either, although they were a lot of fun! Plus junk food. I was and little bit; still am a junk foodist, although my diet is probably much better than most peoples...
So ever since the symptoms started becoming un-avoidable, I have tried to do all sorts of things to get rid of it. But the problem I think has been, that I have never actually believed that I can do it. Where as now, I have finally been able to make a shift in my perception to that I can do it, It is easy. It will be the best thing that ever happened to me. I will be able to help others, when I help my self.
As Gandhi said; Be the change you want to see in the world.
He also said: Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are to what you could become.
Isn't that lovely and sooooo uplifting!
Actually this morning while colon cleansing (part of my routine now, more about that later.) I noticed my self, coming up with excuses, as to why I should not be doing this. I thought Oh my goodness, maybe there is a part of me that likes being sick?! I had always thought that I wanted to get rid of it with all my heart, but now something is showing up that is saying the contrary. I was so Happy to have busted that emotion in action! And hopefully got rid of it too, with all the other toxins I flushed out too..hahahhaaa...
I will tell more about my cleansing routine in my next blog... until then...Sayonara
