Detox completed
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008I did complete the detox with great results. I did not go the entire ten (10) days. We had out of town guests and out of courtesy to them I decided to complete the detox early - eight (8) days. It is definitely very difficult to carry out a detox of any great length. Our crazy, busy world does not cooperate with the necessary rest one should take during a detox process.
I usually recommend to the patients to begin where they are able - cut back some on the “junk” food and try to drink more water each day. Every little bit helps and after a while you feel so good that the “junk” is not tempting.
I felt great after the detox but this last week found me facing a great deal of stress. The stress did a lot of damage against that “great” feeling of well being. So, today, I am concentrating on a mini detox - lots of water - some lemon in the water - and taking little breaks to stretch and deep breathe. I am fortunate that the stress does not increase my desire for “junk” food and so my skin still looks great in spite of the stress. I find in working with the patients that many times when they are under going extreme stress they also tend to forget to drink water and reach for the junk food - and all of these are usually reflected in breakouts and flares of their acne.
So - I would encourage everyone - Keep trying to do your best with diet and water - get some rest - and enjoy each day!
