Today is day 26<\/strong> of my experiment to boost my immune system. I have successfully moved to every-other-day dosages<\/em> with the steroid (prednisone 5mg). I’ve able to drop in 5mg increments faster as my eye has shown no signs of distress. I’ve dropped 13lbs. My goal being all 18. Pretty good considering prednisone causes an unnatural insulin release, thus weight gain.<\/p>\n

At day 21 I ate some sushi and each day after have had a bit of low-hormone animal products. I’m still careful to avoid gluten and cow’s milk. It’s an experiment. I continue with the big salad daily and a smoothie made of frozen fruits and kale. My taste buds have changed. I am much more sensitive to the sweetness of fruit and to any salt. I also noticed a sluggish feeling after consuming meat. Especially\u00a0on waking up the next morning. I did however, sleep harder & sounder. Interesting.<\/p>\n

Last night I made a dinner of brown rice, white fish and a large pot of different squashes steamed. My family loved it with just a bit of blackening spice thrown on. In the past, the fish would have taken a good portion of the plate, but a small amount over the rice did the trick and satisfied my crowd. Much cheeper, I must say!<\/p>\n

They seem to be more interested in what I fix myself. They want to try it without any pressure. Everyone loves the frozen fruit and kale. They also love just frozen bananas<\/em>\u00a0in the food processor like ice-cream.<\/p>\n

I can not call myself a Vegan anymore, but I have learned a lot from this diet and plan to keep going another 30 days. I look at food differently now. It’s more than fuel, it’s medicine. I ask myself, “Is this\u00a0feeding my cells\u00a0and what effect will it have on them?” <\/em>It’s not too late to change at 46 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here’s to your health!<\/em><\/p>\n
