[Jeanine_A]

Hello

I have been doing various levels of cleanses this past year. (high enemas, Rife machine, Ionic foot baths) My motivation has come from a slow malaise that I no longer choose to live with. My symptoms are bloating, irregular bowel movements, lots of stomach rolling and tossing, nausea after eating, fatigue, brain fuzz and stupor. I could throw in hormone imbalance showing up as broad spread low body temperature, skin color losing its luster, dry skin.

Now as I read more about the colon/lymph connection, all the symptoms tie in perfectly with the mucoid build up. I have been told I have had tapeworms(s) since birth, which helps me understand some of my stuff, but also somewhat mystified to remove them wholly. I have found that I have been unable to sustain consistent alkaline eating patterns without feeling like i am starving, or unable to get full even when I do eat, only to feel bloated.

I have gone 3 years without eating much fruit, so this pre cleanse with fruit, and trusting the 'system' Jos-hua has offered us, is a walk into void of fear. I did begin the pre cleanse, and am fine, 3 days into it, I think. That I can think is a good sign!

So good case of candida, parasites, who knows what all. I would like emancipation of the issues, handle the food swings, cravings, and sense of trying hard, to fall backwards again and feel lousy inside and out.

I scored at 25% on the quiz, and my bad habits are the cravings, my lack of focus many times, restlessness, sugar/carb combination, and a desire to eat fat (ghee, almond butter, candy) when out of my comfort zone.

I look forward to healthy support, and to release all the metaphors of parasitical behavior on every level I can muster. Thank you for listening/reading; I am excited to grow. Jeanine

Jeanine,

Hi and welcome to HPS. You have quite a list of issues to work on. This is definitely the place to give you the information and resources to address them as well as support from others who are working on their own lists!!! :)

One point you will hear over and over again is that the health transformation we are all seeking at HPS is achieved through a process of practicing and learning, then learning and practicing. No quick fixes here. Sometimes there are spurts forward and then like other aspects of life we seem to bog down. But the bottom line is that the path is ever forward and ascending if only we will persevere. I have just finished my level 2 formal and believe me, each level is one more step on the ladder of health.

Enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you have entered a well proven path of health rejuvenation. Your dedication to this journey is evident from the efforts you have made previously. Know that many are here to support and encourage you as you begin to use the HPS tools in your quest.

Blessings, joy, and energy on your HPS journey to health.

Ron

Welcome Jeanine:
Yes, quite a list to work on. Everything Ron said is good.
You definitely came to the right place to help with your issues.

Follow the program carefully and you should reap wonderful results! :)

Hi Jeanine,

Ditto for me !

I had a lot of the symptoms you descibed two years ago, before HPS, and now thay are all gone. Believe me when I say that you are on the right path. Doctors couldn't give me an answer. Jos-hua did ! This is the start but the real parasite cleansing is in level 2 and level 3. So start you level 1 cleansing with the thought in mind that "This is only the beginning". Life is a journey and real health and vibrancy are too. Just when you feel like things are great, you will realize that they can get even better.

We are all here to support you,
Love & Light,
Elisa_C

Hi Jeanine,

Welcome aboard to the family and support of HPS. We are all on the same path as you - with our own set of health issues, and at varying levels. It's always great to see others come to HPS, as we know they have found the right place to learn, practice, and grow within a supportive environment.

I also came to HPS with some cleansing experience. But, I fealt that it was time to pull all of my experiences together, and focus in one direction that would really give me everything I need. Jos-hua has provided such an incredible path for us to move along at our own pace - and best of all, he walks the walk right along side us :)

Emerse yourself in the forum, recommended readings, and practice. I can promise that you will get out what you put in. Like Elisa, I too had some of the symtoms you have had, plus some of my own. I completely put my colitis behind me with my Level 1, and ALL my prostate issues behind me in Level 2. I've also really done the work I must say - it's been so worth it!

Welcome again Jeanine. It will be great to see you benefit from HPS - we'll be tracking right along with you :)

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Hi Jeanine,

I too want to welcome you to our community of cleansers and rejuvenators.

Everyone here is on the same path towards much better health... this isn't an idea or aspiration, but rather everyone here is experiencing ascending better health in the most tangible manner, a better life.

I'm sure you will too.

Everyone has given you good advise and warm welcomes so I second them. We are one, HPS is a cooperative effort.

Please note, you mention in your pre-cleansing a fruit only stance,,, that is not what HPS teaches nor is that what is in the instructions you received in your setup manual nor in the Netwonder series... so please reread everything there again....

Going into a fruit based diet now would only bring you many discomforts and frustrations. I highly don't recommend that you go that route.

At any rate, the place to discuss all this is in the pre-cleansing forum so I'll be on the look out for your thread and posts there!

We all are here for you with you Jeanine. Relax into HPS guided cleansing like you would relax into your favorite yoga posture. Breath in, breath out and enjoy.

Your yoga is going to get fundementally more productive over the coming months... my intuition tells me 8 months from now you are going to be a completely new person...wait and see, you are going to be amazed (and saddened (if that is the right word, i don't think it is, probably wishful is a better word) that you didn't start doing all this HPS cleansing at the age of 25.

Peace, love and light,

[Ramona_W]

Jeanine,

You've come to the right place!

I also had several of the same symptoms that you described and HPS has definitely turned my life around in the right direction!

I can remember how I used to feel the same hungry, empty, weak, feeling that you described when I would try to eat just a salad for a meal! I thought because I had hypoglycemia I had to have protein with each meal and that fresh fruits and vegetables just weren't enough for me!

I now eat a salad for every lunch occasionally even for dinner as well and am amazed at how full I feel and how blessed with energy! I'm not where I want to be yet but after years of illness I see light at the end of the tunnel! :D

I also faced some doubt and a little fear when I decided to join HPS. I also had cut out fruits for over a year because of the Candida issue. I was worried that by adding fruits back into my diet Candida would come back.

I can honestly say to you that I am a healthier person than I have been in years, possibly since my teens!

It might encourage you to read my introduction for my level 3 cleanse. I just posted it three or four weeks ago. I know it always has encouraged me to read of someone else's victory over areas in which I needed work!

I look forward to seeing the wonderful results you will have with this program!


To the Joy of living,

[Belinda_G]

Welcome Jeanine,

It is wonderful that you have entered the journey here.

Yes, I too can relate to what you are focusing on and all that has been said above is so valuable and onderfully true.

I rejoice that you have found your way here and I look forward to following your journey.

love Belinda

Jeanine, welcome to HPS!! Given the kind of difficulties you're facing I think this is EXACTLY the right route to take. I want to warn you that you may have a rougher route than some other cleansers who join to lose weight, or clear up bad skin, or whatever. With a few cleanses and some improved daily habits you may find incredible results.

A quick side note. I can't speak for all of HPS, but in my experience and given a certain level of understanding of nutrition -- fats like ghee, coconut oil, (good-quality) chocolate, and so on can be healthy, and shouldn't be lumped in as they have in the popular consciousness with sweets and refined starches.

All the best for the road ahead!

Hey Jeanine,

For all the difficulties you've listed, a 25 on the initial quiz isn't a bad score at all. If anything it indicates that while you may have some rough spots getting through some physical issues (or not; why determine for yourself ahead of time that things must necessarily be painful?), you have a decent foundation to build on concerning daily habits. I'll have to go back through the records here but I'm pretty sure I scored a lot lower when I started level 1.

Try not to be afraid. Bear in mind that even if you have some trouble, you have a tremendous support group here to help you pull through anything, and Jos-hua's watchful eye ensuring that you get the right counsel in the event that something unusual happens. The big step now is to trust in the program and follow the instructions to the letter. Big rewards await if you can do that.

Rick
