In the world of Chinese Medicine, if you want to detox, try an UNDA. Or, in some cases, three or four. Then, pray for progress.
UNDA numbers, a homeopathically prepared low-dose of plants and minerals, drain impurities on a cellular level. Each number targets a different organ or organs. Some stimulate. Some calm. All encourage healing--particularly in stressed, overworked, chronically ill bodies.
Finding your perfect combination of UNDAs is a bit like being Goldilocks; testing vial after vial, until you find the right one. Through a process called muscle testing, you hold small vials of compound and "resist" as the practitioner presses against your outstrectched hand or arm.
-UNDAs that strengthen you (think Popeye and spinach) are considered compatible.
-UNDAs that weaken you (think Superman and Kryptonite) get eliminated.
From there, you're prescribed a specific formulation...usually a combination of three or four numbers.
My UNDAs--24, 9, 1001--were initially greeted with a rousing round of skepticism.
Me (teasing my Acupuncturist): Really? We're going to do muscle testing? That's so WOO-WOO.
In truth, other 'out there' things like ART testing have proven to be accurate. With nothing to lose, I decided to give it a go.
Curiously, I saddled up to the bar, read the directions, and prepared for my first dose--10 drops on the tongue, hold 30 seconds, wait, then start again.
How do you get it on your tongue? I wondered.
Finally, I found my rhythm...drops on a spoon, spoon in my mouth, hold, bottle back in the package, repeat with the next number.
(FYI: Use plastic spoons here; metal ones may be reactive).
Within in 5 minutes, I sat astonished.
- My head cracked open like a coconut
- Water poured from my sinuses down my throat
- Chunks of substance came out in my stool and urine
- Cold chills took over my body
- By 4:00pm, sleep (and crazy dreams) were my friend
That was yesterday. Today, I am mentally clearer than I have been in months...
well worth the $75.
Hopefully, this will relieve my frozen shoulder, neck, and arm pain...problems I've been told are caused by trapped toxins--particularly in the liver.
Finger's crossed, chicken bone, knock on wood, no whammies...

Altered Today: Protocols, Detox Methods
Crossing my fingers with you and praying that this is the beginning of more good things to come. You're an amazing person (I know I've said it before, but it's true). I appreciate your complete openness and honesty in what you share on your blogs for the rest of us to read. It's inspiring, encouraging, and sometimes downright scary! ; )
I know it helps others to know that we aren't alone with all these creepy symptoms, pain, sensations, bugs, etc, etc. Thanks for being yourself and sharing with the rest of us. Praying that you are on the road to more good things to come.

Response to your pm to come soon. Been busy with family (my 3 grandbabies) from Florida for the holidays.

I am so excited to hear this, Kathy! I hope and pray for continued improvements with the Unda's. I know ANY improvement is a welcome change; especially with your frozen shoulder and pain. I've been using Unda's off/on for a few years. And they are potent, girly! I've been on 2, 9, 15, 24 and 258. My doc loves all the Undas.
Can't wait to see what happens. You know I'm always following along with you. Love how you described muscle-testing btw. Great way to explain it. So super-heroish :)
Take care dear friend. Love you!!

Oh Gary...I love you. So glad you are having fun with those grandbabies and enjoying yourself. Give a yell when you have the chance to catch up...no hurry. And, if you are in Florida, VISIT! Would love to see you and Rhonda. Love, love, love, love, and more love.
Thanks for always brightening my day. :)

No Whammies! No Whammies! Hope these Undas are the ticket to healing for you, my friend! XO

Kathy, my homeopathic practitioner has tried so many different things to get me to 'drain' and nothing is working. I do know of a Chinese medicine practitioner. Might be the next step.

Michele, This might be worth a shot. Since starting, my energy is through the roof and my mind is totally clear...feel like my old self that can handle things. Unfortunately, still having shoulder/neck pain...which is why I started the things. LOL. But the unexpected perks have been awesome. Will be interesting to see if it lasts. Hugs to you as you heal.

Kathy, I was just reading my symptoms of the coconut head symptoms happened to me last nite after rifing. Amazing that the symptoms were the same. I am interested in your treatment and glad to see you are still finding different routes for this awful illness. It sucks, it causes horrible symptoms, emotional ups and downs and the roller coaster does not seem to stop. Just when I feel like two steps forawrd three steps back. Just know I understand. I care and I get it. <3
