If you have read Way Out East then you will be familiar with my mystery parasitic invader.
For those of you who are wisely enjoying a Pimms in the garden instead I'll fill you in.
Back in 2011 I took a trip to Sri Lanka and Nepal. A year prior to the trip I took a pledge that I would no longer buy plastic water bottles after learning about the dangerous floating plastic soup in the North Pacific that is the size of a continent. I took iodine with me, but for reasons best none to no-one it didn't make it into my water canteen every time and I took on an unscheduled hitch hiker. Or several thousand hitch hikers.
Two years later with the situation unresolved and yet undeterred I am aboard a Megabus to London to discover more about my orchestral digestive workings and my general low energy levels and mood.
Prior to this excursion I lay in bed and decided that if I was going to take on the parasites I had better let them know the score first. It seemed only courteous. I decided that if I disagreed with wars outside of my body I shouldn't attempt to go staging one inside my body. So I lay down and told the parasites calmly that two years was a good innings and its been er....interesting and all...but that it was time to get ready to move on. The lack of luggage would help. I explained the housing conditions were likely to downgrade rapidly and that as we are experiencing a heatwave summer they should feel right at home, as they exited Sri Lanka in the first place in thirty degree heat. With no desire to send them written notification, I fell asleep fairly sure they had heard the warning and were considering their position.
The focus of this blog, whilst I will update you on my thousand strong crowd of unexpected guests, is not parasites. It is unexpectedly sugar. After visiting London and collecting various tinctures and a strong herbal brew from my lady Ewa she suggested I give up wheat for the month I do the cleanse (I already did 7 years ago) and also sugar. She is treating Mr Parasite and other physical and emotional imbalances. This blog will chart the chequered journey of a life without sugar. This means no foods containing sugar, honey or fruit for one month. I already avoid gluten and dairy. It's going to be interesting journey.....
