After a very emotional meeting with the Butoh Dance Group de Storm in the beginning of July 2010 I went to the pub with the founder of this group John Giskes and my brother-in-law Taan.
Though I did not really drink more that I was used too, the next day I had quite a hangover. Normally my hangovers lasted about half a day but this one was different. I stayed 3 days in a sort of half-sleep vomiting, unable to eat, drinking some water but then immediately vomiting again and with a terrible headache.
The third day I slowly recovered but something had changed.
Before this event I used to drink about two liters of beer daily and smoke a minimum of five pipes of hash or skunk.
I could not drink and smoke anymore! Something was stopping me.
It was as if my body had taken over control and my will was taken over by some animal instinct. After three days without food I was hungry, but I could not bring myself to start eating right away. I only ate some fruits, thought I could do some sort of a detox and decided to stop eating cooked food.
Right after this I went on a short family holiday with Lucienne and Gabriel, her son. A perfect time to experiment with diet.
I ended up with eating almost only raw food, no more coffee except in emergencies like having to do an 800 km drive.
