I've never had major health concerns that prompted me to consider thorough cleansing. I've never had issues with weight, addiction to any food or substances or chronic ailment that require drastic therapeutic measures. So I was an unlikely candidate for the 7DW programme (even though I've known about the programme for years because of friendship with Jos-hua).
It became apparent to me why I ended up doing the cleanse only after cleanse, (and quite apart from persuasion from Mike, my other half who happily did it with me, and from Jos-hua).
Going through the process is not just about ourselves, our own health, but also our beloved and, hopefully, eventually, everybody.
In the process of the seven day cleanse we learn a lot more than just how our innards have been festering over the years. It's about changing a lifetime of habits that has so thoroughly corrupt our bodies, everybody's body.
During and after the cleanse, I had two pieces of bad news. A cousin's 11-year-old daughter has to deal with a brain tumour, and a good friend's 4-yr-old daughter had to go through a liver transplant just a couple of years after battling hogkin's disease (lymph cancer). What caused children so young to suffer terminal diseases? Perhaps ultimately it may have something to do with the abuse we allow our children to inflict on themselves with what they put into their young bodies. (and karma too, of course!)
For so long we have allowed powerful fast food enterprises, food processing companies and pharmaceutical giants and their multi-gazillion marketing dollars to lead us and our children to early graves. I feel so powerless to fight back when my son shows such glee in the prospect of having a "treat" in a fast food joint. In letting him have his "treat", I'm aiding and abetting the "poisoning" of my children!
This has to stop. and immediately. This has become so clear to me after the cleanse, after seeing what lurks inside of us when we're not careful of what we put in.
I care about my children and my relatives' and friends' children. It's time for all of us to get back to the basics - feeding our next generations with the right food in the right combination, no longer subjecting them to the abuse we have had inflicted on ourselves because of our ignorance.
That's probably why "all the universes conspired" to make the cleanse happen for Mike and me. Our end of the bargain is to pass along the health message, at least making sure people we care about understand the basics of food combining. Step by little step.
I've already passed along the message to my cousin and my friend. I'll continue to pass along the message to those who will listen. And practice begins at home. I'll stop abusing my children with fast food. As soon as they become more grown, they'll be encouraged to experience the cleanse themselves. Step by little step.
There are more than four levels to the cleansing programme. It has become a life-long process for me. Once it begin, there's no going back, because you won't want to, unless you don't love yourself.
