Help! I can't "Go!"

There's quite a few people encounter, during VLCD especially, the inability to have a bowel movement.  It's not pleasant, to be sure.  We've tried lots of things to correct that problem but also found that there's not a single thing that seems to correct it every time.  So all the things we've come up with, tried, and seen from other people, are all in one place now!

Heel Pain

You know how the Pounds & Inches book reported that heel pain just sort of disappears when following this protocol? I can now testify to that fact. For YEARS, my left heel hurt - an unexplainable "no idea where it came from or how to correct it" heel pain. It's gone now. I started noticing it going away about a week ago, but this morning, it's just no longer there.

From Pounds and Inches regarding this subject:

The Painful Heel

In obese patients who have been trying desperately to keep their

weight down by severe dieting, a curious symptom sometimes occurs.

They complain of an unbearable pain in their heels which they feel only

while standing or walking. As soon as they take the weight off their

heels the pain ceases. These cases are the bane of the

rheumatologists and orthopedic surgeons who have treated them

before they come to us. All the usual investigations are entirely

negative, and there is not the slightest response to anti- rheumatic

medication or physiotherapy. The pain may be so severe that the

patients are obliged to give up their occupation, and they are not

infrequently labeled as a case of

hysteria. When their heels are carefully examined one finds that the

sole is softer than normal and that the heel bone - the calcaneus - can

be distinctly felt, which is not the case in a normal foot.

We interpret the condition as a lack of the hard fatty pad on which the

calcaneus rests and which protects both the bone and the skin of the

sole from pressure. This fat is like a springy cushion which carries the

weight of the body. Standing on a heel in which this fat is missing or

reduced must obviously be very painful. In their efforts to keep their

weight down these patients have consumed this normal structural fat.

Those patients who have a normal or subnormal weight while showing

the typically obese fat deposits are made to eat to capacity, often

much against their will, for one week. They gain weight rapidly but

there is no improvement in the painful heels. They are then started on

the routine HCG treatment. Overweight patients are treated

immediately. In both cases the pain completely disappears in 10-20

days of dieting, usually around the 15th day of treatment, and so far

no case has had a relapse, though we have been able to follow up such

patients for years.

We are particularly interested in these cases, as they furnish further

proof of the contention that HCG + 500 Calories not only removes

abnormal fat but actually permits normal fat to be replaced, in spite of

the deficient food intake. It is certainly not so that the mere loss of

weight reduces the pain, because it frequently disappears before the

weight the patient had prior to the period of forced feeding is reached.

Muscle Testing

So, I said that I was going to give you all tools that I used while doing HCG. And I said that I was going to stop at Thanksgiving.

However.

I have one more for you, that I use nearly every day and a new reader, Julanne from Oregon, reminded me that I hadn't yet shared the tool! Yikes! It's an important one, too. Muscle testing, or kinesiology is the tool and this one allows your body to tell you yes or no to foods, medicines, activities, and other things you want to do to it. It also can tell you how many of something you should be taking and it's easy peasy.

Here's a video showing the yes/no concept and how to do it: Kinesiology

For finding out how many of something you should be taking, simply ask your body (it'll seem strange at first, but just roll with it - it really does work), "How much should I take," while holding the thing in question over your tummy with your left hand.

So, for example, hold your hcg drops in your left hand (I actually end up sort of pressing it to my tummy with my wrist so I can use my hands) over your stomach. Now, either out loud or silently, ask, "How many drops per day should I be taking for my optimal health?" Then, with your fingers the way it shows in the video, start counting, 10 and test the circle. 20, test the circle. 30, test the circle. 40, test the circle. If the circle breaks here, then go back to 31 and repeat until it breaks:

31, test.

32, test.

33, test.

34, test.

35, test.

36, test.

37, test - mine broke here. So, I need to take 12 drops 3 times per day for "optimal health."

You can also use this concept to test things like FreX and the RIFE recordings I did for both sweet breath and to get you moving again...

I wonder if "Christy in Seattle" will muscle test herself and let us know what her results are for the "get you moving" mp3? (No pressure, Christy! You certainly don't have to!!)

Anyway, that's how I test:

• Safety for my body with the thing I want to do it.
• I don't have an allergy to the food/homeopathic/etc.
• How much of something I need to take for optimal health.
• To find out if a problem is actually a thing of the body, mind, or spirit. (Weight, for instance, showed up in all three areas for me.)

Please be sure to let me know if you didn't understand this - I can try to make a video so you can see what I'm doing as I do it, but I don't have any HCG left right now, so I'd have to use something else like vitamin C or D3.

FreX - Sound Therapy

Do you remember the gift I made for everyone in P2 because nearly everyone has trouble eliminating? I made that using a few different tools, but you don't have to bother with all that. You could just use FreX. It's a tool I found online that generates the right frequencies in the right order for whatever you put in the search tool.

I don't know really how to explain it, other than that it works on the same principle as the opera singer who hits the high note and is able to burst the champagne glass across the room. The frequencies vibrate the cells of the "bad stuff" until their cell walls burst and then your body's natural clean up process can happen. I use it for *everything.* Cancer, elimination, flu, sore throat, pneumonia, bronchitis, fatigue, acne, arthritis, fibromyalgia, cold sores, sprained ankles... You name it. I've probably tried it on someone - and almost every time with great success.

I made a FreX tutorial on another site of mine, furheads.com. If you have dogs or cats, you might want to check that site out, too. I'm not nearly so busy on it any more, but the info there is still valid!

Really, really, I hope you check it out. It's the first thing my niece and nephew want me to do when they're not feeling well. "Aunt Jay, will you FreX me for ....?" I even FreX us all overnight now for things like parasites and dental support.

You gotta try it. It's the best thing EVER. Ok. Right next to HCG. :)

A Gift for everyone in Phases 2 and 3

Can I be blunt? Of course I can. lol. It's my blog. The UNcool part of the HCG diet is that you can't have mints - of any sort - during P2 and P3. No oils in P2. No artificial sweeteners in P2 or P3. So, if you need clean, fresh breath... Well. You're just outta luck.

Remember the "get you moving again" gift I made for you? A few people tried it out and were pleasantly surprised with the results.

However, there's a great little set of sound frequencies that work to fight bad breath. I set them all up, one after the other, to give as a gift to you all today! This is the Sweet Breath recordings for everyone. It'll work, of course, in any Phase - or no Phase. :) Just play the mp3, which lasts about 18 minutes, and you should smell clean breath within the following 20 minutes. (Gotta give your body some time to get rid of the stuff causing the bad breath...)

Tuh Dah! Sweet Breath!

A Gift for everyone in Phase Two

I've been working all afternoon to get this gift ready for you. I'm so excited that you try it out!

You know how one of the main complaints of being on Phase 2 is the ..um.. lack of elimination? To put it indelicately, your body just doesn't seem to be able to pooh like it used to! Well, I used RIFE while I was in Phase 2 and didn't really have any problem.

What's RIFE? Well, it's sound frequency therapy. It works on the same principle as the opera singer who can break the champange flute when she hits the high C note. The sound vibrates the glass until it becomes more like a liquid and finally bursts. Certain frequencies, in particular orders, will help your body get rid of illnesses, become energized, or even help your body eliminate waste.

So, my gift for all those who are in Phase 2 is the right combination of frequencies, in the right order, to help your body eliminate. When ever you're feeling "stuck" or like you "can't go," just run the mp3 file, wait about an hour (maybe two) and your body should be ready to move again!

Indelicate matters (don't read if you don't want to know about body functions observed)

So, there's some things I've been observing that are not usually shared in mixed company. In fact, they're not normally shared in any company and kept private. As I'm writing this blog for those who might be following the same path as I, I think it's best that you know what I'm experiencing, physically, that you might experience while following the hCG protocol.

First, a list of the toiletries Mom & I use:

• Santitizer
• JASON peppermint toothpaste
• Ivory soap (sometimes)
• Dessert Essences Grapeseed Shampoo (this one is not the recommended one, but it seemed to have fewer oils than the recommended shampoo of choice, Garnier.)
• Aussie Hairspray
• Mop C-System texturing spray
• Crystal Rock deodorant (Mom doesn't think this works very well)
• Baby Powder
• Corn Starch (instead of the scented baby powder)

Second, a list of the makeups Mom uses (I don't use any):

• Mascera
• Eye brow pencil
• Lipstick

Next, a list of cleaning products we put our hands in:

• Ivory soap
• Soap nuts
• Ecover dish washing liquid (we wash dishes by hand - grrrr - I hate dishes)
• Ecover stain remover
• BioKleen laundry soap

Now for the indelicate stuff.... If you want to read it, you'll have to highlight the area below:

• I find that my urine is bright bright bright *holy cow!* looks-like-it-could-glow-in-the-dark neon yellow - Mom's is the same
• My stool is a medium consistency but it's a greenish color
• Mom's stool was full of tomatoe skins, and very loose
• Breath is not nearly so hideous in the mornings (which is very nice)
• Mom reports that her breath is worse than normal, though
• Skin was cracking dry inside of 48 hours when using Ivory (thank you to the SLS in the product - BAD stuff), so I now rinse my hands and use Sanitizer instead
• Feet don't stink nearly as often
• Mom reports that she's not a repeat Crystaller (deodorant), so she notices that it doesn't work like she'd like. I am a repeat Crystaller, sometimes using it 4x a day, depending on what I'm doing and how hot it is.

Sleep patterns:

• Myself, I don't notice anything different, other than waking up 2 or 3 times a night to go to the bathroom.
• Mom doesn't notice anything different either.

Energy levels:

Today, Mom is blah. She's just got no energy. I'm planning to "make" her take some B-12, which should take care of that. However, we both notice that we find we need naps in the afternoon. This is not abnormal, but it's also not normal for every day for us to feel we need naps. Myself, I've been taking B-12 in higher doses when I get to the blah-dull feeling. That seems to take care of it PDQ.

That's my observations so far... I'll keep you all informed of any changes that I notice, like hair consistency or skin quality or ... anything different.
