mg and everyone: I am sitting here recovering from the bath. This was a very good one, much better than yesterday. I feel well pleased. I also realize a warning is in order. When it is very good - the water hot enough, the body perspires enough - it takes a lot out of me.

So I made it down to the LR, very wobbly, shaky, holding onto the railing, and set myself down in my cosy terry cloth robe and a down throw, plenty of water handy to replace what was lost, and managed to finish the novel. That was about 25 minutes ago. Now I have enough energy to write this. Just!

Detoxing is essential to my well being. My body seems to soak up toxins like a sponge. On the weekend I had reached the state of brain fog and I was very short tempered. Yesterday's bath helped a great deal but I know I needed more. Especially after I went to Canadian Tire this morning and felt terribly sick within about 5 minutes.

SRS asked about a sauna detox. That is how I got over being exceedingly ill. The sauna method as described by L. Ron Hubbard in Clear body Clear Mind has also been used for many of the people who were at ground zero. Those are the ones who are no longer sick.

It is very heavy and a little complex. I did five sessions under the care of my friend Connie and went from the very depressed couch potato I had been for almost five years to a delighted almost hyperactive person in less than three weeks. Immediately after the fifth session, I was collapsed on the sofa for 3-4 hours. Then I did not look back.

Unfortunately, the toxins are omnipresent and my body/sponge keeps absorbing them. I keep de-toxing. I do not have access to a sauna here. Living in the city, I probably need to do a bath every day or two but the time factor puts me off. I would not, however, have gone into brain fog if we had had water on Saturday! I KNEW I needed a bath.

When I lived on Whidbey Island, I would do some saunas and frequent baths. If I went into Seattle, it was automatic, even if it was 1:30 am, I walked in and turned on the bath and did it. Cities are so toxic.

Well, now I am hungry and feel up to getting a bite to eat wile I continue to relax for another hour or so. Oh, I described part of my environmental problem in a blog "Heartsick to Healthy" on wordpress, by frickthoughts.
