SEVEN DAY WATER FAST
A record of my latest healing experiment begins here!
It began partially on Christmas Day. I just could not eat much because of intense bloating and pain in my stomach. Each day after that I had my usual breakfast and a small dinner in the evenings but the bloating and pain continued. I had some constipation too. My sleep was disrupted and intermittent. I was having narcolepsy. Severe flatulence and loud burping. My eyes are red rimmed and producing tiny crystals which stick in my eyelashes.
By December 30th I was more than uncomfortable. I had severe, mind-stopping, pain in my kidney region and it made walking difficult. I noticed a distinct reduction in urination which was almost colourless. Suspecting my kidneys had stopped working properly, I had been drinking bicarbonate of soda in pints of water but the only relief I got from the kidney pain occurred after I took a co-codamol tablet (500mgs).
I began a Water Only Fast from the afternoon of December 30th 2023.
Today, New Years’ Eve, December 31st 2023, the final day of a horrible year, I slept and woke in four hour patterns taking co-codomol tablets approximately every 8 hours. I am only drinking plain distilled water. No food at all. I am constantly fighting to stay conscious. Narcolepsy causes me to sleep in a split second, regardless of my position. I have stopped myself nodding off with my head slowly sinking towards my knees at least a dozen times since 8am. It is now midday. Had to eat two squares of 70% chocolate to deal with sudden repetitive cramping in my hands. [cocoa is full of zinc and magnesium]
Pain burst through at 2.30pm so I took another co-codomol with boiled water. It took a while to kick in, so I gave into the narcolepsy and woke up around 4.30pm because the RoboVac was whirring around the floor. I sent it home and sat up to drink more of my water. Dan cooked some bacon and it smelled like old pork dripping. I had to burn a bit of Holy Wood to mask the pong. Yuk!
At 6pm I began to feel hungry for the first time so I drowned it in water. That does shut it up for a while. My belly is gurgling a bit so maybe whatever ails me is on the move? I hope so.
Dan woke me up from a narcoleptic nap at 6.45pm. I had slumped forward again while a video talked to itself. He insisted that I should eat something for energy to stop the naps. I had a couple of corn crackers with Wensleydale and cranberries.
I keep sensing vibration when I am not moving. It is very slight but it is within me and unusual.
I slept again until 10pm while Dan cooked and ate his dinner apparently. So much for food stopping the ‘Narcos’, huh? It was the pain that brought me around this time so I am taking yet another co-codomol. I don’t ever do this normally. P-Harma generally doesn’t agree with me but I can’t think with this pain in my lower back so I risk another one at 10.33pm as I am listening to James Taylor singing all the old favourites on his playlist, American Standard 2020. It is remarkable how the quality of his voice is still so young and fresh. He is 75 now.
I saw in the New Year by watching the London fireworks on YouTube and then I crashed again until 2.45am when Dan said to go to bed. Hilarious, seeing as I have been asleep more than awake today!
At 3.15am I was up again in agony so I took another pill. I could not lie down in bed, it was unbearable.
Dan made me a dandelion, honey and hot water formula which was pleasant and could speed up the liver/kidney cleanse process. I hope so.
I immediately slept in my recliner chair until 7.00am. It is now 9.00am and I managed to urinate a little more than usual and this time, it has colour. Not much but some. I can feel the pain, dull in the background rather than gripping me like a vice around my waistline. No sign of the narcos!
I had another dandelion and honey formula with another co-codomol 500 at 10am. Dan made me my formula and went to bed because he had been up all night chatting and celebrating with his friends worldwide on Discord.
Over these recent few days I have been very concerned by the attempts made to introduce censorship on Substack. As best I could, given the state of my health, I waded into the silly debate about ‘Nazis’. I was pretty incensed and wrote a number of Notes addressed to the main harmful elements. Censorship is an affliction online which has resulted in the gagging of important points of view since 2017. I created this meme which makes my point very clearly:
So 2024 starts with me using everything I know to defend freedom of speech and simultaneously alleviate extreme pain! I hope this is not a sign of things to come because I have big plans to do a greater more detailed investigation into the Black Nobility and also closely monitor the horrific technological developments in the use of electro-magnetic radiation!
Happy New Year to all my lovely subscribers!

UPDATE - 4PM Jan 1st 2024
Had to take another co-codomol 500 an hour early because the pain is excruciating. I have drunk a lot of distilled water today and have no interest in food so fasting is not as difficult as I thought it might be. It could be that the pain in my kidney is so intense that it is over-riding all other sensations!
Thanks to all of you for keeping my mind occupied answering your comments. That has been more helpful than you will ever know! 🧡
UPDATE - 5.30pm 4th Jan 2024
I am finally home from the Doctors! I was there for over 3 hours and I had to have immediate blood tests and then wait for a prescription. My Doc was very concerned but pretty tight lipped, not wanting to worry me.... which worried me.
The time I was there was much too long and I began to sweat, glowing red in the face with pain. The receptionist phoned my son to come from home and bring me my last co-codomol tablet and he walked through a torrential downpour to bring it to me. Everyone was so kind. The receptionist gave me a large cup of their special mineral water and it was agreed that there was no need for me to sit there and wait any longer.
We have had so much rain since June that the land is totally saturated but today, well!! The skies were black and the rain simply fell and fell relentlessly!
I was joking with other patients that we might need a life raft to get home! An hour later, when the rain on the skylights was so loud that we could barely hear ourselves speak, I suggested that we dismantle the gorgeous wooden roof beams and build an Ark! Everyone was having a great laugh, even though each new person who came through the door was like a drowned rat. All roared when one of the receptionists declared that this is nothing short of Armageddon! The staff seemed so pleased that we were all pretty cheerful about it. We were all elderly Brits, under the weather in both senses of the words, but pulling the stiff upper lip and cracking jokes to get us through.
Dan had phoned for a taxi and when the Romanian driver arrived, he told us that everywhere is flooded with big puddles, causing chaos on the roads. He has never seen so much water in the Bournemouth area before and he has lived here many years. The rain stopped just as I stepped out of the surgery and hobbled to the taxi! It resumed after I was safely indoors! I tell you, this Universe loves me.... I swear it does!
When I got home my 750 ml bottle of special organic pure cranberry juice had been delivered and I gratefully tucked into that straight away. It is delicious without sugar or sweeteners. I don't know why anyone would want to mess with its exclusive, vital taste by adding sweetness.
I like to mix it with tonic water for a bitter blast of quinine but Dan likes it with honey.
Dan is now on his way back to the surgery to speak to the doctor (the rain miraculously stopped again!) He will collect any prescriptions that may be deemed appropriate.
I wait warm and relaxing, as the pain subsides under the last of my secret stash of co-codomol.
This is funny:- When I told the doctor I was taking them he looked puzzled and said, "But I have never prescribed you any co-codamol!" That was when I realised that I had stashed these pills before I moved to Dorset. This means that they were 10 years old..... at least. The doc simply rolled his eyes!
Dan returned from the pharmacy with a huge box of 100 co-codamol. I was sure that the Doctor had said that there would be two items so I phoned the surgery and they said that was correct - there should have been a prescription for Macragol sachets too. The dispensary is now shut. Dan has to go back for the Macragol in the morning. 🙄
What a long drawn out ordeal but at least I have a big box of painkillers - just no relief from that which actually ails me!
See? The NHS is pants.
