Has anyone else seen the large, centerfold style ads for triple therapy in magazines? They show a ragged but athletic man or woman kickboxing and smashing the HCV? While I don't like advertising trying to sell potentially toxic drugs, it's such an improvement over the ad campaign in the NYC subways a few years back -- pictures of men and women with swollen, beaten, bleeding faces and the caption, "If Hep C was doing to your face what it's doing to your liver, would you get treatment?"

I'm trying to make that shift in my own life -- from acting out of fear to acting from power, so it's a nice reminder. I'd been scared the past week or so because my ph was stuck in alkaline, (even though the health food community has been into alkaline diets for a few years now). But my husband reminded me how much more energy I have on this treatment, how I laugh more (which is so much easier to do when I'm not counting down the hours 'til I can go back to sleep). I do feel an increase in well-being, so I'm trying to trust that and not feel scared or like I'm failing. And I have been enjoying eating more chocolate, corn, and bread.
Glad Mak posted about Rave. I was trying to eat eggs to get more acidic, but I don't like the feel of them, so I stopped. Not to mention that the happy chickens they show on the box probably don't stay that way once they stop laying so many eggs. Maybe when I find out about an old age home for chickens I'll eat eggs again...
