Days 26 to 28 - Arthritis?

Wild salmon with garlic, kale, brown rice, carott

I regret not taking a picture of the knuckle on the baby finger of my right hand.  When I started the cleanse the knuckle was red, swollen and very tender to move and touch. I think part of me didn't want to talk about my finger on Day 1 in case the problem didn't improve, I should have known better!  My finger is 90% better.  The redness is gone, it doesn't hurt to move it and it is tender only when I press hard directly on the knuckle.  I'm confident that if I continue to eliminate refined sugar and flour, the finger will be perfect within a month.  So many people don't need to suffer with inflammation and pain, food is the answer.

The stack is finished and then brown rice pasta, homemade sauce, hemp seeds for dinner

Green salad, brown rice pasta with garlic shrimp

We haven't been eating fancy or complicated dinners on this cleanse but if you're more adventurous and have time then I would reccomend the Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook by Pat Connolly.  I have this book and use it for inspiration.  Many people delay a cleanse like this because they are worried about the cooking and finding tasty recipes, well I say dive in and figure it out as you go along, today is the perfect day to start feeling better.

Over the last few days, as the cleanse is coming to an end, I have felt a sense of urgency to complete nagging projects.  First,  I finally organized and filed a big stack of papers that I have been avoiding for about six months, okay more like 18 months.  Next I wanted to work on my office.  My Wildberry partner Trish and I work opposite days in the office so even though we are business partners we never see each other.  We both really wanted to get some paintings up on the office walls so we finally forced the issue and squeezed 30 min into our busy schedules and now we have two lovely paintings for clients to enjoy.  These paintings are both by a friend's friend Laura Higgins.   When I look at these paintings I think of "Wild" for the one on the left and "berry" for the right.  I have owned and stored these paintings for 10 years and now they finally have the perfect home.
