I woke up feeling like crap this morning. I’m not sure if this is related to the liver cleanse, or if I just finally caught the cold that everyone around me seems to have or if my body is just worn out from a long week of clients and shopping at Ikea. I’m hoping for the latter seeing as the author, Andreas Moritz, of the Miracle Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse is dead as a doorknob. Did I forget to mention that he died at the ripe age of 58 from mysterious causes? Well, there are apparently a host of conspiracy theories available about it out there. I heard through the grapevine that the real cause was toxic mold poisoning. His website states that the cause is related to his chronic illness as a child and that his doctors had predicted he would not live past his teenage years.

A part of me is paranoid that perhaps I did not get all of the stones out even after that last colonic. I had gas pains in the middle of the night last night and could not pass any air. I finally had a hot, lava-ish bowel movement in a filthy Bed, Bath & Beyond restroom around 12:30pm. I felt relieved for a few hours, but now I’m feeling some pressure downstairs. I made myself a carrot and spinach juice and microwaved my herb pack to apply to my stomach. Andreas Moritz touts the benefits of drinking carrot juice especially before a meal to help sweep the colon. I find that applying a heat pack on your stomach aids in moving gas out, so I’m feeling better, but may give myself another colonic on Monday for extra measure.

Another possibility for all of this mild discomfort could be from the kidney cleanse. Moritz warns of potential back pain as a result of your kidneys releasing mineral crystals from kidney stones passing through the ureter ducts of the urinary system. He also suggests that during the 20 day kidney cleanse, you try to not consume meat, dairy (except butter), fish, eggs, tea, coffee, alcohol, carbonated beverages, chocolate, or any other foods that contain preservatives, artificial sweeteners, coloring agents, etc. Oops!

Why am I doing this again?? Oh yeah, my 42 year old client who has absolutely no wrinkles or filler. She says a vertical wrinkle between her eyebrows completely relaxed and disappeared after a series of liver cleanses. Mortiz does touch on different facial signals that indicate a congested liver, including dark under eye circles, bags under the eyes, wrinkles, nose tilting to the left, etc. So far, my dark under eye circles have not improved, but stay tuned! I’m gonna be pissed if there are no visible results 😉

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
