Yes, winter's coming. It's almost here again. You can see it in the trees swaying haplessly in the gusty winds, the branches almost bare, but thankfully not in the frost. Not yet, anyway. And it will soon be time to turn on the heat, so I may last in T.O. for just one more month. With most buildings either offering just carpeting or laminate flooring--or engineered with the plywood underneath--I don't want to risk more "head lock" so my choice seems to be once again checking out rentals in Hawaii. Somebody's got to do it!
I'm kinda sick of moving around, but hey, there may be a good yoga teacher training (YTT) I can do while I'm there! Seemed to be one, in Honolulu. And, if I can find a cheaper rental with a lanai that I can pull a mattress onto and sleep at night as I did last time which helped me alot, I just may give my brain a long relaxing holiday. And more recovery. Would be verrry nice. Wish me luck and stay tuned...

Brain Food
Aside from doing the DNR every day for my brain, I've decided to focus on nutrition that will fix it too. Ironically, one of the authors in my yoga book gave me a book called "Brain Nutrition" -- or something like that -- a few years ago, but I'm a slow learner and didn't follow it! Now, I'm eating solely for my brain. Everything that goes in my mouth--food or vitamin--is geared toward helping the blood flow and giving food for both the neurotransmitters and the myelin of my brain. Plus, of course, the diet must be alkaline.
This includes mung beans, which are apparently the highest protein bean, hemp seeds which make me feel much more grounded after I eat them, and steamed chard before bed--the chard alkalizes my blood and brain and I feel much more grounded when I wake up, and this seems to be key to everything.
Then there's fish oil pills, not eating sugars and not eating wheat (which seems to reduce my stamina and muscles flexibility by 10X by the way!), and amino acid pills to help maintain and build the neurotransmitters.
And, now I'm onto lecithin and phosphatidyl serine as well. Plus, an amazing ayruvedic goopy liquid that goes into my morning hemp protein drink, and I can't remember the name! But it's supposed to remove heavy metals from the brain and I can think much better when I'm on it.
Last but not least, there's my urine shots and chlorophyll enemas! Other than the chard and the goopy stuff and the phosphitydal serine, they seem to do more than anything for returning my brain and pulling me out of my otherwise foggy, loopy, dissociated state!

Urine shots and more LP!
I'm doing the LP daily now. I had to since I REALLY have to get healthy, and I've been getting worse. Mind you, the urine shots have immensely helped my memory short term; I just have to do a few more weeks of them.
Living in another toxic place while trying to heal isn't much of a good test, so the urine shots and everything else may work much better once I'm outta here! It's a place on the water and it's BEAUTIFUL and I just wanted something nice for once. But it was renovated 3 years ago, and the neighbours informed me it's always being renovated so something has been done more recently than I was told.
So I'm looking for another place but have found a way to make the LP more fun so that I actually do it daily--I've turned it into a kind of mind-movie thing and it's so much better that I'm actually sticking with it. So far my sense of smell is returning--and I haven't had one my whole life, so that's fascinating!
Anyways, my head feels like it's crushing in right now and my teeth feel like they're pushing up into my jaw, so I have to go do my weekly urine shot (you can learn more at William Hitt Centre's website) and go for a walk.
I'm finishing editing my book (at www.yogastories.net), printing it in a couple weeks then hopefully I'm off to warmer climes to sleep with windows open!
Oh, and I bought a small Biomat which helps my brain asap for a few hours! I use it every morning since it gets rid of the crushing feeling in my head too. It puts out infrared rays so it's like a little sauna in a mat!
