End O Day 2

I guess it makes more sense to do a "wrap up" at the end of the day. But there's little-to-no news to report! I finished drinking my day's allotment of lemonade by 7. I felt fewer cravings today and hardly any tummy rumbling. I had a cup of senna tea midmorning and a cup of peppermint tea midafternoon. I decided I am not giving up on the SWF (salt water flush) now that I know what to expect.

I worked some today and did a lot of reading on the Master Cleanse and eating raw. I know eating raw sounds crazy, even I think it sounds crazy when I see other people talking about it. But there is some actual medical research out there about the human body's response to eating cooked food (white blood cell counts go up as if your body is fighting an invader or infection) and, more scary, about the inflammation caused in healthy patients from eating cooked foods (and cooked meats in specific). It's not all the mumbo-jumbo about enzymes, which I'm still pretty skeptical about....it's peer-reviewed research of how cooked foods make us unhealthy. And I'm starting to wonder if eating the Standard American Diet isn't the worst damn thing I've done to myself for 40 years, or at least 25 or so, as long as I've been responsible for feeding myself.
