Catherine_H, Age 26, 7DW Level 1, Introduction

[Catherine_H]

Hello,

My name is Catherine Harkins and I am a Scottish expat based in Switzerland. My husband and I are both working here, where I work for a Management Development school.

I came about HPS by chance when I was researching colon problems on the web. I have had a history of gastric and colon problems for over 6 years now (I am 26) and recently had another bad case. I couldnt believe my luck when I read all the testimonies as they were cataloguing exactly what I have been experiencing for years! I signed up instantly and am really looking forward to this journey to great health.

From this course I hope to eliminate the tiredness and sluggishness that I feel as well as the colon/gastric problems. I spend a lot of time and money on the outside of my body that I feel it is well overdue to look at the inside of my body and give it a well deserved break!

Thank you for reading my introduction!

Cheers
Catherine

Welcome to HPS, Catherine
Great that you are doing this at your young age - many of the rest of us waited long past when we should have started taking care of ourselves.

You will really enjoy this program and get tremendous benefit from it!

[Tsang_Y]

Hi Catherine,

You raised a good point about taking care of the inside and outside of our body. We're seeing increasing amount of advertising and marketing how to look better, but most who spend a fortune on looking better still eat crap! What a waste of money. I think we are all very fortunate to have discovered that cleaning out ourselves give us a radiance that no amount of cosmetics can buy.

You've made a wonderful decision and you'll see for yourself eventually how much good you'll get out of it

Enjoy the process and welcome.

Hi Catherine,

Welcome! You are going to love this program. It's structured in such a way, that as you move through each level of cleansing new insights that you never imagined will start unfolding for you.

This is a wonderful journey and along with Janaka, I'm happy that you have the opportunity to start at such a wonderful time of your life....

Love and Light,

Stephen_C

Welcome Catherine!

It sounds like you and my daughter, Ramona, have a few things in common. She is 27 yrs old, and has also suffered with gastro intestinal problems for the past 7 yrs. We are so blessed to have found the help we needed, here.

Between Chris at the beach, and you in the Swiss Alps, I can't decide where I'd rather be! I only know that internal cleansing, wherever it's done, is a solution that is going to radically change our lives. (I'm next). I just wish we had known long ago what we know now.

But now we look forward to seeing the past mistakes washed away, with a chance at a whole new life of eating the right things!
It's remarkable to be able to start over again like this, isn't it? I'm amazed at the body's ability to heal itself, to recreate new cells, and function correctly again.

Wishing you a very happy season of new discoveries and a new lease on life!

God Bless,

Rilene (Ramona's mom) &

Enjoy!

Welcome to our community, a cyber retreat as Maz likes to call us. I second that... the formal cleansing is important, but what goes on afterwards is even more important... the post-cleansing is where the transformations take place.

I am confident Catherine (or should i call you Katy) that all will go well... you shall find relief and change, growth and expansion not only with better health, but on a few dimensions- emotionally, mentally and spiritually too... at your pace, at your convenience.

Enjoy your cleansing here, and be active in the group... that is the biggest part of this cleansing, the loving kindness in action... that brings about true changes in the mind, which reflect themselves naturally in the body.

Peace

[Catherine_H]

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. I am really looking forward to starting this journey. Although admittedly I am completely overawed with all the information and processes at the moment. I am sure all this will be clear soon.

I have been visiting some posts from other cleansers to get my "bearings". I am in awe of the dramatic changes to peoples lives that everyone is talking about and has a testimonial of. I really am excited to get started and to be as positive as you all are in this journey to a healthy body. I cant wait to get the books that were recommended by Jos-hua (I am a self-confessed book worm) and start reading them.

I look forward to chatting with you all and will definately drop in on your threads!

take care
Katy (thanks Jos-hua, its only when I am in trouble that I get called Catherine ;O)

[Janaka_P]

Katy, glad to hear you are a book worm - that desire will definitely be exercised with this program!

[Judy_I]

Catherine

Welcome to HPS! You'll learn a lot about your body and self throughout your cleansing! And you'll gain some extra energy to do it too!
Remember to keep up your spirits as you improve from day to day!

Love,

[Anna_P]

Hi Katy - Welcome to HPS! As a relative newcomer myself, I'm amazed at how much this experience is changing my life even this soon. I'm just starting my pre-cleanse.

I'm confident that I will soon be off all my medications and becoming healthier and feeling better with each new day.

And I'm sure the same will be true for you. I'll be watching your progress with interest.

All my best,
Anna P

[Jessie_C]

Welcome Katy!

Boy do I identify with spending a lot of money on the outside and wanting to start looking at the inside!

I've only been here for a few weeks, and I just started by pre-cleanse today. I can already see changes in my awareness of what I eat, products I use on my body, and many other things.

There is a ton of information, but it sounds like you're ready to absorb it all. Have fun!

Cheers,
Jessie

[Ramona_W]

Welcome Katy,

It sounds like you are all ready to experience the full benefits of this amazing program - especially since you enjoy reading! In fact you are probably spending a lot of time right now absorbing all the materials so well prepared. They keep coming at just the right times, too! Hope some of the comments we make on our sites are helpful.

So far on Ramona's Formal Cleanse this week, everything has gone very, very well. We were concerned before starting, but she's doing so well, we're far more confident now. She had experienced so much pain for the years leading up to this, that we wondered if she could handle any more. Now she says she's finding true relief! What a blessing!

We expect great things for you! Hope to see you on the calendar soon!

TAke care and catch ya later, love and God bless,
Maz

Congratulations Catherine on your decision to take charge of your health! I'm a newcomer as well to HPS, and interestly enough, I stumbled across the site while doing similar research myself last month.
I've done some cleansing in the past. So first, I can tell you that you are now on the right path. Even though I've done some of this before, never did I imagine that I would find this type of education, support, guidance, direction, etc. all in one place...
See you on the forum.

[Belinda_G]

Hi Katy,

I have just been reading through your post - so glad to greet you here, its taken me a while to get here.

I am looking forward to doing this healing work with you...don't you just feel it is the right place, right time?

love Belinda

[Catherine_H]

Thanks everyone old and new!
I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment ...I am trying to fix a date for my formal cleanse but I am leaving for Kenya next week. I have to take Larium (for malaria) for 8 weeks and wanted to know if it is better to wait till after the 8 weeks are over and start the cleanse drug free or to go ahead with the cleanse when I return from Kenya?? Any information would be most welcome!!

Thanks alot!

[Jos-hua Medicine man]

Hi Catherine,

Oh, those malaria drugs are true poison, very very hard on the liver... so sorry that you decided to go that path... well, what to do, done is done.

Yes, it would better to finish your drugs first and then to start the formal, or rather then to go into serious pre-cleanse and then the formal.

Have a nice trip... and enjoy.

Peace,

[Belinda_G]

Hi Katy,

So take care and have a wonderful time in Kenya.

Sounds like you'll be doing the cleanse a little later than planned.

It will all work out, lots of learning on the way to the starting blocks I have found! Which is wonderful and perfect as well.

love Belinda

[Kevin_S]

Hi Catherine,

I wish you also a great trip to Kenya. Not to worry about your decision to wait on your cleanse until your return - it makes good sense to wait. Plus, you can enjoy all of the culinary treasures will there (almost all) without the guilt - knowing that you'll be cleansing after :-)

[Ramona_W]

Katy,

We look forward to your return, and to your cleanse! When you get back, we'll all be here for you, to cheer you on!

Blessings,
Rilene (mom) &

[Maz_S]

Hi Katy--just stopping by to say hi and let you know we are thinking of you--trust that your trip is just fantastic!!

We are looking forward to your cleanse and know it will be the starting of great things for you and your health.

Take care, love and God bless,
Maz
