Here's what happened yesterday with the nutritional work -- Rebecca did an incredible job of correlating all of the data I gave her on the forms that she supplied. There was a food journal, a questionnaire/survey regarding symptoms, a health history and one other document where I ranked symptoms. In addition, there was the results of my blood work.

She evaluated all of these data and boiled everything down to a ranking of likely issues and the severity (priority) for each item. Based on that, she used applied kinesiology to identify which areas of my body was asking for intervention.

Once she identified where interventions were needed, she then began an exhaustive testing of supplements to see if they (a) were something my body could handle, (b) how much was needed, and (c) if the substance had any interactions with the other substances being selected. She did this for all of the supplements that seemed to be needed, including the supplements that I'm currently taking.

This process took quite a bit of time and a lot of concentration. The process was initially stalled when I gave contrary responses (involuntary) to the basic calibration tests. After some thought, she asked if I had anything on my body (watch, telephone, metal jewelry). I had none of these items. All I had was my wallet in my left front pocket, which had several cards with magnetic strips. When I gave her my wallet, suddenly the calibration tests worked correctly!

Apparently, my energy channels were being affected by the magnetic fields of some of the cards in my wallet. The implications of this finding are far-reaching. It appears that I'm impacted by low-level magnetic fields such as those on the cards. What about a mobile telephone? Or a laptop computer? Or my DSL wireless modem? As my friend JON would say, "Crikey!"

In addition to the supplements, I also have to address my collection of cooking utensils (need to be inert--either glass or stainless) and my foods (lots of water, no complex carbohydrates, minimize sugars, eat more protein, and much more). All of these changes/additions are in place for a month and then we'll reevaluate everything, adjust supplement levels and adjust the foods I'm eating. This first month is focused on a "cleansing diet" that is meant to normalize the various systems and detox from sugars, carbohydrates, certain fruits, and so on.

I'm fortunate that I can take the time to deal with all of these issues. I don't know what I'd be able to do if I were working.

Anyway, that's the gist of what happened yesterday. I already had my first meal with no complex carbohydrates this afternoon--no rice! Will have to be cautious if I go to DeeDee's and not put mounds of rice on my thali tray--everything if moderation or even slightly less than that.

Much of my postings for the next month will revolve around my diet and what effects it has on my recovery. And anything I discover about my sensitivity to electro-magnetic fields. Nah, nah, nah nah! Perhaps I'll have to start putting tin foil in my hats.

Rains returned after nearly two days of really spectacular skies--brilliant blue skies. Managed to get my walk in earlier today before the rains commenced. Had a good, long trek today.

Just remembered that the nutrition session yesterday was not without some upset. There was a 5pm client scheduled with Rebecca. We got started late and she was so absorbed that she didn't notice the time. After sitting in the waiting area until 6pm, the client needed to return to his hotel room. I felt badly for him having to wait for so long and then not get a treatment. He was there for rebellious Qi work. Rebecca drove he and his wife back to their hotel and then came an completed with me. If was good to complete what we needed to complete, but I still carry an image of the man shaking as he left--he got no relief last night. I hope he got some today.
