Dragon does physical healing just not its main goal
Paragon works in Q also if you wanted to attempt it since healing is mostly a long term thing anyway.I ordered a Q with paragon recently that will test out whenever it comes

Too late now, esteemed Archivist. I ordered my first ever custom little over 3 hours ago. But I have a good feeling about it. Not to mention we didn’t have Hero modules at the time that recommendation was made I think.
Good to learn about the Ultima in Q. Thank you!
All-Seeing is an interesting module in a healing sub.

That ones more specific to raphael for healing the 5 senses.
Yeah no hero modules at the time that was posted.More to show paragon can be put in a q.I just built something similar with arms/torso/legs and muscular system.Didnt wanna go overboard with the hero modules in case of tiredness or slowing down results

I’m curious if Dragon Reborn could ever get HERO-ified. At least, the physical healing part of it. (Same goes with PCU, since it was technically not build with completed hero tech).

How about measuring the ketone bodies.
There are strips in many pharmacies used to calculate ketones in your body by peeing on strips (pee).
The darker the color the more ketones.

In the immortal words of @Malkuth:
@Meng123 is now a Junior Archivist.
Urine and breath analyzers are not the most reliable. They get much less so during a fast because the body adapts to the ketosis. That’s why keto-breath (breath smells like acetone) usually goes away after a while.
I ordered a blood tester. It comes with 10 test strips. I think I’ll do 5 tests on Sunday through Thursday, then another 5 on the Saturdays after. That should show the switch into full ketosis.

This exactly why we need a separate Hero title (and why I think Subclub is working on it)
EF ST1, DR ST2 and Paragon gave me physical healing for small to medium scale issues. Hero could extend healing AND physical shifting on a massive scale.
Fame is too mainstream, may those words live in infamy.
I hope that statement doesn’t bomb.
I’m sure we have subs that help with your impulse control problem. 
I love that picture. Makes me wish there were Steampunk cosplay gatherings nearby and I could immerse myself in a different world for a bit. Never done it, but I think I would love a mature version of LARPing.
Technically you don’t move at all during dimensional travel, spacetime alters its properties around you and you sort of blink or shift to your destination. We use the idea of travel for our consciousness to make sense of the experience. But in the end it’s a training wheel. Once you let it go, you can get to places a lot faster.
Personally I’d feel more concerned with the fact that the bike is standing on a very small raised metal platform. Like with a lot of alchemy, one wrong move and BOOM.
Now, on to my first journal post.

Fasting Journal: Day 0?
- Subliminals: None (Rest Day)
- Blood Pressure: 123/81 at a 71 HR. Common when I’ve been eating too much or bad foods, but about average for my age and sex. I expect it’ll go down significantly and hover around 90/50 during the fast.
- Weight: Yup, definitely still overweight. And with eating the remainder of my food I gained a bit as well. I trust that will be rectified by next week.
I call today Day 0 because I still have some fruit left over. I’ll juice it and stick to a liquid diet for today. Will also do a Salt Water Flush to kick-start the fast.
I have reluctantly taken the weekend off from subs. Even though I don’t feel a difference either way, Saint keeps telling me to trust he actually knows what he’s talking about. 
So I’ll start the stages 4 on Monday and add in the Hero custom when it arrives. It’s definitely more subs in a stack than recommended even while eating, so we’ll have to see what happens. Whether or not I’ll do Dreams Ultima at night I’m not sure of yet.
I rarely notice anything while running subs, so feel free to point out when my behavior or symptoms could be related to them.
I slept in late today, and expect I won’t fall asleep until late either, so tomorrow’s sleep reading might be off. It is usually quite clear to see when I’ve got sleep debt or an irregular schedule. Almost embarrassing to show you guys.
I’ll edit the post if more happens, but I expect today to be fairly uneventful.

That’s the pandemic and quarantine for ya. I’m planning an EF to cancel out quarantine weight.
Probably far more beneficial ways to spend $600 but ok
See my previous post
Potential consideration: Listen to subs only after you pass the natriuresis of fasting.
I did that last year. Unfortunately since it was a 30-second walk to work, fasting was so easy that I went on for too long. Which led to an electrolyte crisis which in turn caused me to panic-eat. This year I’ve taken precautions.
Hair transplant?
The what?
And just when you think you can sleep, the aliens show up.

Would you please comment more? My Ketonix seems like it’s not working and the replies I get from their customer service keep suggesting I need to do this-that-and-the-other to get the device working, rather than mentioning what you just said.
What’s your recipe?
Fasting Journal: Day 1
- Subliminals : None (Rest Day)
- Blood Pressure : 118/74 at a 72 HR. Looking better.
- Ketones: I tried, but either I have 0 ketones or something went wrong. At 2 bucks per test I’ll give it another shot tomorrow. Too bad, I am curious about the progression.
A bit of herbal tea to start off the day. Water after.
With the alien probing of the neighbors last night, I didn’t actually fall asleep until 4. And ended up staying almost 12 hours in bed. Like I predicted, I’m embarrassed to share.
The Muse only got the first bit because I woke up a few hours in and must have taken it off. Not that its battery can go for this long.
Surprisingly, the ring is so used by my erratic sleeping by now that it thinks I’m ready for anything:
And just to rub it in, it tells me my ideal sleeping time is around 02:40 which is based on a 3-week average I believe.
I did not like the rapid movement during one of the 3 part of my Pranayama. My arms are exhausted right now.
I miss eating. Normally the weekend is when I allow myself the guilty pleasure food while watching TV. I’m so used to it my body is asking me where the carbs are.
I don’t miss food though. I miss flavor, taste. Different explosions of taste on my palate.
My body doesn’t seem to care that there’s no food. Yet. Although I do have a slight headache.
Tomorrow begins Dragon & Alchemist Stage 4. Both containing the entirety of the previous stages. That’s gonna be a fun ride. Let’s find out if the last 6 months have done enough.
On to the comments:
From most accounts the human body becomes more efficient in processing ketones if it is consistently doing it. So there’s less and less ketones that get “leaked” from the body in the process.
While fasting, the ketone levels in urine and breath are pretty high in the beginning, but they usually go down as the fast progresses and the body optimizes itself to the new conditions. Making breath and urine analysis less effective as the ketones stay inside the body.
I can only guess that people who consistently live on a keto-diet or IF lifestyle will have gotten to the point where only blood-measurements are still effective.
There’s recipes? It’s lukewarm water and “healthy” salt. The variables are the temperature and volume of the water, the amount of salt and the time spent drinking.
The water should be a little over body temperature. I find the most common instructions of 1 quart/liter with a full tablespoon of salt drunk within 5 minutes to work well enough.
I’ve always used pink salt, which works quite well and tends to work even when the measurements are a bit off. Its taste is stronger though, making it harder to keep in.
Recently I’ve been using Celtic Sea salt, which has a far more neutral taste but is harder to get in the right proportions. Also seems to take a bit longer to kickstart the process.
When I get it wrong or if my body really wants the water or minerals the water disappears miraculously. Which is when I stay away from salty things for a bit.
I often do a flush on Saturday, an hour or so after drinking in the morning and a few hours before weighing myself. Since I usually fast on Fridays it makes my body all clean and shiny for the aforementioned guilty pleasure food.
Now on the fast I figured I would do one at the start of the fast. I’m not a fan of doing them during a fast since a SWF is like raw adrenaline for the intestines. Not something you want during a fast. I personally think the Master Cleanse has way too many of them.
Thanks! Is this what is meant by “fat adapted”?
Thank you for the salt flush recipe too!
What’s that?
Fasting Journal: Day 2
- Subliminals: Paragon Complete (2x), Dragon St4 (2x), Alchemist St4 (2x)
- Blood Pressure: 104/71 at a 67 HR
- Ketones: 0.2 mmol/L (anything below 0.6 is not considered ketosis but “normal” and above 1.6-2.0 it is important to also measure glucose which should be going down in a healthy person)
I guess yesterday’s error must have been so low there were no ketones in my blood at all?
The challenge with sleeping in is that I have so much to do that I end up going late again. Not that it would have mattered much, since I wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep anyway. Last time I tried I was l was lying awake in bed for 4 hours.
The ring pulls no punches. The Muse is a different story. It didn’t record everything and the part it did record tells me I barely slept. It may explain why I felt so groggy waking up this morning, but it’s still odd.
It is something to study, since supposedly during fasting the amount of healing deep delta sleep increases but REM sleep decreases. Does that mean less dreams and difficulty learning?
Since the ring doesn’t show absolute temperature I may start taking body temperature measurements myself upon waking. It does show another decrease in temperature and I’m definitely feeling colder today.
Oura sent an email saying that people with COVID should tag their data so Oura can study it. Getting sick affects temperature and heart, so the ring notices when you’re getting sick, usually before the wearer does.
I used the vibration plate in the morning for 10 minutes doing bicep curls while standing on it with bent knees. Took about 5 hours for my legs to get less shaky.
Also did 45 minutes of yin yoga, which reminded me how much I despise it. The reason they call asana yoga self-teaching is because it points out every single shortcoming you have. From endurance to muscular strength to lack of flexibility to being too flexible for your oversized midsection.
I’ve had a dull headache most of the day, barely noticeable in the morning but more so late evening. I drank about 2L/70oz of water spread throughout the day.
Spent the morning missing my latte. Also potato chips which I haven’t had in months. And in the evening pizza.
Now to give it my best shot to go to bed earlier. The sooner the days pass, the sooner I get that Hero custom…
Now the fan mail:
That’s what the keto-groupies call it. The big benefit is that at that point the body has switched to ketosis to such a degree that if you take carbs it’ll be harder to process and the body will “bounce” back to ketosis faster afterwards.
It leaves me with some questions:
- If people on the keto-diet go into this state after about 4 weeks of strictly following the keto-diet, how long would it take in a water-fast? I know the switch can be felt around 3-4 days, but does the faster already reach that state then?
- What about 16:8, 20:4 or OMAD people? Can they eat carbs and still reach this state? The supporters talk a lot about ketosis, so they would seem to think so. I don’t think I’ll be able to give up on carbs completely unless my next girlfriend is a keto-cook.
After paragraphs of talking about a Salt Water Flush, I felt a need to abbreviate it. My posts are long enough as is.
