Yikes! I'm exhausted! We had a blood draw between 7 & 8 a.m., weigh-in & blood pressure, green juice for breakfast (& a little quinoa), and then the lectures began. As did my appointments. I didn't really make it through one entire lecture today. I had interruptions the entire mid-morning & afternoon. They had scheduled 3 different consults at the same time as other lectures. It was a bit frustrating. I left my voice recorder with some gals & asked them to record what they could. It turns out they also had conflicting appointments! Oh well!
I had a live blood analysis, but my live blood was 'too active' so we looked at the dried slide first. (We never went back to the live slide, so I need to inquire about that!) It was quite interesting. Apparently my body is already detoxing. I have some inflammation as well. The Nurse wrote me out a long list of supplements, but I'm over that - taking them & spending the money on them. I saw a Doctor later on & I asked him to whittle the list down. He told me his top three. I haven't added up that cost, but... And the other appointment was with a bio-feedback machine. I don't really know what it was, but Cea (yes, like Sea, but with a 'C' - she needs to get together with Bleu) took my pulse a bit & put some contraptions on my spleen, neck & abdomen. She told me a little about my body regarding my pulse. I'm not too sure what the purpose was, but it was included in the course, as were the other appointments. I saw a Chinese Doctor in Calgary who did the same thing, but without the contraptions. Maybe I'm a little negative today, but I much say, I didn't really get the 'drift' of the appointments today. I'll do some more sleuthing to see what I can find out.
We had stuffed avocados for lunch. I ate one. That was dumb. I also learned how to do the wheatgrass juicing. I had 2 oz of that. Not a good combo. I got a belly ache & started to feel nauseous. I also carried with me the headache that onset last night. Not really fun! I left near the end of the afternoon lecture (1600) & went to the room for a sleep. I missed 2 lectures & nearly missed dinner. My tummy still feels 'icky', so I didn't really eat all the stuff on my plate. Maybe the detox is really kicking in!
I enjoyed ginger tea with lemon for most of the day. It was quite cool today & I nearly froze to death last night. It was so cold & I didn't have enough blankets. When I napped this afternoon I slept with 2 sweaters on & was just right! Yeah, I know, there isn't any snow, but I still felt cold!
I didn't get any exercise in, unless you include all the running around I did from point A to point B! I hope tomorrow is a little less rushed & I can settle in to the routine here at Hippocrates. I also missed my 11 & 4 green juice. I'm not sure I'll do the evening wheatgrass, as I don't want to try & sleep feeling icky!
Not a great start, but tomorrow is a new day. I booked my weekly massage & yes, the colonic too. They close the internet joint down at 2100 every night, so I'm usually online between 1900 & 2000.
Oh, I finished dinner 20 minutes ago & I feel hungry already. I think my body is getting grumpy from the lack of sugar, sweets & processed stuff it's used to. The music just lulled & I heard the speaker say something about 'doing the program & focusing on the stuff you can't have... dreaming about cheesecake...' I guess that's me! Ha ha!

Day 373 - David Wolfe, Hippocrates & Zero Energy
Posted by
Jill Marie
Another lazy day. Wow. I must've needed some sleep. I slept from midnight until 1300 today! Wowser! I managed to sneak outside for a few minutes of sunshine while I finally spoke to Jenn! Yes! I am missing her terribly, but I was happy to hear her voice, what's left of it, as she has a cold. They are settling into their new home just fine & the kids are adapting well to life in Texas. I keep thinking that I can hop in the car for a few hours & I will see them. Sadly, I don't know when that day will come, but it will!!!
I also had a message from a wonderful girl I met on ships about 3 years ago. She lives in Florida & suggested I come to see her & her son, while I go to the Hippocrates Health Institute. I started watching a few YouTube videos & one thing led to another. Then I ended up watching some David Wolfe videos, also on YouTube. Ironically enough, Andrea recommended Hippocrates & Roxy follows David Wolfe's program & is planning on attending his Longevity Now Conference early next year. As both programs are Raw Vegan diets, I find it quite interesting.
A raw diet is quite daunting to me. I am not sure I have the commitment to do it. I would like to think that I do & certainly more chemo vs. a raw diet should make for a VERY easy choice, however, I still feel myself sitting on the bench, rather than plunging into the pool. I think I'll visit Roxy for a while once Jaco flies home & see if I can't get a better grasp on how to make this raw thing work.
I have tried Wheatgrass shots on a few occasions & they have made me quite nauseous. I guess I'm fairly toxic from the chemo & a poor diet - I smell a good detox in my future!
Anyhow, even Jaco was impressed with David Wolfe's information. He agreed with his 'Hormone Health' lecture & even looked up his Longevity Now program.
Sadly enough, we were pointed towards some disturbing food facts. Like chocolate bars - "every time you eat a chocolate bar, it may contain a rodent hair and 16 insect parts and still carry the blessing of the FDA. For chocolate powder or cakes there must not be more than 75 insect fragments in three tablespoons of powder. Four percent of cacao beans may be infested by insects. Animal excreta (such as visible rat droppings) must not exceed 10 milligrams per pound." Umm, I think I'm going to be sick. I'll leave that one alone for now. I don't even want to look into it, as I'm scared I'll never be able to touch chocolate again - raw, organic or otherwise!
The rest of the day was spent fussing over the dogs. I've never seen two more spoiled dogs in all my life. I had really wanted to take them out for Halloween, but my costume is buried deep in the bunkhouse, so I guess it will have to wait until next year. For those of you who did go out trick or treating, I hope it was a great evening - just watch out for the chocolate!!!
