Cleanse Observation
I hate to get too new agey about the cleanse (there are those who swear that it’s an emotional cleanse as well, since negative feelings can build up with the mucoid plaque on the insides of your intestines), but I will say this: I typically feel the worst (hungry, cranky, despondant) immediately prior to expelling mucoid plaque. And yes, “expelling” is a euphamism.

For example: I reached a point of hunger about an hour ago that started interfering with my mind. Couldn’t think clearly, felt sluggish and dazed. So, I walked across the street from the Amazon warehouse (no small feat since it’s a five lane road very busy this time of day) to the grocery store, and got an emergency Odwalla. On the way back, as I watched cars spew black smoke, listened to people heckling eachother on the street, and watched trash blow by, I thought to myself “This is bleak. This is awful, and no matter what city or state you’re in it never gets any better.” I felt, in a word, hopeless.

Then I came back to the warehouse, made a stop off at the women’s facilities, “expelled” mucoid plaque, and suddenly feel light and elated, hungry but cheerful. Say what you will about blue smoke woo woo, but I can attest to what just happened.

And I know you wanted to hear ALL about it.
