Dr. Budwig warned that people with cancer should be prepared to stay on the protocol for at least 5 years, lest the cancer recur and be harder, if not impossible, to irradicate the second time. This makes a certain kind of sense to me. If the cell permeability becomes established with the protocol, and, then, the person stops eating the extremely clean diet that is called for by the protocol, the now, super-permeable cells will be efficiently taking in the unhealthy substances from which they were protected during the healing phase of the diet.
This had been making sense to me for a while. Then, on Thurs. I was so busy at Fircrest, having missed the timing I had planned, I grabbed a couple of tacos from a stand nearby, just because I was starving but not yet able to get home to my protocol. By late afternoon, when I could get to the protocol, I was my old, exhausted self, not the kind of healthy exhaustion that occurs in response to exercise or activity when the body has had the nutrition it needs, but a seriously deep flat, drained fatigue. After prepping Budwig mixture, I was barely able to pull myself through the business of getting ready for bed. The day was hot, so possibly that contributed, but this felt a lot like fibro relapse. Except for the time it took to get up and feed kitties, I slept for 14 hours.
Fortunately, with that sleep and resumption of my Budwig routine on Friday, even though, yesterday, I missed my walk, today, Saturday, was a good day with plenty of energy. That said, by late afternoon, I did need a nap which lasted longer than I planned. Now, it's late evening and I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed. Still I'll head to bed again just to re-establish good sleep hygiene.
This business of getting, staying healthy is time-consuming, more so than I ever expected. Still, without my health, I would be losing just as much time sleeping and feeling poor. At least with the protocol and walking, even though it takes far more time than I expected, at least during my waking hours, I feel alive, happy and pain free!
Reminder to self: This is my life now. I must choose to give thanks for the Grace of exuberant good health and stop thinking I should be doing it some other way!
