Liver Flush

Peace Fam,

This weekend I finally completed a liver flush. The last time I completed a liver flush was in maybe 2008ish? What is a liver flush? I’m glad you asked. Here we go….

The What’s and Why’s:
The Liver is an important organ to cleanse. With the exception of the skin, the liver is the largest organ in the body and performs over 500 functions, far more than any other organ in the body. We cannot be healthy or recover from illness without a strong, clean well-functioning liver. If the liver is unable to carry out its full function, not only does it become congested and weak; all other organs will be more challenged as a result.

The flush I performed could be done at home. This flush can be done in just 24 hours, so it is easy to fit into a busy schedule. It is recommended that you have done a full 7-day cleanse prior to this flush, mainly to take the toxic pressure off your organs and to be sure that your body is alkaline. This is why I waited until after I completed my 21 day juice fast.

Cleansing the liver of gallstones dramatically improves digestion (agni), which is the basis of your whole health. You can expect your allergies to disappear; at least that is what I was hoping for. This year’s allergy season has been whipping my ass. I was kind of hoping for a reduction or remission of my eczema as well. Allegedly, it also eliminates shoulder, upper arm, and upper back pain. I can’t speak on that since I didn’t have that affliction to start out with. It claims to give more energy and increased sense of well being. I’m not going to say I experienced this since I was feeling good off my juice fast.

It is the job of the liver to make bile, 1 to 1 ½ quarts in a day! The liver is full of tubes (biliary tubing) that deliver the bile to one large tube (the common bile duct). The gallbladder is attached to the common bile duct and acts as a storage reservoir. Eating fat or protein triggers the gallbladder to squeeze itself empty after about twenty minutes, and the stored bile finishes its trip down the common bile duct to the intestine.

For many persons, including children, the biliary tubing is choked with gallstones. Some develop chest pains, allergies or hives but some have no symptoms. I have seen pictures which had me wondering if my liver and gall bladder looked like this. If the stones haven’t had the time to calcify, then you won’t be able to see them on x-ray and the only way to know is via surgery. Yeah…. Not gonna happen. So I figure that even if my hepatic apparatus isn’t choked, it can’t hurt. It’s advised to cleanse your liver twice a year.

This is what a clogged gall bladder looks like. Would you want this? No. This picture alone made me want to do this flush.


The Hows:

Preparation
~Eat a diet high in alkaline-forming foods and low in fats for at least 3-5 days before cleansing
~it helps prepare the liver by having a glass of fresh apple juice every day for 1 week prior to cleansing. Apple juice helps to dissolve the stones.

Ingredients
Epsom salts: 4 tablespoons. I didn’t know you could ingest Epsom salt prior to my 1st cleanse
Olive oil: 1/2 cup
Fresh pink grapefruit: 1 large or 2 small, enough to squeeze 1/2 cup, you could use lemon juice too. But ½ cup of straight lemon juice seems harsh and mixing it with EVOO, seems more like a salad dressing

Instructions
Choose 2 days in a row for the flush, since you will need to rest and be near a bathroom the next day. Take no medicines (if you are on Rx meds check with your MD – s/he will say no- 1st), vitamins or pills that you can do without; they could prevent success. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal, fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk). This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones. I just fasted the whole day.

2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink after 2 o’clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later. Get your Epsom salts ready. Mix 4 tbs. in 3 cups (750 ml) water and pour this into a jar. This makes four servings, ¾ cup (185 ml) each. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only, because all of this is nasty tasting).

6:00 PM. Drink one serving (¾ cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbs. in ¾ cup water now. You may add 1/8 tsp. vitamin C powder to improve the taste. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive oil and citrus out to warm up.

8:00 PM. Repeat by drinking another ¾ cup (185 ml) of Epsom salts. You haven’t eaten since two o’clock, but you won’t feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success.

9:45 PM. Pour ½ cup (measured) olive oil into the pint jar. Squeeze the citrus fruit (grapefruit, lime or lemon) by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least ½ cup. I juiced mine, but in the past I have purchased grapefruit juice. Now I can see that fresh is best. Add this to the olive oil. Blend well, until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this). Now visit the bathroom one or more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o’clock drink. Don’t be more than 15 minutes late. You will get fewer stones.

10:00 PM. Drink the oil and juice you have mixed. Take it all to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons).

Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don’t. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don’t clean up the kitchen (make someone else do that). As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down on your right side with your knees pulled up close to your chest. Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don’t. Try to sleep in this position. Sleep on a towel in case you shit yourself in your sleep. The amount of Epsom salt taken is a LOT. 1 tablespoon would have been enough to bring out diarrhea.

Next morning. Upon awakening (6:00 am) take your third dose of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don’t take this potion before 6:00 am.

8:00 am (2 Hours Later.) Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. You may go back to bed again.

After 2 More Hours you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat regular food but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered.


The Results:
Even though I did as listed above, and I butt peed for 2 days. I did NOT get any stones. Am I disappointed? No. It just means my liver and gall bladder is stone free. I’m okay with that. The 1st time I did this, I got stones. A LOT of stones. Each subsequent time, I got less and less stones. Since I hadn’t done this flush in a few years, I kind of expected some stonage. But nope, nada, nothing. I’m okay with that. Did I feel better? Did my eczema go away? No. Remember I was feeling kind of great from my fast so I can’t tell. Also this…. When you are juice fasting, you aren’t really ingesting anything that requires the use of your gall bladder. So if there are stones in there, I assume (remember I’m a dentist not a liver specialist) they either stay there or dissolve since there is nothing to trigger the release of bile. This is another reason why you shouldn’t break a long fast with just anything. Your body is not ready for it.

Some folks poop on a colander so they can collect the stones.... Why? Just look in the toilet. And definitely don't photograph this nastiness. But without the photos I couldn't show them to you could I?


An interesting observation the God made was I have a clean diet… I’m a pescatarian, I fast regularly, I drink a lot of water, and I don’t eat out as much as most Americans. I’m relatively clean internally. Why would I develop stones?

The Conclusion:
I’m good and clean on the inside parts. Yay Serenity!!!! Whoot whoot!

I highly recommend liver flushing at least 1/year if you are healthy and have a clean diet. 2/year if you don’t.

Happy Asiatic New Year!



Happy Asiatic New Year!

At 5:14 am Eastern Standard Time, the wheel/calendar turned and now it is officially Spring!!!!

Many of the 85 ciphers in which I travel, think that the name think that the name is a joke. It’s not. And those of you reading probably know and understand, but I feel like I need to make Knowledge Born for the visitors. She here we go.

Most ancient Cultures do not recognize January 1st as the beginning of their years. Why would they? Julius Caesar isn’t important to everyone. That’s like saying everyone writes with the same alphabet or numbers. (If you think they do, you need to do some more research) A lot of cultures use the seasons and the moon to document the passage of time. I would stand to reason that the beginning of spring is a good time to mark the beginning of a new year. Not the middle of winter. The date of the Equinox to mark the transition is reproducible via the constellations and location of the Sun.

Many people these days still celebrate the Vernal Equinox, though they don’t realize it. Easter is a ANY holiday. Easter is calculated to be the 1st Sunday after the full moon that falls after the ANY. ANY has to come before Easter. Passover is scheduled on the 15th day of there month, Nissan. Jewish months are based on the moon. And Nissan always starts on ANY. Zoroastianism starts it’s new year with ANY with it’s holiday Noruz. Pagans celebrate ANY with Ostara. ANY marls the Ba’hai New Year, an d Nyepi in Bali. Higan is a Buddhist holiday staring on ANY and Tunisian Nation Day is on the equinox. And the astrological year start with Aries. You know when Aries begins? Can you guess? Also… the Sphinx, Stonehenge and many of the South American Pyramids are oriented to greet the Sun on the Asiatic New Year. That’s a sampling. There is more. But I will leave that in your capable researched hands.

Peace to the Gods, Earths and ALL the positive people in the Universe. Time to get your party on!!!!!


Happy New Year!!!!
Serenity Love Sincere Peace Earth

P.S. I was up at 5:14 this morning, just waiting......

The One that Got Away

Peace.

My morning commute to work got me thinking. I was looking for some music and I like to fancy myself a songstress. Not just any ordinary-sing-in-the-shower person, but one capable of being a professional backup/background artist. (I will take Tamar’s work if she doesn’t want it) I’m too shy to headline. Don’t sleep, I can belt one out like Whitney (PBUH) when I am at the top of my game. (Healthy and young Whitney. Not Crack-is –whack Whitney) But alas, my range is small. I use gospel music to keep my voice seasoned. It was that gospel music that sparked this build.

Christianity is flawed. Super flawed. And will NOT survive. I know that it has survived for 2000 years. But as more and more people step into enlightenment, it cannot co-exist with truth. And when is Jesus coming back? How long will these people wait? What is your contingency plan if he leaves you behind? I mean you might be at the club when the horn blows? Will you hear it over the music?

I went under 120 instruction in January of 2008. Prior to that, I was a DEVOUT Christian. I say devout, because I did everything that a good Christian does. (a) Go to church every time the doors open. (b) Tithed 10% of the gross of my income. And (c) served on as many auxiliaries that I had the time, money and energy to devote myself. I didn’t come into KOS in 2008. I did that decades ago; but I had no true way to express it that would be user friendly to the people in my cipher. I had a husband and family that were more important to me than the public expression of my mindset. Also, you have to admit church provides folks with outlets other than spiritual. I was able to sing, get dressed up once a week (I don’t club) and I had friends with whom I could share social equality all in one place. All I had to do was work for them and pay admission.

What I am now willing to admit is when I went under instruction, I wasn’t completely sure if the righteous lifestyle was for me. We do have an aggressive reputation. It’s not pretty and I am very bourgeois. I didn’t want to cut my ties with the only spiritual entity I had ever known. Also, I wanted to give the mystery god a chance to make himself known. So…. For nearly my 1st year of being righteous, I went to church, celebrated all the rituals and traditions and stayed super busy with auxiliaries. Even though I was attending services, I still considered myself a NGE newborn. I was studying my lessons, doing my assignments, wrapping my head, observing 3/4ths, stopped makeup, and so on. Covering my head presented the biggest challenge yet the biggest opportunity. These church people saw me transform, yet said nothing to me about it. NOTHING. Eventually, it got to the point that I could not remain. The inconsistencies became too apparent to ignore. I bounced. What did NOT happen was any kind of retention from the congregation and/or the pastor of the church I attended. And that is the Flaw in Christianity. They are well able to draw folks to the faith, but can’t keep them.

Christianity is big on proselytizing. They want every human to be a Christian. But they have nothing in place to ensure those who become Christians, STAY Christians. All they offer is insults like backslider and heathen. The people I went to church with, had ample time and opportunity to persuade me in their direction. Truth be told, I was looking for it! But there was nothing. Even when I resigned no one called to ask why. Not even the pastor. One female did inquire, and we had lunch and built about my decision to leave not just the church, but Christianity as a whole. She seemed relieved that it wasn’t because of the specific church. She understood explaining that she had a transformation of such, which changed her way of life from that of her truly dysfunctional family. She and I are still cool.

So what happened? Why didn’t any one put up a fight to keep me in their faith? That just doesn’t seem right. I was a perfect church member. I did have a group of people from a previous church try to reconvert me, forcibly. But Serenity likes a good fight. And I’m not sure they realized that until wigs were flying. I mean invading my house and hitting me on my head with a Bible is not going to bring me back into the fold. Quite the opposite. Quoting scripture won’t help either, because I can quote scripture too. I did a bid, I mean a semester in Bible college. But these people were extremists. The most I got form regular Christians was, “I’ll pray for you.” SMH. Is that all they had? I carpooled for the entire 4 years with a minister who never said anything to bring me back. I come from a family with plenty of ministers and evangelists and they haven’t done anything either. No, I stand corrected. They no longer interact with me. Only my mother (an evangelist) interacts with me. Actually, that’s a win/win because all they ever did was ask for money anyway. A former friend once said to me that she had nothing she could say to me. It’s not that I didn’t already know everything she knew. She also said she needed to stay away from me or else her walk with the mystery god might become affected. Or did she say infected? WOOOOW….

I am in NO way advocating Christianity. But I am saying that Christians need to do a better job if they want to remain relevant. They are getting sloppy with their excess and abuses. Folks aren’t keeping that stuff quiet anymore. Churches used to be vital to the community. But that has changed. I have seen churches that have prostitutes loitering in from of them. And they don’t chase them away. I know I wouldn’t allow a prostitute to sit in front of my house. But I suppose they are the mystery god’s children too.It’s a very recent trend for the educated media to blast education. The 1% (or 10%) knows that as people become more educated they throw off shackles of foolishness and begin to think for themselves; and religion is foolish. Education and religion cannot peacefully coexist. That’s why religious cults advocate going to the “Benny Hinn School of Healing” rather than medical school. Eventually folk will awaken and leave that foolishness behind.

2:AF - Snow Moon

Peace,

I was having a hard time drawing up this build. But through circumstance I have clarity for how I want to impart this degree and tie it to the Snow moon. Pardon my tardiness.

The Atlantic Ocean is 41,340,000 square miles. Water is often given a female attribute and combined with emotions. But water is one of the most, if not the most powerful force on the planet Earth. Water is required, and bathing or swimming in it is considered a pleasurable experience. But water is responsible for the formation of the Grand Canyon and has killed the majority of the population of the planet at least once. So I’m thinking. Maybe you want to tread lightly with water.

The Moon in February is considered the Snow Moon or Hungry Moon because it is the month that traditionally receives the most snowfall. That same snowfall keeps hunters from hunting and gatherers from gathering. Hunger is not an unexpected occurrence during this time. But Chinese are more hopeful by calling it the budding moon. The plants are beginning to come back and that means we will eat once more. Hope arrives in February. February marks the beginning of the transition from winter to spring. The days are getting noticeable longer and the early flowers begin peaking through. Who’s heart doesn’t melt at the site of the a tree blooming.

The Mathematical break down of 41,340,000 has 2 Cultures, a Knowledge, an Understanding and 3 Ciphers that born Understanding through Knowledge Wisdom. I take all of this into consideration when I draw this up to mean that those of us who Know our beloved Culture Understand that it has dual nature. We are a peaceful group of individuals that is… until you fuck with us. Then you see the other side. And I don’t see anything wrong with that.

When Allah started his work to civilize the 85, he was initially rejected. Then he changed his focus to those who no one wanted to touch because of their level of griminess. That undercurrent still exists in our Nation. You do something disrespectful and despicable, be prepared for someone to go to your head. Why shouldn’t this be the way? It keep you relatively honest. And the Christians/Muslims do this. They just don’t serve their own justice. They wait for a mystery God to punish folks once they die. Why should people expect to do dirt to others and be embraced in a warm current of love? You want that? Join a church. They love anybody with no respect of person. That is not me however. Nor my brothers and sisters.

The Atlantic Ocean expresses great duality. It’s the 2nd youngest and the 2nd largest of the Earth’s Oceans. It exists with warm currents as well as cold ones. I allowed the devil to obtain great wealth at the price of Original people (African slaves & Native Americans). It houses the Bermuda triangle and is responsible for the Gulf stream. This is a wonderful yet perilous Ocean. The same as my nation.

Embrace the duality of the moon, the seasons and my Nation.

The Reason for the Season

Every Christmas I hear the Phrase that Jesus is the reason for the season. I have to shake my head over the foolishness. The season would occur with or without Jesus. That is weather, not religion. Also, I am noticing that more and more folks are wearing white, real white, not winter white, more and more during the autumn and winter months. Now I am an advocate of grown folks doing precisely what they want to do. That is the value of being grown. But be mindful that we live on this planet. And as free residents we should be living in harmony with our benefactor. Follow me on this…

We have, in this hemisphere, 4 distinct seasons; spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring and summer tend to be the warmer seasons and autumn and winter tend to be the colder seasons. The reason you don’t wear white during those seasons is because white is a cool color that reflects the light away from the body. Now that’s cool when it’s 90* but not so comfortable when the weather is 14 below. So that is the reason for white prohibition . Nobody is trying to hinder your style. They are just trying to keep you warm.

Also, you clothes need to not just change with the season, but your diet as well. Heavy foods like potatoes, meats, starches, etc. are great in the cooler months when their isn’t (a) that much light and (b) that much food available. They keep you full and sleepy. In the spring and summer when the weather is warm, you need to consume more water to stay hydrated. Enter wet foods. Eating juicy fruits and veggies is like drinking water.

We have become so disconnected from the planet that we no longer know and understand (like how I threw in today’s Supreme Math?) the reasoning for the change in seasons. The Asiatic New Year is just not a time for getting your ghetto party on, but a time for you to reflect and start thinking about what the change in season means, practically. Spring cleaning is a traditional activity because it marks a moment when you switch over from your cold weather ways to your warm weather one. And it just changes you mentally.

So do I wear white from Easter to Labor Day? No. I wear it from The Vernal Equinox to the Autumnal one. And I strive to eat in season too.

Crunch Time

Peace Y’all,

I used to fast for 3 weeks every year when I was a Christian. It was part of my Lenten and Hoodoo ritual preparation for Easter and Spring. Yes, Serenity touches many ciphers….. But when I became righteous, I stopped. For many reasons. I wanted to completely separate from my previous incarnation. I figured I could do it in May when the God “Raises the Rod.” That didn’t really happen. But in my devotion to my Culture, this thing I did, got lost. Well, I’m taking Jerusalem back.

I like fasting. It reboots my body in a good way. First it is a shock to the system. You need that sometimes. I always managed to lose a couple of pounds in the process. Stuff comes out that I cannot identify. I feel stronger at the end of fasting; and that is a good thing no matter how you slice it. There have been times where a second impromptu yearly fast needs to happen just to put me in order. When I am faced with personal challenges and I find my response to said challenges is inappropriate, but for some reason I feel strongly compelled to do the foolishness, then I know I’m out of order and need to put myself back together. I do that with fasting. Not usually 3 weeks but at least 10-14 days.

Here are a few of the reasons that I fast like this: the elimination of toxins, reduced allergy symptoms, healing and cleaning of the digestive system, increased energy mental acuity improvements and improvements in my skin. Basically, I will be so fresh and so clean clean by Asiatic New Year.

On the flip side, I suppose you can’t have the thunder without the rain….
There are a few minor discomforts you may notice during juice fasting. These include: feeling cold constantly, light headedness/dizziness, bad breath, body odor, constipation or diarrhea, stomach ache, acne or other skin eruptions, increased dreaming, changes in sleep patterns aches and pains, frequent urination, coated tongue - a result of your body shedding toxins and cleansing itself, headaches – possibly the result of withdrawal from caffeine or a reduction in salt or sugar consumption and changes in my menstrual cycle. The standard detox symptoms. This was easier to accomplish when I was single. Oh well, the God can handle it.

I don’t just fast and that’s it. I take advantage of this time of stillness to make decisions. You know how the 85% gets thoughtful and reflective at the end of the Gregorian year? I do this near the Asiatic New Year. Not saying I don’t make resolutions starting January 1st, I check on them and make more come the Vernal Equinox. I also tweak things in my life: I spring clean my surroundings with all the additional energy and time. I take the time to reevaluate my habits and appearances. I revamp personal programs. I make it a priority to read books. I treat myself with beneficial herbal programs so that I’m at my best when I finish. It becomes an all out Serenity focuses fest. I can put a fresh foot forward

My goals with this fast are to alleviate my eczema, combat my anemia (it’s getting real bad y’all) and restore my vitality. I feel like I’m aging. I want to feel young and spry again. In preparation I have been eating more and more fresh fruits, vegetables and kitchari. It’s very hard on the body to just abruptly start and stop fasting. So come Thursday, March 1st to Wednesday March 21st, I will be drinking all my meals, daily dry brushing, ingestion raspberry leaf tea tonic and barley water, nasal rinsing and oiling. I will cease sodas, coffees, and dairy. I will weekly deep tissue oil, and salt water flush. At the end of the fast… there will be a liver flush. If that doesn’t do it for me, I will have to make my peace as an old person.


Peace
