MERMAID SISTERS! My hair is quite long now and I had washed it too often in water that was too hot. (It was winter and darn it, I hate cold water) and colored it without the right conditioner. It became impossibly FULL OF TINY KNOTS AND BIG ONES that I couldn’t comb or even keep separated. Then, I discovered I could warm up a T. of coconut oil and apply and comb through damp hair (washed…Read More

LIQUID DIET? Save your broths from vegetable cooking for the days you are not dry water fasting but liquid fasting. They are both nutritious and delicious. I am enjoying some broth from the cooking water of black eyed peas. Three known flavor enhancers are salt, fat and sugar. So, in cooking, I added some sole salt, red onion and coconut oil. (Didn’t need sugar since onion and peas…Read More

ALOHA! Day 4, 2nd round intermittant water fasting. Breakfast: magnet water and one tsp. bitter orange ferment. Lunch, magnet water and hot onion broth with tablespoon of coconut oil. (Pretty salty but that’s good because I won’t be flowing too much.) Had my meds this morning with one soda cracker so I won’t get nauseated and lose them. Going to taste the plum ferment today. I will let…Read More

BATH IDEA: to a warm OR hot bath, Sprinkle some MSM (or use sulphur soap), a little coconut oil, and some seaweed (in one of those little metal balls that are made for brewing loose tea so it doesn’t stick to everything or clog the drain). Some magnesium sulfate (epsom salts), some sea salt, and some orange blossom essential oil or other type (if desired). Lavender would induce sleep.…Read More

Are you forever filling and refilling your water glass? I was and it was keeping me from drinking enough. Now I use a big 1 QT Mason Jar (same size as my ferments jars). It fools you into drinking tons of water. Holds 4 cups and the square shape is easy to hold onto with both hands. It has a lid if you want to keep it at bedside (and not get dust in the water). The best part is that it…Read More

Day 2, 2nd time. Slept very well. Fasted until 6 pm and had a small bowl of homemade bean soup (made like Campbell’s) , soda crackers, Greek yogurt with Splenda (our friend), vanilla extract (real) and a strawberry. (Did you know strawberries whiten your teeth?) I added a T. of the Greek yogurt (which I believe has different probiotics than regular yogurt) to my two ferments…Read More

(Day 1, 2nd course. 1st was 14 days, intermittent) I had electrical energy, felt happy, aware, sociable, got out of the house and into nature, and completed things done I’ve been meaning to do for 7 days. I wish I had skipped supper.
