Hi. I'm New-ish

[LuciaB]

my name is lucia and i'm from the pacific northwest.

i've been juicing for years, though only as an adjunct to my eating plans.

i've already stopped eating white foods and starches, grains and sugars.

i would guess my nutrition is 80% fruits/vegetables (mostly veggies) and 20% anything else, including animal/fish proteins.

i am starting a juice/smoothie cleanse and possibly moving into a fast....

my health has been horrid for the past seven years...too many surgeries and too many auto immune disorders.

my liver is now throwing my blood work off and my doctor wants to put me on medications. the surgeries i have had, along with bladder cancer and a stroke have convinced me that i need a path of a different source.


i think i'm doing pretty well only having to take thyroid meds, as i have no thyroid...

i refuse to take more meds just as i am now refusing to see any more doctors. i believe i am sicker as a result of seeing doctors....

i believe immunity begins in the gut and to that end, i am starting the road to clean the toxins from my system

i wanted to say hi.....and thank you for letting me be a member.

Sounds like you have been through the wringer with your health. Some times it takes just that to get us here and on the truly healthy path.
I wish you all the success in the world. People are great here and I am sure will be of much help..

i was very healthy before that fateful day....

and, whilst i will not travel that road again, my goal is to slow down the progression of what bit me LOL

thanks again.
