'It is our privilege, our obligation, to create for ourselves a new design for living.  Every time we think, something new is being done.  God is not a static God and there is no time when creation begins, in the eternal now Spirit moves upon the face of the waters.   In the eternal now, by thought, Spirit moves as the Law of the Universe and out of it arises a new creation.'

The Swiss Detox Diet by Dr Rau - Day 5. Get healthier, save the environment by eating more green. The bonus is you will lose weight and slim down!

I embarked on this detox program coupled with prayer retreat (to detox both physical & spiritually) from the 29th Nov, 2010 until now; wish to write an update and the changes experienced:
  In the short span of 4 days:
1. sleep better
2. facial complexion and skin color clearer
3. lip color healthier
4. surprisingly energy level seems to have increased
5. smaller tummy
6. clearer mind (cool & calmer)
7. bonus - loss weight and slimmed down. 

How do I find the program by Dr Rau:
I have went through one program by a self-taught local 'health specialist', the program was much more tiring non-stop preparing detox juices, coffee enema...  I almost gave up on the third day because I was so hungry no solid foods were allowed not even salad for the first week.

I thank God with the strength of prayers and Dr Rau's diet allows you to eat salad, green vegetable, oatmeal...
(next post I'll share with you the diet plan of Dr Rau).
