Detox: Day 2

Boy howdy, is there a rumbly in my tumbly! Lots of noise going on in the stomach - like it's growling but I'm not hungry. It doesn't feel uncomfortable, just, well, kinda bubbly. Fortunately, the sound is restricted to my own ears, and there is no... accompanyment of the unpleasant kind.

Crap, it's going to be hard to be polite about this topic.

I woke up this morning feeling just a little bleh to the stomach - like I woke up with a nap hangover. It went away as soon as I ate breakfast, as did the small amount of bloating I felt. I performed the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 in C (and I'll let y'all figure out what that's code for...), basso continuo. So. That was fun.

I'm halfway through my mandated one-quart dose of apple juice and 90 drops. That part isn't difficult at all - it tastes like, well, liquid apples. The tough part for me will be later this week (hmm... this Saturday, as it happens) when I get to drink dissolved Epsom salts and olive oil (not at the same time, not that it makes a difference). There's always the berries and whipped cream to look forward to.

What an odd combination for a detox. Hopefully their explanation is true:

"The Super Phos 30 helps remove calcium and lipids (fats) from the arteries, as well as, normalize cholesterol metabolism. The phosphoric acid working with the malic acid found in apple juice dissolves and softens the gallstones. The magnesium in the Epsom Salts relaxes the sphincter of the gallbladder and bile ducts, allowing for the easy passage of the softened, shrunken stones. Finally, the cream and oil cause a strong contraction of the gallbladder and liver, forcing out stored waste, bile, and stones, which easily pass into the small intestine. The Oxy-Powder will clean the intestinal tract of any blockages for easy removal of gallbladder and liver stones."

This is too. much. fun.

Working out tonight!
