Homeopathy??
So on Tuesday I went to the homeopath, $400 for the initial appointment. I had to wait 15 minutes for her, which I was not happy about. She had a phone appt so I could overhear her talking to one of her patients. I got in and she was very warm and friendly I talked to her for almost 2 hours. I felt good afterwards all though annoyed that she did not read the intake form that I probably spent 15 or so hours working on. So I get my remedy and the assistant named Alison tells me to mix 2 pills in 12 ounces of water and take it in the morning and in the evening for 2 days. Which I thought seemed a bit much but okay I can do that. Then she give me a vial of pills and tells me to take one in the morning and in the evening until my next appointment. I was astounded and shocked. My previous homeopath told me to never take dry pellets she said that if someone prescribes dry remedies don't walk but RUN from them. So I was very conflicted and incredibly upset because I kept thinking did I just waste $400!!! I sent her an e-mail explaining to her what I have learned and that how she practices goes against what I have learned. She did tell me that I should go off the candida diet and that with homeopathy my body will be better able to absorb nutrients. So Tuesday afternoon I ate a coconut macaroon, a couple bites of a raspberry chcocolate dessert and a banana. I was really craving a banana. The rash on my neck has gotten 10 times worse. So yesterday I went back on the diet. So now I am just reading testimonials from the homeopath still trying to make up my mind. Part of me wants to just do it so I feel that I didn't waste $400. The other part of me is afraid that by doing this it could cause negative effects. Back to the diet if I go through with the homeopathy I am going to drop the diet. My reasoning is you don't know if the diet is helping or if its the homeopathy that is helping. So If I go through with this once my rash clears up a little bit I am going to introduce one food at a time every 3-4 days. Starting with raw goats milk cheese. Brain fog seems pretty bad today, and feeling very sleepy. Weight has stayed the same.

I just cheated. I'm hungry all the time. I eat and then an hour and a half later I am starving. For example for lunch today I had a slice of pork roast some tomato soup, and some ground beef and I put some butter on it. An hour and a half later I was starving. For dinner I had some chicken and broccoli and I consumed some coconut oil. An hour later I am starving. I am miserable. I haven't noticed any changes. I have been on the diet officially for a week and a half. I have lose 6 pounds or so in a week and a half. Yesterday I weighed 113 lbs. I had a little sour cream yesterday and didn't notice any negative effects.

Today is the fourth day that I have been on the diet. The rash on my neck has been bad today its more noticeable and sometimes feels like its on fire. I am going to take another detox bath tonight. I still need to drink the tea and do the mineral drink. I'm taking it slow. I have been feeling super hungry. Today was okay. I had my usual three eggs and three pieces of bacon. I kinda cheated today I got a Lara bar it has nuts and lemon juice. But no sugar, I ate 1/2 of it this morning and will eat the other half tomorrow. For lunch I had a cup of roasted tomato soup with basil its delicious. I need to quit buying it though and make a batch at home this weekend. I also had a bison hot dog with mustard, sugar free organic ketchup and fermented relish. I bought some fajita vegetables all ready prepared and left it at work. So there went that idea for dinner. I have pork fajita strips so I cooked them up with some eggs with nutmeg and cinnamon, it was decent. No crazy sugar/carb cravings!

It's been quite some time since I have written. My birthday was a week ago so I was not eating all that well. My rash cleared up quite a bit over the weekend. I still have it but its not as noticeable. I saw my endocrinologist today. My thyroid, b12 and iron levels were re-tested. My b12 levels were great since I was taking a B12 supplement which I plan on stopping when I am officially on the diet. My thyroid levels were a little lower then they were four months ago, and the doctor said that they were optimal. I am quite frustrated with her. She gave me a prescription to increase my dose, but I am not going to fill it. My Total Iron Level decreased my almost 30. My ferritn level went up by 8. I am going to start taking the dessicated liver pills once I order them. I have still been doing the detox baths. I am starting to slowly take coconut oil.

I should be sleeping now. Last night I took a yoga class had a bison burger no bun and did a detox bath. Today when I woke up I felt better emotionally and my rash didn't look quite as bad. I have not been sleeping well for a couple weeks. When I woke up today I hit the snooze 3-4 times. I did not feel like getting out of bed. I went to a coffee shop and got a tea latte and and oatmeal raisin cookie. I did not feel well after wards my tummy hurt and I started to feel nauseous when reading. I drove to Santa Barbara and I started to feel like I was going to be sick ended up leaving work early because of the nausea. Later on tonight I went to get one last ice cream. I felt awful afterwards tummy started to hurt I became incredibly hot then my body returned to normal temperature. the bottom of my ears have been dry and seem to be a lot warmer then usual. I became very upset with a friend and started crying I feel that I am emotionally drained. I can't handle things as I normally would, I've always been very sensitive but now just the slightest things can upset me.
