Day 5 Wet and Forget

Wow... so packed the wrong clothing... it is like a NZ mid winter day here today...cold wet and windy. Very cold for the Aussies, right in our zone.
Days like this make you hibernate a bit more... all in rooms, meet for meals and then away for our workshops and appointments.

Tomorrow is a big day for me, the team here have been all working on a programme for me that I will find out about tomorrow, it always fun to know you fall into the complex band...I'm kind of surprised that I have to wait to Friday to get a programme, effectively a whole week passing but they have been cleaning me up I suppose:)

The last 2 days have been tremendously unwell for me... but if we're talking detox...vomit and diarrhea levels that I have must be excellent for the system.

Tonight we learnt about the Endocrine system, this is very relevant to me. I decided that God must be with me every day in how this works in my body. Not having a pituitary gland to regulate hormones like Cortisol, Thyroxine and Testoterone and needing to self medicate in these areas...often seeming to be low. One of the key command and control centres in the body. All very humbling things.

The one thing I have incredibly challenging about this place is that they offer services like massage(that was okay), colonic hydrotherapy(pipe up butt...not that okay with that). Today I had another way outside my comfort zone experience... a clay wrap, clay all over you. The interesting thing is all these services have been done by the same guy...After my wife, he has seen more of me than even my mother would have. To his credit he does this job because he believes it will make a difference.

A friend of mine thinks all of this talk is making me sound more like a hippy...lol, I'm still coming to grips with what this all means for me, do I believe it all, not sure...after 10 years of public system health maybe I do have to change something, I still believe in medicine but maybe there are better ways we can look after ourselves.

The constant theme coming through is the danger of sugar. The World Health Organisation talks about dropping down to 6 teaspoons a day... pretty sure my coke would be around 10? This is an area I need to try to better at, Jo wants me to to go to 0 processed sugars...hmmm but I must try.
They did a special cooking session tonight where we learnt how you can make some yummy stuff just using natural products...that gives me hope:)
