The creature tore through her insides like a thing ravaged by the demons from the churning fire pits of hell. Its nails tore at her stomach causing an agony of syncopated wails and heart wrenching screams. Millions of undulating serpents traveled through her intestines creating waves of discomfort and unease…

In other words, I took a supplement that in my heart of hearts I knew that I should leave alone. As I look on the ingredients list now (after the remainder of the bottle has been flushed down the loo), I realize that all but one of the ingredients are avoids and the one is a neutral…and way down on the list (not a lot of it in the little capsule). This was a free supplement with this month’s superfood (Dr. Shulze), and I know I should know better, but I thought, eh…what could it hurt? Ummmm….duh! It hurt my insides, like, A LOT!!

It’s funny, because as I think back to pre-BTD life, I consumed two whole bottles of this stuff thinking that I was doing my body some good. All that happened was that I felt crappier, ended up on prescription acid reflux stuff and eventually began taking $290/month Chinese herbs. Who knew that for a fraction of that money I could have eaten right for my blood type and healed all hurts! Ah well…ca c’est la vie…

The good news is that with some fresh tofu, bennie veg. fritters, sweet potato fries, sour cream, watermelon and yogurt (not all together!)…I’m well on my way to intestinal comfort. I even had coffee to no ill effect!

Here’s hoping that y’all are enjoying the dog days of summer. Be well…
