Mara -- My feeling is that you have too much oil in your diet which is making kidneys clogged and energy dull. You need to cut out nuts completely, no tofu, and use black beans or broad beans (fava) 2 to 3 times per week. No cheese, sesame butter or wheat products, especially those with yeast. Minimize salt intake as well. Try to stay away from baked foods.
No need to do #7 rice fast. This can be very dangerous if you eat only rice. Better to have two whole grain dishes per day using different kinds of grains each time. Also important is to use a small amount of miso with wakame seaweed, onion, and daikon radish or shiitake mushroom in the morning. Make sure to eat plenty of green vegetables and to steam or quickly blanch them in boiling water. A little pressed salad will also help digestion which is most likely hampered from oils so enzymes are somewhat depleted. Miso will help with this too.
Also, if possible you should do Do-In (self Shiatsu) every morning,
and/or Tai Chi. Walk in the outdoors whenever you can get the chance. Ginger compress on both kidney area and on intestines will also help, but do this only 2 times daily for no longer than 20 minutes per session.
You can drink green tea, banacha tea, but put a small piece of dried Dong Quai root in it while steeping. Chew and eat the piece of root. This has very balancing affect on hormones and
is slighty sedative. I would take away sleeping pill altogether, and if really needed it is better to take something like Valerian
tea or Catnip combined with Hops (50/50%). Mineral water can also be taken or coffee substitute like Roma, Pero, etc. No cold drinks at all.
Try these suggestions for 1 month and then back to us to know how things are going. A little fish would be OK on occassion, but broil or bake it...
I hope this helps.
In peace, Roy
