My poor hub, Josh, is now sick with this nasty cold. He looks alot like I felt a couple of short weeks ago - huddled on the couch with blankets and tissues all around him. He's got a fever that comes and goes, although it doesn't get very high (thank God). He feels like death warmed over and can't wait to join the land of the living again...
Just a couple of days before he began feeling so horrible, he started a 21-day cleanse. He's subsisting on whey protein shakes (4 a day), supplements that provide healthy fiber and liver-cleansing herbs, and meals of vegetables and fruits. He has completely cut out all other foods, including meat, coffee, cereal... you name it. If it's "normal" it's not on his plate. So, I'll keep you all updated as this cleanse progresses. I'm sure the drastic shock to his system did not help his immune system while we're smack dab in the middle of cold and flu season, so I'm "supplementing" his cleanse routine with some organic chicken soup and Airborne for a couple of days. Hopefully that will help him to heal more quickly. Aside from the issue of the cold, we're pretty excited about this whole deal. Weaning off of caffeine, refined sugar, and fast-food fats while learning to eat alot more veggies and fruits - who doesn't need that?!?!
So, I'll post some progress pics of our beloved Josher as soon as he begins to feel better (seems kind of demeaning to point a camera at him all bundled up on the couch...) so we can all watch him be cleansed from the inside out... :-)
Much love...

Did you guys make up your own cleanse? I haven't done one in a while and last time I did, it was expensive, so I'd love to put my own program together, if you have advice...
Oh, now that is just sad. Hope it doesn't last too long. Coincidently, both of his sisters have been a little "under the weather" this past week. Kelly a little worse than Amanda, I think. Glad you have all that 'good stuff' going through him. Are you better now?
Josh thinks he's feeling better, after a hard night of constant coughing. :-( Thankfully, I'm almost fully recovered from my complaints, so I'm able to keep up with Josh... And Heather, the cleanse he's doing is a system we learned about thru our chiropractor. I think you could recreate a home version. I'll email you my thoughts.
