To provide an update since my last post, even if my DMSI 3.3.x journal isn't really the right place for it, I've been on a sub break since late March.
Why did I stop MHS? Correlation, mostly. 3 weeks of sharing a bed with the flu in December, and I'd stayed healthy and unaffected for all 3 weeks, only to catch said flu within hours of starting MHS in January. Probably my own fault; when I focus, it's often to the exclusion of all else, and MHS isn't MIR.
Why stop MHS in March, then, if the flu didn't stop me in January? Wasn't interested in living out the Covid version of January.
How did my MHS run go? Well, first, I should probably repeat that, within the past year, health + environment restricted my options for listening according to MHS directions or my own instincts or even using my preferred audio format. Format aside, listening was closer to instructions and instincts than I'd expected.
Anyhow, it's halfway through the year, 3 months after I'd stopped MHS, and the target health issue's still an uncorrected mystery, but, speaking in a relative sense, my bodily intuition has skyrocketed. It turns out that, for several lifelong issues, I'd spent years looking for biochemical solutions to what now seem to have been biomechanical problems. Interconnected ones too. Not really what I was aiming to fix with MHS, but I'm not complaining.
Did MHS provide the wake-up call? If so, not obviously. If this is considered epigenetics or calibrating and tuning all of my physical parts and systems, maybe...? Really, the wake-up call was external, not internal, so, unless manifestation's an unadvertised part of MHS, it'd be precipitously close to fundamental attribution error for me to point fingers at MHS for that. The catalyst was one almost ignorable comment from my dentist, and, from there, the rest just snowballed.
Outside of the timing and degree of change, it's tricky to credit MHS with anything more specific than getting me out of my own way, as very few other observations lined up with the product description. But, in all fairness, I did stop letting my preconceptions and stubbornness blind me to (some) real problems and (apparently) effective solutions, and that's no small feat.
Healed scarring? Nope. Itching? No more/less than usual. Healed pain? A little, months after MHS, but via precise exercise, not by thinking the pain away. Healed damage? Difficult to tell. More hydrated skin quality? I'd be tempted to credit the collagen/increased water intake more. Genetic changes? Nothing obvious. Physical detoxification? Didn't notice any, but neither had I while running UD.
All in all, better health, but more by erasing certain amounts of ignorance, neglect, and pigheadedness, not by way of healing damage, and my target problem hasn't improved. Could be that I'd tuned myself to different parts of MHS than I'd hoped, could be that I had to cross one bridge before reaching the next, or, possibly, I'd just arrived where I am now by metaphorical bus, despite the plane ticket in my pocket. Lots of plausible explanations, and those are just a few.
Either way, I'm not knocking it. Been feeling better than I have in years. If MHS helped, great. If not, that's fine too. I'd never expected MHS to do the whole job for me, only to encourage me to heal myself and, ideally, to support my most pressing health issues. Not sure if it'd managed to do either, but I'm grateful toward anything that might've contributed to what did happen, MHS included.
At this point, after ~3 months off subs, resuming MHS is seeming the most likely plan, especially as my problem isn't resolved and as I'm still not home yet, but there's certainly a strong temptation to run OF (given recent reports of it) or to give DMSI 3.3.2 or SDM a spin (given where I am).
