Week four

Week four:
     So, I have made my initial goal of 21 days on the Raw Milk program and  will spend this week SLOWLY intergrating whole foods back into my diet.
    I have to say, that I have for sure seen some positive health benefits to this treatment. I went into to this with the hope that it would be benefitial to a number of health problems that were plaguing me. I don't feel so much like it was a one time "cure", but more like a major jump start & an ongoing aid.
These are the affects I have experienced:
    A definate reset/cleanse to my palate.  I no longer suffer major salt and sugar cravings!!!
    I have successfully reduced my medication in half and my blood sugar is more stable now than I can ever remember.
    My hair, skin and nails are no longer dry and brittle. Actually quite soft & supple.
    My digestion seems to be getting back on track. I used to be a twice a week(if I was lucky!) gal, now it's more like every other day.
    The constant bloated feeling is gone & I have lost four inches in my waist. The number on the scale hasn't gone down remarkably, but this was never intended to be a weight loss diet. However, I can feel (and it shows) that I have replaced some body fat with muscle.
    My energy levels are quite where I would like them to be, but are definately an improvement from my "before".
    Time will tell what affects this has had on my low immune system...I am hoping for the best!!

I am welcoming these changes and embracing Raw Milk as part of my new, healtheir life style. It will continue to be a part of my daily health regime indefinately.  
I have a formal dr.'s follow up next week and will be posting some actual statistics then. I'll keep checking in this week as I am winding down from this process.
     As always, I am happy to answer any questions and open to feed back!
A special THANK YOU to Organic Pastures and the Mcafee family for being so supportive and taking part in this process/transformation. We are lucky to have such an amazing, organic, commited family dairy farm in our area...thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!
Cheers!
