Day 20!

Okay, it is day 20 and I hurt! My left leg which I hurtfully refer to as my "bad" leg hurts and has developed a bit of a rash. The pain in the groin area has spread down the inside of the leg to the ankle and reminds me a bit of a shin splint in that area. The leg at times feels tingly too. The groin area is still swollen and a bit warm, but not hot at all. Scott mentioned that the "filter there might be rejuvenating and starting to work again" which is a good thought. The lymph nodes in that area have been compromised for some time now since the insect bites so maybe the juicing is breaking down the cells and new healthy ones are taking over and starting to clean the tissues in my leg out. I love it! It gives me something to focus on for healing. I have read many comments about juice feasting allowing for scar tissue to break down and I have alot of scar tissue in the area where I had the cancer (lymph and bone) How cool this is! It is the reason I started on this.
This morning I had 40 oz of straight pineapple for the enzymes and it didn't unbalance me. I also had 20 oz of "master cleanser" with msm. Ate a tsp of bee pollen. Then I made a large amount of "base" juice- 4lbs black grapes/1 1/4 heads of celery. I took some of that and added 1 yellow beet, 1 lemon with skin, 1lb rainbow chard. I don't usually like beet, but with the lemon it is good. The chard is very mellow. Chard is actually beet greens grown just for the tops.
I am going to take an epsom salt bath. Also, I still haven't taken my thyroid med yet. Today I realized I don't feel like pulling my skin off so my body must have reached a point where it has used up most of the excess T3 it was storing. I am going to wait at least one more day and then only take part of the medicine. I hated feeling that way and didn't realize how bad it was until it mellowed out! Don't want to feel like that again if I can help it!
Had a quart of water of "master cleanse", 4 oz of oj with a dropper full of chlorophyl concetrate and 1 tsp msm and 2-16 oz bowls of miso soup with fresh chives blended in. Made some msm gel using 15 grams msm powder in 100ml aloe gel to start applying to my skin, particularly where it is broken out or irritated. I feel like I should have another juice, but am not motivated....Had another 40 oz juice using the grape/celery base from this am with 1lb romaine and 1/2 lime. Lettuce is suppose to be calming so I figure it is extra beneficial at night as opposed to say spirulina. Whole foods had some great romaine-the heads are 2lbs each! Same with the celery-nice. Well, to bed, it is getting late.
I got in my 2 lbs of greens. In juice I had 120oz + 48oz lemon water, 32oz miso and water throughout the day. And I still have 48oz of "base" juice to start with tomorrow. Good plan!
