At this point, I’m convinced that most individuals advocating “detox” have never truly undergone the process. Why? Because the reality is nothing short of brutal.
My current protocol: two days of fasting, followed by two days of strict carnivore intake (meat and eggs only). No exceptions. The only carbohydrates I allow are from cayenne peppers and homegrown garlic.
After eleven days and three “flu-like cycles,” I can say the worst seems to be behind me. Still, there are observations worth recording.
I was a heavy smoker for twelve years before quitting cold in 2020. Until recently, even the smell of cigarettes repulsed me. Yet, during this detox, I noticed strange cravings resurfacing, primarily nicotine and sugar, cycling back and forth. It felt as though the die-off of yeast and parasites released toxins into my bloodstream, reactivating dormant “reward” pathways in my brain. I even went so far as to purchase a pack of cigarettes, though I haven’t lit one, and God willing, I won’t.
Detoxing is neither pleasurable nor instantaneous. It’s suffering measured in days and weeks. But it’s worth it.
I feel “brand new.” My body feels purged, as though the temple has been cleansed of intruders. Brain fog is gone. Blood flow has improved. Cognition feels sharper, cleaner, and more precise.
My regimen has included Lugol’s solution, turpentine, garlic, cayenne pepper with salt and olive oil, and extra virgin coconut oil, all reinforced by fasting and a carnivore diet. The results are, so far, highly satisfactory.
One clear indicator that the process is incomplete: any lingering desire for sugar, even from natural sources like honey or fruit. To indulge would be to undo the work, feeding the parasites and yeast once again.
That’s my conclusion, forged by experience.
Note: Once parasites feel endangered, they fight back. They will “speak” through cravings, attempting to coerce you into consuming garbage. They rely on sugar and cannot thrive in the ketone-adapted environment. The die-off process is chaotic: irritability for five minutes, followed by zen-like calm for the next five. Whatever you do, do not quit.
