So much now depends on supplementing our impoverished and toxic food/water supply in order to thrive. Just like most reasonably informed folk, I try to do the same. However, after a slew of vile infections and diseases while in Scotland, despite following a vegan diet, I came to realise I needed something stronger to kickstart a system that could no longer function as it should. Mononucleosis, chronic anaemia, a five month hookworm infestation, acute bronchitis and an inability to absorb or process protein, vitamins or minerals plus zero probiotics, an immune system wiped out by a monopoly of parasites.
A pretty good metaphor for my life, actually, except it was now a very physical reality. Nothing worked and the little nourishment I was gaining was going to pointless, vicious leeches. The docs scratched their heads, my naturalist pals threw every remedy unknown to mankind at me and I was about to become one of the millions of victims of every marketing strategy, fake doc, health expert on the internet.
This is my daily regimen now. How I got well, not just well again - but better than new, no again. I am just sharing snippets as I know people are busy, overwhelmed with everyone trying to tell them what to do with their lives. This is really for folk who are desperate – seriously sick or spiritually, emotionally on their last breath. I am far from an expert; in fact, I am the antithesis of one. I realise I know nothing – all those years, experiences, the best I can come up with is a reliance on God. You can stop reading now in disgust at my lack of independent thought.
Nonetheless, I know what it is to be desperate so I am putting this out there for those who are who I can’t reach in person.
Sometimes it will be physical: recipes or new habits I have discovered that have an effect. The first food I could absorb after four weeks was the broth of an entire organic chicken, liquid gristle and all, a cup a day. That healed my gut almost immediately! And I was a vegan. Then I started having live yogurt and learning how to make my own. It took ages to be able to eat two tablespoons.
Sometimes it will be emotional/mental – something I’ve read, heard, seen which has nourished, inspired or challenged me at my lowest and when struggling to get better.
Sometimes it is spiritual – as in an event, realisation or meditation which has pulled me closer to God’s way and further from self and this world.
