This is tough

My first MC was a 3 +/- years ago and it was for 40 days. Before all my MCs etc I have done long periods of healthy eating including one stint of around 8 years doing Macrobiotics. Where I used to live there were several places that would have these lectures on macrobiotics and then there would be dinner after plus there were a coupla restaurant the had macro meals in the vicinity of both  where I lived and worked so it was very accessible to me. Alas I moved to another state and I no longer had the convenience so I started slacking off.

I'm a kidney stone passer and the last 5 years I've had a serious bouts that put me in the hospital for a week I then again another 3 or so years later. That was one of the worst experiences that any human could have where my system went into evacuation mode and I couldn't even drink water cause I would throw it up and I would go into these bouts of nausea that the room would spin and I couldn't even walk, again landing me in the hospital. A year after that I was canoeing and jumped out and bumped my leg on a rock just a little bump but it was enough that I got some serious bacteria in my leg and 2 day later my whole leg swolle up to twice it's size and turned black landing me in the hospital for 12 days where I had to have an operation and skin grafts where they had to cut out a bunch of dead tissue from the infection.

I first went to a clinic rather than the hospital where the doctor prescribed a strong general antibiotic since no biopsy was preformed to identify the specific bacteria they gave me a wide spectrum antibiotic. This not only destroys the bad bacteria but also all the good bacteria. I was on that for 10 days and after that I went to the hospital where they did that surgery and keep my on more antibiotics and I had to keep taking ABs even after I left the hospital. That much antibiotics really destroys your system.

Well all these ordeals withing a 5 year period really took a lot of life out of me and activities that I once enjoyed would totally zonk me out. I decided to do a juice fast and did one for 10 days. That was amazing what that did for my energy  levels and I was back to the activities that I once loved with gusto. Well it still took me another year before I decided to do another 2 week juice fast. While doing that fast I started doing research on the net and ran up on this site. I read up on the MC and I intuitively knew that it was for me and transitioned after 5 days on a juice fast to the MC. I credit that 5 days of juicing as a pre MC cleanse that certainly helped me to have a relatively detox symptom free 40 dayer from the git go. Mind you I have never been a smoker I rarely if ever eaten red meat in the last 20 years. I'm also not a regular coffee drinker. At most when I do drink coffee it would be one cup in the morning only. I have also never been a junk food person or eaten most of the middle of the road garbage from the SAD diet. My biggest culprits in my diet are flour products and sugar. Not being a junk food, chemically laden foods  eater I'm sure also contributed to the lack of major detox symptoms in my MCs.

Outside of the kidney stone thing I have always been a relatively healthy person and quite active physically and I just wasn't having this lethargy and lack of energy that was taking over me. Another bonus after that first 40 dayer was getting rid of this chronic wrist and shoulder pain that I had been having for around 5 years.

 After that 1st 40 dayer it was like pressing the reset button in my life and I was a man possessed with a mission. I ate a pristine diet of mostly raw foods adding flax seed oil for the EFAs (essential fatty acids)doing 2 OZ of fresh squeezed wheat grass everyday and drinking anywhere from 16 to 32 Ozs of  veggie juice (carrots, celery,parley or cilantro, red beet, apple and every now and the a little ginger) and some quality food supplements.

For 6 to 8 months I went to gym religiously. At first I was going at least 5 days a week, then went down to 3 days.

After the first 40 dayer I have done a 28 and a 21 day MC and I am currently on day 22 of the MC and if circumstance and schedule allows I'll prolly go to 40. I just got back from a 2 day camping trip involving some serious physical exertion and I was fine throughout.

I have also done several colon cleanses parasite cleanses, own a zapper and to date have done over 20 liver flushes. It took about 18 LFs to get the all clear no more stones.

Since this last winter I have started a new business and things have been quite stressful so I did a bit of backsliding this winter food and gym wise and I tell you once you have towed that line and your system has operated at high efficiency levels you can tell when things start slowing down and your system is not operating at that peak efficiency. Once you've been there you just will not stand for anything less. It's not just a physical thing but it's all tied to your mental acuity and attitude.
