My name is Glenda Hurtado. I learned about the 21 Day Detox through our Health/Wellness Ministry at church. I became very much interested because I was desperately looking for an alternative to alleviate my 12 long years of migraines. The only concern I had when the detox began was that I was going to be out of town on week three of the program. I had already planned a vacation trip to Florida, and I didn't want to struggle with not being able to finish. Before beginning the detox, I consulted with Dr. Masoud about the challenge ahead, he was more than supportive, and gave the the okay to move on with the 21 days.
I got all the necessary materials I needed before the trip, and made sure I had a blender in the hotel room. My family and I were blessed with a full kitchen in the resort we stayed in. The first thing I did every morning before going sightseeing was my morning smoothie. I loaded up my smoothie with the basic ingredients: banana, goji berries, purified water, and almonds. I carried a few detox tea bags in my purse just in case my family stopped for a meal, I could have something to sip on while they ate. I made sure I did not go into starvation mode so I would keep myself hydrated all day long. We did a lot of sightseeing: went to Orlando, Tampa Bay, Daytona Beach, and a couple of parks. I would make my energy soup before we would leave the hotel room and carried it with me in a little ice chest purse I had taken with me. I made sure to keep full or to have my liquid meal before going out to dinner, so I wouldn't get tempted.
Another tool I would recommend is to stay in contact with people that are going through and understand what you are going through as well. The whole trip I communicated with my detox buddy. She helped me through those moments of weakness.
I think the key to a successful detox for me was to always be prepared; mentally, emotionally, physically. I have been headache free for 44 days!!!! I feel great. I have gotten so many complements to the point that people think I have gotten Botox. My body is actually doing what it was meant to do without all the extras that I was putting in.
Thank you Dr. Masoud and Ruth for the knowledge, support, guidance, and love I have received from each of you.
