You’ll Never Need to Step on a Scale Again with TurboTrim!

This is the claim made by an advertisement I received via email for a product called TurboTrim. It promises to be the final solution for those who want to look great, feel great and have more energy than ever imagined. But first, the ad claims, you have to toss out everything everyone is telling you [...]

My Body Continues to Detoxify

Normally on Saturday mornings I like to sit at my laptop in my bathrobe with a cup of hot green tea with lemon and write my blog. It’s a day unpressured by work concerns. But yesterday I was really sick. This began on Wednesday morning with a slightly sore throat, followed by some lung and [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day Seven

All bets are off today (Sunday. I’m late posting this.) I went to the 39th Annual Oregon Country Fair in Veneta. A piece of land normally flooded in winter is converted into a magical forest with over seven hundred artisans offering handcrafts, over fifty booths selling food and numerous musicians, performers and parades to delight your [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day Six

I drove into town today to stock up on produce and spent over one hundred dollars. I can’t believe how expensive organic food is, and I’m getting very discouraged. I would like to buy at the farmers’ market and support my local farmer, but my local farmer doesn’t appear to want to support me. They [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day Five

I woke up around eight o’clock this morning. My back was feeling pretty good, but I felt tightness in my ribcage. The true test is when I get on my stomach and up on my elbows. That puts a lot of pressure on my low back, and this morning it was painful. I have a [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day Three

One of the oddest changes that takes place when I eat predominantly raw fruits and vegetables is that I feel a healthy tiredness at the end of the day, and I go to bed early. And I wake up early. I’ve been a night person my whole life, but when I eat raw, I’m up [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day Two

I didn’t eat as much as I wanted today, but couldn’t eat more. I didn’t have a salad, because I got a hankerin’ for cooked food and made lentil soup with onion, celery and tomato. The soup was delicious. But I’ll tell you, lentil farts are unique in that they don’t smell like crap; they [...]

Nutrition Experiment Day One

I’ve decided to conduct this experiment in nutrition to find out if I have a food sensitivity to dairy, to alkalize my tissues, build up my minerals, reduce my toxic load and to lose weight. This experiment will also help me to transition into a more healthful, whole foods diet and hopefully increase my metabolism. [...]
