Your welcome Ole. I understand you enthusiasm very well. Imagine, you are only beginning your journey. Think about how your going to feel 3 - 4 months from now.

It will be interesting for you guys to document what symptoms started disappearing and when. I remember something that happened for me was the strengthening of my finger nails. I play basketball a lot and my fingernails would chip, crack, and break constantly. Everytime I played this would happen. It got to the point that I made it a part of my preparations to trim my nails each time before I played. About 2 months after I started squatting my nails became stronger and stronger. Now my nails will not break, crack, or chip. Last time I had an injury was when someone threw me the ball and it pushed my thumb nail upwards away from the seat. Blood started seeping out between the nail and the seat but the nail didn't break. It hurt like crazy but was a testament that I won't be seeing too many broken nails anymore. I can see that the nails are thicker and when I push on them they don't flex as much.

My nails are strong as hell! They usually have been though! I drink beer but take alot of minerals and eat apples, Spirulina and Molasses, so maybe the minerals do that for me too? The squatting has made me alot better though, in a matter of weeks? I don't sit ever now, even when I do a regular squat I get alot out, not the full squat for a regular squat.

Apples make you go alot more though I learned, cleansing the colon and toxins? Maybe they do just that and help out even more with this. I don't sit anymore though at all, under any circumstances.


In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
