One of the things that may hold people back, or keep them from making progress in terms of solving their health problems and achieving optimum health is the fact that everybody has to make a living on this planet. This is indeed a toughie. It seems that before we get the chance to work on ourselves, we have to pay the piper first. In order to maintain an economic system of exchange, most of us have to put in the hours serving somebody else just to pay the bills and put food on the table before we can take time for self-care.
How do you construct a life where you can make a comfortable living doing something you enjoy and where you have bandwidth, freedom and creativity? This is obviously a big question which ultimately is outside of the scope of the information here in Rapid Regeneration. I would not describe myself as super qualified to advise in this area at the time of writing because I am still working on creating more of an ideal scene for my own life. I have figured out a few things in terms of how to earn a comfortable living and also balance that with achieving results in other important areas of life such as eliminating health problems and achieving wellness goals.
What I would like to focus on is the scenario which is what most people experience — not having the dream job, but rather having some kind of stressful obligation where somebody has to work hard and in return earns a living and thus progresses forward through life in this way. If this is you, then how can you now — on top of that foundation — achieve your health goals? That is what I’ve managed to do since really going after my health problems aggressively starting in the summer of 2015.
To summarize this experience, when I was first going through detox, regeneration, and rebuilding myself while holding down a job, this made things more challenging at work initially. Ultimately, once I really starting feeling great and after achieving extraordinary levels of energy, work became far easier than it ever had been and I began running circles around my peers.
My message overall is that this task can absolutely be accomplished, and you can do it. Do not let your vocation or your business hold you back from your #1 job — which is to make sure you enjoy a long, healthy lifespan free of health problems.
But as you know, I do not sugar-coat these things. Ultimately, if solving a health problem was easy, everybody would solve their health problems. The fact that it is challenging is your opportunity to do what so many others haven’t. And while it may not be easy, it is simple and straightforward. I will explain exactly how I got through the challenge and broke through the other side.
There are certain things no doubt that are better handled at home, and I will address those first. The ones that come to mind — which are two methods that I find are extremely effective especially early on when somebody is starting to work on themselves — are the five-day colon cleanse and the five-day liver cleanse (especially the liver cleanse).
Before attempting the colon cleanse in its entirety, it would be recommended to try a dosage for one or two days on a weekend to see how dramatic the results are. For many individuals, they have the same number of bowel movements daily, but simply eliminate more wastes than normal during each trip to the bathroom. If you find this to be the case, then I see no issue with doing the colon cleanse while reporting to a job as you normally would and using their facilities. However, if an individual experiences more trips to the bathroom than normal, this would likely not be a convenient option to do while working (although you could still boldly choose to go for it).
With respect to the five-day liver cleanse, the first four or so days were not all that intense for me in terms of bowel movements. However the fifth day (and sixth day quite frankly) was quite sensational, and it would be highly recommended to be at home and near a commode, because I was traveling there frequently towards the end of the liver cleanse. Also keep in mind that during these five days of the liver cleanse, you are also taking the colon cleansing product as well. So, it might be smart to time the liver cleanse so that the fifth and sixth days fall on a weekend.
There is other thing I will comment on about the liver cleanse in terms of stamina. Even though for me the number of bowel movements was about the same as usual for the first three or four days, from day two or three through day five or six I did feel quite ragged, drained out, and a bit yucky. The proprietor of the herbal cleansing formula explains that the liver and gallbladder are known to release toxic materials throughout the cleanse, and while most are eliminated via the colon, a small part of those toxins get reabsorbed by the intestines back into the bloodstream and then filtered out through the lymphatic system. As a result the body can feel achey and tired which was my experience.
So can you perform your regular work duties while feeling drained throughout the course of the liver cleanse? After all, not everybody has the luxury of being able to take a week-long vacation just to do a cleanse. My view on this is that it ultimately depends on how demanding the job is to which you would need to report during this process.
It’s worth mentioning, after describing the slight discomfort while doing the liver cleanse, that immediately after completing my first liver cleanse I felt absolutely incredible and was amazed at how much better I felt. This ultimately led to my discovering a greater ability to earn income faster and more effectively, and the effort it took to do the cleanse was well worth it a thousand fold.
This brings up a good point, not only regarding a multi-day cleanse, but regarding going through the detoxification process in general as one consumes herbal supplements and/or changes the foods he or she is consuming. When you detox the body, in general you can also experience the effect of the body re-absorbing some toxins as they are being eliminated — sort of ‘saying goodbye to them on the way out’ (AKA a Healing Crisis) — and this can be a yucky feeling.
Remembering back when I was going through my heaviest and most dramatic phase of detox, which was probably from mid-2015 until mid-2016, it is true that there were many times all I wanted to do was simply sit in a recliner chair and completely relax, letting my body purge and heal itself. In many cases that is exactly what I did, when I had the time, although this was not always feasible.
Thinking back on that phase of my journey, rest and recovery were absolutely central, and I took more time to rest than I normally do. What’s funny is that, prior to getting into ‘detoxing’, this was unusual for me because before then I would have always been busy reading something, watching something, socializing, or going someplace. For me to just sit or lie somewhere for an hour was indeed strange as I first started doing it — but I was simply following my desire and fulfilling exactly what I felt like doing.
In the early days of my detox though, whenever I would push through the day without taking those rest breaks, I would absolutely feel totally worn out by the end of the day. It was then that I would collapse into my bed and sleep like a log.
In the years since my initial dramatic detox phase, I haven’t needed nearly that quantity of rest that I did in the early days. I have surprised myself since then accomplishing certain things in my personal and work life in terms of stamina and productivity. There have been many times I’ve been able to work 80+ hour weeks with both my job as well as passion projects when necessary with no shortage of energy — thanks to the heightened levels of vibrance I have been blessed with since going through detox and self-healing. This level of stress is not normal and I have had to balance between hard work and rest over the years but I have stood up to tests of great adversity and pressure and I credit the amazing power that comes with being cleaned out and healed.
There is another element to the rest and recovery that the body seemed to crave during the early days of detoxing for me personally, which is regarding the mind and the emotions. The desire to simply sit still or lie on a couch or bed was not exclusively to let the body rest, detox, and work on recovery and rebuilding itself. As much as you may want to resist this concept, much of this regenerative process is also mental and emotional which I also discovered and had to go through myself. Many people have emotional blocks or constructs which they’ve been holding onto and which have created walls or barriers in their own psyche.
What is amazing about the process of detoxification and regeneration is that it will clear these blockages as well, both in the emotions and the mind. However, in order to really effectively accomplish this, you must have some blank space and emptiness for the self to recreate its different elements. It is not really effective do this while fielding constant interruptions from your peers, your supervisors, your family members, your customers, and so on and so forth — or perhaps it is feasible but it would just take longer in my view.
This is all part of the challenge of undertaking your body’s detoxification and regeneration while still bringing in the type of income you need, or otherwise still completing your regular duties and responsibilities for typical survival. It was in fact challenging for me in terms of work performance until approximately summer of 2017 — two years after I had started the journey. By that time, I was in a really good groove and routine and felt confident in my ability to show up and perform. The results I had gotten in term of my wellness were powerful assets to my ability to perform my work duties and bring in higher levels of income. It was the two years before getting to that point which proved to be the big challenge.
Part of the extra struggle for me was the fact that I was changing careers in the midst of all this among other pressures. I was going through the stresses of a new job which was extremely difficult, different living situations, and other financial dramas that were part of my life at that time, which actually didn’t really get ironed out until 2018. So perhaps undertaking the initial intensity of a detox mission would not be so difficult for somebody with a more established job and personal situation.
Ultimately, if you can get through the first 6-12 months of detoxification, this is the hardest part by far in my experience. It also depends how hard you press your foot on the gas pedal. For me, I was extremely aggressive, doing multiple rounds of total body cleansing and throwing my body at a high speed into detoxification. I went through everything from passing gallstones, liver stones, a ton of junk from the colon, and numerous parasites. I detoxed my nervous system and a lot of mucus and congestion in the brain and head area, and went through many ups and downs like a roller coaster. It was challenging for sure to also make a living during this time and keep my work results consistent, although I did pull it off.
I know some people who get into this journey of detoxification and self-healing that break off from prospects of earning a living in conventional ways. He or she might simply live in their van or at their parents’ house, pan-handle on the streets, or do odd jobs or freelance work. To me this has always seemed even more stressful even than the pressures of an undesirable job. But if that’s what works for you, go for it — I can only relay to you what I know and what’s worked for me.
For me personally, getting through that first year was challenging for sure, and probably would be for you too. But if you can make it through, and still keep nurturing your main job at the same time, by the time you get through the first segment of detoxifying yourself you should be in a much stronger position to perform your job even more easily and productively.
Just imagine, what if you had twice the energy you had now? What if you eliminate the aches, pains and discomforts or greatly relieved them? What if you had a new exciting sensation of where you are going health-wise and the motivation that comes with achieving optimum health? What impact would that have on your work performance?
Ultimately, once you have these things going for you, work becomes so much easier and you start to self-actualize the other parts of your life, whether it’s a different job, a business, relationships, or a creative pursuit like a passion project.
For me, I had to figure out how to detoxify and rebuild myself while holding down a job — and so can you. You can do it! Do it now!
Good luck.
