I have been looking forward to a fast for several months now ... actually, it was right after I finished the level 4 cleanse that I started looking for the date on my calendar for my next cleanse. When something is working, you just want to keep going with it!
I think back to when I first came to HPS -- November 2002 -- I drank a pot of coffee a day and a sixpack of diet soda a day (literally.) I don't have a spleen and as a result I was resigned to the "low resistance" that comes with it ... thus getting sick once a month -- and needing antibiodics to get rid of it. I was tired often, didn't sleep well at night. I ate a bottle of antacids (big heafty one) a month.
But worst of all, like most people, I thought that this was "normal"; I thought, without being consious of the thought, that I would be like the vast majority of people in this country and dependent on drugs to reduce my symptoms.
Anyhow, my life is completely different now ... thought I may still drink my wine and beer, though I still eat too much at times -- and not always in the best combinations -- overall, the picture is night and day.
I haven't been sick in nearly 3 years. I haven't taken ANY medications in nearly 3 years... and baring some unforseen calamity, I won't!
I am looking forward to this fast because it is like a reset button for me now -- asside from the benefits received from the actual cleanse. Doing a week of precleanse followed by a week of fasting retrains my body and my mind. It reminds me that I am in control of what goes into my body and it reduces any incidental cravings that I pick up with my less than perfect eating habits.
I feel great taking the time for myself to reaffirm that my health is top priority -- it is like on the airplane where they tell you to put on your mask before assisting someone else with theirs. If I haven't taken care of my body, it doesn't make a good instrument to serve others.
I am living in Texas now. Last year I sold my house, sold my company and started doing my passion (which I was doing parttime) fulltime. I highly recommend that you look inside yourself and see if you have your priorities right. Are you taking care of your health and are you finding ways to make this world the way you want it?
I find this program invaluable for making my health the way I want it... and that has given me increased energy and encouragement so that I can also pursue my dream -- if I can make that much difference in my body, I can do the same in the world!
** As can you! **
Love and light,
David
