About a year ago, as I was starting to seriously pursue getting my health in shape I wrote a thread here called Toxic Overload

This was in the begging phase of trying to fix myself... and simple things were having good results for me.

I would like to, for everyone here, who is concerned about fluoride, pesticides, pollution, germs like swine flu or into the Eastern arts etc, etc et al... present the results I have had.

I am a person who... rarely is serious, I swear, what I am about to share is 100% the truth.



2 years ago, I was, a regular user, drinking and many worse things which I should not mention. I also over ate excessively and all the worst foods, sodas, microwave ables, fast food...

life was always easy on me, I am smart, studied very hard, know how to make money... Like many Americans this led to EXCESS on my part in every possible way, including what I can only say I could call sex addiction

I was diagnosed following my divorce with...

Chrons disease

Parkinsons disease

Diabetes

and Arthritis

In addition to various psychological and physical addictions I was also developing a curvature of the spine

Today, I have not a single symptom of any of the above

Now for most of the first year... I simply sought therapy and discontinued the bulk of my rotten habits

But little changed... I had no energy, I was still sick with all of the above, could hardly work, if I didn't work on the net I would have been unemployable

so i took it on myself to detoxify... I started with Dry saunas and meditation, specifically Prananyama

as I saw some results I accelerated

and about 4 months ago, I just took things to a new level...

I asked myself, in an attempt... to really look at life, why I follow anything I am told and simply changed it all

let me tell you about my diet and regimen today, a similar path I now follow every day

Breakfast

1 glass of Odwalla Super food juice, 1 shot of liquid Resveritrol

Lunch

1/2 bag of Carrots, another glass of odwalla and 2 cups of organic yogurt

Dinner

1 small Buffalo Burger (the only red meat approved by the heart association ) on un toasted whole grain bread, a large serving of asparagus and an Avacado with black pepper... OJ for drink, organic, not from concentrate

I do supplement a drink water through the day as well filtered

about an hr after dinner... 3 15 min sessions in the dry sauna, 30 minutes of swimming, 30 minutes of stretching, 30 minutes of weight training

before bed I will also do Pranayama...


The results

I no longer have a single symptom of any disease... not a trace of chrons, not a trace of parkinsons not a trace of diabetes a doctor could find...

a few days back I went for a haircut

4 months ago, I had splotches of grey, when she cut my hair... there was nothing but Brown hair, all my Greys had turned brown from the roots... I swear to g-d...

more than that the small bald spot I had developed on the back of my head was simply gone.

My skin, is oily, it has de aged what I can only say must be a decade, when guessed at... I am told my age seems to be aprox 26 on average, I will be 39 this summer

my spine has straightened, I went from 5' 10" last year to 5 11 1/2 of what was my full 6 ft in my prime as of this week...

despite low cal, I have put 2 inches on my biceps and dropped my body fat % by 18% this year

I both spelunk regularly and mountain climb again... 2 things which 2 years ago I had lost entirely and even a year ago when I had begun again had difficulty with

where I had arthritis I can now do full splits

where I had parkinsons I can balance on one foot and extend my leg straight out behind me with out so much as shaking, my front snap kick hits almost 8 feet with a jump with force, from parkinsons, to being able to kick Shaq in the jaw at full power if I wanted to

I swam the length of an Olympic sized pool 2x consecutively underwater tonight where once I would get out of breath on a single flight of stairs and my knees would ache.



the thing is, all it took was a gym membership and a complete reduction of all excess in my life...

I had to confront after a year of abstinence from chemicals, that it was not...just the excess partying that caused my symptoms

It was... this entire life...

The pollution, the food... the stress

I gave up things like Cable... I haven't had cable in a year

I gave up masturbation, I gave up porn

I do live... quite a bit I go out once a week for a few drinks but never in excess...

I drink... a glass of water with every drink, I haven't had a hangover in 2 years

I never do narcotics... I never take a single scrip

I refused ALL medications offered me

once a week I treat myself to a nice American style dinner (with wine to cut through it) and smoke a nice cigar

But I never allow a habit, I follow rules and detox, every single day

My Kidney function is 100% so is My Liver



at 38 I had to ask a simple question above all else... in my quest to be healthy I could find hardly anything to eat in the stores and one day I asked...

"since I am no longer growing, why is it I have to eat?"

The only answer I came up with was, aside from a small amount of fuel... you really don't need nearly the amount of food we consume...

and it was then, with food reduction that the improvements just began to accelerate, that the detox could work

no longer do I consume endless hormones and anti biotics daily, on the light diet I can comfortably afford organic produce, no plastics touch my food, no aluminum.

My sex drive which I had all but ruined is that of a teenager again (trust me sex addiction does not help your performance )

I am reentering school to get my PHD

I am doing well in a depression economically


My Doctor... he wants to run more tests, says he can't understand how I can be producing dopamine and insulin again naturally

I told him simply... the body produces all the stem cells you can ever need if you just don't overload yourself and give them a chance to work

and left it at that


There is soooo much I would like to share and will willingly answer any questions, I have learned so much this year about true health, about how toxic the world we live in has become...

I offer this to you all simply because... clear, I see so much mental and physical illness around me and I feel that, things are spiraling out of control and that we are killing ourselves

so many things like... how the mind perceives fantasy and visual information as reality and why I have come to see that porn and tv are killers in any significant quantity...

How food in excess over burdens the body

How many things cause dopamine to cascade ruining the cells not just of your brain but your whole body, how food, how images, how even noise causes this to happen

what a pleasant sound or smell can do for the mind



They say the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom... perhaps it did for me

But I am here simply to say... you don't have to walk the road and learn the lesson the hard way

you don't have to anguish over fluoride or chemicals or toxins or mental illnesses or disease

you really can control and fix it all, by simply ... keeping it simple

You see I wrote toxic overload when I had realized... but not before I had proven I was right to myself

I felt the need tonight to share my results in hopes that a few will listen understand I am telling the truth about myself and where I have been and how it changed me

You see

I have found...

whatever they throw at us... hormones, pesticides, propaganda, negative images, drugs, pornography, false ideologies, fluoride... fear, lifestyle

none of it can harm you

none of it

if you simply stop consuming and start releasing the garbage

Detoxification

it's a big word, it applies mentally, physically and spiritually

a year ago, I had begun to understand how to detoxify the body... partially

now, I have the whole game down and i'm never going back



I hope to visit you all on my 120th Birthday and I hope sincerely when that time comes, we can look back and see the kind of events we like to predict and discuss in here never unfolded, that... I am not alone in doing a simple thing, rejecting poison and with that one person at a time... we all heal

Thing is, we produce the worst and deadliest toxin of all... Stress Hormones

So... take these things we discuss with a light heart, don't be so SURE the end is nigh

it's not, it's all going to be okay

So long as you have your health, nothing else matters and no... you don't need a big house or a great economy or a religion or a single philosophy or government... none of it matters except who you are and how you feel, from those things from that seed all things come

If we loose it all... it doesn't matter, you will be healthier and happier

Trust me... I once already lost it all... I have no fear of any of this any more

From the bottom you see, there is really no where to go, nothing to do but die or go up again, better than before... it is a choice.

In 11 days, I give up my pad in the best neighborhood in my city (best is subjective as in wealth) in exchange for the woods... many moons ago, when I made this plan, it was to escape SHTF day...

Today, I do it to try and photograph wildlife and maybe cryptids if lucky and have better access to my caves and mountains

Today, it's just another step in dealing with the toxic overload

On one last thought... try to deny ignorance, but do not spread fear, because the mind truely does make belief reality.

I have a refreshing drink for you.

Squeeze out two limes, use the pulp too. Fill glass with filtered water. Use sodium saccharin or real sugar or honey as a sweetner. Ice.

ty

I use a very similar drink when I fast

Lemons and Honey... Organic sometimes from local sources for immunity to local allergens.

Manuka Honey the rest of the time for it's anti bacterial properties

About once a month I will go 48 without any food at all, don't ever start so intensely though 12 hrs is fine for a start, your body will have no ability to handle much longer at first

But this is almost identical to what I drink

Hey , great post Mop.
Now i can completely understand what you were saying in my thread. Well done on your successful mission to return to normal. Though, if i read between your lines i think what your trying to say is that; Theres always a better kind of normal!.
I may u2u if you dont mind to get some specifics on some ingredients you use.

Im 31, so on your 120th, ill be 111, check you then !!!

Thank you for your amazing post! S+F

Its funny how many people are waking up to the fact that we should be treating our vessels a lot better. I have recently gone on a health binge and it has really impacted my life. I still have a few more things to work on but your post is very inspiring!

TY and I will be staying tuned for more info!!

A long time ago a good fiend in the medical profession said to me...

There is only one thing you need to know of Disease and it is the very name

Dis Ease

Eliminate that and you will never need a doctor again

Somewhere in all of this those words stuck, when diagnosed... I opted off of treatment, including insulin for which the doctor said i was risking death...

But that simple statement had stuck with me all those years and I opted for a different path...

It seems to me, as if much of disease actually does not exist

I'm not referring to colds or flus or broken arms for which, there are real causes

But the supposedly in curable aliments

I think perhaps the reason there is no cure for parkinsons, or heart disease or arthritis or other diseases is genuinely because they are indeed self or environmentally inflicted

I was... on my way to a death bed, but yet no know bacteria or virus or even genetic condition has actually been found to explain all of the cases of these sorts of ailments


yes, as you say our body is a vessel

but I would offer, none of what I did is anything new, the practices are in fact very old, simply ignored

very nice thread and im so happy for you that i want to be happy for me now

i like to eat everything so i can arrange my menu as much as i want...the thing is im very thin so i never considered food as much as a threat whilst in reality it is..it effect the way you feel and think even if ur skinny like me

Its funny you mentioned the Dis-ease thing. My friends mother is very intuitive, I always thought psychics were a joke until I met her and she gave me a few readings. They were specific and deadly accurate. One example, she told me I would meet a girl named Leah while I was at school.

I went to Umass Dartmouth and was attending a random party the night of the reading. We were at the entrance of the house and a girl parted a sea of people, walked right up to me, and put her hand out. "Hi I'm Leah" I looked her in the eye and almost turned around and walked out of the party. Now i have never met a girl named Leah in my life, and this random girl picks me out in a sea of people? That is just one of the examples of how in tune with the earth my friends mother is. Off topic I know but it ties in.

She has a particular healing method using water that has helped many people, in 2 cases baffling doctors. This all may seem a little extreme but I can assure you, I don't lie.

So she mentions this dis-ease thing to me and that its just a state of mind. My friend tells me "Ryan, the woman has literally not been sick in 30 years. Not one sniffle, not one missed day of work." This woman is a true inspiration to me and spends 2-3 hours of her night praying and healing people, some of which she has never met before.

It just goes to show what you can do if you are in tune with your body and this world. Well said Mopus, you set an amazing example for people to follow. Keep up the good work!!!

Excellent thread and I commend you for such a radical transformation. My mother (72) was diagnosed as mildly diabetic and she changed her diet, when tested after about 4-5 weeks the doctor said that the change was quite dramatic and said she was a great example to us all.

I am currently trying to do something similar to yourself although I am pretty weak willed and easily distracted. At present I am about 2 stone overweight, I don't smoke, I like a bottle or two of red wine at the weekend but that's pretty much me. I own a design company which is pretty stressful, money and deadline worries got on top of me last year and I got Bells Palsy (the nerves in my face went into shock) which means that I was like John Merrick for about 6 weeks, not much fun. My wife bought me a bike and I bought a rowing machine with great intentions of improving my well being... both are currently residing in the garage gathering dust

I am now having another go..

I have been trying to meditate at night often taking my ipod to bed, I've switched to decaffinated coffee and have started to drink herbal teas more often. As a family we have increased our fruit, vegetable & fish intake but we are still guilty of too much white pasta, white bread and potatoes. I try to swim twice a week if work pressure doesn't get in the way.

Lack of determination and inconsistency is my biggest downfall as yet I haven't lost an ounce in weight and don't feel any benefits as such.. Any advice for those weak minded fools like me to maintain the daily routine so that the full benefit can be felt?

Kindest thanks

Berth

Excellent thread.

YOu have motivated me in a direction I have been considering for a while.
I fear I am not strong enough though. I smoke, eat healthy meals but fill gaps with junk, have other bad habits and generally don't exercise... meditation is my only good point but I don't do it enough.
I can't believe the things I would hope would happen happened to you, it makes things much more worth pursuing.
Things I will find easy... exercise, healthy food and meditation.
Things I will find hard... not smoking (anything), cable, cutting out junk food snacks.

awesome post man.

i've gone through spurts of doing what you did. they last about 4 mo at a time. the next one will have to be an unending spurt.

Don't get me wrong... I mean crummy foods will affect your mood at any age... but as a Child the body needs to grow, I do not know your age...

But fasting is for a time when you have 3 lbs of undigested meat sitting in your intestines not for when your 19 (although by then a bit i'm sure can't hurt)

There just comes a time I think, after the body stops growing when... it no longer has a genuine use for all that food, you can give and give and create receptor sites on your cells for every vitamin and mineral on earth and you will crave them, desire them...

but all it does is speed up death

If you are young, just listen to your body, don't over do it and program yourself to NEED needlessly as I did, but by all means grow...

If your skinny, you either have a tape worm lol, or your metabolism is still churning away

for me, I had become skinny fat

if that's the case change NOW

by skinny fat I mean, I was thin but it was all around my waist (less attractive than actually being fat if that is your nature)

and it's not about a quest to live forever...

or have some super model body, many of us can never genetically have

it's about, limiting poison, not going beyond what you can naturally eliminate

and knowing when that ability is being compromised

you can eat lol and enjoy

like I said I do a nice big meal once a week...

just give yourself the time to digest and don't make a habit of it

it's the habit that kills you

water

without a debate on how it works

it does

one thing I have not done yet is label and mediate over my water, reality has me working and time is time...

but I believe in this fully

Again really funny you mentioned the labeling thing. When she goes on a trip or has something important to do, she puts her prayers/intentions in bottles of water and labels them and keeps them with her. Some are for protection, some are for luck.

The crazy part is she just KNEW to do this. She doesn't know how to work a computer to research this stuff.

Thanks for the link I will be reading it all when I get the chance!

Actually yes...

I do have advice

it was the two things I started on, it took awhile but it gave me the calm to do the rest

Dry Sauna

and

Pranayama

lol

Breath and sweat

You hear guys like Tony Robbins talk about breathing and how much it helps and the dry sauna thing, the sweat tent has been used for millenia by natives

and it sounds too simple and good to be true right?

But... when your ADD as hell from life and stress and overloaded with chemicals, even just the stress kind...

you can't exercise right or function or have peace of mind

Dry Sauna eliminates sooooooo much poison, your skin is your largest organ and it's supposed to excrete and we... hate the thought of stinking so we clog it up, cover it in stuff... worse aluminum deodorants

but if you can sit still for 15 minutes at first

you can dump, so much crud from your body you can function again

I also believe that the high temperatures... the temporary fever once you can last long enough

kills the heck out of fungi, bacteria, mold and viruses in your body

that might be wreaking havoc on your nervous system

particularly if your liver is a bit shot or kidneys or both as mine was

elimination from the skin helps them to work better, gives them a rest

and

I believe that the temperatures have a strong affect on elimination of heavy metals, a major problem in the industrialized world, and I think... I believe things like mercury, lead, aluminum all can be freed up when you super heat the body and excreted... particularly Mercury

the next

Pranayama

basic breath based meditation

you can find tons of info on the net... very simple, very relaxing

we all take for granted breathing and...

we can't

I have a particular method I will describe later on in the thread...

it involved both pranayama and Tibetan chanting and I do it in a manner i believe reawakens Mitochondria in your cells...

a bit much for right now... but later on i'll get into it...

If you want in the meanwhile basic Pranayama is every where on the net, just google it


a Big thing is...

people try too much too soon, we all want the perfect body, visable results etc, etc

but when you loose your center, when your focus is gone I don't think you can do anything but the basics...

for me it was

learning to breath again

and sweating... and with the dry sauna you do not need to exert yourself to sweat...

if you don't have access...

just go to bed with a few blankets on and no ac...

seriously, sleep and sweat the poison out

don't try to be an athlete...

acknowledge that your sick and treat it like a flu... sweat it out first

mopusvindictus

How wonderful to hear your experience


I too was diagnosed with diabetes (again) and once again I had to battle with my new doctor to allow me to control my own body with out the need of diabetic medication

( I say once again because 8 years ago I had preformed the same miracle)

Seems the beginning of the menopause
this new change my body is going through
also effect the insulin hormones
(this also happens when a women is pregnant )

this is what started the symptoms back and also I must confess
I was back to eating fast food rubbish again ...

Anyway

The results where that after 4 months of taking control of my exercise and diet again

My blood sugar went down from being dangerously high ....>>>20 .02 .....to....>>>> 4 .7

The doctor was truly amazed and so was my diabetic nurse

They had not seen anyone return their blood sugar back to normal with out the use of medication

Which I thought was very sad as the nurse gets to see many people with diabetes she is supposed to be the expert in controlling this modern day epidemic

By the way I found some good articles on this site on how margarine and the vegetable fats used in processed foods in some cases
can actually create the diabetes 2 problem ...

so that evil margarine stuff is right off the menu

Anyway congratulation mopusvindictus and very well done

Just a note.... be careful with this site... my browser says it's bad.

that's the thing

addiction is a mind game... a terrible one

try this:

Don't think about the number 3



ahead of time I will tell you the result, you will fail, the ACT of remembering not to think about it causes you to think about it...

all addiction therapies are bogus... you don't want to quit anything

you want to gain control... eventually it wont matter as you adapt to less

I DO have a smoke once a week or so... a bit of a nicotine buzz is nice

I DO watch a FEW favorite shows on the net... I just don't keep cable

By NOT forming a pattern... i.e. I watched the whole season of Heroes on the net in one night this year, you break the cycle...

I do sometimes smoke a bowl still

but I NEVER BUY IT and keep it in my house...

elimination from the HOME was key

I didn't want to be some 32 stepper lol, who could never have fun again... I just wanted to heal

I keep NO substances in my home, it's my temple... if I go out once in awhile to a party, where I laugh and dance and sweat and LIVE, it's okay

of course harder things I will never touch due to the sheer destructive nature

a little life never killed anyone... if your laughing and smiling and you keep your temple free your fine

The Addictions you want...the PROGRAMS you want in your daily life are the good ones, diet, exercise etc...

Freeing your Home as an Unbreakable RULE you live by is key

Simple things...

I started by...smoking outside only

only drinking at events...

eventually you become programed differently

If you believe in the word addiction your going to fail, addiction isn't real... Addiction was invented by someone who wanted to profit of of assigning an impossible mental trap to people

Me too, off and on my whole life, the full change came after some horrible things in my life... wouldn't want to get to deep into it all

but yeah, it just hit the time for me... I pushed it to far one way and said, you know what... no more, I love being alive this over indulgence is worthless, none of it is real gratification
