Reboot: Day 8

Here begins day eight of my participation in the Bzzagent.com campaign, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. As a Bzz agent, I joined this campaign a couple of weeks ago and today I continue on my journey of health and rebooting the body.Day 8 was a bit of a blind spot. I'm not sure why but I suffered a severe headache yesterday. Almost migrainish. I'm not sure if it was from detoxifying, or maybe I have some how compartmentalized all the crazy life experiences that have piled up on me over the last few days. Granted, they were all the little things that didn't deserve a whole bunch of power. Somehow I let the little irritations manifest in my brain where they began feasting on my nerve endings. Regardless, the end result was painful. I was squinting all day like Clint Eastwood. And of course, on this day, everything required my immediate attention.  I managed to muscle through the whole day and by 6 pm I found myself sitting on the couch in a dark room. I drummed up enough energy to make myself a dinner juice. Afterwards I went for a short 20 minute walk, took the shower and went straight to bed.  Okay, that covers the days happenings. I have made a few observations that are very interesting. About 4 years ago the ball under my right foot pinky toes started to go numb. About a year ago the left foot started. I drive a truck 5 days a week and I play drums 7 days a week so my feet get a workout. I thought maybe it was wear and tear. Just be sure I went to the doctors. They ruled out diabetes and several other diseases. About 6 months ago I started getting arthritis in both my hands. Again I thought it was from my drumming and my driving. Now I don't know if this is coincidence or not, but over the last few days the arthritis in my hands is completely gone and my feet have been the,awing out.  I have had days where my feet haven't hurt at all, and the numbness seems to wane. I have also had days where my hands don't hurt at all. But I have never been pain free in both my hands and my feet at the same time let alone 2 days in a row. I am going to be optimistic and hope the juicing is helping these situations. Time will tell. Thanks again to Bzzagent.com for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the awesome campaign.
