This is the second posting of my intro. I finished Level 1 in October 2002.
Hello fellow cleansers!
It took me some time to get here but I am glad I finally made it! This is an understatement because searching for some of the recommended reading material among my books, I noticed that I bought and read Daniel Reid’s book in 1993.
My wife and I have two boys (age 5 and 8) and are living in Japan where I work in international relations. My work is all about handling government and business relations and event management.
I love working with people in an international context and trying to solve complex situations. Downside to that job is that family and free time are limited. It also involves a lot of business luncheons and receptions. Giving the organs a 7 day break makes a lot of sense to me!
My wife and I have some experience with “fasts”. Many years ago we both did a 10 day-only-brown-rice diet. We keep away from drugs (medication) as much as possible as well as fast food and soft drinks without going fanatic about food issues.
Before this I had a far less exciting job that recently got a lot of bad press. I was an auditor. Downside to that job, I never had time to finish explaining what I was doing before the other person was sound asleep! But the plus side to it was, that it gave me a lot of free time to practice martial arts.
I started practicing martial arts 20 years ago. At that time I was overweight and suffered from asthma. I was a pipe and cigar smoker and anything more physical than lifting up a glass of beer or a book was beyond me. Whenever the season changed I caught a cold.
I had read that breathing techniques were an important element in martial arts. I can’t say that this solved all my health issues but my health and quality of life definitely improved.
I am sure that the cleansing program will be another big step (or a staircase perhaps) for myself and for my family. Not only physically but also in a more spiritual way. Taking less and giving more. .
August 2001 I had an ACL-replacement (knee)operation. Because of a heavy workload in Tokio and Osaka there was not enough time for serious rehab. As a result of this I gained 15kgs/33 lbs. From January 2002, I could start my rehabilitation program seriously. I lost my extra weight by reducing my input (no meals in the evening) and increasing my output (3 training sessions /week). Last week I could get back to the dojo again. That felt really good!
I am ready for my first cleanse. Thanks to you all for your testimonials! Excellent service by the recommended vendors even in far away Japan. Thanks Joshua!
