#1 Sarah, when is your due date? It's gotta be any day now right? Or is #3 already here and I missed the memo?
#2 Heather or Danika or anyone who might know- I would like to do some sort of detox/cleanse. Preferably a 7 or 10 day. Anyone know of a good one? In the past I have done "7-day detox miracle" which was good but I'd like to do something a bit more powerful (bring on the mud-eating, sludge-drinking, clay-pooping types).
#3 This is a weird one maybe but someone please give me advice on what to wear to sleep in. Every night I get BLISTERING hot (even if I only use a sheet). I can't go naked (or G's only which to me is the same as naked) because my paranoia won't let me. All I can think is, "what if there is a fire in the middle of the night and I have to run outside?" Also, I'm a bit of a tornado so long-nightgowns or scrubs type pants or oversize shirts end up getting twisted around 100 times. Plus, too hot. What is the solution?

1. so out of it.
2. i've been meaning to ask the same question.
3. fans? those bandanas that go around your neck and keep you cool?
I have never done a detox like that. The Gunns are big fans of the "yeast free sugar free" diet. It is three weeks long. You can't have any sugar, any yeast (you'd be surprised how much food has yeast. even canned soups), or anything fermented like cheese or vinegar. This "diet" cured me of an allergy I had to ascorbic acid. Amazing. but longer than you would like. I will ask Matt if he has any reccomendations. he has been on his share of cleanses.
And as for pajamas. Sleep in your G's and keep a bath robe close by to throw on in case of fire. G's are the best PJs ever. Just do it. now.
I've followed a few. The Master Cleanser Book by Stanley Boroughs- drink a lemon, cayenne, maple syrup mixture. Recently I went to trader joes and picked up a detox kit. Inexpensive and it worked great.
I do a 7-10 day juice fast a couple times a year. You need a juicer for this one. You drink fresh juice, tea, and veg broth. This one seems to work the best for me. Is this similar to the "7-day detox miracle"?
I'm doing that yeast free sugar thing right now. It's easier than the others because you can eat.
oh, just thought of the real killer. Google Bentonite Colloid - Clay Detox. I think this is really what you are after. You eat psyllium and bentonite clay. It's nasty.
oh, why do you get so hot?
i don't know! maybe a cleanse will cure me?
So what CAN you eat on the no yeast/sugar/ fermented plan? What's bad about fermented stuff?
woah. that colloidal bentonite stuff scares me. that is what i was thinking, but i don't know if i'm ready for it.
sounds like your juicing fast is similar to 7DDM. you can have rice, any whole, raw fruit or veg plus tea/lemon water. It also incorporates hydrotherapy and skin brushing.
And just so you can hate me later, i would like to draw everyones attention to this
katie's comment inspired a new idea for Ultimate Luxury--someone to stand next to my bed fanning me with a huge banana leaf all night long. nice.
oh my crap! that is insane! measuring it? catching it in a colander?
1. angie... i sent you an email, but i'll post some pictures of sweet baby james, he is 2 months old.
2. also... my family SWEARS by isogenix cleans and stuff. you could call my mom, number is the same 628-4771.
3. hot at night? my suggestions are first nylon mesh garments that are a little oversized (taking it from my furnace husband). keep ice cold water by your bed, a fan, and get some of those super duper thin pj's from the gap (you might still look a little naked). and of course, no socks. you could also buy a waterbed... member those things? they were always super cold.
SICK! What is that stuff? Heather- where's your pictures from you cleanses?(Ha) Matt said his was never like that. He did the clay cleanse thing when he was 18. He said he wasn't sure if it was cleaning stuff out or if it was just the clay.
Right now my life is full of poo stories. Hazel is potty training, there is a stray dog pooping on our front porch, the dogs next door are in kennels and the owners spray their poo with a hose instead of picking it up (so it just stinks and runs onto our property,one of my best friends kid is having terrible constipation, and now I'm talking about Matt's poo.
back to the subject. We have a menu plan for the three weeks on the yeast/ sugar free diet if you want it. You don't have to eat the things on it, they are just suggestions.
i'm going to try the nylon mesh g's and the robe by the bed for fire emergencies. :) i keep ice water by the bed to drink but usually i drink a little of it, and then pour the rest on my feet.
i just noticed this on that poo website:
"Choose Ginger if any if the following applies to you:
* if you have a feeling of cold most of the time or have a feeling of heat, but only in the afternoon or evening, often with night sweats
* if you usually like heat and dislike cold, except while experiencing a hot spell
* if you have cold extremities"
That is me! maybe a cleanse really will help??
nice pictures. They look so proud.
Let us know how it goes.
I always had cold extremities, hot spells, etc. I no longer do but I didn't realize it's probably because of the cleanse. I still love the heat and hate being cold though.
