When you wake up with a hangover, with a rock-n-roll headache looking like the slug someone threw salt on - a toasted shrinkie dink - there are two feasible cures: sleep & water, or another drink.

Toxins are anything the body can't make use of (like food in excess or neon colored anything) the body stores those extra bits in places like fat, mucous membranes, joints, and lymph and when there is an overabundance of these stored toxins, it looks like weight gain, allergies, arthritis, and migraines. As soon as there is room in the bloodstream, our body starts throwing the unassimilated bits back in for elimination and we experience detox; the salty-slug-hangover-poison-reunion-tour.

If we put more poison in, there will be no detox and we will on one hand avoid the headache, but on the other hand acquire quite a collection of chronic "strange" illnesses. If we instead choose sleep & water, those toxins will make their way out and yes, leave us feeling pretty shitty in the process, but hey - you should be sleeping anyway.

Fasting literally speeds everything up. Hence, Day 5 is not for the faint of heart, the safe or conservative. On Day 3 I felt my already quite clean body switch from superficial detox (digestive squatters and epidermal troublemakers) to a deeper level of cleansing. Day 5.

First my mind let go, and I was confronted with outdated belief systems, stagnant thought patterns and inflexible goals. Word toxins rushed forth and flooded my bloodstream to be eliminated via pen and journal. Then my emotions broke levy: the time I didn't cry, loved and wasn't reciprocated, or believed my Loneliness to be "true". Dreams vast vivid lucid refused to be ignored, this emotional detox - but I should be sleeping anyway. Oh wait, I am...

at least I think it's me...

I've got the chills and can not warm up. I am revisiting issues I didn't know I still had. I console myself knowing that I only have to feel it, speak it, write it, exhale it, sweat it, piss it - detox it once.

Get it out. Get it all out. I am ready to grow.
