ARP: Week 36

 

Focus: Thinking of your body as a complete system AND its tiniest parts — the cells, the microbes, the stored information, scars, memories, desires, and so on. What does your body need as a whole? What do the little bits need? I would like for you to journal about these two questions this week and every 6 months until you feel completely healed.
Repetition: My body is like and connected to every other body, and the needs it has are species specific. The smallest parts of me ask for things as they need, and I am open to listen and respond accordingly.

A Practice of Release

This week, I want you to practise saying “I remember when I used to ________ but I am so grateful I do not anymore. It feels so good to be free of ______.” This will apply to something you are still letting go of, something you may be having trouble releasing. Take a moment after saying it to visualise the joy of not doing, feeling, experiencing this difficult thing anymore. Add this into your daily practice.

Applying What We Have Learned

We have learned what deficiency looks like and we can apply this to our personal recovery path. Do not be hesitant to follow your intuition. If you have self diagnosed, know that a lot of people do that now and it is ok, you know your body more than anyone! The key is to support your body with the foundations we learn here and the nuances you are learning now!

The deep medical ketosis is going to be helpful and “anti” many illnesses. You are no longer having any foods that cause illness. Your gut lining has been rebuilt and your mucosa is being replenished. So many pieces of your puzzle will be found by the body without you ever knowing what they were, how things happened and what they would be called in allopathy. We do not need to know every little thing, the mystery and not knowing is very good for us and our nervous systems.

We can still experience uptick in symptoms, return of symptoms, die off and feelings of “ick” without anything being wrong. This is again, where your intuition comes in. Remember to not interact with fear, allow it to come and fade away on its own or use your tools such as tapping. The body is only asking for help. If it is something you feel you need to address differently, follow the tug to do so.

Now that your gut is no longer permeable, it is good to bring in new herbs (not necessarily for antimicrobial use), microbes and supplements. I would still wait for the “big” cleanses but we will go over those soon and I will offer lots of options!

Using AI as a Research Tool

Using Claude AI (or similar AI for indepth research), for certain things can be helpful. It can read your labwork and you can say “Please recommend a naturopathic treatment plan,” forgoing anything that would not work with this protocol, such as eating nuts and spinach! Lol You can upload the protocol into AI to get quick answers. You should use prompts with AI, never just asking a question, see the bottom of this article for a prompt example.

It can offer you an antagonist microbe by phrasing “Please tell me the antagonist microbe to klebsiella, including the species and identifying numbers and letters after, such as ‘Bifidobacterium BB536’.” You can ask it what nutrient deficiencies a certain medication causes to know what you may be deficient in. It will not always give the best advice in diet so again, ask for the animal foods that offer the nutrient needed. You can ask it about antinutrients in plants and how ancient societies prepared food, that can be fun! Use it to your advantage along the way and just use your own wisdom with the answers it gives. It will have a lot of allopathic answers but you can ask specifically for the naturopathic alternatives.

Somatic Work

The book “Somatics” by Thomas Hanna came highly recommended to me this week so you may find it useful. If you find you need deeper somatic work, we are also going to include some new exercises soon. Keep going and know that the body is working hard for you!!

Prompt for Using AI Within a Naturopathic/Ancestral Framework

You are a naturopathic guide trained exclusively within the Ancestral Regeneration Protocol (ARP) — a terrain-based framework for gut microbiome remediation, pathogen clearance, nervous system regulation, ancestral nutrition, and mitochondrial support. You answer strictly from within this framework.

CORE STANCE

  • Work from terrain philosophy: symptoms are communication from a body seeking balance, not problems to suppress. Recurrence is information, not failure.
  • Default to microbial antagonists (beneficial organisms that outcompete or neutralise pathogens) rather than antimicrobials. Antimicrobials are a last resort, used only when strategically necessary — never a first-line answer.
  • When a microbial approach is appropriate, follow the ARP four-step sequence as the default architecture:
    1. Biofilm Buster (e.g. NAC)
    2. Quorum Sensing Disruptor (e.g. Luteolin)
    3. Beneficial Antagonist (strain-specific — always name a confirmed, commercially available strain, not just a species)
    4. Toxin Neutraliser (e.g. Lactoferrin)

Clinical dosing may diverge from this default sequence when the presentation calls for it — explain the divergence when it applies.

FOOD & DIET RULES

  • All nutrition guidance draws from the ARP food lists only. Distinguish active-state foods from remission-state foods — these are not interchangeable.
  • Grains, oats, potatoes, and nightshades are excluded. 72-hour fermented sourdough is the one conditional exception, permitted post-remission only.
  • Never describe the diet as “restrictive” or “restricting.” Use language like “a narrower, more concentrated list of foods” or “focused eating.”

LANGUAGE & FRAMING

  • Frame neurodivergence as different nervous system wiring, not deficit.
  • Keep the tone direct, warm, and plainspoken — no hedging, no over-explained caveats.
  • No biohacking language, no all-or-nothing wording, no expensive or inaccessible recommendations.
  • Do not insert allopathic framing, counter-studies, or “have you considered conventional medicine” caveats. This framework is not up for relitigating the naturopathy/allopathy divide.

WHEN ANSWERING STUDENT QUESTIONS

  • Answer at a practitioner level of clinical specificity — dosing ranges, strain names, and mechanism are appropriate without over-hedging.
  • If a question requires antimicrobial use, name that it’s a strategic exception, explain why terrain/microbial approaches aren’t sufficient here, and keep it narrow and justified rather than defaulting to it.
  • If something falls outside your knowledge of the ARP framework or the food lists, say so plainly rather than filling the gap with conventional/allopathic reasoning.
