Health Revealed 3


The best and only real way to live for optimal health is focus on what we eat and drink, not on water fasting alone.  Water fasting is a jump start into better eating and healthier living.  It isn’t the answer, it is just a clean-up tool and jump start into a much better and enjoyable lifestyle.

If you would rather enjoy the true taste of foods with their delicate tantalizing flavors, then you would also enjoy such things as true hunger  versus the toxic hunger our world’s SAD foods.  This hunger is more like being thirsty than like the discomforting growls, pains, headaches and weaknesses from our SAD’s toxic hunger.  You are definitely free when no longer addicted to the SAD foods.  You also don’t have the vengeful weight gains accustomed to our many popular low-nutrition diets out there, which only helps to reinstate the SAD foods.  To be a true Christian means to take knowledge directly from Jesus Christ, by listening to what he had said and to believe & follow him.

My father didn’t like doctors and never really trusted them.  I agree, but understand things differently.  A doctor’s education is complicated and more modernly designed for treatment of symptoms, knowing that cures aren’t really possible when our chronic diseases are diet related.  They admit that their patients won’t likely come off of their SAD foods.  By this, they are admitting that their patients are hooked on the Standard American Diet.  They prescribe pills for the symptoms that come from SAD foods and pills for the pills’ side effects, knowing all along from their training that all medicines are toxic.  Are they not poisoning us to cover-up these symptoms, however un-intentionally?  Doctors are given very little nutritional education during their training, according to Dr. Joel Fuhrman.  So, they may not even realize that there is a remedy & pathway for their patients to take to improve their health.

Having come off the fast for about a week now, my weight has stayed about 10 lbs. lighter than before.  I feel much better with a more normal blood pressure.  I have done some moderate exercises and worked several days at the farm this past week.  I also did some light weight lifting.

I don’t view this shorter water fast as a failure.  Modest improvements have been accomplished by my weight loss and improved blood pressure.  Small gains are what is required to improve yourself.  Dr. Joel Fuhrman put it in this way, that he would rather have people improve their quality of life in small ways rather than avoid his teachings altogether because of his idealistic optimal lifestyle.  He is realistic and knows that everyone is not going to join his band wagon for excellent health, but at least they could make small changes to get some benefits.  They will feel & live better, that in itself is great.

Water Fast Day 6


This was a rough day again.  My stomach has now become upset with some pounding or faster & louder than normal heart beats.  I had diarrhea at night.  I was considering to stop the fast.  I woke up around 4:00 A.M. on Day 7 with the same feelings.  The very successful 11 day water fast that I had about 10 months ago was uneventful and actually comfortable.  This one has shown a lot of problems.  Water fasting has nothing to do with will power.  This entire fast and my diet is about common sense and doing the right thing.  The troubles within this fast shows that I am not to trust going any further with it.  It is now considered perhaps dangerous and just wrong.  I should be feeling as comfortable as my successful one last year.  I am sure there has been some good done fasting this fime.  I will wait a long time before trying again.  My weight, strength and overall health will have to be dealt with the more old fashion way, with care and effort according to the knowledge that I have acquired through Dr. Joel Fuhrman and much reading and personal experiences.
