Ask Brenda Watson

First, I want to say how much I appreciate your time and energy in responding.

In April I started taking the Paragone.  I thought my problem was in my liver.  More specifically I thought my symptoms were caused by liver flukes.  I had tried several liver cleanses ( the grapefruie and olive oil cleanse) before I left to come to Fla out of desperation to try to stop the hives.  I was able to get out some very odd things out – but still was slick.

After revelation of what I had to do to heal my gut from reading Gut Solutions I started 15 days on 5 off of 5 sequential Paragone kits.  While doing this I took 3 doses of Pysillium daily which resulted in getting rid of allotof very odd matter!  After that I did a 5 day fast which again, made me very, very sick.  I took a few weeks off of cleansing.  Next I did the Organic Whole body for 2 weeks.  Next I started the Candigone – 1 kit and started the Liver Cleanse simultaneously.  During my Candigone I read the HOPE information and I started all the four steps daily.

Currently, I am still doing Liver Cleanse and HOPE (all your Renew Life brand).

My Diet:

I drink 1 gallon of water per day through out the day. 

I have not had sugar/fruit/sweetener with the exception of Sweet Life Stevia in some Greek yogurt - for 6 months or so.

A.M. Upon rising I take 2 Candida Enzyme capsules. … 45 minutes..50 Bill Critical Pro-biotic.  ..half hour…. Water.  … half hour…. 1 serving Smart Fiber.  1 cup of coffee with cream…..A.M. Liver Cleanse.

Breakfast.  I eat 1 whole grain organic english muffin with butter and scrambled eggs.  I take digestive enzymes and fish oil.

1 serving of Renew Liquid Greens

1 more coffee with cream

Dinner.  6/7 days I eat organic chicken with organic vegetables and brown rice.  I take digestive enzymes and fish oil.

1 serving of psyllium

1 more coffee with cream

snack.  I eat salt free organic potato chips….. 1 hour later psyllium drink or Smart Fiber.

Bedtime:  P.M. Liver Cleanse.  Melatonin.  Zyrtec. I usually wake at night I take 2 capsules of Candida Enzymes.

I will say that I am feeling so much better now -  I know I have to live this life style now to feel my best – however,  I am still unable to really get back to my proper weight and I still have hives. 

Looking forward to my best years of health ever!!

In His Service,

What an honor to be able to speak with Brenda herself! 

THE START:   I am 41 years old and for over two years I felt like I was aging rapidly like I was 80+!!!  I have(had) extreme auto immune problems – Fibro, Lupus, Rosacea, endometriosis and most awfully – chronic urticaria (hives) - emprisoned with taking Zyrteks every 18 hours or I would look like the creature from the black lagoon (huge swollen face and lips).   I put on over 50 pounds in a six month period.  Swelling was outrageous.  I could not sleep.  Depressed.  Migranes daily.   Red faced.  Bad breath, swollen gums.  Jumping legs at night.  My hands and gone numb.  My hair had fallen out.  I could not seem to catch my breath ever.  My bowels movements were devoid of color. I had completely stopped digesting food properly.  I never had any hunger pains or any acid symptoms at all – due to my body stopping making what was needed for digestion.  But my panic came when I started 'pooling' lymph fluid in my hands, feet and around my belly in a most alarming fashion.  I swelled to twice my size.  I was headed for a serious health crisis!

THE JOURNEY:  By the grace of God I found and bought all of Brenda's books – they lay at my bedside during my time of 'RESET' for constant re-affirmation.  The best is Gut Solution and Detox.  They need to be required reading for every person in High School.  I moved to FLA to start to cleanse and RENEW my whole life seven months ago.  I eat a VERY strict candida diet and I started with the Organic Whole body cleanse, followed by Candida and Parasite cleanes, switching from one to the othercombined with the Liver Detox- for over 7 months now.  I follow the HOPE rules as well.  Soon to due heavy metal cleansing after I finish removing all my mercury from my curranium (ugh).

When I first began cleansing I was sooo very sick!!! and I actually became much sicker.  I was in bed for actual weeks with just the change in my diet alone.  My second brain found 'issues' from my childhood even. I cried and laid in be while my poor husband tried to console me.   I know that I have/had extreme leaky gut and candida - and it takes time to heal with diligence in taking my suppliments and strict diet.  I also started daily exercise and sauna sweats, which were impossible before – my joint pain prohibited me from even walking to my car. 

RENEWAL:  I am on the road to MUCH IMPROVED HEALTH.  I no longer have raging rosaea, my face now glows.  I no longer feel like I MUST eat every 2 hours,  I am free from food addiction.  I no longer have a distented belly! I have lost weight, but I try not to focus on that for now.  My health is priority and my weight will follow.  No more headaches.  No joint pain AT ALL.  No more depression.  Hair stopped falling out and it actually shines.  Thank you Branda (and God too!)  - without your books to guide me I would not be feeling so much better now.!!!!!

So – my question – I tried to stop taking Zyrteks a few days ago, convinced that my good state of health no longer required the toxic junk any more- it was my last connection to my OLD state of poor health.  To my heart break and amazement, I woke at 4 a.m. with the worst case of hives I have had in a year.  I keep an epi-pen around at all times still and I was considering it.

Why after all my diligence – am I still in such a state of 'inflammation' and allergy??  I eat a very, very strict candida diet.  Does if really take this long (7 months) to heal a leaky gut and stop allergic reactions?

Thanks again… Tina
