A successful week

This week we are down to 1704!

Last week my hcg didn't drop much.  All last week, I felt tired, drained, just yucky.  I was really worried that the hcg was rising, and felt that my diet might be too limiting.  I had been promised in a blessing that I would know when it was time to make changes to my diet.  So, I went to see Dr. Gary Orchard, a naturopathic physician in Idaho Falls.

He was able to test what my body really needed with diet and supplements.  He took me off of over half of all the supplements I was taking.  He said they were all good things, but some were interfering with each other, and some were for the same thing, so my body was working hard to get rid of the extra ones that it didn't need.  He said it would simplify my life and I would have more energy just being on the ones I need.  He also added in one new supplement. 

He tested my diet and said that my body was beginning to suffer for lack of nutrition.  (This is what I had expected).  Even though I felt much better when I began the carrot juice fast, just eating salads and drinking carrot juice wasn't a complete enough diet.  I felt that I needed more, but I was so scared to add anything in.  I didn't want to feed the cancer or help it to grow in any way.  He said that my body was starting to use up some muscle, and that is one reason I have been feeling so tired and lethargic.  He said to continue with what I have been doing, but add in some beans, 1 egg a day and 2 oz. of fish a day plus berries, lots of kale, and one apple per day. 

I was so excited to eat the 2 oz of fish the first night with my salad, it was heavenly. 

He also gave me a chiropractic adjustment which has made my whole body feel different and better.  One back problem that I've had for over a year was gone immediately.

Within one day, I noticed that I had so much more energy!  Today it has been so noticeable.   It is a night and day difference from last week.

I put off taking my blood test on Tuesday, because I wanted to make these changes.  So, I went in this morning, and my hcg level is at 1704 (last week was 3336.5)  Yeay!

Tonight we finished helping Bob re-clean all the units in our four-plex.  The numerous leaks have been fixed, everything is cleaned up, the walls are re-patched and painted, and now Bob is just working to put new faucets, etc. on.  We have some tenants moving in within the next few days.  Life is looking good.
