The first thirty day leg of my healing voyage is over.  And I am safely at dock gathering supplies, mental and material, for the next thirty day trip.  

For the past thirty days, I have done:

- juice fasting - 10-14 cups of juice per day

- IF#1 -- 13 capsules spread throughout the day

- IF#2s with extra activated charcoal 5x/day

- a wide array of tinctures and dewormers

- potassium broth when there's room in my stomach for it

- 3 Hot/Cold Showers per day

- skin brushing daily

- at least 15 minutes of barefooting daily

- 9 cloves of garlic per day in three ACV bombs

- 2 Coffee enemas per day

- one high enema every other day

- 2 liver flushes

- 2 kidney cleanses

- 6 TBS superfood daily

- 4 TBS bee pollen daily

- 4 Cold Sheet treatments

- daily BF&C fomentations and castor oil packs

- sunbathing when available

- constant Bob Marley therapy, no less than 2 hours per day

- some bodywork and reflexology

- complete sexua| abstinence

- ashwaganda root

- wheat germ oil (1 TBS per day)

It's been no walk in the park, let me tell you.  It takes hard work and dedication to heal your body this way.  But is there any other viable way?  Surgery and pills?  Anyone can juice fast.  And I mean anyone.  I'm 5'9" and maybe 100 lbs wet, depending on the quality of the water.  And I have not been hungry or more short of energy than before.  

In all 30 days, there have only been maybe 3 where I didn't pass a distinguishable worm.  They're dropping like flies now and it's really incredible to see.  

I'm feeling better.  Much better than when I began the program.  My body is lighter and feels more limber.  I'm walking a little more each day, while my knees are hurting a little less.  Up until I smashed my hand a few days ago, my hands were feeling better.  I had liver pains at the beginning of the program.  I haven't noticed them for the past two weeks.  My sinuses are clearer and my joints feel less inflamed.  

It took about 3 weeks to really notice these improvements.  

Cravings.  I've gotten them at times.  Mostly for bad foods that I have not eaten for at least ten years.  These are not cravings my body needs, these are cravings for things that my tongue wants to taste.  There have been times I wanted to just quit everything and go get a cheeseburger.  Then wake up and do something else besides 4 enemas.  But you know, each of these moments passed.  And once they passed, I realized that I was also having die-off at the time.  How do I know?  There was a big f-ing worm in the toilet!  Once the die-off passed, and I felt well again, I only wanted to stay the course or do more.  Now I know to not take these moments seriously.  They bubble up, they pop, and disperse, and they don't represent what my true being desires.  

The most significant and worst part has been the die-off.  And when I speak of die-off, I speak of that created by worms of 20 inches or more.  These things, when they die, break apart and release all of their bodily fluids and ecology.  I have distinguished at least 5 different species.  The die-off can create a temporary state of delusion, agitation and anger wherein everyone and everything around me becomes the cause of my problems.  For this, kava root has proven to be the most beneficial.    

Before I started this program, I was experiencing incredible brain fog, especially after eating.  It hasn't happened at all on the juice fast, probably because there is such a load lifted from my liver.  

I think what I like least are the H/C showers.  Perhaps this will change when an adequate water filter is installed.  But more deterring is the fact that I get chilled easily.  To overcome this, I've made them into a symbol of my willingness to get well.  They're not a chore, there something that I can do to prove my willingness to heal.  And that motivates me to do them because, more than having a pleasant warmth on my skin, I want to be better.  

The gods will not do for men what men can do for themselves.  They are in the business of miracles.  

Coffee enemas are my favorite part of the day.  I lay on the floor, my little fan heater blowing across my string-thin body, and I have a cup of coffee the only way I know how to anymore.  If only I could throw a little steamed milk into the mix and have a latte every once in a while.  

Since I'm taking a lot of tinctures, I don't know which ones are helping the most.  But I'm guessing all of them are have a significant effect on my body and the improvements I've noticed so far.  

The IF formulas took some getting used to.  Figuring out how to take them, when, how much, etc.  But most important is that I wanted to take them.  I want them to keep me clean and to help me get through this.  

The cold sheet treatments really aren't that bad.  They're intense, and you have to be willing to be uncomfortable for a couple of hours or more.  I've experienced much worse things in life.  And I like sweating.  

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this program can help anyone, and though it has its challenges, it's easily doable with the right kind of fortitude.  If you want to get better, there is no reason you can't do this program.  Well, you do need support.  That's for sure.  The people you are living with have to understand why and what you're doing and they have to be willing to help you achieve your goals.  

I'm continuing the IP for another 30 days at least.  I'm taking a short break over the weekend -- I'm still juice fasting, CEing and doing parts of the program, but resting on some of the tinctures and the intensity of the regimen.  I might even rent a movie instead of spending the last two hours of my night in the cold shower!  

Many many thanks to Uny and Rocky for their help and guidance through this.  You guys are helping so many people on the forum and it really is a blessing for all of us.  And thanks to all the people that have written me and offered help and tips.  If I didn't respond to anyone, it's due to hand pain and the fact that my wife can't type every little thing I think for me.  But I appreciate everyone's responses and support.  

I'll keep you posted as things progress and I begin IP Part Duex.  How many pounds of worms will I drop this time around?
