Good morning good folks.
i'm up in the wee small hours of the morning, like Jasper Carrot guarding his lawn watching out for moles.

However, unlike Jasper armed with a shotgun (or was it dynamite and a plunger, i forget?), i am armed with a spray bottle of MMS guarding my legs from scabies mites.
i wrote a few days ago (here) about how i was fasting, and was asked the question (here) "do you have any disease? For example, diabetes." by @mehmetfix
The answer brother Mehmet is that i have scabies! That's the only evident physical disease. i'm not sure if fasting will help with that, probably not. But, to avoid them spreading to the other two people in the house i could see only two options, leave and drive the 2800 kms home to Bulgaria about 2 months earlier than i intended, or stay in the bedroom i'm in nearly all the time until fleas are gone.
But also i still have some emotional dis-ease (un-integrated emorions/ kinks of consciousness). To avoid (suppress) the uncomfortable feelings which arise from those, i have a tendency to over-eat and smoke. The fasting will create space in the being, as i'll no longer be stuffing down those feelings by eating and smoking, so those feeling will arise to the surface giving me again the opportunity to receive the gift they offer. To receive the gift i need to fully and unconditionally feel them, without suppressing as usual, just do nothing and feel, until they pass. Ideally this will work best if, as well as fasting, i retreat completely, be silent, don't read, stay off phone, offline (which are also distractions), and meditate a lot. i may do that. i hope i have the courage to do so. Let's see.
However, after 48 hours of fasting and urine therapy i felt too sick and weak and lacked the energy to do the many other more focused holistic therapies needed to deal with the scabies, so i stopped fasting, for now anyway.
Actually at the time i thought i had fleas but a pharmacist diagnosed scabies from the symptoms described to him by a friend who went to ask for a salve made of petroleum jelly, sulphur powder and another ingredient (aloe vera i think) which she had used successfully some years ago for the same issue. The pharmacist however offered a small tube of Permethrin instead (for a princely sum of £13.50)
Image of the tube of #Permethrin, book i was reading at the time from the excellent Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, and the delicious bowl of healing soup i made to break my fast.
Anyway, back to the story. When my friend returned i checked the leaflet inside the box which said side effects were itching. That's all!
Not trusting a non-holistic pharmacist (or doctor) as far as i could throw them, i did some research and came up with the following.
... bedbugs were constantly exposed to what we had left: permethrin. So they became resistant, ...

so why use it? Yet more concerning:
Though permethrin was approved by the EPA as “safe and effective” back in 1982, it has since been revealed that the agency knew even back then that permethrin would cause cancer in as much as 10 percent of the total human population – and approved it anyway.

Attempted to return to pharmacy for refund but refused due to company policy, but i think maybe something useful and non toxic of equal price perhaps fell if a shelf into my pocket, or maybe i'm mistaken! On way out i asked if they had many shoplifters (just to let them know!).
Anyway, through the use of many natural substances and therapies (as listed in the afore-mentioned post here), and my nightshift watch, i'm fairly confident that i caught it early enough and i'm gonna beat the bugs. i hope so as it can be excruciatingly painful, both physically and emotionally (i got a glimpse of that on day 2 when i felt quite hopeless - hence the trip to the pharmacy which i would never normally consider). i'm very thankful i had some #BentoniteClay in my medicine kit (thanks to advice given by #JimHumble when i did an #MMS training way back in 2012) which relieves the pain and itching.
i'll write more soon, but now i'm back on watch (feel) duty, while reading another excellent book.
Am i a rogue?

@ecency, #feature request and #bugreport: Despite saving draft many times while composing, app (android v 3.0.35) i still lost quite a lot of text as app keeps minimising for no reason (just happened again, having to retype this sentence) saving every few words). Auto-save for comments and posts with user defined time interval could save much frustration, even when (what i think is a) bug (not noticed it happening with any other apps) is fixed.
