Welcome to Day 9 of the Purification Program.
Did you know the first recorded case of Myocardial infarction (Heart Attack due to clogging of the arteries) was in 1928 in the US? What do you suppose people ate back before the 1920’s? Well, they ate butter, lard, eggs, meat and so on. What they didn’t eat was margarine, corn oil, processed sugar, bleached wheat and pasteurized dairy. To top it off, they got quite a bit of exercise just going about their normal routine.
Heart Disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases are all skyrocketing today. Of course stress is a major contributor to this, but we would do well to eat more like our ancestors and avoid the “bankrupt” foods being marketed to us today as ‘healthy’. It is less expensive to eat well and certainly lends to greater health.
As always, be skeptical and do your own research. This is the only way to truly feel comfortable about ignoring ‘trends’ and sticking to the basics.
How Should I Feel Today?
There are usually no major developments around day 9. You should basically be feeling the same way you have for the past few days and probably will for the next few days.
Weight Loss
As you progress through this program, you may desire to add additional weight loss support products. You can do this during the purification program or afterwards. These products are available from your health care provider. Continuing on from our discussion yesterday, today we discuss the second body type.
If your weight is primarily in your belly (i.e. it sags over your waist), is on your shoulders, or you have a ‘buffalo hump’ you are most likely experiencing adrenal weakness.
Discuss the following protocol with your health care provider.
For Men:
| Rhodiola & Ginseng Complex | 2 tablets twice per day (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) |
For Women:
| Withania Complex | 2 tablets twice per day (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) |
Reminders
Although it is best to make your shakes up fresh, you can also make a large enough batch to last you through the day. Just make sure to keep it refrigerated, and remix it as needed before pouring.
