Today was a much anticipated day for me.  63 days ago I had my first visit to a local iridologist, Brenda Star.  I am an avid proponent of alternative health, and have been very careful about my health for many years.  So, as you may imagine, I waltzed in there thinking - this is going to be a breeze and she is going to tell me how healthy I am!  Ha!  Not so much.  She explained to me, based on the picture she took of my eyes, that my system was infested with mucus, fungus and parasites (nasty, I know.)  She also said that my nervous system was tweaked and that my adrenals were exhausted. 

The good news?  She said my body is the genetic equivalent of a Mercedes…it just needed a serious tune up and oil change.  So, she prescribed several herbs to address the issues. She also told me that I needed to radically change my diet and eliminate sugars and a whole stack of other things.  I was a little depressed when I left that day, but she promised I would lose weight and feel more energy, so I thought it was worth a shot.  The first two weeks were the hardest, but somehow, I made it through 60 days. 

So, today I visited Brenda to view the post-60 day photos, and WOW!  What a difference.  The first set of pictures I had taken showed my eyes looking an interesting combination of green and brown.  My eyes are supposed to be blue.  The yellow of the mucus in my body was combining with the blue in my eyes to make green.  The new set of pictures?  My eyes are blue again!!  The difference was striking.  There is still some yellow and brown in there, but I see that the sacrifices I made have certainly paid off. 

Here are the things she said are still going on in my body -

• My nervous system is still tweaked
• My adrenals are still exhausted
• I still have a bit of mucus, fungus and parasite
• My kidneys are overwhelmed with trying to filter all of the toxins out of my body and are creating dark circles under my eyes
• My liver is overwhelmed with processing all the toxins
• My Ph balance is still too acidic
• The fatty tissues of my brain are holding toxins

Ok, so to you, it may seem this is still an overwhelming list.  However, I feel like so much progress has been made, and I am ready to keep working on my health because I know it’s worth it and I’m seeing results.  Consequently, I have also lost 31 pounds, and as I continue to cleanse the mucus out of my body, I will only lose more weight.  I’m also excited about getting rid of those darn circles that have been under my eyes for years. 

So, what’s next?  I will still be on a restricted diet for another 60 days, but I am allowed to add more fruits and wild rice back into my diet.  She also changed up and added some herbs.  She added chromium for my adrenals and regulation of blood sugar.  I’ll be taking black walnut for the parasites; pau d’arco for fungus and blood purification; and a kidney detox blend.  All of these are in addition to the B vitamins, Pantothenic Acid, Licorice Root, EFAs and digestive enzymes I am taking. 

I’m excited.  Being well feels good.  Taking care of yourself gives you a great feeling of accomplishment and empowerment.  I look forward to observing my own continuing progress.
