Hi Tania,
Sure, I'm glad I could help
I would also definately read the book by George Ohsawa (english version by William Dufty) called "You are all Sanpaku". It is very inspiring and has taught me to eat only macrobiotic. Eating only organic brown rice, organic cabbage soup with carrots and organic lentils. And staying away from all refined sugars, sweets, meat, flour, bread.
I'm starting my colon cleansing tonite, my husband and I are starting it tonite and fasting at the same time. Coffee and other organic ingredients will be used in the colon cleansing. I would recommend reading that book first and then start the colon cleansing. In seven to ten days only, everything bad in the intestines will come out, and you will no longer feel any bloatedness, tiredness, depression. It's because there are bad toxins in the intestines in which makes us depressed, tired, fatigued, angry etc. Also, eating macrobiotics before colon cleansing won't help at all for it will not help absorb the food properly. So I would still eat only organic foods and do the colon cleansing, and then once everything toxic is out of the intestines, organic foods (macrobiotic) will be soooooo nurishing to the body and you won't feel tired, any anger, depression, bloatedness.
I hope this helps you as well...
kind regards,
katie
