New Year 2006 Poll: How many of your health problems/issues disappeared?

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Greetings HPS Cleansing friends,

This poll opens on Christmas eve, 12/24/2005 and I am closing it after the New Year.

================================

Greetings friends,

Now that the New Year has passed we can summarize the results of the above poll. The above results are quite exciting.

Over 50% of the people who participated in it, eliminated 4 or more health issues.
If we count two or more health issues, the number jumps to 92%.

And most exciting, over 21% who polled eliminated over nine issues.

That's quite impressive friends... thanks for your inputs below and for participating in this poll.

I hope to see you at next year New Year poll.

Peace,

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Greetings friends,

I voted nine or more... I had many minor issues and a few major ones that totally disappeared from my life. Very rewarding indeed.

Here is a short summary.

When I decided to do my first cleanse, my level 1 cleanse, I had a few issues/problems that if they disappeared I would be happy.. very happy indeed.

Of course a lot happened... and a lot more health issues totally disappeared in subsequent cleanses, in advanced cleansing, but already right out the gate a few major health problems and issues that were annoyances in my life disappeared immediately.

1) Body flexibility. I couldn't touch my toes when standing straight. I thought that needed to be changed. The cleansing did that.

2) Neck pain. I couldn't turn my head up swiftly and look at something up in the sky, or on a tree, there was too much pain in my neck, primarily on the right side. That disappeared.

3) Herpes attacks diminished immediately in both intensity, frequency and duration. In subsequent cleanses it disappeared for ever. Never to return.

4) Bad breath. For three straight years prior to cleansing a bad stench developed in my mouth. I tried everything, different methods of brushing, flossing, different brands of toothpaste, mouthwash, frequent dental visits/cleaning, you name it I tried it... after my first cleanse that problem, which was a big problem in my life, disappeared for ever.

5) Skin rashes. Skin problems disappear almost immediately with this type of cleansing. I had psorosis on my elbows for years (some people get it on the knees as well) which totally disappeared (and has never come back now 15 years! It use to be obnocious, thick pink or white patches on the elbows and knees). In addition as a teenager who lived by the water, I developed like most beach going people do a skin rash/fungus on my upper forearms...patches of discolored skin. It would go away and then come back... and each year after winter, when in the sun it would come back. Tried for years everything- doctor visits, creams, pills and medications, nothing brought any sustainable cure. After my second cleanse gone for life. Now when I go back to the beach or suntan, no patches anywhere. Thirdly, I use to get a rash on my face after shaving if I didn't shave for two or three days... kind of dark patches... SO in all we see three different kind of skin problems, each generated by a different kind of source, all disappearing, naturally within days never to come back and haunt my life again.

6) Dandruff. While you might not think dandruff is a big health issue, it is in fact sympiotic of an acidic body, and therefore it is telling us that bigger health issues are on the horizon... For 15 years prior to cleansing this HPS way, I spent tens of hours every year shopping for shampoo's. I tried over the years all the different brands, and a few times too... after my first HPS cleansing no more dandruff, and now 16 years still no more dandruff. While you might think dandruff is not a big deal, just imagine, every date, every meeting, everyday a few times a day, attention, energy and emotional strain is generated to check if your shoulders aren't snowed in... it's a miserable thing, everyday to take care of... anyway, it became history quickly.

7) Deodorant. Here too years of trying different brands... I was always, daily frustrated by the stains on the armpits of my shirts. Not only was it an annoyance when wearing a shirt, but it needed special attention when washing... I became aware that this is ridiculous, to spend a lifetime around this problem of body smell, b/o, deodorant. Since my first cleansing I haven't used any deodorant, and will never again for the remainder of my life. No need.

8) Weight was starting to become an issue in my mid thirties. In my twenties I could eat as much as I liked, whatever I liked, whenever I liked and I never gain any weight. But once I crossed the threshold of 30, it started to become a problem. I had no discipline nor desire to diet, to study diets, to follow diets, to be "dieting" for a lifetime. THis was an issue and I recognized that it was like the dandruff, deodorant, foot odor, going to be issues / annoyances for a lifetime. I wasn't aware of that what goes on outside of my body, is just a reflection of what is going on internally. I didn't know about alternative health care, cleansing, fasting, etc... so, like everyone else around me, I just wanted quick fixes for the symptoms. Once I started this HPS cleansing I understood quickly how ignorant I was. Dans book did that for me.

9) Health insurance. I had no health insurance and I started worrying about that all the time. Who was going to take care of me? After my first cleanse this problem became history. It was evident that I was going to take care of myself. I now had all the tools... and i never did follow up on the health insurance. :D

Subsequent advanced cleansing brought heaps more up, and heaps more out... issues that disappeared in advanced cleansing included boils, wet balmy hands, emotional issues, dead foot tissue rejuvenated (a part of my right foot was nerve dead 90%, it totally rejuvenated after 6 years of deadness!), teeth sensitivities (especially gum bleeding and teeth sensitivities), sweating when exercising (my shirt used to be totally wet, now years later when doing any aerobic workout it just a bit wet around the neck or under the arms... but not the whole shirt like before!!!), sore muscles after exercising (never experience that anymore), etc.. Maybe I'll save them for a 2007 poll as by then we'll have lots more master fasters and advanced cleansers with heaps more to say too.

I'm so happy I cleanse the HPS way, I couldn't imagine a life without it. :cool:

Peace,

[Louise_L]

This was a difficult question to answer, mainly because so much stuff has faded into the background. At first, all of could think of was fibromyalgia. I had to actually make a list. Once I started, it was easy --
high blood pressure,
food sensitivities,
colds,
aches and pains,
poor distance vision,
sinusitis,
indigestion,
diarrhea -- and I could go on.

Clients come to me with all sorts of ailments. Often it is something I had and I have to go to my book shelf to remember what I used to do for it.

The best problem to be rid of is fear. Now I know what I need to do to stay healthy, and I know I will not become a victim of the mainstream medical cartel.

Louise_L

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

This was a difficult question to answer, mainly because so much stuff has faded into the background.

Louise_L

Yep, you hit it on the nail Louise... so much stuff happens here in this HPS cleansing, on so many different dimensions, spread out over so many different weeks, months and seasons that it is easy to forget how dramatically, fundamentally and phenomenally our health has turned...

We all, including myself, seem to note the "one" big thing (that outlook, that view, is a result of being systematically involved in sick care, in fear care, rather than wholistic health care, rather than in self-help, but when we take a closer look, and become a bit more wholistic with our body and minds, hey, we see many many things, many of them all either transformed or in the state of being transformed.

It's very rare for someone to find only one or two things... very rare indeed.

So, I thought this poll could benefit everyone... Both HPS cleansers as a kind of 'reality' check, a chance to step back and note it all down, and rejoice in that, and for viewers, prospects, the general public who are trying to decide if this type of cleansing is for them.

Louise, thanks for your participation here, thanks for your comments, thanks for being here, thanks for just being you. It makes the world a better place. have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. It's yours for the making.

Peace sister,

[Martin_J]

Hi Jos-hua,

First of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It is Christmas eve here and everyone is down for the night. I have been getting my testimonial ready for over a week and funny how I was going to enumerate once again how I have benefitted from cleansing. I could have given up after one cleanse and faded out of touch, but many advanced cleansers chimed in on my threads and advised to keep at it, saying that there is so much more in store if you stick to it. Now I can offer the same advice. Keep at it and it will happen. Nothing could be more important.

Usual headaches are gone. Prior to HPS I would get headaches in the morning and would take aspirin and coffee to get me ready for the day. This no longer happened after level 1 and especially after level 2.

Indigestion never happens. I never get stomach upset, even if I eat the wrong foods in those social situations where it is in abundance.

Allergies are gone. I used to have sneezing fits in the spring and fall when the air was full of pollen, molds, and weed dust. I would cut the grass or pull weeds and start sneezing uncontrolled. That would prompt a run to the drug store for antihistamine. This was an early benefit as well. (see my level 2 test.)

Constipation is gone. This was THE big one that brought me to HPS. I have to say it took me all of five cleanses to have sustainable improvement here. For those reading this who would think this is unusual or why not just take laxatives, well I learned a lot about the underlying causes of any physical symptoms. This is still a process in work for me and I am loving the learning to this point. What Louise says above is so true about letting go of fear.

Weight is not a problem. Weight was never a concern for me, but I did lose a lot of it. Coming into HPS I weighed 220. Now I go between 180 and 185. It is great to be lighter. Last year everyone thought I was too thin and didn't look good. Right now, I think I am over the rocky mountain and am enjoying healthier looks and body tone. I definitely look younger than my 44 years.

Hair color is back. You know lately I have been wondering if cleansing hasn't brought color back to my hair. I was starting to gray more and more before hps, but now I don't notice it as much. Not like I am Ronald Reagan with jet black hair at 72 and swearing that I don't use hair dye, but I'll have to keep track of this.

Body flexibility is restored. Yep, Jos-hua, I am with you here. I hear you loud and clear. I have mentioned this often in my intro's and reviews. It is one of the most wonderful things that has happened to me. I don't think that simply doing the stretches, the warmups, and the chi gung is enough. The cleansing is the foundation to allow everything else to work. I used to always get a back out of joint if I lifted something the wrong way. That is simply gone now from my life. I live this every day and I thank you and the hps program for it every time I enjoy this benefit.

The usual colds, sore throats, runny noses don't occur anymore. I was always good for the onset of a cold any given time out of the year. Wow, is that big. I remember having the raw throat pain come on and knowing that I was in for two weeks of fighting off nasal congestion, phlegm, and coughing. I would wear a dust mask to act as a humidifier and keep irritants out of my breathing during these illnesses. I haven't had to do that since beginning hps. Thanks to a healthier immune system.

Fatigue is not a problem. With less weight to move around, and a much cleaner body to dwell in, I am usually the last to go to bed and the first to get up in the morning.

I think that gets me up to nine and I might have more to add if I sat here much longer to dwell on it. But as Louise says, these things fade away and you move on, almost forgetting that you suffered like that in the past. There are new horizons ahead and I am looking forward to future cleanses and to where it will lead.

Much regards,

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Thanks for voting Marty... the I would wear a dust mask to act as a humidifier and keep irritants out of my breathing... is quite freightening in my books, quite a scary life... to have to wear a dusk mask for a lifetime... oh, now that is what i call suffering.

You are so right, we human beings very quickly tend to forget our suffering, once we are not suffering anymore... and I like you have found that HPS cleansing leads to less suffering and more happiness.

Thanks for being here Marty, thanks for trusting, thanks for practicing, thanks for helping other people survive in their cleansing and renewal journey.

May this Christmas and New years be a very merry one indeed for you, family, friends and all sentient beings.

Peace,

[Janaka_P]

I’ve noticed four things in particular:

My eczema is virtually gone.

I’ve eliminated Neurontin from my system.

The peripheral neuropathy is not as bad.

My mind is more clear - Neurontin removal no doubt.:)

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Merry Christmas Janaka.

Four wonderful things have disappeared from your life, four big health issues... wow, each one is bigger than the previous one and I guess each one was a big part of your life in the past... i.e., they were almost daily, if not daily, on your agenda in one form or another.

So, this is great to read here, I rejoice.

Thanks for being an inspiration to us all, and especially newer cleansers. May this year of yours be filled with personal growth and even better health.

I shall be leaving in a few days for India... and of course will be thinking of you while there. I guess especially when there are festivals/ceremony times.

Be well brother, wishing you all the best! Have a happy New year.

[Stephen_C]

Well, to be straightforward and factual when I first came onto the cleansing path I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, other than to dump some weight and try to keep it at a consistent level. I’m still having trouble staying where I want to be weight wise, but some of the other things that were bothering me have slipped completely under the bridge.. One of those being a lot of stress due to my work. After 5 cleanses the stress level has virtually disappeared. Along with that the high anxiety level I used to experience has slid out the bay too. Living in the past is just that, the past, and the future is always something to look forward to, but the present is definitely were it’s at....

A couple of plus’s that I wasn’t aware of was the amazing amount of flukes and parasites that I have dumped and continue to cleanse out of my system.. along with that the stiffness and arthritic joints that I had due to my work as a roofer have also become part of the past.. Emotional issues due to past conflicts have been resolved.

Although at times I long for the sunshine, I am fairly content with my surroundings and I attribute this to the well laid out program that Jos-hua has put forth for us to follow.

I’m looking forward to more changes in my life, particularly along the work line and by this time next year may find myself in a new trade, but still cleansing the HPS way....

May we all find Peace in this coming New Year...

Stephen_C

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

this time next year may find myself in a new trade, but still cleansing the HPS way....

Has a nice ring to it :D

Thanks for voting and being here with us, for us. Wishing you all the best in the New Year coming. Peace.

[Dawn_S]

What a great post to come back to after the holidays! A beautiful reminder of all that cleansing at HPS has provided me -- and in such a short period of time.

Here are the things that I said good bye to with my Level 1 cleanse.

1. Chronic candida
2. Genital warts
3. Athlete's foot
4. Low energy
5. Inflexibility
6. Unwanted weight and cellulite

I have also seen much progress in my general attitude (more stable moods, less anger and sadness), less colds/flu during the winter, and less constipation (although these do still arise, just with much less frequency than before L1 cleanse).

Much gratitude and love to Jos-hua and the amazing folks in our HPS community. Happy New Year, all!

[Alan_A]

Allergies: though they still occur, the sneezing, running nose, itchy eyes etc. the severity and frequency of the attacks have lessend tremendously. plus if an attack does occur i can look back at the previous few days examining my diet and pretty much figure out why my body has decided to unload toxins this way....a developing skill that i didn't even know existed prior to cleansing here.

Lethargy/fatigue: while sustaining the dietary and energetic practices learned with HPS, plus getting at least decent rest, i've come to have a consistently higher energy level on a daily basis. this problem was due in large part to poor circulation of energy and blood which have improved dramatically giving my appearance more vibrancy and leaving behind the grey complexion my chinese doctor first saw me with.

so many great deeply ingrained habits have started and sustained themselves due to HPS inspired practice and participation in the online community. i know confidently i'll be seeing more and more healthy things happening in the future along the lines of improved body flexibility, mental functioning, and emotional balance, plus heightend awareness of being, better quality of life, spiritual explorations and the great many more unseen.

[Anna_P]

Happy 2006 to all!

This was a real thought provoker!! And I was stingy with my numbers.

No more prescriptions. I had 9 when I started the program.

Migraines are rare these days. They used to control my life - got them every few days.

The biggest thing HPS has done for me is to open up my mind a little bit. I have come to see how set in my ways, set in my beliefs, set in negativity and hopelessness I was - all this growing stronger over the years of my life. I believe I have set the course in recognizing this and in just recognizing it I am finding ways of walking down a new path, full of possibilities.

For this I am grateful.

Cheers!
Anna P

[Norm_S]

I have dealt with life long allergies and constant winter colds.
This year after my third cleanse in August,
I have had no major allergy attacks and no cold or flu so far this winter.
What a relief.

My partner who has generally been healthier them myself has had two bad colds so far.
I continue to mention cleansing to her. She just doesn’t feel ready.
Oh well, still encouraging her to make the time.

Best to everyone in 2006

[Sumina_B]

It was hard for me to pick an exact number since most of the changes I have seen have been mental and emotional. I settled on two for now.

The changes I have noticed are:
-more comfortable with setting boundries for myself. Not worrying if it makes others upset.
-being more mindful about what stresses me out. Before I would get stressed and continue to engage with the same people/thinking. Now I am more aware of those things and either limit my time with them, or prepare mentally beforehand.
-just overall awareness of why certain things are happening, and not judging myself for them (At least a lot less of the time!).

It is interesting to note these observations, because since I began cleansing about 2 1/2 years ago, to an outsider observer, I have gotten 'worse' (i.e. weight gain, less energy etc), but I know why those circumstances have come around, however, mentally and emotionally, I feel more at peace and ease with myself.

Sumina

[Tina_A]

Many suble benefits of course, the major changes

-complete healing of an undiagnosed pain in my lower right abdomen which I had for 12+ years! Thanks to HPS cleansing, this is completely gone!!

-DRASTIC improvement in headache frequency and severity!! Prior to HPS I would have several awful headaches a week. I rarely get headaches now and if I do I always know exactly why.

-Skin improvement-better complexion

Better energy, better self-knowledge, more compassion, on and on. The HPS experience has opened doors I never even knew I wanted to go through.

[Gary_S]

1) Chronic fatigue—vanquished My energy was so low that I needed one or two naps every day. I couldn't do more than basic living. My future was bleak. The Level 1 cleanse restored me to full energy—amazing and wonderful!

2) Acne I was on a low-fat diet for decades to keep my face and back acne under control. Now I can eat a handful of nuts or a couple peanut butter sandwiches with hardly any acne problem.

3) Muscle ache Bending over used to be painful, but no more!

4) Morning blahs I always felt lousy when I would get out of bed, as if I hadn't slept enough. Now I feel fine in the morning.

[Adrian_S]

Well, after my level 1 cleanse I generally noticed two changes:


Feeling more energetic. This isn't a very big improvement - probably subsequent changes will change that - but I can certainly feel it.

Stuck nostril. My right nostril used to be stuck a lot of times for no apparent reason (I get colds very rarely, but the nostril was stuck daily). This still happens, but more rarely, and not as severe.

[Peter_W]

Whilst I've only completed Level one about 9 months ago I can confidently own several big changes that have occured.

1. My level of energy and endurance has changed dramatically. The quality of my energy is much much lighter, and twice as useful.

2. Little or no bouts of depression. This is a huge shift and effects every aspect of my life.

Thanks Jos-hua,

Peter

[Belinda_G]

I Listed the following:-

1. Addiction to tea, coffee and other addictive props, gone. Yes the 'morning blahs' gone! (I love that expression Gary)

2. Unrecognizable improvement in energy - both quality and amounts of...

3. No joint pain.

4. Increased flexibility and physical body awareness

5. Evening out of menstral cycle. Months of no PMT. Still some work to do here but potent to note in level 3 pre cleanse I had a 27 day cycle and no PMT.

6. Bloating down to almost zero - candida work to do where this is concerned.

7. BM's daily. Healthy consistency. Still some work to get up to 2 or more daily, although lev 3 a big break through on that for maybe 2 months post...

8. Moods much more even and less or no time in a darker space

9. Anxiety down. Fear around driving and hights gone. Generally much les anxiety

[Tracy_M]

Here is my list:

1. Allergies have disappeared such as hayfever and hives.

2. Colds and flus have become a thing of the past.

3. Snoring has disappeared.

4. Foul body odor has disappeared.

5. Eye sight has improved.

6. Gray hairs have disappeared.

7. Lost a total of 40lbs.

8. Changed eating habits for the better.

9. Lowered blood pressure.

10. Lowered bad cholesterol levels.

11. Lower triglycerides.

Malama pono ia kakou,

[Tsang_Y]

It took me a while to think of what health problems are gone, as prevailing good health makes it hard to remember I had any problems at all! The improvements I see are at two levels - physical and emotional, and to me the emotional healing is much more significant.

Physical improvements:

body odour– used to need mint or deodorants/ perfume to disguise the smells. Now no need.

facial breakouts– very severe in my early to mid 30s that left their. Now I get one or two zits when I have very “heaty” food. When I get them now, they usually heal in two days, unlike the boils that lasts for weeks before.

painful fissure on finger – it usually happens when it becomes cold and dry or when I’m stressed, but it hasn’t revisited me this winter.

less hair loss – used to have tufts of hair fallen out in showers, now I don’t see them anymore.

eyesight changed – shortsightedness improved, astigmatism shifted, but sadly, I’m more blurred seeing close up things.

immunity – much improved. People may be falling sick around me but I am either unaffected or tend to get well much quicker. Haven’t a day of sickie last year, except when I was cleansing and was too weak to go to work.

Emotional benefits
less irritable
more positive attitude
more forgiving
more centred

For these I'm grateful.

Tsang

[Rhonda_M]

Most notably I don't suffer from IBS, colds, or backaches. Before HPS, the IBS was getting worse almost to the point of being debilitating. I had lots of pressure to take medicines, and it was very stressful which made the condition worse.

Now I can keep up with my husband and live again.

Rhonda

[Richard_D]

I knew immediately that I'd come up with more than 9 as soon as I began counting, so I just punched '9 or more' and figured I'd just start my list and see what I came up with. I think I have 9 just from agreeing with what others have written so far.

1. Acid indigestion gone -- I used to live off antacids. For years I ran through probably a roll or more a day, eating them like candy. Then I moved up to the bigger stuff, the 12-hour pills. Must have been taking them for a year or more before I quit. I can still get indigestion sometimes, but only as the result of extremely poor food combining, with some chili peppers thrown in.

2. Chronic allergies/colds gone -- I would almost like to go to a doctor to see how I fared on an allergy test today. When I was a teenager I had a bunch of irritants injected into my skin to see what inhalants I was allergic to. I came up allergic to just about every kind of pollen, and airborne mold. I don't know how that might have changed by now, but I don't get seasonal colds, or other types of things for the most part, even though I work teaching small children and am daily exposed to all kinds of things I don't want to imagine.

3. Smoking -- Quitting smoking was, after all, the first thing I wanted to address in my level 1. That certainly worked.

4. No more constipation -- Not that I realized I had any before fasting. I thought my 1 bm every 2 to 3 days was the result of a low metabolism. I could probably put a certain amount of ignorance on my list here, but I bet I can hit 9 with just physical symptoms.

5. Acne greatly diminished -- I used to have a minimum of 5 or 6 big zits on my back and shoulders at all times. I still have an occasional one, but nothing like before. Facial acne hasn't been an issue for me in adulthood, but even the occasional zit is rarer than before fasting with HPS.

6. Body odor -- But who doesn't smell better after quitting smoking a pack or two per day? But my problems went much deeper than that. During my years as a smoker, my sense of smell was largely ineffective, but I knew I wasn't smelling too good for all kinds of reasons.

7. Chronic ear infections gone -- I used to have to use a lot of hydrogen peroxide in my ears, because I'd have this skin irritation and scabbing flare up out of control if I stopped, and often nothing I did would help much. I think the solution lay in some dental work I had done, but I did that work as part of a checklist of things I made for my HPS cleanses, and I have no doubt that fasting did a lot to alleviate that condition directly too.

8. Energy/endurance is up -- I still don't exercise, but on days when I have to do a lot of walking or be on my feet a lot, I find that I have almost unlimited energy. I don't have to stop and take breaks, sit down, etc.

9. Nasal passages clear -- In general I am breathing much easier than before. This goes beyond the allergy problem I listed above in that all my passages are much clearer all the time. It's interesting that now when I do have an allergic reaction to something I can tell by the way my nasal passages contract almost immediately. I used to be stopped up all the time.

10. Hemorrhoids gone -- I'd forgotten I ever had this problem, which was with me from the age of 17. No recurrence since level 1. Also I used to get awful stabbing pains through my gut occasionally--no idea what that was, but given the history of Crohn's disease in my family, I'm glad to have it over with.

11. No more headaches -- Ever. I used to get 2 or 3 massive headaches every year, and some minor ones that I thought had to do with eyestrain at the time. I know better now. I haven't had a single headache (aside from ones I earned by drinking too much) since starting HPS level 1. I don't even keep any kinds of pain relievers in the house any more. If I had a medicine cabinet, it would be empty.

That's an interesting thought: how much stuff did I used to have in the medicine cabinet? I used to keep antacids, two or more types of pain relievers, cough medicine, and I was starting to keep cold/flu stuff in the house at all times.

I'm sure there are more things I could come up with. Thanks Jos-hua for asking this question.

[Layne_W]

This is my response to the cleansing polls. I am a master faster, and I have been practicing many of the things learned on HPS for about 8 years. Many of my health problems have disappeared. I still have many to work on. The problems that have disappeared are:

Dental carries: I used to have problems with my teeth. The dentist says you should get a checkup every year. I have been to the dentist for 3 years, and I had no new cavities. Teeth are more firm and more enduring. One thing you do need to pay attention to is your calcium intake. Even with all this cleansing, the body still needs proper nutrition.

Acne and skin problems clearing up: For Years I had eczema and other skin problems. This is finally disappearing and skin is more elastic and flexible. Acne is non-existent.

Immunity against Colds and Flu: While most people take to their beds for 10 days with the gambu, mine will usually be a sore throat that comes and goes after about 2 days. My immune system fights off these bugs with much more efficiency. I can still get infected by someone who has a cold, but they don’t last very long. I used to get tonsil inflammation. No more.

Bad Breath: I used to have to pop breath mints constantly. Don’t have much need for them anymore.

Prescriptions Medications: I haven’t taken any formal prescription drugs in over 6 years. I haven’t had a need for them. Herbal supplements, yes as needed.

Bad Diet habits changed: I found that good diet results in good hygiene Though I still crave some bad food occasionally, for the most part I avoid them.

Spiritual and body awareness: This has been magnified 10 fold. My “id” used to control my appetite for food. Now, I am in control of this and eating is not the first priority. I feel a much great connection spiritually. I do have to warn that I am working on many mental health issues right now, and that is normal for this phase of cleansing. I had many to begin with. The body “knows” when it needs to cleanse again. I cannot emphasize enough, we need to take charge of our own health, not the doctors.

[Judy_I]

Hello everyone!

Well, when I did my level 1 cleanse I didn't really have any health issues that were major but I did notice an increase level of energy after all my colonics. It's funny because the "high" lasted for about an hour (which gave me enough time to clean up), then my head seemed clearer and the best part my back was loosened (minor backache was no longer present which is quite a bonus)!
Throughout the 7 days I learned a lot about my body due to the clear head I suppose. It was enlightening. I also learned to eat more alkaline which helped my energy level. I never really related to food in that way before but I enjoyed it throughout the cleanse.
Let's see...I think I'm looking at 5 health related health issues altogether but they didn't just disappear. They were improved significantly during and after the cleanse.

Now I just need to get back into the habit!

Love,


Judy_I

[Yvonne_B]

I have to say that the two biggest health problems that I had was constipation and skin rash. Both have improved immensely, thanks to HPS Cleanse. I am very satisfied with the results.

[Tyrone_S.]

My Level I addressed

poor digestion

acid reflux

&

stress.

It's been a year from my level 1 and I am doing the prep for Level 3 right now.

I have not taken any medication for headaches or colds for the past year and can tell my immunity is vastly improved

I also have dropped deoderant

I find that I have been drinking much more water and much less soda and beer.

With level 3 and 4 on tap this year I hope to see continued progress.

Hi All-

I voted 4, but there may be more I'm not thinking of right now.

1. Skin rash on my hands. This stuff was full of puss and would bleed at times. It was very itchy and burned. This is cleared up when I'm on the straight and narrow. If not, it comes back but not with the vengeance it used to appear with. It's not full of puss anymore. It's just itchy bumps. But even that is controllable. I know why I get it and how to keep it at bay.

2. Before Level 1, my vision would get blurry at night. This doesn't happen anymore.

3. Morning bladder pain (symptom of Interstitial Cystitis). This hardly ever is an issue anymore. Once in a while when I eat something my body and bladder don't like, my bladder lets me know.

4. Fatigue. This is gone.

There is of course the emotional issues, which I'm working on. I'm certainly able to be with those feelings and be aware of them, much easier than before cleansing.

Good question. This gave me a chance to really look at and see how I've benefitted from this. Thanks.

Peace,
Laura

Well I put 4 but it is only L1 and I would have been thrilled if just one occurred.

That was my energy gain ... wow!
That is what drove me to search for a solution and I ended up here.
It was a dynamic turn around.

I am seldom light headed any more where almost everyday all day I was fighting that problem.

The juicing during pre (especially fresh pineapple, watermelon and grapefruit) will immediately cause the swelling from to much sitting to go away. For me I know it is specifically the juice because if I do not juice it comes back.
So I juice everyday now.

A sidelight that I hoped would be helped but really did not expect to get corrected so soon was my blood pressure.

L2 is on the horizon .. it will be fun to see what thing disappears next :)

Love and light,
Linda

Hi,

It is hard to name all of them But two main ones.

My bloating digestive pain and my energy is better. Smoking is a by product of a cleansed mind also. General thoughts are cleaner too. I have a great sense of gratitude, Joshua' s email from India really struck home.

I feel very happy and blessed daily and have for awhile.

I have been away for awhile but have my sights on cleansing daily. I just got my computer up and cleansed and anticpate doing my level three in May and really looking forward to it.

It has been an amazing past year . A lot of great things have come from it.
And I certainly have gotten many tools for a happy body and mind here at HPS .

Love and Light

R
