Dan with Dr. Klaper regarding 'Water Fasting"

I will be back in to post more input on fasting. I am working up to be doing regular fasting. I have never undertaken a water fast past one day at a time now and then. Mostly that was because I forgot to eat for the day, not because I exercised any discipline to consciously water fast. I have done fresh juiced veggies alternated with fresh juiced juices, both diluted half and half with water, along with some herbal tea; fennel was great. Btw, currently I find myself gravitating to drinking red clover blossom tea, a real great blood cleanser.

Gosh, I get so excited about good basic nutritional and live energy eating and caring for my health in holistic ways!

Snack Tonight Included

mashed cauliflower and parsnip; recipe by Mimi Kirk
a staple lately in my meals, in other words…. I LOVE it!

brussel sprouts salad with jicama raw fries; recipe by: Mimi Kirk
**this was my snack this evening. Really very perfect! I used stone ground mustard as a dip. There is more of these dishes stored in the fridge for tomorrow. Glory Be!

coconut pulp with coconut water fermenting into yogurt-- I can hardly wait until tomorrow to eat some after sneaking a taste-- oh, it's a mighty fine taste alright!

Suddenly, mid November I felt compelled to be doing workout exercises in the gym. I was then given a free membership and have been doing aerobics since. Next step is yoga and weight lifting. Each weekend I try to make the yoga class and thus far have not been able to work it in. Here is a great video to inspire anyone into believing they too can improve their fitness. I work out at GoodLife Fitness which has both an infrared sauna and a steam sauna. I do the infrared followed by the steam after each workout.
My energy is high for working out and I love it every moment. Odd, in the past I would have to push myself and was forever looking for ways to entertain myself while using equipment. Now time flies and before I know it 2 hours has passed! That'd be 5 thumbs up! I'm a happy gal.

Exercising helps with the mercury detox and I think my sudden apparent go wild 'need' for it tells me I am ready to go to deeper levels of detox. I am considering writing a partner blog regarding drainage and detox.

I wonder what time Ernestine actually goes to bed. wow up at 3:00 AM

Ernie is one exercise loving creature! She looks fabulous and I'm sure she feels so too.

Body Ecology Coconut Kefir

Best Price on Coconuts I find is from Asian stores. I generally take a case at a time; they come 9 to a case. Most often the coconuts are 1.99$ a piece. I ask for a 10% per case discount which so far has been happily given to me. That brings the price of the coconuts to 1.80$ each. The price on coconuts rise and fall, lower and higher of 1.99$, at times.

Thus far to make yogurt from coconuts I do the same as I do when making yogurt from nut milk. I use HMF Forte or HMF Replete, both giving both Lactobacilus acidolphilus and bifidus bacterias. HMF is a brand cultured on human mothers milk which gives a strain of bacteria that will implant into the human gut.
