Started a detox on Monday, here is how I’m doing.

By detox, I don’t mean just any detox. I am using Danny’s Protocol from Dirt Road Discussions; if you’re not familiar, it’s a channel on Telegram that promotes natural health and healing from way-too-common maladies which are routinely ignored by the medical industrial complex- things like parasites and Lyme Disease (caused by parasites). If you’ve made it this far with me, hi- I DO NOT TRUST THE MEDICAL SYSTEM in this country. Most physicians (not all) are paid by big pHARMa to keep the masses sick, and keep them as pharmaceutical customers. Period. I have personally been 100% pharma-free for more than 4 years, choosing herbalism and eastern medicine instead of petrochemical drugs.

(EDITED: Note: I am not a medical professional. Nothing you read in my blog, no matter how logical, should be taken as medical advice. There, I’m legally covered.)

Did you know that as much as 97% of ALL disease can be attributed to parasite infestation, including eczema, diabetes, allergies, and cancers? Carrying parasites is part of the human/animal condition. If you’re breathing, you’re likely also playing host to the wee beasties. And no, this is not something that you can just G00g|e- as Zack Vorhies (the famed whistleblower) reported, G is nothing more than a propaganda machine that suppresses some information while boosting what it can profit off of, for the sole benefit of their bottom line and that of their investors. If you still use that crap machine, stop. You’re not doing yourself any favors. You have to know where to look and what sources are trustworthy. Basically anything promoted by any of the federal three-letter agencies is not going to be credible because they’re all bought and paid for. This is why I use Telegram- it’s totally uncensored. Now back to the buggies and the detox.

A main part of Danny’s Protocol is taking that evil horse paste medicine vilified by the media and the CDC during the plandemic, which they have finally admitted is safe and effective and would have been life-saving for many (if not for the actions of SOME [cough*FAUCI*cough]). You can click the link here to see a list of its common uses.

Anyway, again I am going to try to get back to the detox. During this cleanse process, I fully expect to begin exhibiting some symptoms of the Herxheimer response- a natural reaction to my body’s invaders dying off- which will give the appearance of having an illness. Right now, I am on a liquid fast- nothing but water, black coffee, lemon water, and hydrochloroquin drink for the last 3 days. I could have tea as well and likely will, I just don’t drink it as much as coffee. The HCQ drink is citrus fruits- oranges, grapefruits, and lemons- cut up and simmered in my slow cooker with diet tonic water- diet because you can’t consume processed sugars while doing a parasite cleanse- to make a brew of quinine and pure vitamin C. It’s actually quite delicious, if you like grapefruit.

Soon I will start re-introducing more calories, but still avoiding processed sugars completely. I plan on drinking bone broth to get some protein into my system (the lack of it from the cleanse is why I have no energy right now), and adding some psyllium husk for fiber. I can have fermented foods, which are excellent for supporting a healthy gut biome, and I am very much looking forward to chewing on some delicious sourdough bread over the weekend. I will mainly be focusing on a carnivore or paleo-type diet, taking in nothing processed and getting most of my nutrition from meat, fruit, and some veggies. If I had an organic dairy close I would add raw milk and cheese, but the closest one is more than an hour away.

My end game here is an overall health reset, which will include the expectation of some weight loss. I don’t know whether I have mentioned this previously, but I have been struggling with my weight for a number of years. I was up to my peak of 208 in the summer of 2020 and went Keto that October. I maintained that lifestyle for a year and a half, during which time I lost 65 pounds and was the healthiest I had been in more than 15 years. Then in January of 2022, whoopsie-doodle, I got knocked up. All my hard work and willpower went right out the window when I was pregnant with B, and now I’m back up at almost 190. See below:

I haven’t allowed anyone to take a full-body pic of me in a long time, because of my weight gain, but it’s obvious enough just in the fullness of my face. Nothing like the one on the left though- OOF-da. The one in the middle is from my birthday, August of 2021, right around 145lbs. Ideally, I’d like to get down to 10 pounds less than that. 135 has been my goal weight for many years- since before I had my first son. At 5’2″, I think 135 is a completely reasonable goal for my mom body- I will never again be the 115lb waif I was when Kevin and I met, and I fully acknowledge and accept that. Now before anyone tries to reprimand me for being body-negative, you should know this about me- I am a realist, and I do not buy the body-pos movement, not for the briefest shadow of a moment. Being overweight IS unhealthy, full-stop. I am a victim of my own poor choices, and I own them. It’s my fault that I’ve gotten so heavy, and nothing but my own hard work and discipline will take off all this unnecessary weight. It doesn’t look good, it doesn’t feel good, and it’s not going to yield any positive results for the future. Rant over.

As of Thursday afternoon, 7/25, I am still on my liquid fast. It’s been 91 hours(not that I’m counting) and while I’m dying to eat something, it’s not actually because I’m hungry. It’s a very weird thing about this liquid fast- I don’t get terribly hungry. I don’t feel like I’m starving. I do have to pee a lot, of course, and I just want to chew on something. I haven’t weighed myself since I started on Monday, and I was 187lbs. While I’m not really upset about that number because I’ve had a solid month or so of a diet of garbage (including fast food and soda, which I had previously sworn off), and I only gained 3 pounds. What I am upset about is that I am now separated in weight by 30 only pounds from my 6’4″ husband. This fuckin’ guy. He has never made even a suggestion of an effort at weight loss or getting healthy in the 20 years we’ve been together. On his last birthday, number 39 back in March, he said “I think I’m going to set a goal for myself. I would like to lose 40 pounds by the time I turn 40.” This sonofabitch already met his goal. 40 pounds in 4 months. And all he’s been doing is eating smaller portions and making sure he’s getting in 10k steps a day, or close to it. He still eats whatever he wants, eats dinner at 9-10pm and then sleeps right on top of it… What kind of ridiculous freak of nature did I marry? I haven’t eaten in 4 days- this is the kind of stuff I HAVE to do just to lose like 3 pounds, and here’s my husband “I think I’ll take a walk” and suddenly he’s under 220, smaller than he’s been since he was probably a freshman in high school. Unbelievable. Rant #2 over.

The other benefit I hope to gain from this detox is a reduction in my skin issues. As a nearly 40 year-old woman, I feel that I should not still be struggling with acne. I have worse skin now than I ever did as a teenager. I also have patches of eczema on my neck and back, and an autoimmune condition called anuloma granulare on my feet and dispersed in what are called ‘plaques’ over my legs and ankles. This is a condition that typically flares up and then leaves, usually within 2-3 years. I have had it since I was 4 years old- that’s 35 years of looking at this mess and hiding my skin. I haven’t seen anyone share anecdotes about a parasite detox getting rid of it, but I’m going to do my best and will report back if I see marked improvement.

I think this is a good place to cut this one off for now. I still owe a garden update and pictures of my peg board. Coming soon, I hope.

Blessings for now,
