THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

If you're looking for the mythical fountain of youth, the truth is, any fountain will do as long as the water is clean and pure, and it's the only thing you ingest for an extended period of time.

Prolonged water fasting offers health benefits that can only be described as miraculous, because that's exactly what they are when one fully appreciates what happens to the body when undergoing such an exercise and when one ponders the magic of creation responsible for the incredible healing processes that ensue.

When you run out of dietary glucose and stored glycogen, your body will create in the liver (providing your liver actually works) whatever glucose is required for the brain and will then fuel itself primarily on ketones manufactured from the fat reserves.

This is why we get fat, to store up excess energy for use later on when there's no food in the environment, a frequent occurrence during the first 3.7 billion years of our evolution.

But a lot of interesting things happen to the body when food disappears from the environment. Beyond fuelling itself from our stored fat reserves, a process called autophagy intensifies (and accelerates exponentially as you go deeper into the fast).

Autophagy means, "self-eating" and it's a process where one's cells will recycle dead and damaged proteins, repurposing them for much-needed cellular fuel. In terms of basic evolution, the body anticipates such periods of deprivation and utilizes those moments as an opportunity to repair and recycle the cells. When we invented the agricultural society, we solved the very serious issue of food scarcity and starvation, but inadvertently created a myriad of other problems such as what happens to the body when we don't allow the natural processes of autophagic recycling to occur.

Well, I'll tell you what happens: chronic disease, aging, diminished immune function, cognitive dysfunction, high blood pressure, metabolic illness, diabetes, inflammation, constant fatigue, cancer, depression and all the other wonderful things that make life generally miserable for so many of us.

Given that for most people in the west (not all of us, sadly) access to endless calories is not a major issue, so we must force ourselves into periods of voluntary deprivation if we want to clean up the body and take out the trash so to speak.

Ancient wise ones understood this, hence why every major religion encodes within its doctrines prescribed periods of prolonged fasting.

For 20 years, I've suffered with a chronic condition of the eyes known broadly as blepharitis (a painful, very uncomfortable thing) that occasionally flares up into a far more serious affliction known as uveitis (an inflammation of the cornea) which is potentially damaging to the eyesight. This condition is so excruciating that at the peak of its intensity, you can't do more than sit in a completely dark room. Even a tiny sliver of light is too intense to endure.

Over the last few years, the condition has worsened and the medication that previously helped no longer has any effect. I was getting to the point of learning to live with it, but a typical day with this annoying problem, even a mediocre manifestation, would make most people utterly miserable. I just got used to it.

There are many triggers: eyestrain, humidity and diet (especially all the classic inflammatory foods) so it's a very difficult thing to control. I moved to the Niagara Region in 2017 where it got increasingly worse, I assume due to the slight change in climate. I got into a zone where it was just one endless flare-up cycling into the next, into the next, and into the next.

In the spring of 2021, I did an extended, seven day water fast. I haven't had a single recurrence of this condition since, not even a mild episode.

The pharmaceutical industry doesn't want you to know about the miracles of water fasting, and your indoctrinated doctors certainly won't prescribe such a thing. If you have a medical doctor who understands the healing properties of this practise, you should consider yourself extremely lucky and should take their advice very seriously. Likely, you'll have to find a naturopath if you want any reliable consultation about the process, assuming you can find a competent naturopath that is, a task that's more difficult than it should be.

Since that initial seven day fast, I've done a series of mini fasts, including one, two and three day fasts, and for the last few weeks, I've been following a program where I do a full day water fast every three days.

It's a fairy complicated system, and I've designed a lot of it myself (after much research, trial and error), but I'm seeing some very positive outcomes as a consequence. There's far too many details to get into in a single post but now that I'm knee-deep in the process and seeing empirical results, I'll share some of my findings as I continue to experiment on myself.

For those suffering with debilitating and even life-threatening chronic disease, and you're starting to realize that your indoctrinated doctor is not interested in finding the root cause and will only prescribe endless pharmaceutical products to treat the symptoms, you may want to pay attention to some of these posts.

Many of us were willing to submit ourselves as human pin cushions to a malignant and corrupt pharmaceutical industry. As an alternative approach, I'm offering myself as a human guinea pig to the Gods.

This is an amazing story with a happy ending!

CHOOSE WISELY
..as the Knights of the First Crusade famously said to Indiana Jones.

There's a number of clinics offering bargain basement rates on providing medical documents for grow licenses. Some of these operations are not abiding by the proper regulations. As a result, a number of patients are having their applications to Health Canada rejected.

If you believe you qualify for a larger dosage than your doctor is willing to provide, or you've had a bad experience with one of these "fly by night" outfits, we can certainly help.

We don't typically post on social media but GreenFuse has been around for a couple of years, we have reasonable rates, we follow the College of Physicians Guidelines closely and we've never had any issues with Health Canada. Plus, we only work with Doctors who are passionate and informed about medical cannabis.

SATIVA / INDICA CONFUSION

This video, as useful as it may be, only scratches the surface as to why it's time to abandon these misleading (and incorrectly used) terms.

https://globalnews.ca/news/4678421/labels-sativa-indica-pot/

As Dr. Ethan Russo says....

"Since the taxonomists cannot agree, I would strongly encourage the scientific community, the press, and the public to abandon the sativa/indica nomenclature and rather insist that accurate biochemical assays on cannabinoid and terpenoid profiles be available for Cannabis in both the medical and recreational markets. Scientific accuracy and the public health demand no less than this."

To properly understand the effects of different cultivars of cannabis, you have to look closely at both the cannabinoid content and terpene profile:

Why the labels ‘sativa’ and ‘indica’ tell you very little about your pot Ma*****na is sold as sativa or indica varieties. But the difference doesn't predict what kind of experience you can expect to have, experts warn.

THE FUTURE OF POT?

Nothing will replace the magic of direct sunlight on actual plants and the rich tapestry of terpenes, cannabinoids and other magical compounds that make up this mysterious plant.

But not hard to see the practical applications of this, especially with respects to isolating and mass producing rare compounds in order to study them more effectively.

IMPAIRED DRIVING FOR MEDICAL PATIENTS

I've had a few people ask me if medical patients will be exempt from charges for cannabis-induced impaired driving. Not knowing the answer to this question with any degree of certainty, I decided to call the Health Canada Office of Cannabis for clarification. Amazingly, they didn't know the answer to this question either! (The Office of Cannabis never ceases to amaze.)

They suggested I contact someone in law enforcement so I called my local police station. The woman at the front desk informed me that, absolutely yes, as one may expect, impaired driving charges will apply to medical patients as equally as recreational users.

With that in mind, I'm sharing this tidbit to help correct some of the misinformation floating around — not surprising if even the Office of Cannabis doesn't know the laws surrounding Cannabis (tax payers money well spent there)!

If anyone has any further insight (or even better, facts!), feel free to let me know.

FENTANYL SCAMMERS!

If you know anyone struggling with opioid addiction, get them to try cannabis instead. I talk to people all the time who've managed to get off opioids thanks to cannabis which is perfectly natural, has far less negative side effects and isn't "physically" addictive (of course, you can abuse it and develop a dependancy disorder like anything).

HAPPY 420!

Here's a bit of good news. And I just verified this today with Health Canada. Beginning on March 2nd, all MCR registrations will be active for a full year from the moment they're authorized, regardless of when the medical document runs out.

So if you were waiting 6 months for your application to get approved, you're not going to lose those months by the time you actually get your license in the mail.

So Happy 420 everyone!
