About me..

I was born on a small island located in the north Atlantic Ocean, west and slightly south of Portugal, called Madeira. Its total population is estimated to be around  260,000.

 This island it's like a little paradise on earth and today it is a popular year-round resort, being visited every year by one million tourists. And it is noted for its wine, flowers, landscapes and embroidery artisans.

I was born into a family with very restricted habits of good diet, fresh and organic food and daily exercise. Junk food and sugar were introduced to me when I was already a teenager, I remember I liked it but felt almost instantly the negative effects to my phisical energy.

Life got in the way and I lacked the time and even patience, for healthy life habits. Me, like many other people, put aside all the knowledge about healthy eating and other aspects and started eating  just to have enough strength to move around during the day... and like everyone, it's easier to carry a chocolate bar in your bag than a piece of fruit, right?

New Life

Moving to England I faced another reality and the lack of nutrition in the foods and the daily exposure to a huge amount of toxicity made me constantly tired and sick. I found out latter that I was carrying a bacteria in my stomach that was damaging all my digestive system and was leading me to have a very weak immune system.
So well... here I was in my early 20s feeling like a lady of 80 years old... and sometimes dealing with people double my age, with much more energy and much healthier then me.. Even my mental capacity was at risk at this point and I had no idea what to do.
I started then my search for ways to live my life in a healthier way and correct what I was doing wrong... very wrong..

I searched for people with the same problems as me and had experienced the same problems, I read some books in order to educate myself on how to eat properly and the right nutritional value of some foods.
With time I discovered that this was not an ocasional or unique problem that only I  was carrying.
Many people, even younger than myself where having  many digestives issues, even much more complicated than mine.
After learning, reading and experiencing for myself, some alternative options available to help my body to recover and heal by itself, I came across something new. It is called  Herxheimer reactions. This showed me, that even if I do the right cleanse, I am missing something very important, that is to deal with my body's ability to detox.
Before I do a proper cleanse, I must first prepare properly.
Dr. David K. Hill who is the Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board at dōTERRA International, talks about the importance of getting the nutritional support that the body needs before a periodic cleansing and how to do it.

So following all his advice, combined with the things I have learned, I have developed my own detox programme.
As requested by some friends, I decided to create this blog to inform everyone, step by step on this cleansing program I am about to start.
For those who don't  know me, one year ago I had my first baby and since then I've returned to the old, bad dietary habits. I'm looking forward to restoring my energy and my strength. So let's get started!!
