  • Overheated

    I took quite a detox bath today. It was 109 deg F (maybe 109.5). I got really hot. Really hot. I sweated in the tub. I didn’t last the full 20 minutes. Then I cut my cool-down shower short because… Continue reading

  • Halo

    Today I coiled my head for the first time. I spent some time on and off during the day thinking about what I wrote yesterday regarding the possible sources of headaches. Then I had to make a decision. I chose… Continue reading

  • Perfunctory

    My head is killing me. These headaches are really getting to me. They start at 3 or 4 pm and continue until I go to bed. This happened on Rocephin, too. They became a daily occurrence with greater severity once… Continue reading

  • Henry’s Adventure

    Henry was the skinny, pale orange, 6 month old kitten I found last night crying pathetically in the hallway outside my door. After we walked around the hallway together for 10 minutes and I determined (by ringing doorbells) that he… Continue reading

  • More on Lyme Detoxing

    I spent much of today considering the topic I wrote about yesterday: Lyme is a disease of toxicity. I know things now about how to combat Lyme while reducing the suffering of its host. Still, I’m not sure how it… Continue reading

  • Infra-red Healing

    I bought a BioMat. I though I would do my taxes today, but instead I spent a lot of money. I’ve been looking at IR saunas. They are supposed to be miraculous at getting a person to sweat out toxins.… Continue reading
