The Fast (Breuss Diet) T-40 and counting.
Hello everyone, In order to provide entertainment for all and to produce a historical record that can later be referred to, we will track of this long journey - forty two days, via this blog. As most everyone already knows we have brought in the big guns - Bopcha and myself, to kick pancreatic cancers ass!!
The official Start of the Diet/ Fast was Sunday at 6pm . I had driven in from Philadelphia and had arrived at 10am. With no time to waste and with Thompson's valuable counsel, Bopcha and I decided since the medical professions solution is to sit and wait for the inevitable outcome, That we would take matters in hand and proceed with an alternative treatment plan.
So after a quick trip to the farm we picked up sister Judi's juicer and secured the recommended ingredients (Beet's, Carrots and celery root) from Safeway and The first Alternative. After a brief, (did I say brief) encounter with spaciness I lost the waste collector from the juicer! I had us all looking for it for a good 15 min (Something Sandra is all to familiar ) until Bopcha recalled I had entered from the front door not the back door! sure enough there it was sitting proudly on the front porch table. Sigh! I then moved on to the mission at hand, juicing.
Juicing was not without difficulty but with a routine I suppose it becomes easier. I promptly juiced and mixed a good approximation of the ratio 3 part beets, 1 part carrot and 1part celery root. Feeling quite proud of myself I wolfed down a good few gulps and passed it around for all to try. Sips here sips there we all gave it a shot and proclaimed. Not bad actually quite tasty. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter our throats began to constrict! Wow! this stuff is really doing something! Yes, it's doing something alright!
It seems that unless all the sediment is removed there is that nasty side effect. . The book recommends that you take just tablespoons at a time and hold it in your mouth mixing with your saliva. Kay claims her throat still bothers her did not phase Thompson at all and Bop an I were moderately amused by the whole situation.
On Monday the Box of the commercial juice arrived. It was premixed and strained and with a missing ingredient that I could not locate, The Black Radish . We think that there is some benefit to using fresh vegetables so we will be alternating between the two methods. We went down and to the first alternative and picked up the ingredients for the Sage Tea and after following the rather precise instructions, I arrived at a suitable concoction. It provides nice counter balance to the BCC Juice.
Presently it is 8 AM on Tuesday with 40 more days to go! Wow, this will truly be something. We are feeling a little weak and light headed (just a touch) we will be watching for negative effects, balance etc.
Love Sid and Bopcha
