So I thought you all might enjoy this. I'm going to be unavailable for a week--no laptop, internet, or phone--while I go to a health clinic in San Diego and eat grass. Yup, I'm being
kidnapped by hippies.*Kidnapped* is a little strong, I guess. Since my mom and I are paying to go. It should be interesting, though. No technology, no makeup, no perfume--just focusing on health and nutrition and how the body works. All the food, though, is organic, raw food, so all I'll be eating is green leafy stuff. They don't have stoves--nothing is cooked. Yum. Sprouts again!!!
I wondered if we were going to be forced to all wear the same thing--like these generic muumuus or something. Apparently, though, we get to wear our own stuff--all comfortable and casual, something that we can exercise in and wear all day while we attend classes. Individuality, huh...I guess it's not completely a hippie/cult colony.
All joking aside, I'm actually quite excited about this. I've been feeling so awful, and this to me is a better solution than another bought of horrible antibiotics or surgery or something like that. The doctor who recommended it is really one of the few doctors who has helped me with my health problems. And he felt that getting rid of the toxins in my body (apparantly I'm quite toxic)
could clear up a lot of my health problems. In the two times I saw him over the weekend, he helped me go from complete agony to bearable pain. So, even though it's hard to get to him as he is in St. George, I think I'm just going to have to make it a priority to keep in touch with him and do check ups.
So, I know it's weird. But if it helps, I won't complain. I'll let you all know in a week if I survive the grass-eating.
