Reaching CP 60 24/7

[Kasper]

back pain is also considered to mainly stem from our upright postures (no matter whether good or bad), etc.

I think that if your posture/alignemnt of your back is perfect, strong posture muscles, you don't have muscle tension, and you walk/run with good technique, you have zero chance of getting back pain.
I know, a lot if's, but in my experience, and according to the critical alignment book I read, this is true.

Sometimes, after doing a really good yoga exercise, I really feel like flying when I start running. Not any discomfort.
I can't keep it like this, but I really believe that I can have this all the time, if I master yoga and keep my CP high.

I easily get knee and hip pain from walking/running (and no amount of practice really helps me adapt);

I haven't read the whole critical alignment book yet, so I might say things incorrectly.
But it seems to me that you've problems what is called the connection between hips/pelvis/lower back in critical alignment yoga.
People with problems here use there hips/lower back when they try to remain pace when they take a step.
While the movement should come from the sacroiliac joint. And the lower back and hips should remain relax.
The more you use your lower back and hips the moment you're feet comes from the ground, the less fluent the movement looks.

If your MCP drops from your late night CP it's because of sleeping too long, too warm, on too soft a surface, or some other sleep factor. This is because something in your sleep is causing you to breathe faster or mouth breathe in your sleep, and there is no mystery to it beyond that. If you get 60+ CP one night, in order to maintain it just use an alarm clock to only sleep for max 4 hours. That should even take priority over having enough energy to run or exercise the next day. Maintaining the CP at 60+ for 24/7 will give you much more energy total than constantly going on a MCP>CP rollercoaster.

If I sleep for 4 hours, I feel great in the morning, but I'll feel sleep deprived during the day, which let my CP drops. I can't keep it 40s+.
I can do 5 hours with some naps, but I don't always have the opportunity to take them.
I feel best with 6 hours at the moment. MCP is around 30-40s. And I can get it up to 50 s easily, and I feel energetic whole day, except first 30 min. in the morning.

Just the last 2 weeks that it feels like this. First I felt like doing best with 7 hours, and I needed naps with 6 hours of sleep.
A year ago I felt best with 10 hours of sleep. And I would feel like dying when sleeping 8 hours.
This is the most important reason I'm keeping up with buteyko. It such an improvement in my life. I sleep less and feel more energetic.

[overkees]

That's why I run on invisible shoes or on barefoot. Too strengthen my muscles in the anckles to absorb the shocks, much better feedback due to no artificial shock absorbing which only lets you run more horrible. It takes a while to adapt to. I couldn't run on running shoes 5km was enough to leave me with days full of pain and not being able to walk, and it was no muscle ache. I hated running, now I love i
I run almost everyday for 30-60 minutes. I'm working up to 1.5 hours of running. I have hypermobile joints, such a severe case that I my anckles bended down. With several supportive shoes and such it only got worse, because my muscles were getting weaker and weaker. It isn't about the joints, it's about the muscles, those are meant to absorb those shocks. Not the joints. Now, after a few months of running this way, I am able to stand up normally for the first time in my life. My left foot could be slightly better, but within a few months it should be how it is meant to be.

So my advice: walk as much barefoot as you can, and otherwise buy some invisible shoes. The taramuharan running sandal (6mm)!

And about those MCP drops, yeah, it is alot about tension I have noticed. But focal infections are very bad for CP in general, and since you can only properly detox at +40 CP, a good control of focal infections is essential. And I have alot of focal infections: Athlete's foot, dead? tonsils, dandruff. And probably still a gut that is not restored properly yet.
Look the problem with these is that they heavily inflame your body, because they all occur at places where your body can't win of m, in the outer layer of the skin for example. That is why you NEED to remove them with additional medicines. Like sprays or creams for athletes foot (now athletes foot is a very tough one).
And yes, I can go above +40 CP up to 50CP, but not for more than 1-2 hours, it will drop below 40 again. To the point of 35, I hate that number, it is impossible to get a reading between 35 and 40, this annoys me, but also gives me the ensurance that 40CP is normalization of the human body and therefore sleeping 6 hours is normal for hour body.
Athlete's foot:
If I go above 40 my feet will get inflamed more and my skin starts to crack. Kasper had some very good results with a new dutch product: AF24 and I'm trying that now, and so far so good, so I think I will be rid of that infection soon enough.
Dead tonsils:
Okay so pretty much all my life I had lots of colds and throat infections. Also being sick twice or thrice a year was nothing special for me. So when I looked in the mirror those HUGE tonsils were nothing special. Until I reread the focal infection on normalbreathing.com, I didn't know for sure because there was no pus or anything like that, but to be sure I started gargling daily with a highly oxidizing and concentrated solution of Sodium Chlorite with Citric acid. And after a few weeks now with the addition of being stopped completely with smoking for 2 months now (yay!), suddenly one of my tonsils decreased to half of its size, and now it's decreased to a third of its original size!! The other tonsil remains abnormally big though. So I'm hoping it will decrease in size as well eventually.
Dandruff
Since I hit puberty I started paying more attention at my appearance and noticed I had a lot of dandruff going on. Now it is speculated that dandruff is the result of: stress, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and climate. Now, since I have not alot of stress and am pretty high with the buteyko compared to most people, hypoxic conditions on the head are not the problem here. I think there might be some mixture of several bad microorganisms going on there that are wreaking havoc. I have tried alot of things, including all kinds of antidandruff shampoos. Only head and shoulders worked for me, but after 3-4 days dandruff would come back horribly. However, I am not applying unnatural stuff at my head ever again. I haven't used anything other than egg yolks, coconut oil, olive oil or apple cider vinegar for 1 year now, and my hear looks very nice except for that dandruff that comes after 4-5 days after my last wash. Egg yolks seem to help very good for removing it, but not for preventing it. So, I'm going to try stevia next, or some bentonite clay maybe, anyway it is not a high priority atm. If my athlete's foot, gut flora and tonsils are restored I will start looking at this again.
Gut (nastiness alert)
Okay, so after I found out that the condition of whiping your ass more than once or two times is definately not normal I started right away with setting things straight. I bought the best probiotic there is on the market: Biokult. A heavy duty probiotic with 14 different types of bacteria that all have been proven to assist a restoration of the gut, in very high concentrations. For effective use you have to ingest 7 - 10 capsules a day for 6 months. But this is the regime for people with IBS and such, so 2 months will probably do the trick when you are on buteyko with CP 35 constantly. So I worked up my dose to 5 capsules with no problems. Then I had a day of herxheimer, with brain fogs and diarrhea. I could after that increase my dose to 10 capsules and everything went fine. There was no need for toilet paper for 10 days straight. I went to libanon, after 6 days there I had diarrhea and got sick, I came back home and resumed my probiotics and now with the addition of Bentonite + Zeolite + Psylium fibre + Activated Charcoal. After doing this, I was really shocked at what came out. I had 3-4 days of very slimey stools with spaghetti kind of strings that were coming out. These spaghetti strings are yeast and fungus overgrowths. If you don't believe me, search it on the google images, but I warn you it WON'T I repeat WON'T be pretty, lol. I had one week of defecating 4-6 times a day. I almost only drank juice and ate raw salmon and egg yolks. And normally I only have the need to defecate only once every 2 days with that diet. Insane what a buildup of literal shit you can have in your gut. I am still shocked looking back at it. Most MDs look at these cleanses as nonsense, but if I use the same regime now as I did back then I maximally have to go twice a day, most of the times just once. This is a third of what I had when I started this protocol. So, I KNOW it's not nonsense. There came a lot of bad stuff out, I am so glad the yeasts are out (hopefully)! The surface of the gut is big, buildup of toxic materials or plaque is a very logical thing to me!

[dime]

MCP 30 :D But my CP is not any higher than this (and is typically lower), I think because I don't let myself get hungry, i.e. at all times my digestion is working full time during the day.

I've been following your experiments because you had a lot of the same symptoms as me. Unfortunately, now everything you said is in question because you mentioned you took psyllium fiber. Not only is this type of fiber extremely inflammatory, especially to people with gut problems, it also is extremely common that it causes the effects similar to what you experienced regarding what you call fungus overgrowth stools. People on curezone and similar sites frequently post similar pictures they had when they take psyllium fiber and other supplements - it does NOT mean that they are cleaning themselves out, what they are actually doing is scraping and tearing away at their gut lining because they are taking extremely harmful and inflammatory fibers like this which CAUSE the huge stools. Psyllium is one of the worst as it rapidly expands when in contact with water. The often cited 'beneficial effect' of it cleaning your pipes is totally ridiculous. They've done autopsies on countless peoples guts and never found 'old impacted fecal matter' from years ago in someones gut/colon/etc. There are like 2 common myths one about john wayne and one about elvis having pounds and pounds of fecal matter after death, not a shred of actual truth or evidence. Furthermore there has never been any evidence or even anecdotal evidence by coroners that have seen anything like this, ever. It's a total myth to sell laxatives of various kinds. People only get those long stringy fecal matter photos that are completely black or red or purple (from blood by scraping their gut lining) when they take these extremely harmful 'laxatives' like psyllium fiber. I have tried to tell people all over the web to stay away. "Liver flushes" also don't exist, the stuff that comes out of you from liver flushes or psyllium flushes or any other type of flush is totally caused by a reaction of what you just put in your body! Don't be fooled: all of the flushes, detoxes, or parasitic blog posts, anecdotes, etc are overblown and totally based on fiction, not to mention extremely dangerous! Even artour from normalbreathing states that it's EXTREMELY rare, (extremely rare and he deals with extremely unhealthy people on a daily basis) that adults have parasitic infections. They are almost always in children at some point of our lives and are excreted naturally over some time.

It would have been really something if you had gotten similar results by taking something that didn't expand and tear up your colon, and the charcoal, zeolite, or bentonite might actually be beneficial, but the psyllium is a definite recipe for disaster. I'm actually researching activated charcoal to see if it helps with potential heavy metal poisoning without bad effects for 1-2 time use.

I think you guys are going a bit overboard with the supplements to be honest though. Things like bio-kult have 14 strains.. 14 strains? As if that is a good number? There are thousands, if not tens of thousands of different strains of bacteria in the healthy human gut. That is why probiotics will never replace the colonization powers of healthy human breast milk for babies, and probiotics will never come close to being useful for human gut health either! These are all scams in my opinion and nobody here has shown any evidence why they would work. Beliefs such as '14 strains is better than none!' is totally ridiculous as well because you are trying to control something extremely complex with something oversimplified. Just like taking one pill to cure a mental illness, which is rooted in complex synergistic effects of health in the body, not due to correcting 1, 2, or 14 neurotransmitters levels (which constantly fluctuate!) For people with truly horrible colon disorders, they have found remarkable results in actually taking fecal matter from healthy people, encapsulating it and sticking it up the colon through the anus of unhealthy people and it will actually colonize and restore health to these unhealthy peoples colon (the lower part at least) because healthy fecal matter is mostly bacteria. That's an example of a 'probiotic' that actually works (yes it's very gross) and even then you can't use those techniques to cure areas higher up in the digestive system, and this is only for people that have totally destroyed their guts biotic system.

One perfect example of this medicine-remedy-disaster is candida. Candida is caused because your pH in your gut or vaginal cavity or skin, mouth, or wherever candida can form becomes too alkaline. Acids on candida makes candida stay in its beneficial and inert state. As soon as conditions becomes too alkaline it 'wakes up' to its growthy fungal, and dangerous form. On the skin/vaginal cavity this could be as simple as using soap in the shower which washes away the acid film over your skin and alkalizes your skin/vaginal cavity too often. In the mouth it could be by using alkalizing toothpastes or just destroying the acid producing bacteria in the mouth. In the gut it could be because you're eating unhealthy foods. It doesn't mean you can take a bunch of acid producing probiotics and magically cure candida. It's not that simple. 24/7 body pH isn't controlled by you eating acidic foods or you taking acidic probiotics. It's finely tuned all the time and only goes awry when you fuck up your health. You have to stop the cause that is impairing your entire body, not use a medicine which 99 times out of 100 will just make things worse.

I'm sure there could be other causes for candida, such as perhaps heavy metals, but the idea is the same: illnesses are caused by external factors and except in the most extreme and dire cases, fixed best always by helping the body to correct itself by freeing it from varying kinds of abuse (unhealthy food, unhealthy lifestyle) rather than supplements!

Also, remember to keep some common sense. If you are getting rainbow-like fecal matter in the pounds and pounds or 4-6 times of diarrhea a day, what is more likely? that the weird supplement you just took caused it, or that somehow you are magically surviving for years with pounds of toxic looking stuff that is bigger than most cancer tumors while you can walk and prance around outdoors like normal? Come on!

I'm with panacea on this matter. Always be extremely sceptical of anything that even remotely hints at detox. I stay away miles away from such stuff.

That the psyllium has literally ripped off your intestines is a bit too much, my guess for the "rainbow" is that it was a lot of undigested matter trapped in the fiber. Something similar to those "gallblader flushes", where people do them 100 times and each time they see like 100 gallblader stones coming out, I mean seriously, how big gallblader do they have that it has so many stones?! When in reality it's just hardened olive oil or whatever else they drink that comes out.

And it doesn't make much sense that there would be build up of who knows what on the walls of your intestines, because the gut lining has extremely fast turnover, like all its cells are renewed every few days and the old ones are flushed down the toilet. I can't imagine that stuff could just get stuck easily, unless you experience extreme constipation. The gut is a fine complicated machinery, and we give it much less credit for its ability to maintain itself than it deserves.

I hate the dandruf, for me it shows up 2-3 days after washing the hair, and it also appears in the beard not just the scalp :(
I'm thinking that the cause would be some nasty bacteria, to which the skin in lack of a better solution responds with faster shedding in order to get rid of it. Something like how the gut increases its cell turnover to get rid of parasites.

meanings of colors of stools (usually, some things change color for other reasons such as charcoal)
(Please ignore the rest of this site including their idiotic solutions for the colors)
http://www.puristat.com/constipation/bowelcolor.aspx

a bit too much? based on WHAT? I'm not saying the psyllium ripped the intestines to shreds like a blender, I'm saying it scraped its way through causing intestinal bleeding. That happens for a lot of reasons and psyllium just happens to be one of the main culprits of that phenomenon (when you know it's been taken before it happens). Colors such as yellow (from that site) are obviously unrelated but the black/red/purple, all blood usually. If he had black stools this could also be caused by the activated charcoal though. I actually think an activated charcoal detox may be great (for a very rare thing , obviously taking it too often will stop nutrient absorption.) If you think about it, we're exposed to way, way, WAY more industrial chemicals on a daily basis from everything from metallic products, plastic products, car exhaust fumes and other fire fumes and impurities, fire proofing chemicals on everything nowadays, mercury, etc. Coconut shell ultra-fine powdered activated charcoal with tons of water when fasting for a day might not be a bad idea.

I ordered some to try on my teeth and tongue, to test that out before I swallow any of it.
If that goes well I'm going to make it into a type of paste and apply it all over my skin. Some websites said if I do this I should smell a 'urine' type smell which means it's detoxifying my skin. If that actually holds true then I'll take the plunge and ingest a little.

Maybe you could try an acid-spritz (like in a water spray bottle) for your scalp after showering, to help restore the acidic pH of your scalp, idk?

@RRM or a moderator can someone please give me the power to edit my posts after 10 min again it's annoying seeing all my grammatical errors later and not being able to fix.

Based on the fact that people eat fiber daily, I don't think it typically causes bleeding..
But pure fiber might be different yes, and psyllium could be really harsh I don't know.

Charcoal is only active in the gut so I'm not sure what will be the effect when you're fasting. It's good if you ingest some poison and then directly take some charcoal. It's very effective to lessen the effects of alcohol if you take it along as you drink.

Not sure what's acid-spritz, but I'll try spraying vinegar, that's a pretty good idea!

[panacea]

basically, psyllium husk fibers is one of the most rapidly expanding (in contact with water) fibers out there and it's pretty rough/sharp against the intestines. that's why it's touted for being a laxative, because it expands so much and causes so much mass of stool (really just because it captured a ton of water and makes the stool big that way, not actually cleaning you out). It's nasty stuff, not comparable to the tiny soft fibers in fruits. Grain-bar fibers might be similarly as bad, but I don't think they absorb nearly as much water.

I used to be a frequent lurker on curezone and believe me, every person that tried psyllium would shout in utter happiness how awesome it was that they got rid of pounds and pounds of 'impacted' fecal matter that was black, dark red, or red or w/e. Of course what's really happening is intestinal bleeding, and I don't care how much of a wow factor you get, no mental placebo effect is worth intestinal bleeding.

activated charcoal (according to what I read today) absorbs almost all kinds of stuff from everywhere in the environment around it. So it should work everywhere, including the mouth, skin, in the stomach or intestines etc. I'm sure you don't want to put it in your eyes or something but I mean, using common sense it seems pretty safe. There's always dangers of buying a form of it that's bad or has impurities or added fillers, but again people here should know by now to research what kinds are medical grade and free of industrial processing shit.

[dime]

But I'm not sure, what do you expect it to absorb if you put it on the skin? Environmental toxins? This will only help while it's on the skin, which will be an insignificant amount of time so it doesn't seem like worth the hassle.

[overkees]

Well, it's about the combination of psylium and bentonite/zeolite. Look, I really have to add bulk (soluble fibres from the psylium) to push it all through. I only combine it with the bentonite and zeolite mixture. And only one teaspoon of it, not the recommended 5 tablespoons per day or something like that. It is not nearly as damaging as other "hard fiber" because it is soluble, please quote your references for it being damaging for your intestines I would like to see that. And besides, we were getting alot of fibre over millions and millions of years. The fact that people respond bad to fiber, says that they have a system that doesn't work properly in my view.

And panacea, please respond to the fact that I never had these ENORMOUS stools SIX times a day again, even if I repeat this treatment for a few days, which I did last weekend for example. So, there is simply NO WAY that it can be all the psylium fibres husks. I get to 30-40% of the totality of these stools I had. So please, don't go like it's all rubbish. I saw it for myself. I ate less when I was on the cleanse.

This is not a life long regime. I did it for one week only. I repeated it 2 times for a few days to make sure that these things didn't occur again. And panacea, you simply can't say the things I saw are psyllium husk remainings, because I don't get these stools, and yeah I see the husks still in the stools if I do add some psylium (remember: never more than one teaspoon a day).

Panacea: I warn you, but type in yeast in stool in google images and look at the 4th and 5th pictures, those are not psylium seed husks, LOL. It won't be pretty though, but this is what came out. And I haven't been able to produce it ever again.

I must also add, that without any supplements I am not whiping my ass 95% of the time. And have perfectly formed stools. I would love to hear your score. And it's getting better and better every week, WITHOUT supplements. So thank you for your time, and decide for yourself.

The color of my shit was almost always yellow and grayish and sometimes black of the charcoal. Today it is brown or reddish. But I eat ALOT of carrots at times. 1 L of carrot juice 2 days of the week, because I am so addicted to it. It is sooooo nice . It's the betacarotene.

[panacea]

@overkees

The psyllium can add much, much more surface area to stools than you would expect, yes, even a tiny teaspoon of it per day.

You said you were seeing all colors of the rainbow in your stool. I've never seen a yellow, grey, and black colored rainbow. Get your story straight.

Psyllium husk fiber is about 33% insoluble fiber, and 66% soluble fiber, not all soluble.

There are no scientific references or people that have bothered to look inside your gut and take photos of what happens as psyllium passes through you.. Be realistic. I'm only telling you the results of things I've heard people say on curezone time and time again, the same kind of 'results' and effects they'd get after doing liver flushes - and these people weren't using the bentonite, zeolite, or charcoal, just the psyllium. If you really didn't have any black, purple, red, maroon, etc colored stool (disregarding charcoal, carrot juice, or other false positives) then you're lucky the psyllium didn't cause intestinal bleeding for you. But again, you claimed to see all colors of the rainbow, not one color (yellow) of the rainbow..

Even with my horrible digestion and after a bout of diarrhea or constipation, if I eat right 100% and exercise just a little I also don't have to wipe and the stools are perfectly formed and small in size and frequency is normalized - just because something is functioning correctly now doesn't mean what you did in the past was healthy. The charcoal and zeolite etc could have helped you, I don't know, but there is no way the psyllium could have. It just inflames the gut, causing internal bleeding for really unhealthy people and causes general inflammation for healthy people, whether they realize it or not, that is exactly its mechanism of action - to speed up your digestion through mechanical force, not by correcting some internal malady.

Anyway, my point was that we will never know if what you had in your stool was 'die off' or not, or if this die off wasn't caused by what you consumed in the first place, or if the die off is even a good sign (rather than inactivating candida instead of killing it en masse) because you took so many supplements at once which can cause all kinds of weird results in the stool, especially psyllium. Grey and black in stool can both be blood, or could be because of inabsorption and coloring due to taking the charcoal. Yellow is due to fast transit time, from the psyllium probably, and of course insoluble fiber like there is in psyllium can lead to bacterial growth even further increasing the size of the stool (could be good or bad bacterial growth, we don't know).

[overkees]

I woud like to add that THE psylium husks i use are a mixture of 33% inulin and 77% psylium husks. The Notion all kinds of THE rainbow was figurative and deceiving, Im sorry for exaggerating. THE stools were yellow to orange yellow, greyish and blackish.

I'm getting some good results already, now using the 150 cp file. It's very challenging for me, I can't multi-task using this file, but I have constant urges to swallow (need breath sign) and can tell it's really helping (ears popping, sounds get more clear, eyesight gets more clear, I kind of 'wake up' from a fog).

I barely managed the 80cp, but I tried it just after lunch. It's quite impossible to multitask, if I don't concentrate on the sounds I very easily go out of sync. Maybe for some simple tasks, but at work it was pretty hard to follow it. I can imagine it it pretty good just before you go to sleep, should help fall asleep quickly :) Would be nice if you can embed a tiny sound e.g. 1s before you need to actually take a breath, to warn you to prepare.

[panacea]

The CP beats I uploaded are useless, as I found out with a discussion with artour. We are simply forcing ourselves (whether we realize it or not) to breathe more air in each time, even if it may seem like it's 'normal' breathing. It can be useful if you are really overbreathing, for example when you wake up in the morning, but isn't useful for actually reaching higher CPs, so just disregard that post of mine. If I had the powers to I would delete the post.
