Joseph R, Age 28, 7DW Level 1, Introduction- Security Officer

[Joseph R]

Greetings,

I have always found it odd that there is a massive don't use drugs campaign in our country while at the same time there is a massive take this drug for every problem approach to health. Every one old and young who I had seen using this approach did not seem better off to me. In most cases, new problems arose in addition to the first.

Being a lover of nature these unnatural ways do not make sense to me. So, I started reading about holistic health about ten years ago. Despite the amount of information I have gone through I still have not been able to truly be healthy. That's why I had been looking for a more guided approach.

I am 28 years old but I feel physically a lot older. I am often tired and sleep a bit more than I should. I have many things I would like to accomplish but usually lack the energy to do them all. I am married and we are expecting a daughter, our first, in two months time which is why I feel urged to really make a change now.

I work full time as a security officer, and part time as a massage therapist and a college student. I'm still not sure what I want to do as you can see.

I have had no serious physical health problems but, have had some mental health issues. I have, in the past, abused drugs and alcohol, eaten a terrible diet of fast and processed food and worked in a career that I hated because the money was good. It is my feeling that these things led to my issues. In fact I now know that I can overcome most anything with the proper care of my mind and body.

Things have improved in many ways but I still feel like I am carrying toxic baggage and this is what is leading to my fatigue and affecting my overall sense of well being.

Presently, I still crave unhealthy food and too often give in, I do not exercise enough, and have a smoking habit I have not shaken yet from the old days. But, that is why I' m here, to get cleaned up, raise my energy levels, feel better overall, and be a better man, husband, father, etc.

I look forward to this experience and thank you for reading.

Sincerely,

Joseph R.

Welcome Joseph,

You have certainly come to the right place for your "issues":
Presently, I still crave unhealthy food and too often give in, I do not exercise enough, and have a smoking habit I have not shaken yet from the old days. But, that is why I' m here, to get cleaned up, raise my energy levels, feel better overall, and be a better man, husband, father, etc. I have been here since January and everything you want to work on has been dealt with by someone during that time from the posts that I've read.

On the smoking issue alone, check out the posts by Valmiki_N from his Level 1 cleanse. Not that your results will be the same as his, since we all have unique issues that have developed in our particular situations.

Your Level 1 cleanse will be a major "kick in the ass" in the direction you have chosen to go. We will all be here to cheer you on and lend our support. That is one of the truly powerful dynamics of this program.

Again, welcome aboard and congratulations on your new daughter who has started her own life journey already.

Ron

Hi Joseph,

Some of your problems are also my problems. I'm sure we'll be able to improve the health even more by sticking to the program. Looking forward to see your progress.

Welcome!

Welcome to HPS, Joseph.

Your beliefs about drugs fit in well with this group and you are undoubtedly right about what is contributing to your current symptoms.

You should do really well with this program!

hi Joseph, greetings and welcome,

Its wonderful that you've decided to do this cleanse, it really is a great program and I think you will be amazed at the changes that take place. Also, whats even better is that you are going to gain so much knowledge that you will be able to pass on to your daughter and future children which in the long run is going to make for a much better, healthier and happier life for them than if you were not doing this. As they say, follow the program to a tee and you will see results.

See you around the forum... and good luck,
Colin

Welcome to our community Joseph... you are going to be feeling a lot younger in the coming weeks and months, a lot.

Most people are like you, they have read, read, read and unfortunately that isn't doesn't bring better health... practicing does. The art of practice is what is happening here at HPS cleansing. When you participate daily in your cleansing and renewal, and in the cleansing and rejuvenation of others, you are setting the causes and conditions for some real transformation.

Just follow the program, stay active here at the community and watch what happens over the coming weeks... i'm sure you'll feel amazed.

Wishing you all the best,

Peace,

Hi Joseph,

Welcome. This is a great place. Sounds like you know a lot. Still you are going to get a ton of information here, but as Jos-hua says "it's the practice, practice, practice that brings the changes." Look forward to seeing your progress.

All the best,
Rhonda

Hi Joseph- (Joe?)

Welcome!

You've come to the right place to deal with your issues. All of them resonate and hit home for me.

I struggled with cigs too and everything else you mention. You will need to make an effort, but cleansing really does set the right conditions in your body to make it happen and turn your habits around.

I've done a lot of reading too and the info can be overwhelming because the body is so toxified that one doesn't know where or how to begin. Well, Jos-hua has taken all that guess work out by laying it out there to follow.

Congratulations on the new beginning of a family. The knowledge learned here will be valuable to all of you. :D

Peace,

Hi Joseph - it is awesome to see your intro and you certainly have made the right choice. I checked out several sites but this one was the best I felt. Well, now years later and many many cleanses later I KNOW this is the most thorough and well thought out. I believe it is because Jos-hua organized, and put into action a plan from the heart!

You will certainly see changes from the first cleanse, follow it to the dot and we will ALL be here for you. What a precious gift you are giving yourself; your body will reward you - and then this gift can be given to your wife and precious daughter. HOw special.

love and God bless,
Maz

Aloha Joseph!

It is great that you are taking control of your health! Believe me, you will feel like a totally different person after the cleanse.

BTW, congrats on the miracle in your life. Isn't it hard to imagine something sooo important in your life suddenly appears one day and every morning you would wake up and see that miracle over and over again? Thus the gift of fatherhood:)

Malama pono,
Tracy

Hi, Joseph.

These all sound like excellent reasons to show yourself greater love and compassion: "that is why I' m here, to get cleaned up, raise my energy levels, feel better overall, and be a better man, husband, father, etc."

I support you fully in those intentions!

And it's wonderful that you are taking such positive steps before your first child is born. A very blessed child indeed!

[Joseph R]

Greetings Everyone,

I'm just writing to thank you all for your support.

All the Best,
Joe
