For delicious change, try it with lemon and hiney, or your favorite sweetner

9:31 a.m. Sunday.  Feeling FINE.  I can't believe this.  I have a mild headache, but much like my labor pains being "nothing compared to my period cramps," and I kept wondering when it was really going to hurt, which is why my daughter was born 20 minutes after I got to the hospital, this headache is nothing compared to my hormonal headaches.  I just find this interesting, because when I fasted in the past -- incidentally, using all kinds of expensive purchased detox formulas and regimens -- I felt like I was going to die.  I was in detox the way a heroin addict is in detox. (well, I exaggerate a little) Not this time.  Perhaps that's the difference.  Perhaps it is more gentle this time because I am not using anything harsh.  Perhaps that also means the detox is not really happening, though. 

Is it just that I'm having hallucinations from the fast, or what?  I just read more closely that Blood Pressure Tea formulation.  It lists Horny Goat Weed as an ingredient (and a couple other things) but then says it has ZERO of it in it. Hmmmm. 

Then I read the instructions.  Well, I didn't read them.  I skimmed them.  And my proofreader eyes honed right in on the sentence that is used for the title of this post.  (typos left in.) Could you just DIE?

So speculating, speculating.  Is the ease of this fast because of the Blood Type Diet that I (95%) follow now?  Is it because of my age?  Is it because of Bikram?  Is it because of not using the fasting/detoxing agents?

Wondering if I should go to yoga at 4.

was the typo in your headline on porpoise?
;-)

I enjoy just about all food, but something with 'hiney' in it? Thanks, I think I'll pass...

[Carol]

~snort~ I guess a hiney a day keeps the doctor away.

[sandy]

No. It's because you have consumed hiney. No good can come of that.
:D
You are my hero, she says while eating a toast. So, of course, I TOAST you.
xo

[Ruth]

Hmmmm.... Horny Goat Weed with a helping of hiney. No wonder you feel good!

[Anne]

Have you been steeping your tea longer for "stonger flavor"? I wonder if stonger and hiney make for a tasty combination... (typos intact on website, too!)

[Rachel H]

Anyone's hiney in particular?

[Angie]

Thanks for the fasting chronicle with imbedded humor! I've never fasted in an offical capacity so I'm reading your posts (especially about the hiney) with much interest. :-)

[isela]

hahahaha! I guess you forgot the hiney in your beverage--maybe that's the reason for the headache

[scout]

That's hilarious!

Be careful if you go to yoga okay? This Jewish mama will worry.

[Rachel]

Did you notice the main ingredient in that tea of yours is:
PROPRIETARY BLEND OF HERBS 880 Mg (which is another typo I am almost sure, I think the right mark is: mg, no?)
I am not sure I would have trusted such a blend for anything let alone lowering my blood pressure!
And to Scout the proper name for a Jewish mama in such context is PJM :)

[Elisabeth]

I think the 0 means that it has a trace amount. Or not. I mean, what can you expect from a company that recommends you put your hiney in your tea?

[JoVE]

You do mostly have a healthy diet so maybe there just aren't as many toxins as previously despite the donuts and diet coke.

Yoga might be a risk. All that heat and exercise with no food intake?

[Cookie]

Ya know, some hineys are naturally sweet.

Just sayin'...

[Vicki]

Hahaha, I'm not sure I'd believe ANYthing on that label. ; )

[Christine]

Does that Blood Type Diet work for you? I thought about giving it a go, but I love red kidney beans and they are the no-no list for me.

[Jenny]

Maybe it IS a typo, maybe they meant "Heine" as in a German stud muffin!
I would forget about food if I had me one of those!!!

[Sarah]

You may need a separate detox if you consume too much hiney. Of course, you're fortunate that it is even allowed for your blood type.

[Carol]

I would be concerned about the ingredients in the tea. There have been numerous reports over the last 5 years or so of various "herbal" products that turned out to have prescription medication in 'em. Serious meds, not just a water pill or something. Is your tea made in China? If so, I wouldn't take it! I'm betting the detox is easier because you just decided to do it, without outside interference (honey, you really SHOULD detox), the lack of meds and the fact that clearly your body was ready. which would explain why you just got up and did it!

[Rabbitch]

Heh.

Just ... heh.

Then again lemon and hiney has to be better than the burned wool and vinegar going on Chez Lapin.

[Sil]

Oh my god, I love Goat Weed Horn! What the hell are you talking about woman, donuts sound so much better than hiney...

[Debi]

A little heiney is good for whatever ails ya dontcha know? :)

[KnittyOtter]

I read the previous post first. Then the title of this and immediately thought the detox hallucinations had hit you. *L* Glad it's just the tea company. Though perhaps considering all the oddities with it you should pitch it. :P

[AuntieAnn]

LOL -- I have been thinking of posting pix of the herbal medicine that my acupuncturist gave me, although there is nary any Horny Goat Weed or hiney.
