My Sugar Free Sweet Life

It's now the 5th day of the gallstone flush process I started last Tuesday. I have consumed at least a liter of pure apple juice a day. I am still eating my usual diet and drinking 10 glasses of distilled water.

During the first two days, I felt a vague pain on my right abdomen just below the ribcage. I know that it's my liver reacting to the apple juice that I've been drinking. As I have written in my previous post, the gallstone flush recipe is also a liver cleanse recipe.

On Day 3 and 4, I experienced constipation which is very unusual for me. Normally, I would move my bowels easily after I have my morning coffee but the past two days had me really sweating as I did "number 2."

Today is the fifth day and I'm on my last liter of apple juice. I have moved my bowels three times this morning and it's not like I'm having diarrhea or something. It really looked like my colon got rid of the waste inside it and I feel incredibly light. The bloated feeling that I've been feeling these past few days is gone

Tomorrow, I'll be on a complete fast from 2 pm until the next day. We're going out tomorrow for my son's history quiz bee but, nevertheless, the fast will push through. I'll just bring my water and epsom salt just in case I don't make it home at 6 in the evening for my first epsom salt mixture drink.

Stay tuned for my update on Monday. As for photos, we'll see. I might post photos if they're not too gross, hehehe.

First things first, I am not diagnosed with gallstones. But a brother of mine went under the knife in 2008 because of these and it cost him his gallbladder. I, obviously, don't want it to happen to me that's why I'm undergoing this precautionary measure. I have read that it uses all natural ingredients, anyway, and the steps are pretty much easy to do. And so, today is officially the first day of my gallstone flush.

Have you read/watched the novel/movie, "My Sister's Keeper?" In the story, the younger sister was conceived as a savior sibling, a perpetual donor for the older sister who was dying from leukemia. The younger sister's umbilical cord blood's stem cells were harvested at birth to provide treatment for her older sister. Do you know how precious umbilical cord blood is?

TV personality Lexi Schulze Berenguer-Testa entrusted her baby's cord blood to  CordLife.

Umbilical cord blood or cord blood is literally the blood that is found in a newborn's umbilical cord. Normally in the past, it's thrown away along with the mother's placenta until recent researches has shown that it can provide blood-forming stem cells. These blood-forming stem cells are capable of developing into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which are all present in our blood. Thus, it has become a breakthrough treatment for certain kinds of leukemia, anemia, and diseases of the immune system.

I have been undersleeping lately. It's actually a sacrifice for me because I helped my boy finish his school tasks. Instead of him sleeping late and waking up at 4:40 a.m. the following day, it's me who has to stay up and do the dirty work. Dirty work includes putting animation effects in his Powerpoint presentation and formatting and printing his researches among others. He's just in 5th Grade, by the way. But I digress.

I spent my weekend tinkering on my Samsung Galaxy Tab because it was unusually slow. I remember that a day before, a lot of my apps had updated and it could be the reason for the lag. I decided to just back-up my contacts and docs and just reset everything. It was really such a hassle doing so but, on the other hand, it really helped me accomplish the app cleanup I was planning eons ago, haha!
