That Which Shall Remain Unnamed

Posted December 27, 2007, by peter

You got it. I'm talking about poop here -- one of the few remaning taboo topics in America. A topic that serves as the punchline of many a joke.

But for me, poop is simply one of the most informative indicators of our current ability to excrete toxins

Which brings me to my 3-day solstice water fasts. As I explained last August,  the core purpose of these fasts is for "detoxifying my mind and body, thus promoting my long-term health".

Which brings us back to poop. I'm here to tell you about one of the main benefits of this fast of mine. That benefit is the following: it seems to serve as a sort of "restart" of my pooping system.

During the fast, I poop at the start of each of the four mornings. But as the fast proceeds, the poop gets smaller in volume, stinkier in smell, and darker in color. By the fourth morning, the poop is -- avert the eyes of children and the squeamish -- basically a small puddle that resembles a thick oil slick and smells like -- well let's stop right there.

Today is about a week after I ended the fast. I've attended a few holidays season meals in the interim. How's my poop now?

I've got one word for you: Majestic! Large volume, large diameter, nice consistency, medium color, and not too stinky. To be sure, these are poops to be proud of.

Over the course of the next three months, I'll eat quite "well" -- i.e. raw, organic fruits and veggies, raw nuts, olive and coconut oils, etc. However, from time to time, I'll "cheat" and eat bread and sweets and also eat too much cooked food.

So over the course of these three months, my poop will tend toward the smaller, with color usually on the light side (from eating too much fat).

This will be my poop until March 21 of the coming year. That will be the day my Spring solstice ends, and, once again, my poop will return to its majestic state. Maybe I'll take a picture then. On second thought ...

to drLove: Re your theory about my "fixation" -- could be true, but if so, it's in my subconscious. My consciousness thinks my interest is purely functional. i.e. I'm no more nor no less interested in my poop than I am in my pulse, blood sugar level, energy, etc. To my consciousness, they're all just current "data" about my health. But to my subconsciousness, who knows? Re the California prolonged water fast, that sounds interesting. Maybe on one of your next trips down here.

Bill and I always thought you had a bowel fixation!:) Must have started during that time when you were Serbia (former Yugoslavia) when you were in the outhouse for at least 3 hours and everyone was frieking out because you went missing. Here we found we squatting over the crack in the board floor (very primitive toilets). I think that's where the fixation started!:) Seriously however, I find that when I do water fasts, everything shuts down. Can't poo, can't do nothing. So if I do water fasts, I always accompany them with water enemas. There's this place in California run by doctors/chiros that monitor prolonged water fasting. Maybe you and I should do it together (because there's no one I know of that would be able to do a 30 day water fast). The guy wrote "Pleasure Trap".
