I'm coming back, in a slow and surging way. In and out of health, in and out of fever. The sharp spikes in my muscles were gone by day 2 and the diarrhea really improved the first day even.
I knew the first day I cut out oxalates something was real. I had horrible stomach pain for 3 months straight and blood and mucous in my stool. The day I ate, but NOT oxalates the bleeding stopped.
An entire decade ago Green smoothies seemed like the magic bullet for good health. I thought all things good health came from vegetables and the more the merrier.
When I questioned what stole away my entire summer it never occurred it was the SUPERFOODS I had read about in Prevention magazine. Nearly every magazine I read listed superfoods with antioxidants and fiber and like a militant rule follower this OCD girl is, I made lists of them and tried to make it all my daily diet.
Nuts, celery, celery juice, 5 cups of raw spinach...I was killing myself if you read the research on spinach being fed to rats. It eventually killed them. I was closer than I thought.
