Re: questions for pepe and anyone else who might have the answer

Sounds like you're on the right path regardless of what you do.

I was pretty active trying to rectify 50+ years of fun living for about 9 months (Colon Cleanses, Parasite Cleanses, Liver Flushes, Iodine Therapy, diet, etc.#.  Was making progress, and then became side tracked.  The only thing that survived was Oil Pulling, and Iodine Therapy.

Now that depression, bad diet, and the likes have reversed everything, I'm taking a crack at it again.  This time doing things that lend themselves to life style changes that are sustainable and not as Draconian.  The MC is the first stage of that, but building up to it (cutting out fatty foods and getting a regimen of fresh fruits, juices, and vegetables).  When I was in my early 20's I had done water fasts for spiritual reasons that lasted 3 or 4 days, but were brutal from a shear will power perspective.  I don't have that level of self discipline these days.

Good luck, and hope everything turns out well for you.  Enjoy the children, they are great at any age.
