I Stand here
The past few days, have been all about incorporating a healing process and hence it was hard to make time to write, finally I can stand without being in pain.
Part 1: Out of no-where I developed these painful blisters on my foot and sole, so painful that wearing shoes, walking, standing, climbing the stairs, getting out of bed in the morning and every mundane activity which I had taken for granted before become hard.
Part 2: Finally after a few back and forth visit to the doctors, they classified it as eczema. After which started my journey of reading and finding which lead me to understand that a heavy liver could be one of the causes for eczema, coupled with stress, lack of sleep, dehydration and a ton more.

Part 3: of the process was the healing journey and I found a liver cleanse ritual, which involved cutting out all the unwanted stuff, that list is long, NO — dairy, gluten, meat, salt, sugar and preservatives for 9 days. Giving the body the energy it needs from fresh veggies, greens and fruits to aid with the healing, instead of it trying to use those resources for digesting bad food.
Part 4: I’m happy to finally report, its healing not everything is gone, but I’m in so much less pain, I applied the steroids only for 5 days even though I was asked to do so for 2 weeks, and I hope this is end of it. Food what we consume is a religion follow it religious, it is like work be diligent and aware of what you eat, its like time its precious don’t waste it and use it to nourish your body and mind.
This is my first time ever trying a cleanse out of desperation because the pain got so bad and I did not want the steroids to hide my symptoms and come back with a vengeance, now I’m more conscious of what I eat. Life has its ways of talking to you!
