The Live Green Smoothie Diet

The very latest update on the subject as of January 4, 2010:

Mole One never returned and left no visible evidence of ever existing. It is currently completely unblemished skin where there used to be quite  large mole straddling my collarbone. And Mole Two (a much older, deeper mole) also never returned; and although the remaining skin is just slightly discolored and raised, it has continued to become less visible.

Mole One

About two months before I launched my Live Green Smoothie Diet site, my first large mole fell off. I’d had a couple small ones painlessly shuck themselves off, but there was one large-ish mole along my left collarbone that was an irregular shape, and I wanted it gone. Knowing that stories are not uncommon of the body discarding moles as one’s raw and living foods consumption increases, I just set the intention, gave the mole a little talking to (”Sayonara, baybee…”) and left it at that.

It wasn’t too long afterwards that the edges of the mole started to become “itchy”, like they wanted to be picked at gently. So I obliged, very gently. And over the course of no more than two weeks of this gentle manual sloughing off, the thing was gone, utterly and completely, no raised texture whatsoever. I thought that was just the coolest thing, because this was a serious-sized mole and it was painless. There was a tiny bit of bleeding at one point, but no biggee. And now, the skin where it used to be is perfectly healthy!

Mole Two

So after a few weeks, I turned my attention to a neighboring mole, which was just two inches lower than the first one, and which is actually very nicely placed. Could be considered a bonafide “beauty mark” the way one on the cheek sometimes gets that reputation. But, I figured… let’s say farewell to all these little bits of blemish. Why not? And that’s the next mole I set my sights on.

This time, the mole did not “speak to me first” with itchiness. I played with it a bit in the way that the first one seemed to respond so well to. And I couldn’t believe it, but it started to respond. I’d had this one I think since I was a teenager, so I guess it’s deeper? That’s my theory… I’m no expert on moles. But it’s about 3/4 gone, and it’s been about a week.

Moles Three and Four

At the same time, there are two flattish moles on my back, one rather large, both of them new in the scheme of things. And they’re also working themselves off!

The pattern is that the mole scabs a bit from the manipulation, and after a couple days of healing the scabbed portion can be worked off, and part of the mole naturally goes with it. As this process progresses, the mole recedes. It’s gentle, although there can be a bit of blood. And the skin healing itself nicely is an obvious part of the progress.

Maybe it’s gross, I think it’s cool. Renewal. That’s what it’s all about, in my book. Renewal.
