Kidnapped by Hippies
« on: January 30, 2006, 12:08:28 AM »
So I thought you all might enjoy this. I'm going to be unavailable for a week--no laptop, internet, or phone--while I go to a health clinic in San Diego and eat grass. Yup, I'm being kidnapped by hippies.

*Kidnapped* is a little strong, I guess. Since my mom and I are paying to go. It should be interesting, though. No technology, no makeup, no perfume--just focusing on health and nutrition and how the body works. All the food, though, is organic, raw food, so all I'll be eating is green leafy stuff. They don't have stoves--nothing is cooked. Yum. Sprouts again!!!

I wondered if we were going to be forced to all wear the same thing--like these generic muumuus or something. Apparently, though, we get to wear our own stuff--all comfortable and casual, something that we can exercise in and wear all day while we attend classes. Individuality, huh...I guess it's not completely a hippie/cult colony.  :D

All joking aside, I'm actually quite excited about this. I've been feeling so awful, and this to me is a better solution than another bought of horrible antibiotics or surgery or something like that. The doctor who recommended it is really one of the few doctors who has helped me with my health problems. And he felt that getting rid of the toxins in my body (apparantly I'm quite toxic)  ;) could clear up a lot of my health problems. In the two times I saw him over the weekend, he helped me go from complete agony to bearable pain. So, even though it's hard to get to him as he is in St. George, I think I'm just going to have to make it a priority to keep in touch with him and do check ups.

So, I know it's weird. But if it helps, I won't complain. I'll let you all know in a week if I survive the grass-eating.  ;)

You'd be surprise what drastic change in lifestyle can do for health problems, even for a week.

Much of holistic therapy is looked at skeptically by modern medicine, but there's a lot of truth in the basic concepts.

Good luck.  I hope it goes well for you.

I've found more relief from chronic health problems through holistic medicine than any other way, so I'm with you on that. Which is why I am looking at this experience positively. And I'm hoping to get some knowledge from the classes that I can apply to my everyday life, even when I return to "the real world."

Thanks for the best wishes.  :)

ya, be careful what you say you all most gave the impression that Hippies have anything meaningful to add to society.

Just a note before anyone gets excited, I didn't say that it was a tragedy they were misrepresented. It was just striking.

Just a note before anyone gets excited, I did mean to say Hippies don't contribute to society.  They want to save the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Ohi. Yeah, I've heard of that place. Good luck with all the grazing, Chimera! I hope you find that "golden bridge" of which they talk so fondly! Sure hope the traffic's not to bad. ;D TWG will be so much the funkier when you come back--assuming they actually let you leave the place when the week's up. ;)

Next time we see Chimera she'll be wearing a tie-dyed sarape and a pair of tiny green sunglasses. Sounds cool.

Wait, so when you say you are going to be eating nothing but greens, does that include hemp?
