The Start of it all!

The start of a path from worst, to better health.

Male, over 50, fat, ill, gross. Rashes in bad places, smells that disgust. Pains and general bad health.

That is where I came from, to the vast information here on curezone. I came with 80 pounds I now know I can loose safely, I came with rashes in any part of my body where I sweat, erectile dysfunction, no sex drive, bordome, not wanting to do anything, and sad for lost health.

I am retired from a very active career, in places overseas that most folks neither want to go to, or indeed can go to. I lived on my wits, dealing with things that my superiors determined were necessary for world stability. I was super fit, and very active. A 50" chest, 36" waist, and 42" hips - superb body, envy of them all, and able to make Arnold look bad. Life was great, I loved living, I loved my career, I loved myself. Then I hit 45 - ten years ago. They had never told me that I could not sign on again, for my branch. They never told me that the end of the cold war, made me obsolete
and unwanted, so shortly after my 42nd birthday, I was recalled to base, and told I was to retire - too old. That floored me. From peak fitness operative, to old man, in one sentence.

I returned to my home town, and could not find work - a secrecy requirement made my life restricted information, so the generic resume that I was permitted to write did nothing to convince employers that the hulk in front of them had any ability to help them. I felt pretty bad, until I founded an agency that investigated things the orthodox agencies had cold cased. It brought in the money, and allowed me to employ people more able to do the drudgery required than I was. It is still going strong, and no longer mine. I wallowed in self pity, and my health plummeted.

At the lowest point, I was over 400 pounds, and unable to get myself out of bed by myself. Then a friend told me about the Atkins plan. I shudder to think of it now, but IT WORKED. I lost over 150 pounds and felt new - I started to rebuild my body, and gained the massive strength I was used to. Everything was great, except my colon. Atkins is really great to get a grasp of the problem, but I WILL NOT recommend that it be followed for as long as I did. 2 years of Atkins clogged me up so tight, I dreaded going to the toilet.

I, by nature, am a vegetarian style animal - I don't like meat, but had it on the Atkins to control the massive weight I was afflicted with. As soon as I was down to a working weight, I decided to increase my exercise, and cut out the meat. This also worked for a while - I got tighter muscles, could ride my mountain bike all day, could walk in the desert for hours. Life again was good. But then I went north, to Washington state, and abandoned the dairy, as it still clogged me up sometimes, and embraced Veganism.

For one full year, I happily ate nothing but the vegan food I could buy in the CoOp.
Amy's brand food is really good... But I will not recommend it as the only food you eat. I went from a tight 38" waist to a really tight overflowing 48" during that year. Despair set in, my skin started doing strange things, I hurt, I smelled, and I felt really bad.

So, I reverted to the Atkins diet, but failed - I could no longer do it. I gained more weight, and my body got worse.

Then, when looking for a herbal anti biotic, I chanced upon a link to a Urine Therapy site. Though gross to think about, it actually was better than my body at that time. For two weeks, I read everything I could find, on UT, and with trepidation like you would not believe, I tried it.

I was not grossed out, as I thought I would be, and immediately, the nagging headache I had come to live with, stopped. That convinced me to try the UT thing for at least a week - that is how I do things. I research, I decide, I commit to try the method for a set period of time, so I can use myself in my research.

After the first week, I felt much better, and was no longer interested in the bathroom scale that was such a cause of depression. I continued, increasing my intake until I realized that meat was not something I wanted to eat, nor was cheese, and nor was green veggies.

I looked around the curezone, and found fruitarians...

My weight is reducing, I am ridding myself of parasites, I am to cleanse my liver, I am to flush my kidneys. I am back..
