Get Free Of Brain Fog

Preface

I have helped thousands of sick people out of brain fog and exhaustion since 2016 by using the same method that made me healthy.

It all started with an article about ‘Exhaustion’ that was shared online by tens of thousands of people. I understood that sufferers wanted to know more about how I got better.

I also wanted to see for myself if more people than I could really recover completely from exhaustion syndrome, which is why an action programme was created. It quickly became apparent that the knowledge transfer worked, and a year later the sick asked to receive the first course as a book.

We have had conversations within my fatigue school about how the book should be designed. A very large majority asked me to write it as a simple instruction manual:

Now you do this!

I’ve had brain fog myself, and I understand the point. But as a writer, it invites me against writing for people on the nose what to do. It had to be a compromise.

The first part is written as an instruction manual, you should use it until you are rid of all brain fog. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to months.

Once you have regained full reading ability, you can take on the second part, where you get the theory behind it.

What helped? Why does it help? How did you get out of the brain mist?

My Fatigue School Course 2, about sleep disorders, is included in this book and there is nothing to prevent you from not using both when you can read unhindered.

At the back of the book you will find a comprehensive table of contents.

Welcome to perhaps the most important journey of your life.

When do you lose your brain mist?

No one can say because it is completely individual. But you can study what experienced participants responded in the fall of 2016, having had then gone in the program a few months:

It is important to understand that the program is not a quick fix, and that there is none either. We have a lot to correct and we take one thing at a time. Those who should not use this method are pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Also, those who eat medications that affect stomach juices, who take blood thinners or antihistamines, those who have gallstones and those who are due to have surgery soon should first talk to their doctor. More information about these groups can be found later in the book.

Incidentally, the method is harmless, but we are often life-sensitive, so always start with a little and increase slowly. Whatever it is, which you bring in and that’s new, let’s have some.

One big thing every other day

It is an important rule. Just do one big thing every other day when you have brain fog. If not, you’re likely to have setbacks.

Once every 10 days, stir together in a saucepan for turmeric paste:

½ dl turmeric

1 – 1 ½ dl water

1/3 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon coconut oil

It should simmer thoroughly, for about eight minutes, until you have a smooth paste. It lasts about two weeks in the refrigerator in a sealed glass jar. You can make larger batches and freeze a teaspoon in each compartment in regular ice cube boxes.

Once a day

Take 1 teaspoon of turmeric paste. Finger heat 3 dl coconut milk - dilute with water/oat or almond milk in the beginning because coconut milk is powerful. We use Garant, Santa Marias or King Markatta’s coconut milk. Let 1 teaspoon turmeric paste heat in a saucepan together with milk and spices on low heat, stirring until the drink starts to smoke. Vary every other day between ½ teaspoon support cardamom kernels or genuine Ceylon cinnamon. Also add: ½ teaspoon liquid vanilla extract, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a pinch of black pepper. Remove the saucepan from the plate and stir for a while before adding at least ½ - 1 teaspoon of genuine honey when everything has cooled down. Honey is destroyed above +37oC.

The honey sold in stores is most often just sugary water. It is important that you get real honey. Sweeten more to your taste, and drink. Every day! If you tend to forget, put a note on the fridge:

THE GOLDEN MILK !

Gold milk should ideally be drunk in the evening, half an hour before you go to sleep. But try it out and find if it suits you. Some feel that it makes them alert; they should then drink it in the morning. We’re all different. Moreover, if you don’t like the coconut milk flavor, you can choose King Markattas; it tastes the least coconut, and you can add in some blueberries.

If you feel that the drink becomes too mastic with only coconut milk, you can dilute it with water or almond or oat milk, but try to increase the proportion of coconut milk as you go along; it is a very important ingredient for getting rid of the brain fog.

Feel good about the golden milk

If you feel sick, have a headache or feel discomfort, you should immediately back off and stop using the potent golden milk for a couple of days. Start again gently with 10% of the dose and increase slowly.

You should never torment yourself and you should always listen to your body. Always! It is also important that the dosage is increased carefully. So that we can focus on never removing anything or going back, instead we just gradually add.

If you are seriously ill, as sometimes we are, changing habits too much and too quickly will make a huge transition for your body.

Once you have gotten into the routine of drinking golden milk then when you can cope, you should start drinking freshly squeezed half-a-lemon in warm water every morning. Lemon is basing and counteracts acidification in the body. You can squeeze many, and pour in ice cube moulds and freeze them.

You can buy eco-citrons, when you find them at a reasonable price, and freeze them. Lemons benefit from being frozen.

Ph value is in disarray

It corrects later on when you have been drinking what you are going to for a while and get the system in order.

What we are doing now in the first step is that we are knocking down an unpleasant symptom of brain fog. Everything becomes infinitely easier as you can think and remember again. Drink the school’s now-mentioned drinks daily until you’re reasonably clear in your head.

When you’re used to making turmeric paste and have been drinking Golden Milk for a while, add fresh ginger. Then you take another important step to knock down inflammations in the hippocampus, for example.

Ginger is in many ways more potent than turmeric and pepper, and together they are unbeatable. If you get your hands on fresh ginger, preferably from Peru and not from China, just run it in a blender with a little water.

Ginger should be ideally used during the day. Some people drink Golden Milk in the evening and don’t mix any ginger in it at all because they love their Golden Milk as it is. Some people tear ginger into the Golden Milk. Some do a lot at once and freeze in ice barns. Some have ginger in food, some prefer it in tea. The easiest way to peel ginger is with a spoon, and then freeze them in plastic bags. Then you can tear down what you need, and put back in freezer what you don’t use. The main thing is that you start with a lot of ginger. If you are pregnant, have blood disorders or are on medication, make sure to learn about restrictions around ginger.

To do

Ingredients:

200-300 grams fresh ginger

1 litre of water

½ dl honey

2 lemons, the juice

Curl and grate the ginger. You don’t have to scale it. Put the grated ginger in a saucepan, pour on the water, and heat, stirring. Strain the ginger away. After everything cools to room temperature, stir in the honey, mix in the juice of 2 lemons and pour the shot into a clean bottle. Store it in the refrigerator and it will last for several weeks. Shake the bottle before pouring your shot. 6-8 centilitres every day is enough.

For us, what I’ve asked you to do maybe too much. We can’t take it. Can’t think. Can’t take it! Then it is important to listen to those who have experience: www.utmattad.net

Do not exercise with brain fog

If you’re getting better, and it can be quick for some people, that doesn’t mean you’re healthy. This wasn’t the cure.

We’ve just fixed it up so you can think again. Take it easy. Rest! Don’t think you’re well yet. Just move as much as your body wants.

For us, exercising can be dangerous, and we often skin for absolutely nothing. We can’t possibly even go up a small staircase without breathing.

The environment thinks we don’t have fitness, and we want us to move. It has also waltzed around a false research report that says exercise is good for us. It’s just the other way around.

We can fall for no reason

I had an accident with a sister in my fatigue school who fell and broke her back, and I myself fell, broke my leg and suffered a fracture of the upper jaw that required nine surgeries. Scribble in a pool where it doesn’t matter if you fall. Sit on a chair by an open window and breathe deep. Get in bed and move.

If you feel stressed in the morning when you wake up, and often get tired between 14:00 and 16:00, you can use music.

Music in the bedroom

Binural beats on Spotify. It’s a new type of music that talks to the brain. There are many different playlists. Listen through and see which one suits you best. There are also CDs in the meta music trade. More on the music in the second part of this book.

You turn it on weakly in the bedroom and leave it on for eight hours while you sleep. If it feels unfamiliar, you can start with 15 minutes before falling asleep, and then turn it off. Many love this, others don’t. Test your way through. But take this method bloody seriously, it has helped many of us.

In the starting kit from Immun.se, you get lavender and rosemary oil. You can have a few drops of lavender oil on the pillow or a drop between your eyes when you are going to sleep. You can sniff the rosemary oil gently during the daytime.

Just like we’ve done, come back to this book when you’ve got your head back, as we usually put it, and I’ll explain everything in detail. Get the golden milk, ginger, lemon and try to get your broth in routine from now on.

Put the book down, now. Just use the first pages of the book, the others can be consulted now and then when the brain mist has dropped.
