Wow, I had an awful night’s sleep! I woke up with night sweats, the sheets were wet and I was having terrible bad dreams. It was like I had a fever that broke in the middle of the night and I felt delirious. I drank a lot of ginger tea yesterday so perhaps I increased my basal temperature a little too much. The other thing was that the Toowoomba floods happened overnight and I was anxious about that before I went to bed. Either way I will go to bed early tonight and read.

I am drinking lots of chlorophyll in my water during Detox. Chlorophyll is the compound that gives plants their green colour and interestingly it is very similar in structure to haemoglobin, which is responsible for the transport of oxygen around the body. Recent research published in the Cancer Prevention Research has shown that chlorophyll prevents the absorption of aflatoxin, a toxin found in many contaminated grains and legumes which leads to liver damage. This demonstrates the powerful antioxidant capacity of chlorophyll. Eating chlorophyll rich foods such as parsley, rocket, kale and spinach will also be effective.
