My experience with YNBY

So I've completed the YNBY protocol not to many days ago, and I have to admit, I am definately feeling a significant difference in how I feel, especially the realization last night with my mood these days. Overall, I seem to be in better spirits than normal, and less quick to anger, if there is any reason to be angry about. I have been feeling alittle more sleepy these days, but I'm not entirely sure if that is due to the protocol or not. Could be something eles that's been of concern.

The experience while I was on the formula was interesting in and of itself. Very slow and uneventful, until after the fact. Everything from interesting dreams to down right crazy one's. of the most memorable was a dream near the end of the protocol that I'd had about something in my nose. In the dream I was waking up with an uncomfortable feeling in my nose. I was already suffering with spring time allergies of the wind cold type, when I woke I had felt that I needed to blow my nose real bad otherwise I would enter into one of my automatic fire option sneezing fits. So I desperately searched for a tissue but couldn't get out of bed due to the extreme sleepiness and the uber comfort of my tempur - pedic mattress. (for another time but the mattress makes it hard to get up early for class) So layed back down and I felt something hanging out of my nose. I proceeded to pull it out, with great pain, and when I had pulled most of it out it was some type of earring. Thin Gold twisted metal with dangles of purple gems. Yet, there seemed to be more in my nose attached to the earring. So I continued to pull and then out with the hook, came some long thick sticky globulous matter. The strange part was that as I was pulling it out of my nose it was pulling out with a severe burning sensation. I finally, reached the end of the stringy mass, and with an elated sense of relief a burst of cool air filled my sinuses and I could breath. The Burning sensation was still there but my sinuses were clear and I didn't need to sneeze. For the first time I had felt that perhaps the globular mass was the physical aspect of my allergies. If this is true or not I'm not sure, because when I finally awoke, I desperately needed to blow my nose and clear my sinuses.

I ran to the bathroom in the hopes that perhaps that same globular mass would show up, but alas, no. Something eles appeared out of the norm in my nasal discharge of allergy season. Yellow thicker than normal mucous. My normal discharge is of the clear and watery nature, but this was like I had a fever or flu or something. The type of yellow that most would associate with Bacterial infection, that kind of yellow. Then upon closer examination I discovered that it was granular. Now my first thought was 'OH F!@#!!!' something is living in my nose. Then I though what if this was my bodies way of accumulating all the pollen that my poor weakend sinuses had accumulated and finally in one fell swoop, decided to eject it all in a nice neat package. Could this truly have been the end of my allergies? Don't know, still had allergies for 1 more week before the rains had come, and the trees stopped pollenating. Yet, it is still nice to know that the possibility that my allergies can be eliminated.

Although, to some degree allergies are born into us, on the other hand I like to believe that allergies were triggered by something more than just some form of DNA encoding by our parents. From the limited exposure that I've had with western Medicine, I find that allergies are in some way shape or form, a body's reaction to an external action or invasion. It's just that for some the sensitivity levels of this response are greater than others. What if the degree of this sensitivity has a close relation with the sensitivity we have emotionally or cognitively with the world around us. Let's say in the case of how one deals with daily stress. Now i could be wrong on this point but, I've seen a trend with stress (with regards to certain constitutional types) and allergy sufferers. Now I'm not so sure as to why just yet, I do intend to research more on this subject, but there seems to be a direct correlation.

Hopefully some readers will be able to help with some insight to this matter.

Anyway, That's pretty much it on the YNBY tip, I do have more but I am beat, and I haven't been a good patient with the sleeping department, so I figure I be an atypical student and sleep relatively earlier than my norm.

It sure is nice to blog and rant again.
