Skin Disease

[Tawnee]

I was introduced to macrobiotics at the age of eight when my mother
started taking cooking lessons. For the pass twenty seven years
she has been very strict. I on the other hand, I continued throughout
my life to indulge in refined foods, chocolate, night shades, and
nicotine. My only salvation was a macrobiotic brunch that I had everyday
because I work for my mother. Through out my life I gained a full
understanding of the macrobiotic way of life, and I am an excellent
macrobiotic cook. Due to my indulgent life style of american refined,
chemicalized food, I also became very knowledgable about natural
healing through macrobiotics. When ever I became sick from my
addictive ways, I quickly change my diet to macrobiotics and plunge into
my natural healing through macrobiotic books (in which I have many).
Now at the age of thirty five my destructive life style has finally caught
up with me. My organs are worn out, and I can see skin disease starting
on my ankles, knees, and knockles. This is so horrifying to me that I have
given up all my addictions for good! I know I must clean my organs
by eating right, detoxing with burdock, garlic, seaweeds, and greens-
excersise (which I get allot of at work), and ginger compresses. I suffered
from a severe headache for two weeks after giving up my addictions, and I
was so tired as the toxins left my body. When I finally started to get my
energy back, I did a ginger comperss on my kidneys. The swellon bags
that have formed under my eyes for years now, made me concentrate on
the kidneys. The next morning my I felt great, but my knees, ankles, and knockles were worse with redness- signs of skin disease. I know I should just let the stuff come out (as all the books state), but I am so scared of
being covered with skin disease, or worse yet - skin disaese that will never go away because my organs maybe damaged beyond repair. What should I do?
