Last night …

Here I go, folks…first dose (1 pack) of the tonic prescribed by and made by my acupuncturist who is licensed in Chinese medicine. She has a huge cabinet of all kinds of Chinese herbs which are selected and brewed over a four hour process. It was the consistency of thick prune juice and tasted and smelled like I crawled through the forest primeval on my face. Very organic. Barks, roots, leaves, cinnamon bark, fungi that probably grew between an old man’s toes. I did it. It went down. Feels OK but I really have to brush my teeth. Next dose in the morning. No food two hrs before or after. If anything it prevented me from picking at a key lime cake bar from Dean & Deluca.

This morning …

It somehow tastes worse this morning. Thinking about reconsidering… Two hours to food.
