Mark:  how often do you do the soaks?



A friend was telling me about pads for the feet at night that draw toxins out. 



Do you find that you feel a little worse just after the soaks? I do take meds for my diabetes and for neuropathy when it flairs up. Pain meds make me nauseous. 



Thanks

One protocol I've learned that has greatly helped me is to take sitz 

baths on a regular basis to remove toxins quickly and help with 

arthritic symptoms and other "toxic" reactions.  I have found the baths 

to be reliable, easy, relaxing and rewarding in a relatively short time. 

  I do this in addition to the diet and things move faster.  I place the 

following in a hot bath and keep the bath very hot for some 45 minutes 

while I sweat it out:  1/2 cup raw milk mixed with 1/2 cup raw cream 

stirred into the bath with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and about 1/8 cup 

sea salt.  After soaking and leaving the bath, I wrap up in a large 

towel to keep warm while I cool down and continue to sweat.  On two 

prior occasions (separated by about 3 years) I had sudden symptoms of 

urticaria and both times the sitz bath removed the symptoms within an 

hour or so, never to return.  I believe that cooked foods contribute to 

toxins which cause arthritic problems and find that eating raw meats and 

other foods seems to halt toxic problems and slowly reverse them.  I'm 

guessing you already realize the pain meds are a double-edged sword, 

contributing to the toxic condition - so "good on ya" that you have the 

goal to get off of them.
