Much Work To Be Done
Well, its been a wacky week or two. I quit smoking for the last time (ahem, those who know me know I have quit many-a-time) on January 8th. Then on or around the 12th, I got sooooooooo sick. The worst. cold. ever. Some say I am detoxing, but whatever it was, I felt like big time crap. I rarely have to take a day off, since I work from home, but it was *that* bad last week. A day in the bed was necessary. I still have an enormous headache – the right side of my face is just swollen and tender from sinus goo, but its getting better. The bright side is:
11 days, 17 hours, 10 minutes and 5 seconds smoke free.
351 cigarettes not smoked.
$81.00 and 2 days, 16 hours of your life saved.
Sweet. Im using the good ol nicotine patch, if anyone wants to know. Mom quit yesterday, for the first time that I am aware of – so good luck Mom! She said it was like losing your best friend – and she’s is so right. But I read this little thing this morning: Quitting smoking is like killing your best friend – but kill her before she kills you (cause she will!)! Check out QuitNet if you want to – its good for motivation and shooting the breeze while you’re trying to do something – anything – other than smoke.
So now Im getting all healthy. I am thinking really seriously of going on the Master Cleanse. I feel like I have so much gunk inside me that I would love to get out – think that will do it? Think the Master Cleanse is a bunch of hooey? It couldn’t hurt, I figure. I wonder if it would help get this painful mucus out of my head. I have taken everything in the house trying to get rid of it, and nothing works. I have talked to quite a few people in my MRSA journey who have used detoxifying diets/fasts and have made real progress in fighting their infections and even cancer in some cases so I have a tendency to believe that all this processed crap we put in our bodies is pretty harmful. And I would like to get it out. I can hear Hsien now - “Quackery!” LOL Well, we will see.
/me runs to the store for organic lemons and maple syrup
Quack.

I’ve done the master cleanse 2x and I absolutely swear by it. The first time I did a 14 day cleanse, and felt like I had the flu for the first 2 days, but after that I was fine. I did it because I was feeling like you…just full of gunk, lethargic, etc. I felt absolutely amazing when i was done. I highly recommend it. It’s tough to stay on it, but If you can give up cigs you can definitely do this…giving up the cigarettes are way harder.
I suffered from chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergies, and just general sinus annoyance for years after moving from NY to Atlanta. I started using Sinol Allergy Relief daily about a year ago, and I haven’t needed a prescription, a nose drop or any allergy relief medicine since. I couldn’t find it at the store, so I bought it online at their website sinolusa.com. I wasn’t looking for all natural, just something that worked, I guess for me it’s an added bonus that it’s good for me.
Wishing you ALL THE BEST in your smoke free, cleansed future.
