Week 2 With Sebi Products

I've been so busy the last week that I've been unable (too tired) to keep up with my blogging. Because my days have demanded 14 hours or more outside of my home, it's been difficult to stick with my fast. Yet it was the breakdown of my power juicer that sealed my dietary fate. Trying to fast a month without a juicer is like trying to run a marathon without liquid refreshments. Somewhere along the way you're going to quit. I compromised by eating raw fruits and vegetables. I was able to buy Odawalla and Naked Juice drinks after VERY carefully reading the label. For each brand I only found one juice that was in alignment with Dr. Sebi's list. Later I decided I'd rather eat raw foods than drink the bottled juices since (1)  its not organic and (2) not all of their ingredients are listed.

To summarize my diet so far: 11 days I fasted, 2 days I had raw fruits and vegetables. Today, day 14, I had cooked quinoa pasta with steamed asparagus and a homemade sauce. Although I've switched to cooked food I have not deviated from Sebi's list.

Physically I feel healthy, strong and energetic. I'm almost at the end of my Fucus herbal treatment for month one. I still have another 2 weeks before I run out of Maya and Viento herbs. I'm already making plans to purchase my second month of herbs.  I've accepted that it took a lifetime eating all the 'wrong stuff' thus creating mucus in my body and it will take at least  six months to a year of serious commitment to cleansing and healing to get it out. On one hand a lifetime of malnourishing my body and the other hand a clean healthy body in six to twelve months - I'll take that deal any day!!!

Yesterday, I spoke with a college freshman about being a vegan. Her response was like most people I've spoken with, in that she could not imagine life without eating meat. I became a vegan for the same reason former President Bill Clinton did, to improve my health. Being a vegan is not an easy road to stay on. It is a tremendous commitment which means sacrificing all my favorite pastime foods, having dinner with family and friends as they comment on how delicious their meal is, being limited in the number of restaurants where I can eat with my friends. On the other hand, it is an awakening to what's going inside and around my body.  Its a constant consciousness of what is in the food I eat. Not many meat eaters think about effect meat has on their bodies. Even when they know the FDA has approved, unlabelled cloned meat currently sold in USA markets, steroids injected in animals, viruses sprayed on meat and the vicious slaughter of animals, none of this stops them from eating meat. When will people connect the dots between meat and poor health?

When my doctor told me the baseball-sized fibroid she removed from my body was common in American women and will grow back in a few years I refused to believe her. I knew becoming a vegetarian would be the first step in preventing that from happening. Now that I'm taking Sebi's products and following the nutritional guideline I will never have another fibroid or any form of cancer in my body again.

Before I came to Dr. Sebi I studied the philosophies of several leading natural healers. Although there were may different beliefs of how to treat disease, the one common thread was eating meat will kill you or make you very sick. Dairy is considered a liquid form of  meat containing cholesterol and all the other damaging effects of meat itself. A wealth of information supporting this can be found on the internet, youtube, bookstores. The New York Bestseller "Skinny Bitch" has created a chain from providing detailed information in a modern fashion. Dr. Sebi's youtube videos are filled with information on health and diet. Information is all around us.

There is really something rewarding about being a vegan. At the end of the day I feel good about my diet, health and contribution to this planet Earth.
