Before the Fasting and the First Day

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Fasting-First-Day1.jpgYes, I did it! Five days of fasting with carrot juice.

What happened was that, since September/October last year, my face had been breaking out with pimples and I was always feeling fatigued. My mentor, Christina, kept telling me that I should fast but I was too stubborn, or I should say “scared,” so I always made excuses to postpone the fasting. (more…)

Neti Pot: Getting Grumpy

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Neti-Pot-Five.jpgToday, I got a little bit of my strength back, although I’m still feeling sick. I did another round of the Neti Pot in the afternoon, but since my nose was so clogged up, I didn’t really expect anything.

I’m really hoping this will pass soon as I hate being sick and in bed. (more…)

AT_neti-pot-2_03.24.09.JPGWell, I’m into Day 2 of my Neti Pot challenge and there’s not much to report, except that I’m still feeling like a leaky faucet. However, even though I’m not convinced of its merits, I’ve decided to continue using the Neti Pot.

Second time around, same results as the day before. (more…)

Confessions of A First Time Neti User

AT_first-neti-user_03.18.09.jpgFor the past few days, I have been feeling sick. The sinus on my left side is swollen and has plugged up my ear, which has been a big annoyance for me because I’ve only been able to hear out of one ear for about a week. Christina, noticing how much I’ve been struggling, recommended that I try using the Neti Pot to clean out my nasal passages.

Not having heard of the Neti Pot before, I decided to Google it. “What the heck!” was all I could say when I watched the video. Basically – to put it rather crudely – the Neti Pot is nasal douching! (more…)
