I have suffered with stomach pain my entire life.
I remember as a child waking up doubled over in stomach pain at least twice weekly. Back then I would try my mother's remedies: prune juice before bed, mineral oil (ugh!), Milk of Magnesia, whatever she could come up with.
Like most people with chronic pain, I learned to live with it and around it. However, my intuition told me this was not natural and there was something out there that could help me. I just had to sort through it all and find it.
After the birth of my second child the pain became so debilitating I could not stand up straight.
A visit to a gastrointerologist ruled out anything that could be medicated or surgically removed (thank goodness!) and he told me to "stay away from foods that hurt your stomach." I knew that doctors did not hold the answers I needed and began researching alternative health care therapies.
13 years and many, many diets, herbals and anything else that sounded like it might help me later, I stumbled upon HPS Online and the HPS GUIDED program. I had just lost my father (who had ulcerative colitis, diabetes and kidney failure.) The emotional stress I had been through as my family and I cared for him in his last year of life had taken a toll on my body. My digestive system had ground to a screeching halt. It's scarey to know food is going in, but nothing is coming out. I was also keenly aware that I never wanted my body to deteriorate like his had.
I had decided to try a juice fast for a few days and see if I could "reboot" my system. I googled "fresh juice for digestive health" and the HPS website popped up. I was impressed by the vast amount of information given, free to anyone to happened to stumble upon the website. I begain taking notes, excited that maybe I had found another therapy to try.
However, as I continued to read I realized this was a program that I could be personally led through, in the comfort of my own home, with a whole community of fellow cleansers supporting me. This DBC program was like nothing I had ever seen before.
I knew that I had not come across HPS by accident.
I read many testimonials and became further convinced that I could commit to this program. I had been convinced for years that what I needed was some deep body care, but could never get up the nerve to get a colonic, or get through a fast for more than a couple of days.
Jos-hua's obvious knowledge, and his personal experience on his own body with deep body care gave me a level of comfort and confidence that made me want to be a part of this community at HPS GUIDED DBC. I wanted to have a positive testimony to share after suffering for 40+ years.
Well, here I am. Two weeks past my first HPS GUIDED 7DW - completely pain-free. Honestly, I experienced relief almost immediately (a couple of days) after beginning to properly combine my meals before ever starting the formal cleanse.
However, the 7DW deep tissue care took me to a whole new level of body awareness, of complete detachment from the very awareness of my stomach. It is hard to put in to words. I was amazed at what poured from my body. I experienced such a feeling of well-being as I have never felt before.
Let me also say that I had never so much as administered a single enema on myself before and I was anxious about the colonics. As it turned out, they were really no big deal. I had so much instruction and tips from fellow cleansers in the forum that by the second one I had it down. The experience is really quite relaxing and pleasant once you get the hang of it. Hard to believe, I know, but true.
And the juice fasting? Because of the HPS protocols I was never hungry. Yes, your mind tells you that you should be eating, chewing, but your body never demands it.
So in a nutshell, here's what I experienced through my first HPS GUIDED, some of which I hoped for, others I had no idea would improve from doing this program:
1) Bowel regularity and complete relief from stomach pain (this has had a hugely positive impact on my quality of life)
2) Improved symptoms from carpal tunnel syndrome
3) Relief from under-arm odor
4) Improved skin color and even-ness
5) Brighter eyes and bags under eyes dramatically reduced
6) My whole family is suffering from spring allergies - I am totally symptom-free.
7) I had my period one week after my formal cleanse, I had zero PMS symptoms. It actually caught me off guard because usually my clues that I'm about to start is that I'll feel emotional and my face will break out a little and I'll have lower back pain. I never even had cramps througout the week.
8) All cravings for fast food are gone (I was a fast food junkie!). Now I crave brown rice, steamed and raw vegetables and fruit.
9) I sleep wonderfully. I wake more easily in the morning, feeling refreshed, not like I need two more hours like I did before and I have sustained energy throughout the day.
10) I have taken control of my body and my health. I can throw out all the other books, diets, theories. This one works. It is simple, practical, works with your body's natural rhythms, AND IT JUST WORKS. It's not a diet or a fad, it is a lifestyle. And the support from the friends you will make here just goes on and on.
If you are suffering, and you have found HPS online, do not suffer one day longer. You really don't have to, friend. We are here to encourage and support you back to vibrant health, back to life!
I hope to see you here soon!
