I'm in love.

Week 5.

I feel like i'm 10 years younger. That would be 28! Granted, I am not playing ultimate frisbee or mountain biking and injuring my body, but i'm movin' around... riding my bike and jogging sporadically. Here's how i feel: I am not watching tv and raiding the kitchen every night. i'm not even eating after supper. i think i was starving to death on crap food! i'm not interested in coffee. I am having more and better sex than i have in years. I am sleeping solidly 6-8 hours each night and i feel energetic. My excema is almost gone. The itchy times come and go so there is some scratching when i eat the trigger things. my gums don't hurt anymore (i am flossing regularly so i know i am happy and my hands aren't hurting). I don't feel angry (much :) ). Oh, and how could i forget? I have lost about 5 pound and that bloated feeling. How great is that?

Now that i am in love with this stuff, i can't imagine living without it... no matter how much it cost. I really want everyone i know to feel as good as i do. My dream is to help my sister get her life back. But I don't think i can do anything until she comes to me. She has chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia and chronic pain. She is only 36 and lives half a life. Here skeleton is degenerating because she hasn't got the energy to do any impact movement. She's like an astronaut on a space station with no gravity. My heart is broken every time i think of her lately. Before i couldn't bear to think of her because there was nothing i could do... but now, i feel like this could help. My mentor who is a naturopath has had amazing results with autoimmune trouble such as chronic fatigue and HIV. But she is trying some new meds and can't interfere with the trial period. I know she is also sick of trying things and sick of getting her hopes up and dashed again and again. And she worries that the insurance company for her LTD will see her being more active and trying to get better and cut off her income. I just want to cry. I will just wait instead. Then she will see the other people around her change and she will have faith in something again.

We are going out of the city tomorrow, so i must rest up.

BTW, i just organized all of the paperwork in my whole house. There was a lot! It sure is great to be able to tackle such things!

Thanks for tuning in.
