1. The Crucial Essentials The Hunger Strike Ends NOT when you TRY to metabolize food, but when YOU ARE METABOLIZING food. I’m on day 50 (plus 11), NO LUCK YET. LEAVE TIME/STRENGTH IN YOUR BODY FOR THIS REENTRY. DEADLY, IF YOU DO NOT. If you MUST do this Hunger Strike, BY ALL MEANS! HOWEVER, ONLY TOTALLY COMMITTED HEARTS, not Head or Flesh, are equipped to undertake this successfully. This regimen of am/pm vitamins, am/pm EmergenC, 20 calorie bullion cube – SEEMS IDEAL FOR RELATIVE SAFE, HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL, LONG DURATION, HIGH IMPACT HUNGER STRIKE.

INFINITELY STRONGER – UNVIOLENCE - Paying One’s Own Life Oneself Out of Love’s Versus VIOLENCE - Attempting to Exact the Price from Others – Wage Love not War.

7. Maximum Safety and Duration Recommended Hunger Strike - SL’S Substance Intake Experience 60 calorie daily as a consequence of consuming the following Multi-vitamin – GNC Megavitamins 2 daily seemed ideal – am/pm (0 calories) Electrolytes – Emergence -1 packet ea. am/pm (20 calories ea.) 1 Bullion Cube (2 servings) for sodium levels and sanity – flavor (10 cal ea. serving) 0 calories Daily – Crystal Light or equiv for flavor/sanity/hydration WHEN VIRTUALLY ALL BODY FAT GONE - 70 calories fat daily to protect the brain Fat in the form - Teaspoon peanut butter, or small bit of cheese “Mouth Wash” – 0 cal – About 5 days, if you can be Honest – chewing & spitting food. MUST SCRUPULOUSLY SPIT OUT EVERY SINGLE DROP OF JUICE, EVERY TINY PARTICLE OF FOOD. For sanity.

8. Physical Effects you can Expect Assumes: YOUR sustained, intense, overwhelming heart-sickness with environmental genocide. ‘I CAN’T STAY ON THE SIDELINES WITH HALF MEASURES ANY MORE.’ Normal mobility but zero strenuous activity (eg sports). Walking exercise helps. .5 to .66lbs body fat for every day you plan to hunger strike No other physical conditions introducing added risk Complete willingness to stand alone, if necessary. Total unwillingness to violate others. Expect physically - 10-40% energy reduction per day, which you are likely to find amazingly slight, overall. Major fatigue and substantial nausea on and off in waves of multi-day duration throughout. Elevated risk of organ failure, mortality when body fat is gone or day 50 whichever comes first Major lower leg swelling (edema) from wk 3 or so on. Amazement at how effortlessly the body seems to switch, overall, to consuming body fat Expect psychologically - Shockingly good mental abilities including increased peace and focus With focus comes an increased sense of clarity and confidence Craving for chewing and flavor, but shockingly little craving to consume, till body fat gone

9. Things to Avoid Losing Focus on the Mission - Heart Losing Control – being Hijacked by Head / Flesh Changes in Routine Taking responsibility for ANYONE’S RESULTS / OUTCOMES, YOURS OR ANY0NE ELSE’S. ALL YOU CAN CONTROL IS IF YOU MAKE THE FULL ATTEMPT. ACCEPT THAT. CELEBRATE THAT. BEING ABOUT ‘YOU’ - WHEN IT’S ABOUT YOU, YOUR SUFFERING, YOUR SACRIFICE, YOUR NOBILITY, YOUR HUMANITY, YOUR HEALTH… IT’S NOT ABOUT STOPPING CLIMATE GENOCIDE. NO GOOD SOLDIER IS RECKLESS OR SUICIDAL.

10. Things to make certain of Keeping your Heart pitted against Carbon Genocide. Unviolent Action’s Heart Force, or it is Nothing, and Too Hard. Allow 10-20% of your Days/Strength for REENTRY. Expect ZERO of or from ANYONE but Yourself. “Full Effort is Full Success If you’re ready Spiritually, GREAT. Otherwise, wait, prepare – don’t start ‘till you’re prepared.

11. It‘s a Dangerous, Difficult Reentry Tips Keep the vitamins and electrolytes going for weeks, at least. Make CERTAIN your Bowel is moving well – no kinks, no obstructions. Then… Food My body likes V8. Others report the same. I find Ensure an easy to digest, pleasant source of energy and calories, as a supplement. Baby Food, well-cooked veggie soups, or equivalent for 10-20% of the days you’ve been striking 2 easy , bad choices, 1 hard one. (AFTER your bowel is passing stuff regularly) - 1. STAY WITH BLAND STUFF, AND FLUIDS A LONG TIME - Protect yourself from nasty bowels – and endure Continued Hunger or 2. EAT WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT Protect yourself from constant Hungers – And endure Nasty Bowel. I chose to EAT, what I want, pretty much, and pay the Bowel price. 3. IF YOU EAT A MODEST, BLAND DAY’S FOOD, WAIT, EVEN DAYS, TILL IT COMES OUT, BEFORE TAKING MUCH MORE IN THE WAY OF SOLIDS - A BALANCE IF YOU CAN FIND IT – YOU, you can TRY TO KEEP YOUR STOMACH AND BOWEL IN SYNCH – BY TAKING MANUAL CONTROL OF THE SYNCHRONIZATION. They can’t do it, maybe for weeks they can’t. Stomach says ‘FEED ME!!!.’ BOWEL SAYS – ‘BE PATIENTTTTTTT WITH ME!!!’ THEY CAN’T HEAR ONE ANOTHER!!! YOU HAVE TO TRY.

12. Physiology of Hunger Strike Excellent Wiki Articles http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2011/06/from-wiki-health-effects-of-hunger.html http://medic.wikia.com/wiki/Hunger_strike http://diarrhea.emedtv.com/diarrhea/diarrhea-diet.html SL’s Experience – .5-.66lbs body fat consumed per day (est) When body fat runs low switches to muscle and brain. (Get ready to stop) AMAZING how much EASIER it seems for the body consume its own fat rather than external food Reentry to food takes 5x as long and 10x patience as you would want. See articles above.

13. The one thing Gandhi could not abide – COWARDICE, BY-STANDING Stand, NOW, and Fight the End of Civilization – Waves of Unviolent Hunger Strikes September 2011 beginning Ending when 2012 becomes about Killing Environmental Genocide thru Carbon Note: Violence, violating the rights (even as mistakenly believed by a ‘thing-oriented’ society) is the greatest possible friend of the status-quo. DON’T DO IT. PLEASE. PLEASE. You’ll guaranteed the victory of the carbon fuel folks You’ll guarantee the defeat of we Unviolent warriors

14. Final Thoughts - I’m about 10 days now attempting to consume food without explosive diarrhea. No luck yet. I’ve been MUCH too aggressive on kind, variety, quantity, frequency. No damage, but much yuck factor, and frustration. Small quantities; WAIT FOR IT TO EXIT / DON’T SERIALLY STUFF; STAY CLOSE TO STUFF A BABY COULD EAT, FOR WEEKS. STAY PRETTY MUCH AWAY FROM WHAT YOU WOULD NOT FEED A BABY. BE GENTLE ON YOUR BODY. IT’S BEEN TRAUMATIZED. YOU’LL WANT A HUGE AMOUNT OF SLEEP / REST. GET IT, IF YOU CAN. LOTS. Before, I’ve been able to get it. Eat, rest, eat, rest… Now, on the streets of DC, I can’t. I’m surviving. When in doubt, use Depends for at least a little protection until you stabilize your bowel.
