Self-Test

Breakfast: 3 carrots, 1 pear and a bit of ginger root. Juiced.

Phoned the hospital and waiting for a response. Maybe something will come in the mail. Also called the dentists but will need to speak with him first to make sure he is happy to work on me at the moment.

The nurse came round and changed the dressings. What a difference, the antibiotics have killed the infection that was causing the redness you saw on the pictures. Its almost healed with probably a fortnight to go! I am using the hibiscrub to wash my body daily (i yearn for a bath) to combat the MRSA.

Will need to get the bike in now.

Gerson therapy is the system used by naturopath Max Gerson in the 1920's which achieved incredible results.

Went to the gym which was busy and it was great to see people.

Acidity Self-Test

Introduction

Use this checklist to get a sense of how acidic you may be. Determining your acidity levels isn't an exact science, but this Self-Test can help you get a better idea of how urgently you need to begin alkalizing your body.

Directions: Make a mark next to any of the symptoms listed here, if you have them. Count the total number of symptoms in each category. The idea is this: the more symptoms, the more acidic you may be, and the more urgent it is for you to begin an alkalizing program.
