Fasting and detox for Evolution: Cleansing the gut of Mucoid Plaque
First published January 2007
Early on my journey here, I felt very much guided on a pathway of increasing vibration. This has lead me to explore the intimate depths of human nature and of course what we consume is a crucial factor. In essence, the higher the vibrational content of the food, the less the body has to work to assimilate it and consequently the slower our metabolism needs to work. As the metabolism slows down, our consciousness is occupied less within normal bodily processes and consequently may expand into other facets of our higher dimensional beingness.
As the soul expands beyond the limitations of the lower bodymind (physical, emotional and lower mind), it unfolds first into the causal body (also known as the 'energy body') connecting us to the conscious life force in all things and also where past life memories are held - here we can unlock the door to the karmic field which has an integral and profound effect on our current life experience. As the body purifies, we taste ever deeper realms of divinity and overlapping dimensions of existence.
For example, it becomes possible to feel someone elses blockages and karma as your own - thus you can help catalyse and process it.
Just like Alice, it begins to feel very much like we've stepped through the illusionary looking glass of our physical world and into the magical and etheric realms. What has become clear to me however, is the importance of bringing those intensifying spiritual experiences here into the physical realm - not to be divorced from them and then have to reconnect. Total application of our absolute, multi-faceted existence to the here and now, is truly living; it is the grounding of spirit, in other words bringing heaven to earth.
In order to do this most effectively, the body must be cleansed of the toxic waste and polluting detritus it has (in most cases) collected as a result of living in our denaturalised and desensitised society. The average forty-year-old eating what governments would describe as a 'healthy balanced diet' is likely to have in excess of 4 undigested pounds of meat - a festering compaction of accumulated waste, pumping out noxious chemicals like some gross chemical production plant belching black fumes into the sky. We may add to that the army of unfriendly parasites that most people have collected over the years as a result of unhealthy meat and dairy products, including the way they're prepared.
This actually changes the composition of the microbiotic lining of our gut and intestines. It means we assimilate plant based food and essential nutrients much less. Hence we find ourselves addicted to eating ever more - we're seldom fully satiated.
All of this undigestable waste compacts over the years into a thick rubbery substance that the medical mainstream barely admits to - mucoid plaque. It will have congealed over many years from the mucus lining the stomach wall, and imbued itself with toxic chemicals from the array of additives in our food (just as an interesting aside, did you know that human corpses decay much more slowly these days? It is a direct result of the preservatives we consume in our food - the preservatives supermarkets chains have to use to keep our food fresh as they fly it many thousands of miles to our dinner tables. Regretfully, long gone are the times when we were sustaining ourselves from homegrown produce alone).
Mucoid plaque is much more difficult to get rid of and requires a serious juice fast together with various decomposing agents such as bentonite clay and psyllium husks.
So it is with this knowledge in mind that I begin my detoxification and rejuvenation fast, something I consider to be a kind of 'resurrection' - the chance to cleanse my body as I move into a new phase of life. I will be sharing my experiences in this forum thread so do tune in and follow the experience.
Here is the schedule I'll be following:
Day 1: Meditation ceremony to set the tone, followed by a half litre of warm water containing two table spoon fulls of atlantic sea salt to cleanse any initial food waste from the gut. Later in the day after the initial purge, begin to take worm wood, black walnut green hulls and cloves to start to remove parasites. Nettle tea (or peppermint) throughout the day as required.
Day 2: Begin with strained linseed water (linseeds soaked overnight in boiling water and then strained in the morning). Followed by breathwork, meditation and conscious movement. After which begins a program of apple juice mixed with bentonite clay and psyllium husks followed by a glass of hot water containing one cap full of cider vinegar sweetened with honey. This would be taken five times at various intervals with nettle tea in between as and when I felt the need.
Day 3, 4, 5: same as Day 2, but being responsive in terms of meditation and spiritual practice to support the release of muccoid plaque.
Day 5: The fast culimates with a liver flush. Beginning with doses of epsom salts and then just before bedtime, downing a mug (about 1 pint) full of olive oil with grapefruit juice in it. Then to rest for several hours while it processes through.
WARNING:
This is a deeply challenging full-on fast that will impact people at the deepest levels. I would only advocate it to those in very good health, not taking medicinal or recreational drugs, having already moved to a strictly vegan diet and having been involved in deep spiritual practice for several years. I would only advocate undertaking the fast integrated with meditation, breathwork, conscious bodywork and spiritual practice.
Wishing You Well

approaching this in the current state of the shift
Comment
Hi Open,
as someone who has yet to approach this, it feels like in the current state of the shift there is no time to first spend a few more years in deep spiritual practice. Also, my diet is still 10-20% vegetarian although after reading this I can say with fair confidence that is likely to change today. The just-jump-in-the-rapids part of me wonders whether to just go for it anyway, but at the same time I understand fully that you would not issue a warning if it were not necessary.
Thus, I would ask if there is any other approach or perhaps alternative starters practice you might describe in the current state of the world? I understand the question is perhaps easier to ask than to answer. Nevertheless, it does not feel as if preparing for several more years is a feasible approach in 2024.
well wishes,
LtJ

Inspired by recent discussions about gut detox, I decided to do a mucoid plaque juice fast three days prior with two other openhanders. On the fourth day, I finally experienced the release of a long black rubbery substance. It was followed by a sense of lightness and a couple of cool synchronicities. lOn my balcony, I found a dead lizard and later a happy orange butterfly. . It feels like a huge relief because a part of me that was holding on inside is no longer there.
When I opened my cupboard, I noticed that I was still carrying an old T-shirt that I borrowed from my brother. The realization hit me that I needed to burn it ceremoniously. Looking back, I see a lot of reptilian - pleadean dynamics between the two of us. After that, I was motivated to thoroughly clean the entire house. This bathroom cleaner caught my eye. Funny how the universe brings us such cool synchronicities. (The below cleanser is not part of the fasting process XD )
The second day was the most difficult because we misinterpreted what Open had written and was only drinking one glass of juice per day. Then there was some confusion - maybe I should get a juicer, but we don't have enough materials. Thanks to Tilly who patiently answered all my questions and provided me with the right information. Then it gave way to some commitment to the path forward - okay, we started and we're not going back - and acceptance - I don't have to do it perfectly, but uniquely. Perhaps it is not a one-time event, but it takes many attempts.
I think I will continue it for 5 more days through the upcoming Openhand retreat. Perhaps there's more of the gluey guy inside? According to what I've read, people do it for a month or two until all solid matter comes out of their gut. We were joking on the third day that it didn't feel like a fast. We are more energized and active than ever before. However, our process was backed up by many meditation ceremonies together - chakra attunement, bow, and discussions.
This felt quite synchronistic to me because I've been experiencing some heavy reptilian dynamics in my life recently. I had let myself be manipulated by someone who lived with me. The interesting thing about this energy is that it doesn't know when to stop and will reach out and grab for more. When I saw my attachment to the reality construct it was hanging on to, this deck of cards castle began to crumble. All I had to do was bravely stand in my truth and be ready for whatever transpired.
Finally, it was my lack of trust in the universal flow that drew this energy to me. There was a sudden shift in power, and the power I had given up due to my attachment began to return. It felt right and good. This mirrored the dynamics I had with my brother as a child. This energy left, and a friend with joyful energy came to live with me and be a part of this fasting. After the fast, I feel compelled to switch to a predominantly raw vegan diet.

That's tremendous Vimal - your body gave up the Mucoid Plaque and you experienced a tremendous spiritual release from it 👍
Clearly it's because of all the dedicated inner work you've been doing over the years.
Well done!

Reflection of the inner work
In reply to Great colon cleansing work! by Open
Comment
Most definitely open. It feels like a physical reflection of the years of release of dense energy from my field. It's the 5th day and more of this stuff is coming out. This has been lurking inside for all these years. No wonder I had many digestion problems. I synchronistically met a lady who practices naturopathy and she suggested papaya seed powder to counteract the parasites. But she also said that, thr mucoid plaque is just clay mixed with husk and dirt. From my personal experience, it doesn't seem so. The spiritual release is enough to confirm that. I experience a hightened sense perceptions and much more connection with synchronicities. I can also sense the thought patterns which is coming from external energies much more easily. . And i feel much much lighter!

The nature of Mucoid Plaque
In reply to Reflection of the inner work by Vimal
Comment
Hi Vimal - just to add, yes, some people maintain the release of Mucoid plaque is only the clay mixed with the husks from the fast itself. Nonsense!!
How does it get compacted, congealed, rubbery and stinking of festering detritus in 5 days?

Didn't I post here already? I can't remember. Day 3 of the 'mucoid plaque' removal and I'm in the confusion phase. There was the panic phase, 'OMG, I've got to eat something'. Thankfully that was over fairly quickly. I found that I only had to steer my consciousness slightly to one side. Slightly too easy? Maybe I'm suspicious. Am I avoiding anything? Possibly. But what's come out early is that food is a distraction. The shopping, preparation, consuming...when you're not doing any of that as well as planning your next meal, then there's all this spaciousness and void beckoning to be filled. I suppose that's the whole purpose, to infuse soul into all those pockets of density concerned with food. There's a link to my 3D existence, of course. What will I become if I transcend this state? What will it look like, feel like...but, hey, I'm using comparisons to my physical 5 senses. As I mooted these musings earlier, I realised that I'm moving my consciousness out of the present and into the realm of expectation, judgement etc. I'm forming all sorts of wonderful fantasies about where this is all leading. And the point is how my consciousness is moving around this experience. There is nowhere specifically for me to go, just the changing quality of my awareness.
So, the experience shifted from, 'hey, I'm hungry, where's the grub?' to 'OMG, I'm gonna die'! ( Ridiculously dramatic I know but there you go.), to 'ah well, get on with it'. I'm still checking my profile in the mirror to see if I'm skinny enough to touch the floor when I do the bow, but I might have to let that one go.
As I sit typing this, I'm feeling a type of unreality, like the room looks different. The medical profession, of course, would be honking about my blood sugar and blood pressure etc. Funny how the official line is the mucoid plaque is something the alternative lot make up. There is suggestion that the plaque is comprised of the purgents taken. When I try to imagine the collective psyllium and bentonite I've taken summating into one of those giant black, rubbery things I see pictures of, I can't. Funny how there's this black and white divide between mainstream medicine and alternative health. But it's just another bit of duality, yin and yang etc.
In the words of P'taah, 'all is valid'.
If I make it to Friday, I'll post again...........
Fasting to get rid of Mucoid Plaque
In reply to fast by andy (not verified)
Comment
Very well done Andy - keep digging in and processing through 👍
To be clear, there's no guarantee your body will give up Mucoid Plaque at the first attempt. It depends on how infused your consciousness is in the lower gut area and how surrendered you are to the process - not resisting or distracting. It has to be a full on immersion - nothing else going on.
See how it goes this time.
And by the way, they run retreats in this, and people are releasing Mucoid Plaque all the time. And when you see it, no, it definitely doesn't look like simply the congealed aggregate of what you consumed in the fast. It's a stinking rubbery mess of detritus that looks and smells like it's been there an eternity!
Bright blessings!!
Open 🙏
well done and really great…

well done and really great point about how much energy food takes up in our lives, if we let it. being a food addict/comfort eater i think about food way too much. the anxiety part is big for me too i think b/c the whole thing with food and me is having had it withheld sometimes and when there's not much love coming from a parent it becomes a comforting substitute. anyway knowing you got past the anxiety helps to know i can too. your feeling of unreality is interesting; do you mean you're disassociating ( cant figue out spelling rn)cause that reminds when i went to the water one sunday morning with no breaky and i felt like i was in an alternate reality, more ephemeral and beautiful, it was amazing. anyway have a great journey and may the plaque exit you 😉🙏
Confronting Mucoid Plaque in the colon - releasing density
Comment
27/09/2022 Openhand Journal Update
I'm not at all surprised that people on the path would get interested in this deep cleansing fast and detox, especially of Mucoid Plaque, which I undertook personally and journaled early on during my time here. I can tell you it was deeply transformative. Because not only did it dislodge the gut material from having eaten animal protein for so long, but it also dislodged the entities that were attaching into it. This is especially important now, as that energy is beginning to peel off and leave in this Great Realignment.
Cleansing the gut in this way has so many advantages. Primarily you take energetic ownership and sovereignty back - because your soul is able to permeate that inner density once more. It brings the lower self into alignment with the higher self. You're no longer constantly derailing yourself due to the base diversionary impulses.
It's not to be taken lightly though. It is full on and you'll need to take a week out while you're working with it. It has to also be a spiritual fast - including plenty of meditation, bodywork (such as the Openhand bow) and plenty of stillness. In which case, it's going to be deeply transformational.
To get a sense of the work, review the approach above, and if you are interested in undertaking it yourself, then I strongly advise reviewing my various posts below, which I wrote during the several days of the fast. Gosh, it seems another lifetime ago now!!

Cleansing the gut of compacted waste from meat and dairy
Comment
I felt to draw attention to this Fast that I completed back in 2007 - a comprehensive fast for getting rid of compacted food waste that has congealed in the gut as 'Mucoid Plaque'. It's a rubbery substance formed from eating meat and dairy, which in truth, the body was not designed to digest (at least not fully). The average human carries upto around 4 lbs of this undigested detritus which greatly affects our ability to absorb nutrients and the sensitivity of the gut, which has a guiding consciousness all of its own.
So if your interested in the cleanse, do read through the thread, which details my experiences. I know a few Openhanders who have conducted it now with varying degrees of success.
I should also say, it is a deeply challenging full-on fast that will impact people at the deepest levels. I would only advocate it to those in very good health, not taking medicinal or recreational drugs, having already moved to a strictly vegan diet and having been involved in deep spiritual practice for several years. I would only adovcate undertaking the fast integrated with meditation, breathwork, conscious bodywork and spiritual practice.

Muccoid Plaque Deep Cleansing Fast Schedule
Comment
Several people recently have contacted me about the deep muccoid plaque fast that removes unwanted compacted waste from the gut, as a result of eating meat, dairy, sugar and processed foods over several years. My schedule, and what I experienced, is outlined in full above. The summary is below, however before contemplating doing it yourself, I would strongly recommend you read the whole thread.
The fast comes with an important note of caution: This is a deeply challenging full-on fast that will impact people at the deepest levels. I would only advocate it to those in very good health, not taking medicinal or recreational drugs, having already moved to a strictly vegan diet and having been involved in deep spiritual practice for several years. I would only adovcate undertaking the fast integrated with meditation, breathwork, conscious bodywork and spiritual practice.

The Muccoid Plaque fast it quite unlike any other
Comment
It's brilliant you did this (colon fast) Alex - wonderful 
It's a tough ride for sure, and I'd only recommend it when people are ready. It's not like other fasts you'll encounter. It seems to cut to the very roots of the matrix as it binds within. You have to be ready to wrip that ego aspect out!
There's definitely something to explore in the dehydration - that didn't happen to me. And possibly that's why you didn't give up so much Muccoid Plaque. I think the fact that the mind was busy fighting to a degree too. It will be most effective when the consciousness can fully feel into and through the abdomen. That way the unwinding separation does its work.
So maybe worth exploring this again in a year or two. Great that you came through it well though!
Much love and respect
Open
Absolutely
Comment
Couldn't agree more, Open.
I've seen various well known detox and nutrition leaders who write this stuff on the net or in books quite casually, like its some kind of simple 'snack recipe". There is no real mention of the impacts and challenges one might encounter, or how you might actually need someone around to support you.
Also, as with everything, detoxing is personal, what's right for you isn't necessarily right for someone else. And its good to remember you might have an expectation of what might arise from your fast. When the process gets underway, it could be quite different from that.
Powerful detox fast - importance of preparation
Comment
I felt to add something important about this fast - it is very powerful indeed, and is very challenging to the system. It's best undertaken when you've already done a at least a few years work cleansing your system by improving diet, because it will release toxin quickly, and then the body has to work hard to cleanse it away. This can feel pretty unpleasant and destabilising whilst it's happening.
So yes, it's something well worth doing to facilitate evolution. Yet you would need to be well prepared for it because of the powerful shifts that take place.
Tackle the shit out of it
Comment
One can transcend anything, including hunger. Days 1 to 10 of my detox fast now completed. Yah for me! I just ate a bowl of nourishing beet borscht. Cheryl Strayed's quote from her book "Wild" and the subsequent film based on it has taken on a whole new meaning:
"The best thing you can possibly do with your life is tackle the fucking shit out of it."

Thank-you Leslie and Open
Comment
Thanks Leslie i appreciate the feedback :)
Open i will take your feedback as consideration but i am not worried in the least about going all out, I have been through what most could not even imagine, an accident in 1987 and pretty much a walking miracle as per many doctors, i have lived life with constant pain since then, had many many badly broken bones and my pain and discomfort tolerance is exceptional and this said by all my specialist....my battle is not gutting things out cause i can do that with anything but my battle is learning to surrender and let go so that i can reach the internal depths i need to.
i just need to find 5 days and work days would probably not be a good idea! lol...but i will do the 3 day first as you suggested.
My commitment is indeed made...and through Openhands guidance i am learning the beauty of Letting go, surrendering and more and more utilizing your catalyzing tools the observer in me is gathering strength...:)
Thank-you all so much for your guidance, i am very grateful.

Admire the commitment
Comment
Hey Steve - the commitment is great - wonderful *OK*
The fast will definitely cleanse a great deal. But don't be too expectant. Let be what will be. To get the maximum from it, is to be very surrendered internally, and that only fully happens when we've let go of a lot of control by walking the path for some time.
Personally, if I was doing it for just 3 days, I wouldn't do the gall bladder/liver flush at this stage. I'd leave that till later. Because it is intense and full on. I would go for three days of fasting first. You'll get a big uplift from it whatever happens. I'm sure that will then inspire you further.

Comment
Looking quickly at your list, only 5 is required, not 4. You finish your juicing after "lunch time" so fast apart from keeping your water intake going before the liver/gallbladder flush. The last epsom salts would be on waking early in the morning.

Being inaccurate in my words
Comment
What I said wasn't accurate. I could feel a realisation but didn't word it correctly, something I frequently do. It was really just landing in a whole different way for me, that humanity is keeping the raptor consciousness here.
Clarification Open...
Comment
First Thanks for posting this, i am on vacation in 3 days for a week and then plan on doing your fast, i have already bought many ingredients from Trinity's recipes so again when back from vacay i can start making more recipes and change my diet.
I realize you are all busy with the Belgium workshop but when u get a chance can you clarify a few steps in the detox stage...here is what a picked up as i read all your 5 days.
see day 1
1) began with a half litre of warm water containing two table spoon fulls of atlantic sea salt.
2)worm wood, black walnut green hulls and cloves,
Day 2
glass of strained linseed water (linseeds soaked overnight in boiling water and then strained in the morning
1 hour later
apple juice mixed with bentonite clay and psyllium husks followed by a glass of hot water containing one cap full of cider vinegar sweetened with honey. This would be taken five times at various intervals with nettle tea in between as and when I felt the need
3)
4) Tonight I will complete the fast with a liver and gall bladder flush - this involves drinking epsom salts followed by a mug-full of cold pressed olive oil just before bed time.
5) This involved more doses of epsom salts and then just before bedtime, downing a mug full of olive oil with grapefruit juice in it .
Another couple of doses of epsom salts
Question I have: Day 3 did u continue the same as day 2 ??
Thanks in Advance
steve
Also holding on
Comment
I guess thats also the same as saying the raptor consciousness keeps finding ways to hold on - through humanity.
Wow I can really feel how deeply it is embedded as I consider both sides holding on.
Raptor Consciousness
Comment
This thread seems really relevant for me at this present time. When your body went through this process Open, I recall you telling me about feeling the raptor consciousness being released. I had not had that realisation myself during my detaox, though I did have an incredibly valuable experience on many levels. For instance I attributed releasing so much toxic material as playing a key role in my kundalini activation unfolding.
It feels like realisations around the raptor consciousness are centre stage for me now.

Expanding Psychic Skills beyond Imagination
Comment
It's now 8yrs on since I did this fast and so much has changed as a direct result.
I can recall my body giving up the Mucoid Plaque all those years ago as if it was yesterday. I couldn't believe this stinking mess that had clearly been festering inside this body for many years. I felt totally relieved. The release felt deeply spiritual and so I took myself out onto the mystical Wearyall Hill in Glastonbury and expressed my deep gratitude to the universe in a very tearful, emotive ceremony. But what happened next was simply earth shattering...
- It felt as two energetic claws were being removed from my abdomen - from my intestine, which to that point I had been unconscious of. The dense vibration of mainstream food does that to you. Later I would come to express this as the 'raptor consciousness'. I came to understand that it was a purposeful vibration by which that consciousness could tune into us and take us over. Yes, absolutely shocking, but nevertheless true. From that moment on, whenever I sat with someone in meditation, I could instantly feel if they had such entities within attaching to this consciousness and feeding off the energy they were unconsciously releasing.
And other incredible things began to happen too: it was as if that part of me - my intestines - had an intelligence all of their own. It was like they were tuned directly into Mother Earth - it has become an intimate connection. I can feel her deeply and what's more, my intestine seems to be able to choose the right food for me. I can mostly tell if a food is right or wrong for me.
Since then, my psychic skills have expanded way beyond any possible imagination. It is this knowing, this expansion, that the intervention - through unconscious and incongruent eating habits - is desperately trying to conceal from humanity.
With blessings

Definition of Mucoid Plaque - what exactly is it?
Comment
Lesley posted this several years ago on this thread and I felt to repost because of it's importance. It's a definition of Mucoid Plaque...
- "The phrase mucoid plaque is a term that I developed to describe complex glycoproteins secreted by the goblet cells, which create a gel-like, viscous and slimy mucus that forms as a layer or layers covering epithelium (inner lining) cells in various hollow organs, especially all the organs of the digestive canal. These include the stomach, small intestine and colon. Mucoid plaque seems to develop in the presence of acids, wherein the mucus is secreted and coagulates....
Mucoid Plaque is created by the body to protect itself when it is under attack from acids or toxic compounds, such as drugs (esp. aspirin and alcohol), salt, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, antigen-antibody complexes, microbial activity, the toxins produced by bacteria, yeast and parasites as well as solutions resulting from incomplete digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. And all of these substances have been found in mucoid plaque.....
Because most people in the Western World are in the habit of eating toxic, processed and high-protein foods (which are acid forming foods) with, and often in between every meal, bowel problems and mucoid plaque development are epidemic, along with gallstones, calcium problems, heart disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, mental and emotional problems, and related disorders. It is important to know that mucoid plaque seems to be the forerunner of many disease conditions.....
The bowel feeds every other organ, every tissue, every cell in our bodies. When the quality of that feeding is contaminated or inadequate, the cells and organs in the rest of the body will reflect that poor quality. A toxic bowel means toxic blood and lymph, toxic organs and cells, and distortions of DNA and body function."

Fasting and Detox for Evolution
Comment
Greetings All! This is such a welcomed thread on fasting and detox given that I began a 10-day detox/fast three days ago. I was feeling a bit alone with this and unsure about which way to go from hereon in, so I greatly appreciate your timely re-post, Open, and all the informative comments here from the many contributors. As I read through this, I immediately alighted on the information that feels right for me, so I'm going to incorporate those elements into my fast. Lesley, some of your comments about your experiences around the time of your detox fast resonate particularly strongly with me. I've had a very itchy, uncomfortable red rash on my face for several weeks now, the purpose of which I am intuiting on many levels, spiritual, emotional, and physical. The detox invite is strongly beckoning. Much gratitude, Catherine xxx
On the subject of energy
Comment
As an aside to the detox conversation...but with a possible link...a recent discovery for me certainly has been the wonder of Homeopathy, especially with regard to raising energy levels and realigning the life force.Homeopathy could have great results, especially re: your comments Marigold...Hi Marigold ! Hope you don't mind me throwing this note in, I do realise that we all have our own healing path, though wanted to mention Homeopathy, it's a blessing for many and works with the body's enegy system (rather than biochemically Re: pharmaceutical medications). Dr Emoto's work is facinating and ties in well here, with the imprinting of energy in water, which is the means of creating Homeopathic remedies from the energy of eg. minerals/plants around us. All the very best to all,
Alexis
Resonate with Health
Comment
I am one of those over zealous health advocates but the profound feeling of energy gained never ceases to amaze me and it is hard to to want everyone to feel the same. Unlike the artificial effect of stimulant food and beverages, live food donates its life energy to us. I am a huge proponent of wheatgrass and grow my own at home. I find it to be invaluable to detoxing as well as remarkably sustaining and I plan a day a month wheatgrass fast on top of my usual regime.
Since reading Dr Emoto's work on the effect of consciousness on water, I started blessing the food I eat & beverages that I drink. I thought that in the context of this thread this is another aspect to detoxing, understanding our relationship with food as well as recognising the chain of effort that brought it to our table.

Hi Open and fellow enlightened contributors...
thankyou so much for this article and for sharing you experience/s. I'm planning to begin a detox and fasting period for March with a view to removing mucoid plaque for the first time. I am on prescription medication for depression, which unfortunately I've got very dependent on over the years so I think I am going to have to take this cleansing process very slowly. :-) I have been searching for various sources for the ingrediants(except sea salt which I have) and was wondering who you would recommend to purchase these from. I live in Scotland so the company would need to be UK based. I arrived at Openhand from Waking Times and I read your article, The Hunted Gatherer there. I feel that I am a reasonably enlightened person, but would really benefit from a thorough internal cleanse to help me achieve a greater spiritual connection. I loved the 5Gateways documentary, thanks for making. Peace and Love, Hilary

Well after a bit of research, I've finally committed to purchasing the detox and anti-parasite kit online and ordered your Five Gateways paperback so while I am detoxing and killing the wee beasties i can read your book for inspiration. I will probably pass this book onto a friend as she's getting curious as to why I'm so different lately. :-)
Looking forward to getting started and sharing my experience too.
Hugs

Thank you for reposting this article!!!
For some weeks now I feel the pull to do a detoxification and actually wanted to do one with Lesly but as I will go to Portugal in 2 weeks, I can't do that anymore. I found a hawaiian detox fast which resonates with me, but haven't managed to do it yet. So yesterday I closed the link of the website, thinking that I won't be able to do it in the next time (but aware that comfort zone and lazyness playing a big part in it).
Reading your article and experiences here leaves me inspired and a little voice is telling me that I should get up and get started! Yesterday night I wondering what I could do to raise my vibration, as the vibration in the house I am living in currently is very dense and full of electro smog. And I am not strong enough yet to keep my vibration high. Over the last weeks I got drained more and more. But this is the answer! A detox fast will help!
So thanks for the (probably not intented ;-) ) push

Deeply cleansing
Comment
Hi Semira,
Thanks for your interest. I could list the exact things I did during the fast, however I think it would be really beneficial for you to read the whole thread about the fast because there's a good deal of useful information in it. If you digest all the material, it will become clear what to do and when.
It is a very stringent fast and does have a deeply cleansing effect. You'll need to take time off whatever you're doing though - it's really all about a deep exploration of inner stillness and stripping away that which doesn't serve - not just in a physical way though. Also it will process deeply seated emotion and karma.
It would also pay to have a friend available to connect with - someone who's informed of what you're doing just in case you become a bit 'spacey' or tired at any point.
Feel free to get back to me if the posts above still leave any unanswered questions.

Gallbladder/liver cleanse
Comment
Hi Beta47,
I'm glad the site inspires you.
The oliveoil/grapefruit concoction is only intended right at the end for the gallbladder/liver cleanse. It's not necessary to cleanse the colon. In fact its a very intense process and should only really be undertaken when we're fairly well down the path of cleansing.
It feels like you have a powerful motivation now - so the invitation is to keep right on going. Sending you heaps of love and positivity.

Open's fast: Day 4 - More mucoid plaque!
Comment
Does this sound strong? It's a toned down version of the way I really feel. I would love to gather a huge pile of Mucoid Plaque, dump it on 10 Downing Street's doorstep and ask the government scientists what they make of it?
Tonight I will complete the fast with a liver and gall bladder flush - this involves drinking epsom salts followed by a mug-full of cold pressed olive oil just before bed time.
I wait with baited breath as to what alien substance will materialise next!
Open :smile:
(NB: I would highly recommend that if you do this fast, you're cared for by someone who understands what you're doing. Better still, find people or an organisation that can help you through it.)
Open's fast: Day 3 release of 'Mucoid Plaque'

Detox....
Comment
I haven't had a chance to look at the website for a while - and what do I get when I do : mucoid plaque and bowel movements... Wonderful! Seriously, it is also a very topical subject for me as after years of delusional "healthy eating" which led to me getting sicker and sicker I suddenly and thankfully made the spiritual sickness connection - which is probably not just personal, but communal and global as well. This awareness is taking me on an amazing journey into the realms of cellular toxicity, detox processes (has anyone tried coffee enemas - wonderful when you want to let go of something!), lunar influences and the bodymind experience of health and wellbeing. It is such a journey and so empowering to begin to address my physical/emotional/spiritual health at the deepest level - that is the 70 trillion or so cells that have been overloaded since birth (and before..) with chemicals, preservatives, impure water, antibiotics, painkillers and negativity. Although I turned vegetarian as a child and have largely eaten healthy/organic wholefoods as an adult, I eventually became quite ill simply because of the underlying toxicity in my cells, my inability to connect energetically with what I was eating and my lack of consciousness with Spirit. I could go on but!....I would recommend to anyone finding a process that resonates as it can literally, get rid of the crap that you are carrying about (and not just that kind..) It is, apparently (?) better to wait until the spring equinox before undertaking anything too serious as blood and lymph move slower in winter so making it harder to shift any cellular "stuckness". But, try it - without giving your cells a chance to function fluidly, it is difficult for anything else to function fluidly either. There is much information about - a brilliant resource is Paul Pitchford's Healing with Wholefoods.
So thank you Chris for sharing your experiences, it's not the kind of stuff you can discuss with most folk and it is good to know there are others out there too! I await your MP with interest! You might find the new moon helps on Friday?
Hi Open, Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing and perfect timing. I have just recently discovered my body is in need of some serious healing and am looking for a detox process that will result in helping my cells to clear their memory and begin to form in a normal healthy way.
Keep going strong!
Open's fast: Day 2 - Deep cleansing begins

Another Alternative To Fasting
Comment
Every year for a 14 day period I fast as well. Fasting is an amazing way of releasing toxins from the body.
I keep my eating habits relatively in balance so weight has never been an issue for me. My reasons for fasting is to release toxins that have attached whether it be breathed or eaten. A total cleansing of Self.
My fasting technique is through an ancient cleansing method consisting of lemons, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and mint herbal tea. Some refer to it as the Lemonade Diet because of course no matter what method of fast one chooses to use, we are going to loose :wink:
I will state for the record, that this cleanse gives the word "energy" a whole new meaning! It is awesome!
Secondly, there is absolutely no hunger after the 2nd or 3rd day. None whatsoever.
I also would like to bring awareness to people who are looking to cleanse, that as the toxins are released from the body, there will be visible effects. Nausa, achne, running to the bathroom more frequently, headaches and moodiness. This is all part of the cleansing process, but the good news is that it DOES go away within a week or so.
I noticed that the Internet has a wealth of information on this cleansing technique and can be found by simply typing "Lemonade Diet". Make no mistake, this cleansing fast has been around for centuries! Its just that people more inclined to try something with the word "diet" rather than "Fast or Cleanse". :)
Open, I can totally relate to being reduced to tears in a fast transition. The release is truly an amazing experience.
Thanks for sharing and happy fast :)

Open's fast: Day 1 - unwelcome guests
Comment
I've felt this particular fast coming on for quite some time. I've worked hard on my diet and incrementally improved it step by step as I've steadily mastered past addictions; meat, milk, eggs butter, caffeine, wheat bread, and processed sugar - addictions fueled by the subliminal marketing messages of over paid, unscrupulous corporations. Doubt my words? Look carefully at the ingredients on the food you buy and notice how much contains sugar. In the beginning I didn't pay enough attention. I thought that if I cut out the obvious 'foods' like cakes, biscuits, processed chocolate and ice cream, then I would have solved the problem - how naive I was! The craving continued unabated.
Then I started looking more closely at the ingredients of other foods like bread for example - much of it contains sugar. As I took more interest, I noticed that many processed foods contain this hopelessly addictive white cocaine. But why is it so bad for us? Basically it is so highly processed that it passes straight through the stomach wall and into the blood stream giving the body a massive jolt of blood sugar. Such sugar surges are bad for the body and so alarm bells are sounded in the pancreas which releases insulin into the bloodstream to consume the sugar. The waste is deposited as fat around the body - the cause of much obesity. In some, it deposits itself in the soft tissue around the anus - the reason so many people suffer from piles. However this is not the only uncomfortable impact of the story. Sugar causes excess insulin to be deposited in the blood - insulin makes us feel hungry and so we crave the sugary foods more - it's a vicious circle. We develop an addiction to foods that contain sugar, great for supermarket share prices - a 'fat cat' investors delight - but for us, bad news indeed. Over time the pancreas is so bombarded that is begins to fail which is why diabetes is seeing an exponential increase. Obesity is just the thin end of the wedge.
Having mastered all of these addictions, I felt it time to cleanse my body, relieving it of the toxic waste it had gathered over forty years of mainstream food. So as I arose this morning and felt the urge to begin, although some trepidation, I could feel the density of the vibration in my body, and so at the same time great joy, as I knew I would be getting rid of some unwanted baggage. At the outset, I was reminded from previous occasions that a fast is not just a bodily cleansing process. In fact fasting is a spiritual art and should be approached as such if we are to gain maximum benefit.
So I began with a short meditation ceremony, lit some candles and stilled my consciousness further for clear guidance on the way forward. It began with a half litre of warm water containing two table spoon fulls of atlantic sea salt. Have you ever drank salt water? It's not pleasant at all, but it does have the effect of rapidly clearing away recent food waste. The next two hours were spent in close proximity to the loo! As the body empties itself, you begin to sense you are clearing negative energy as well and indeed you are. Consequently this can be very draining and I felt myself quickly becoming quite spacey - a kind of floating and expanded sensation. I felt a strong pull to lie down and meditate which I did to some soft music for the next couple of hours interspersed by occasional dashes to the loo!
Following that initial period, it felt like it was time to confront the unfriendly parasitic inhabitants which frequent my stomach lining. I've suspected their presence for quite some time - healthy whole food products have tended not to be fully sustaining as if the nutrients have been drained off, my faeces has been very soft and unformed and quite smelly considering I already had a healthy diet. There are other indications but I'll leave you to discover those on the web - there's plenty of info out there if you do a google search. I decided the best way to remove these unwelcome parasites with worm wood, black walnut green hulls and cloves, which together will kill over a hundred different types of parasite. An hour after consuming the 'antidote', I definitely felt deep rumblings in my gut - something was acutely unhappy. I shall now watch the change over the following few hours and stick to my favourite nettle tea to make the taste and experience slightly more palatable.
In fact I don't really feel hungry at all and had a wonderful two hour meditation in the early afternoon - it was deeply transcending and reducing me at times to tears. At some point in the not too distant future, I sense it will be time to move onto apple juice, bentonite clay and psyllium husks. This is likely to begin either this evening or tomorrow morning. Its purpose is to begin dislodging the mucoid plaque which is certain to be occupying considerable parts of my intestines. Oh what fun!
