LYMPHATIC SYSTEM & UNDERSTANDING THE HEALING CRISIS

lymph system healing crisisThe lymphatic system is the ONLY way out for toxins. When we start to fuel our bodies, this system in particular, activates which causes symptoms.

I refer to these symptoms as Healing Crisis (HC).

The lymph system is starting to operate and move. LOTS of toxins coming out, causes of Psoriasis, and the lymph nodes are going to hold and release (causing swelling, new spots in the area and discomfort), to not over-poison the body.

I have gone through this a LOT on my journey, signs of lymph activity are good signs that the body is working and flushing, this is the process that takes a while and why healing takes a while.

At six weeks into your Natural Healing Practice (NHP), the digestive system should be much better, so more absorption, more toxin flushing, more swollen lymph.

You may get soreness in your neck, hips, underarms, shoulders, rib cage, fingers, toes, ankles, knees, all these are major lymph intersections/locations. very light, One way massage up the legs, arms, down the neck towards mid section also helps.

When the lymph nodes back up, nerves in the area become very sensitive. The nerves themselves are also under attack in most cases by viruses thriving in an acidic environment.

An environment we are working on changing over time.

The lymph is our sewer system, the only way out for toxins. I was completely unaware of the true nature and value of this system, UNTIL I started my NHP in 2012 and experienced the many symptoms of healing.

HC dictates that, it took a long time to get this sick, it will take a good long while to reverse and heal. When I found this document by Dr. Walter Last, it honestly saved my life, I was scared, thinking of quitting, I was a year in, new spots everywhere, sore all over, swollen glands, ankles, neck, wrists, ribcage, fingers, elbows etc…

Click this link to read the HC doc – https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H5Sxtkxw8-XCFLGCuLZeiGyVGvyQU0_tmpr7_xLb4cM/

HC symptoms come mainly from lymphatic activity, LOTS of it. Right now as the body first heals, there is a lot of waste to process.

The lymph becomes overworked and the activity itself causes symptoms like these:

  • – Extreme systemic itchiness (itches you just cant scratch)
  • – New spots and pustules to pop up along lymph vessels and joints
  • – old spots spreading out
  • – dry skin
  • – swollen lymph nodes
  • – painful joints around major nodes
  • – chronic lower back and hip pain
  • – fatigue
  • – exhaustion
  • – brain fog
  • – frequent urination (a good thing)
  • – gunk coming out of eyes, ears, nose, mouth
  • – congestion
  • – cold & allergy symptoms
  • – constant runny nose, clear liquid
  • – cold extremities
  • – tingling/numbness
  • – jolts
  • – muscle spasms
  • – illness such as a common cold as toxins are removed
  • – (I’ll add other symptoms I have experienced here as I think of them)

KEEP pumping in the alkaline water. This flushes the lymph system faster.

You can also explore deeper detoxifications and cleansing. Here are the specific things I use for binding, dissolving and elimination:

  1. Zinc
  2. Vitamin C
  3. Magnesium
  4. Spirulina powder
  5. Greens powder
  6. Atlantic Dulse seaweed flakes
  7. Chaga mushroom powder

I put all of these ingredients into a delicious healing smoothie. Get the full recipe on my psoriasis healing diet spreadsheet (bottom-right corner) at this link


I look at my HCs as phases. Phase 1 is when my natural healing journey started in October 2012 and lasted until December 2014, which was the initial and worst HC, and then the psoriasis, in it’s original forms, faded away. My skin cleared and my body prepared to go deeper.

Phase 2, the most severe phase for me started in January 2015 going through December 2018. This was the beginning of going after the infections deep in my knee (ACL reconstruction surgery) and my left jaw (root canal, eventual dental surgery).

Phase 3 began in January 2019 – to the present (October 2020). After calming and clearing into the end of 2018 to end phase 2, on January 2nd, 2019 an outbreak started in the left knee and the spread to cover both legs again in entirety. My skin is improving greatly now! My body is dealing with the causes in and around my knee, which then becomes a systemic elimination process. This causes my skin to berak out all over. I know this now well.

I hope there is not a phase 4, but if there is, I am ready for it, more ready than I have ever been for any battle.

This work in the left knee and left jaw I am still working on clearing deep infections, and when I address them, they activate. These cycles I refer to as “phases”, which I detailed above. HCs can come and go in cycles depending on 2 things I feel:

  1. What the causes of our P are that we are detoxing from i.e. poor diet, infections, metal toxicity, halide toxicity, stress disorders, environmental aspects, no sleep etc…
  2. How deeply rooted the causes are, they must all be completely pulled to the surface and dealt with in sequence. When they are pulled to the surface, the body responds to remove them via the lymph, and this ‘shake up’ has all kinds of symptoms on the skin and internally.

I’m getting to the bottom of it all, and each aspect has an HC involved, that is my experience with this process. I’ll be so much better for it in the long run with my health.

Seek out a lymph drainage massage therapist if you can, I have found a great one this past year and it has helped me immensely through a major HC.

Also try these exercises in morning and/or night to breath, stretch and pump the lymph system. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbs49mL9I2s

A Trampoline (Rebounder) is also great for the lymph. The lymph relies on us to pump it!

Here’s a post I wrote when I first noticed HC symptoms and researched the process of true natural healing in more depth – http://www.psoriasisdiary.com/2013/09/21/guttate-psoriasis-healing/

Here’s the original white paper I found online in 2013, that saved my life at the time. I was really freaked out by all the symptoms for a while. This paper, helped me stay strong – http://www.health-science-spirit.com/healingcrisis.html

A couple years ago, I came across this book, and it is also a very good explanation on the Healing Crisis experience, what to expect and how to handle it. It specifically mentions Psoriasis reversal symptoms, very short, quick read – http://amzn.to/2n0RQbF

Epstein-Barr Virus and Psoriasis

epstein-barr-mono-virusThe battle continues!! I can feel my body addressing viral infection, which I am sure is Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) which is affecting my nervous system.

I’ve had typical cold symptoms (scratch throat, mucus, runny nose, congestion) along with piercing nerve pain, the sciatic nerve that runs down my lower back into right leg, my atlas (neck) and in my jaw, specifically where the root canal tooth was that I had pulled in August. (The dentist found a viral cyst behind the tooth)

This is how EBV lives and survives in the body in it’s later phases, it effects the CNS (central nervous system) and confuses the immune system by releasing neurotoxins.

These neurotoxins are sent into areas of the body which trick the immune system, such as the skin, joints, gut, bowel. In my case, the skin.

The immune system raises walls (inflammation) in these areas to try and stop the virus from advancing, this causes what is commonly known as Psoriasis.

As it replicates, there’s more viral byproduct, more lesions on the skin or in the joints, this process can be slow, or in my case very fast depending on how aggressive the virus is.

EBV is commonly known as “mono” which is it’s phase 2, when it’s contagious, infectious and in the bloodstream.

The virus isn’t in these locations, it burrows deeper into tissues, lining of organs, and stays out of the bloodstream.

Well, my body is digging deep after it and addressing it. As I go through these internal pains, my skin continues to soften and lighten. The viral byproduct is slowly diminishing.

This battle causes inflammation to spread, “things getting worse before they get better”, and the process takes a while depending on how much the virus has replicated.

I’m getting there, I can feel it losing it’s grip. Keep fighting the good fight Warriors!

This is the book I have read which has helped me understand EBV and how to fight it most effectively (some things he mentioned, I had already been doing, which is why I’ve been making consistent progress.

Knowing what we are fighting against, is half the battle. The other half is the FIGHT.

Psoriasis Diet Tips – What to Drink and Eat

I know there are a lot of diets out there, we are becoming more afraid of food with all the conflicting information. AIP, Paleo, Nightshade, eat this, not that. We get to a point where we feel like we can’t eat anything anymore!! What the heck, man!?! 😉

So, lets simplify it and keep the mind busy on practicing, so it doesn’t wander into frustration!

I made progress when I focused on one thing and mastered it each week or two while not worrying about “EVERYTHING” at once.

I focused much more on what I was ADDING to heal, than SUBTRACTING everything I loved to eat.

Diets that suggest lots of animal fats, low carbs, no fruit are NO good, especially at first when your liver and gut need to repair, flush and heal.

Animal fats are really hard on the liver, and when it’s overtaxed, it can leave partially digested animal fats in the gut to putrefy and turn into food for pathogens and parasites. Stick to chicken, wild-caught river fish, lamb, turkey mostly. A little red meat here or there is ok, just avoid pork as much as possible.

Watch My Psoriasis Diet Skills Video Series

fruit-it-does-a-body-goodThis is why liquids are so important, Alkaline Water, green juices, smoothies along with LOTS of raw fruits and vegetables.

FRUITS ARE YOUR FRIENDS, DO NOT FEAR THEM.

Try to go with just chicken, turkey or fresh/frozen wild caught river fish; (i.e. salmon, trout and bass) for animal meats right now as much as you can and not at every meal.

With meals, add herbs and spices. You will find that these bring a lot of flavor to food for your cooking.

Have a leafy salad before dinner, make that a rule, 10 minutes before, while you cook, eat your salad, with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, lime or orange, coconut aminos, himalayan salt, pumpkin seeds for crunch and any veggies and fruits you want.

Try to minimize eggs for now. A few each week are not bad.

Use avocados, coconut oil, flax oil and flax seeds for protein and good fats.

So over the next few weeks, master one thing per week in this order:

  1. Alkaline Water 3-4 liters every 24 hours – 1 liter with 1 whole lemon to start morning:
    1. lemons
    2. liquid chlorophyll
    3. zinc (liquid zinc sulfate)
    4. raw coconut water
    5. keep a water container with you and keep it filled up and keep sipping all day
  2. green juicing
    1. Start morning with 8-16oz of ONLY fresh-made celery juice on empty stomach
    2. Then do other simple juices in afternoon/evening like cucumber, apple, grape, grapefruit, spinach, ginger, cilantro, parsley, broccoli and asparagus – any combination of those
    3. A good inexpensive juicer to get is the Hamilton Beach big mouth juicer – http://amzn.to/1oHipm9
    4. Try to do the celery juice 4-5x per week, beyond that, just juice when you can. I know it takes a while, you have to clean the juicer, just build your skills up and stop worrying about time. Moment awareness provides therapy in the process. If you miss a juice, if you miss a week, no worries, there’s always a new week to start fresh.
  3. herbal teas – I list my priority teas and tinctures in column E of my psoriasis diet spreadsheet here: http://bit.ly/phwfoods
  4. Smoothie for heavy metal and pathogen elimination
    1. Wild Blueberries (frozen)
    2. Cilantro (coriander)
    3. Banana
    4. Watermelon or Cantaloupe
    5. Bone broth
    6. Ginger root
    7. Kale or Spinach
    8. Atlantic Dulse flakes
    9. Chaga mushroom powder
    10. Spirulina powder
    11. Barley grass powder
    12. Cacao powder
    13. Filtered water or raw coconut water
  5. eating
    1. During the workday graze every couple hours, always have a red apple, orange, some berries, celery sticks, carrot sticks, grapes, dates, and melon chunks to munch on.
    2. avocados, ginger, garlic, turmeric, black pepper, herbs/spices
    3. sweet potato, quinoa, any green vegetables steamed or light saute in coconut oil / olive oil
    4. salad before dinner
    5. For sweetening, use raw unfiltered honey and raw stevia
    6. go organic for fruits and veggies as much as possible. For lemons, oranges, avocados, grapefruit with thicker skin you can save money on those and not go organic, but anything you eat the skin of or leafy, try organic if you can.
    7. Click this link and look at Column A on the spreadsheet for a grocery list of foods to go off of – Click here for a grocery list and healing remedies
    8. MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you have a piece of pizza, a beer, a cookie, some cake, whatever, I don’t care about what it is. What I DO care about is that you don’t build guilt and just get back to work. A cookie aint gonna kill your progress, only your mind will. Just keep the mind busy on the protocol. When you slip off the horse, jump back on before the cart runs you over.
  6. exercise
    1. keep it aerobic as much as possible, do not over-exert into anabolic acidic state for too long.
    2. isometric planks, stability ball, push ups, squats, lunges with no weights.
    3. Yoga, very important for deep breathing, stretching, moving lymphatic, meditation
    4. Try these Qigong movements when you wake up as you drink that first liter of lemon water – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbs49mL9I2s

 

You can have some black coffee. If you want to use milk, try almond or coconut milk. I put a teaspoon of coconut oil in my coffee, it gives it body and a buttery flavor.

Also, try and have an herbal tea with raw honey, slice of lemon and some coconut oil here and there.

This is plenty of homework to keep you busy for the next six weeks! Soon, I will make a post on herbal supplements once your body is healing from whole raw fruits and veggies and your are absorbing nutrients effectively.

Do not get too caught up in trendy diets like AIP, Nightshade or Paleo or specifics. Your body needs to heal and flush toxins. The above steps will do that. Click here for my ABCs and 123s for a Psoriasis diet strategy.

Avoid alcohol, white sugar, junk food, BCBs (Boxes-Cans-Bags), red meat, dairy, gluten and cigarettes as much as possible for a while.

With that said, when you do have a treat or go out to eat DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. Eat, Enjoy, drink your Alkaline Water and get back to work. NO GUILT, NO REGRETS.

Don’t cheat yoself, TREAT yoself

IMPORTANT: as you eat healing foods and bring in fluids, the body will start to detox and this has a set of symptoms known as a Healing Crisis, I talk about this a lot. Symptoms such as extreme itchiness all over, redness, heat, acne, hives, swelling, new spots popping up in places you never had them before, fatigue, congestion, cold symptoms, aches and pains, nerve pain, emotional drain, hormonal imbalance, mood swings, anger, frustration, doubt, fear and negative thoughts.

Do not fear that the diet is causing this, it’s not. What’s happening is the healing foods and drink are FUEL that the body is using to reverse causes of the Psoriasis response. This reversal is causing these symptoms, they are signs of progress and must be embraced as part of the process.

Do not gauge any progress internally until six weeks in, then six months in externally (on your skin).

Your body is simply applying all energy and fuel to the healing process as it grows confidence in you to continue to fuel it.

At six weeks, you will notice digestive issues healing; constipation, heartburn, IBS, gastric problems, stomach pain, sluggish liver, diarrhea, nausea and ulcers.

The skin will show signs of healing at four to six months, depending on how deep the toxins are and how much toxic load you have to remove.

Keep fighting the good fight!

Way Of The PHWarrior

phwarrior-code-heal-psoriasis-naturally

As our amazing clan of Warriors from around the world grows, I want to take a moment to reinforce the Way of the PHWarrior.

Psoriasis has profoundly changed my life. It threatened to become a prison cell that would keep me from the world and those close to me. It threatened to shrink my existence to nothing more than a hermit in a cave. It was a curse.

“Why me?“, I always asked. I was a very healthy person, active, athletic, ate pretty well. Why should I be stricken with this? It made me resentful, it made me angry, it made me sad, it made me depressed and it was leading to despair.

This was a path of pain and confusion. One where I became powerless. I struggled to grasp the concepts of medicine available to me, I doubted the advice I was getting from doctors and I was shattered by the consensus of what they all told me,

“This is an incurable autoimmune disorder you are genetically predisposed to and need to manage.“

Then, for eight years, it became a game of masks. Steroid creams and oils, all over my body, as the Psoriasis continued to grow. Head, face, chest, arms, genitals, legs, everywhere; no more social life, no more sex life, no more life. I was one big itch that could not be scratched.

The steroid creams and injections kept coming, and I kept buying them with the little money I had. Then came the methotrexate, and this threatened my life in a different way, pain so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. How can this be? A 30 year-old male, active, pretty healthy (so I thought), now stricken to not only his apartment, but the bed in his room.

My only ‘hope’ was to reach the “severe” tier of Psoriasis to become eligible for the biologic injections such as Embrel, Humira or Stelara. I was frightened by the thought of that. I realized that this was not the answer, and I started to believe that Psoriasis was a curse, because there was no answer.


At that moment, as I had the refill script in my hand to fill for more methotrexate, I had a realization…

“I must get in the game.”

I then had an Epiphany…

“I wasn’t born with this shit, I sure as hell, aint gonna die with this shit.”

So, I took the empty orange bottle, and I threw it in the trash, I put my car keys down, and I picked up Pagano’s “Healing Psoriasis” book and Young’s “The pH Miracle” book, wiped the dust off of them from prior years where I had failed, and I put pen to paper on a plan.

That was March 5th, 2012, I took six months to indulge in life as I had known it while studying and researching holistic healing and joining forums to prepare myself. I then left my friends, my family and my country behind to find a sanctuary to heal.

I started building my natural healing practice in October 2012, with a careful and methodical plan. I did not know what to expect, and I knew the journey would be lonely, but I didn’t care, because at that moment I knew that now, I am walking this journey, no more sitting on the sidelines.


It’s been three and a half years since I threw that prescription refill in the trash, and all my steroid creams & oils along with it. It’s been hell and high water the whole way. My skin erupted as my immune system lashed out from stopping the harsh drugs, and I embraced it.

After one year of natural healing, and building my practice, I realized something important about myself. I learn more when I teach and I help myself better, when I help others.

That was the true crucial moment, much more powerful than the moment when I threw away my useless drugs. That was the moment that lead to PHW. A powerful natural healing movement based on sharing my story. PHW drives me through the perpetual crisis that healing is.

Click here to watch the first video I put on Youtube on August 11th, 2013 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94smO-tpFh4

At that moment, I realized that Psoriasis is NOT a curse, but a blessing. Why? Because through my choice to learn from my pain, I’m helping others do the same.

When we become students of our struggle, we become the masters of our destiny.

When I became the answer to my questions, I became the answer my body needed.

This is now my life’s work.

This is the Way of the PHWarrior. This is why I created these online spaces for others to come who are seeking their own natural answers and a level of self-discipline through practice that will set them free of pain.

A safe, positive, empowering and inspirational place to work hard like other Warriors are working and walk hand in hand on the rocky road of healing naturally.

Three and a half years later, I am still clearing what I know now, is a viral strep infection, my skin is still a mess, but my spirit, body and mind are sound and in sync. This is the difference between the curse and the blessing, the difference between hope and action and the difference between trying and doing…

I am in the game. I am only interested in Natural healing, building my practice and helping others.

This is not how I cope. This is how I cure.


The Way of the PHWarrior is:

  1. Natural Healing
  2. Build A Practice
  3. Help Others

This is why my group exists, my youtube videos, my blog, it all comes from these principles. Learn how to move away from the helpless drugs, and towards a power inside Self, to heal using the elements and a practice.

I know others are at that point I was at, and this helps me with the virtue of patience, one of the many things I am learning beyond healing Psoriasis, thanks to having these places to help others.

I want everyone to know that the goal here are those 3 principles above and that is what we are together to discuss and do. We slowly move away from the drugs and towards the elements; Earth, Wind, Water & Fire.

The Earth grows the remedies we need, the wind carries the oxygen we need, the Water flows through the Planet and us as the source of life and the Fire is our desire to be the solution. Using these four elements has led me to the fifth element, Love for the Man I see in the mirror. The man that Psoriasis made me hate, The man that Psoriasis threatened to take from this life and my loved ones…

The man Psoriasis should never have messed with.

Now, I am in the game and Psoriasis is my opponent, and I love that Man in the Mirror and I’m only focused on winning victories, not focused on defeat. That is why Psoriasis is a blessing, not a curse.

Move forward strong, understand that time is NOT of the essence. What is a few months or a couple years for the rest of my life? “I wasn’t born with this shit, I sure as hell, aint gonna die with this shit.“

This only comes through building a natural healing practice and helping myself through helping others. That is what this PHWarrior clan is for, that is the Way of the PHWarrior.

“I am the answer. I am the cure.“

Much Love. Mad Respect. More Healing.

Get To Work On Healing Psoriasis Naturally

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.” ― Jerzy Gregorek

This TEN year natural healing journey, from September 2012 until now, has taught me a lot about mySELF. A lot about my resolve, willpower, determination, perseverance, hard work and what I am truly capable of. I am now reaching my potential and making it kinetic. In other words, I always take action to make things happen for myself, without hesitation.

It has also taught me about fear, anger, doubt, pain and stress and how they really work in the human mind and body.

The most important lesson this Psoriasis healing journey has taught me is that PRACTICE leads to BELIEF which builds FAITH.

work-to-heal-psoriasis

1. Practice – “practice makes perfect”. Boy, is that ever true! When I was playing basketball as a youngster, my coach hammered that into me. One other adage I took from sports is: “get lost in the process”, which I take as meaning, the preparation, and the means to the end, the reason we obtain victories in our life, and we must embrace that entire process.

Sure, at the finish line, it is the sweetest feeling, but during the race, it can be a bitter taste. I have learned to embrace my practice, and realize that it is the foundation to everything in my life. Healing Psoriasis has given me an opportunity to seek my true potential, purpose and passion in life. I am finding solace and growth in those lessons, way before I’m enjoying the victory, which will be clear skin and no pain.

Without my practice, I wouldn’t have learned of the natural solutions, I wouldn’t be applying mySELF, and I wouldn’t be accountable and responsible to my body, health and vitality. Through my practice, I am healing, and more importantly, growing as a person. My body needs fuel and it needs me, and it is a miraculous machine.

Putting in the work is where all victories come from. The victory is experience and wisdom from application. On this special holiday in my country, where we celebrate Labor Day, I want to emphasize that practicing is the only way to drive results. In this modern culture, where we give away our choices to professionals that charge huge sums of money and we end up waiting so long to see them, has resulted in the essence of a self-built practice fading away. I want to clearly bring it back to the forefront.

I Value my intellect, I Value my efforts, and I get to WORK on mySELF.

2. Belief – This is only obtained through practice. Belief is not a gift. It isn’t random, and it doesn’t fall off of a tree. My belief comes from my Practice. Like we practice our faith, like doctors maintain their practice, and like athletes practice their sport; to be the best, to win victories, to believe in myself, ONLY comes from working hard each day, every day, over and over again, for days, into months, and into years, without question.

The less I question myself, the less I doubt myself, and the less I doubt myself, the less I fear, and the less I fear, the less stress I create in my mind, which ruins my body. Now, my body comes first, my body does not concern itself with doubt or fear, it only absorbs stress from the mind. The body only needs fuel and it needs to rely on and trust in me. As that trust grows, my body will go deeper into healing, my job is to FUEL and ENDURE.

Minds are important, complex and brilliant, but this works both ways, in support and in detriment. The mind must support the body at ALL times, and be the driving force of my practice. This process, the process I am lost in, drives a strong-building belief, that no ONE or THING can deter me from. This is my life’s work, I have my own natural healing practice and I BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

“Do or do not, there is no try.” – Yoda.

3. Faith – When this beautiful realization starts to take place, that I CAN heal, I no longer “try”, I just “DO”.  When results start to come, that is when FAITH starts to build. I do whatever it takes every day, while questioning myself less, and seeking answers more. There is always a sustainable solution around every corner, if we just take a peek. My mentality and lifestyle have shifted entirely from being a victim with no cure, to being a warrior that IS THE CURE.

Faith will cure us. Through a growing Faith, which comes from belief in ourselves, community and HARD WORK together, will we be the masters of our own health and vitality.

A Warrior walks his own path and builds his own practice.

Research, ask questions, join groups, find fellow warriors, find a naturopath, find a mentor, find those that are walking the same path as you and walk with them, hand in hand. I emphasize, WALK, not just TALK. Take an action for every comment, and apply yourself as you discuss with others.

The doubters, the skeptics, they will come, and they will talk, and say many words. The warrior walks, and practices everyday, building belief and eventually faith in self. A faith that is driven on a simple concept. “You’re The Cure.”

What do I mean by that? That I can change my lifestyle, my diet, make really HARD choices, and sacrifice anything to be the master of my destiny and be fear, doubt and pain free, while at the same time, mastering stress.

The “cure”, is the person I am becoming; an empowered, inspired and limitless human being that can then help others do the same. Clearing my skin? Well, that’s just one notch on my belt. I am aware now, that ALL of my body must heal, from the inside, and that the skin is just a sign that my body needs my help to do it.

Does this happen overnight? No, of course not, but let us reminisce on the quote that I started with on this fine Labor Day…

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty…” – Is removing your Psoriasis from your body and removing the pain in your life, without drugs or creams worth having? Just know that you will need to put in constant EFFORT, you will experience healing PAIN and you will go through immense DIFFICULTY to reach your powerful Warrior plateau.

The beauty of it all, will be the person you become. I am still going through pain, and putting in more effort than I ever have, and experiencing incredible difficulty to do this, but the difference now, (as to when I started), is that I now believe in myself that I CAN do this. I have faith in myself that I am winning and that ONLY comes from my practice.

So start your practice today, and don’t ever STOP, don’t ever QUIT, don’t let fear, doubt or pain stop you.

Happy Labor Day, now…..Get to work.
