Unlocking the Body's Natural Power
Health and the Healing Powers of Fasting
One of the most important topics and issues today is the health of society. I have talked to many people from all different walks of life and most think that we, as a society, have never been healthier. On the contrary, we have never been more sick.
If we look at the statistics of diseases, an average of 17 million new cases of cancer world-wide in 2018, cardiovascular disease claiming nearly 18 million lives on average every year, an estimated 463 million people in 2019 having diabetes with 4 million deaths worldwide in 2017, Alzheimer’s being the UK’s leading cause of death in 2019, and the list continues. I fully understand that the size of our population makes a difference to these statistics, however, it still quite clearly shows our society is far from healthy. The questions that society should ask; what on earth is the current medical system doing and is it their primary objective to help the sick or is just a business? We must ask these questions because the death rates are increasing, and they never seem to find a cure for these dis-eases. Do they even want to? Always “almost there.” From where I’m standing, it looks like they profit from sickness and I cannot see a multi trillion-dollar industry trying to put itself out of business and to add, nature has always had a plant remedy for every dis-ease in the body.
Taking Responsibility for Our own Health
We must face the truth and stop allowing this to continue. It’s obvious to see the current medical system is taking advantage of a very vulnerable society. Although, we shouldn’t put the whole blame on the medical system because ultimately our health is our own responsibility. We must stop wanting it both ways. Society has poor eating habits along with smoking cigarettes that have over 4,000 chemicals in them and the consumption of too much alcohol is not going to bring us good health. We should question why junk food, processed foods, cigarettes and alcohol are legal and when the damage is done, we expect to go to the doctor for the ‘magic’ pill. Haven’t we got to stop doing this to ourselves? Society is killing themselves and we need to take back our power by accepting responsibility, start learning about health in a new way or in fact the old ways, to stop relying so heavily on the government and the system we live in. We will never find health this way. We must take our health back into our own hands. I have addressed this issue bluntly because it is serious.
Eliminating Toxins
So, the first thing we need to do is to stop eating junk food and we must stop the processed foods. It’s not natural food and most of the nutrients are dead and the chemicals cause serious health conditions. These foods are mass produced and you would not even recognise the machinery that is used to process that food. Look at the food that does not go off. Do you think it’s healthy? Look at the additives, the calories, sodium and sugar content in these foods. You increase your chances of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other serious health problems. You can get this information anywhere on the internet. Even doctors are saying this in the current medical system because cancer and heart disease has sky rocketed.
Contaminated Water and Drinks
Your water supply is not clean either. I have a distiller and it is easily visible to see how unclean the water is coming out of the tap after just a few cycles. There are a lot of chemicals put into to our “drinking” water. I can assure you that it is making society sick. Clean water is so important to our health and is a basic human right. (I can recommend a link for a distiller at the end of this article.) What about the drinks they sell at the supermarkets? Fizzy and energy drinks contain so much sugar and the food there are full of chemicals as well as the soft drinks. This is making society unhealthy and we must re-think what we put into our bodies. We have been sold the most unnatural food and drink and we have paid for it. Is it any wonder that people are sick?
Harnessing the Power of Fasting
Once we have our addictions under control, we can then learn how to fast for a certain period of time. There are many ways to fast and detox the body. It is the most powerful way to restore the body back to it’s natural good health but it takes a lot of work. Fasting gives the body a break from digesting all that food intake and instead, that energy can be used for healing the body. We must cleanse our body and by doing so we repair damaged cells, purify the bloodstream, and clean out all of our organs. One example of fasting is a hard dry fast which is consuming no food and no water – not even showering or washing your hands. This is the most powerful fast anyone can do and it will enable your kidneys to filter correctly what your body doesn’t need – the toxic waste and excess fluid. It is said that a 1-days hard dry fast is equivalent to a 3-day water fast. A soft is no food and no water, except you can shower and wash your hands with water. Dr Sergey Filonov has done some significant studies on dry fasting but I have found some of his work has been removed from the internet. There are books to be read on dry fasting and I would advise to go with your intuition.
Water Fasting And Cleansing
Water fasting is another great method and if it’s your first fast it’s a good place to start. You would need good drinking water and distilled or spring is ideal. It’s much easier to do than a dry fast and every time you feel hungry you can drink some more water. If you find it easier, to begin with, you can also drink Irish sea moss tea with agave throughout your water cleanse and this certainly will boost your cleansing, although this would be more of a cleanse instead of fasting but drinking water only will clean the body more. Irish sea moss though, is a gift from god. If you research it, you will see the benefits. I will also do an article in the future about Irish sea moss. If you do decide to do a cleanse instead of water fasting, you could also add iron based herbal teas or capsules which will also be beneficial. A cleanse will ease the detox process, however, a water fast will always be more beneficial. I will recommend certain books and links at the end of this article to guide you on fasting.
Mono Fruit Fasting/juicing
Mono fruit fasting/juicing are very powerful too as the fruit will really get into those cells and clean out those toxins. This is juicing only one type of fruit. The best fruit for mono fruit fasting/juicing are watermelons, red seeded grapes, oranges or coconut water. People can easily go on doing this kind of fast for a week or even several weeks. I will also recommend a great book at the end of this article for a grape juice fast. You can buy bottled grape juice, however, If you can buy seeded grapes and juice them yourself then this is cheaper and more natural, but I have a hard time finding organic seeded grapes. We should also seek to buy all our food and drink organic as much as possible. Non-seeded grapes are not natural for our bodies but you will still find it beneficial at some level. Any type of fast or cleanse have their own benefits and I recommend trying each one to experience. Each one has significantly changed my life.
You could also just do a juice cleanse with a mixture of fruits or vegetables too. Juicing has amazing benefits, and you won’t be as hungry as you would be on a water fast, so it is easier but each have their own benefit and it’s important to experience all types of cleansing and fasting. With juicing, all those wonderful nutrients will go straight into your blood stream. These are powerful fasts and cleansing strategies. If you choose to juice, then you would need a high quality juicer or you could opt for something cheaper and purchase a nut milk bag to squeeze the juice out. (You can do this with the red seeded grapes too if you find some.) A great documentary to watch is Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead for some inspiration.
Coconut Water Fasting Benefits
Another great option is a coconut water fast. It may be more enjoyable to fast with coconut water rather than just water as it obviously has more flavour and is sweeter. People can do this fast for weeks. It is so powerful as you will be taking in those beautiful electrolytes of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Coconut water is another gift from nature and is truly healing for your body. I absolutely love coconut water.
Intermittent Fasting Approach
You might decide to try out an intermittent fast where you eat in a certain time slot every day, for example, between 9:00am to 5:00pm. You can give your body a 16-hour a day break from food and it will be very healing. Be careful not to overeat, so spread your food out a little and often throughout that window. Being so full is not good for your body as it has to break down that food which is more work and takes up more energy when that energy could be used for healing instead.
Listen to Your Body
Whatever fast or cleanse you decide to embark on, always go into and out of them slowly. You can slowly increase the time you want to fast for too. As an example, you could safely do one day on your first fast, then try two days two weeks later and then three days two weeks after that. Your body will eventually get accustomed to it and will remember each fast/cleanse that you do. We don’t give enough credit to our bodies. They are powerful healing machines, and they need to be given the right fuel to perform the best for us. All these fasts and cleanses have their own benefits, so explore each one and see how your body cleanses itself with each method, monitor your body, see how you feel at the end and see what works best for you.
Research and Proceed Cautiously
We have books to guide us, certain doctors that recommend fasting, and we can experiment safely too. So, I do stress to do your own research and listen to other people’s experiences who have done short-term and long-term fasting. As I say, you must go slow, start with short fasting and increase slowly with each fast. It’s important to reduce your food intake before you begin a fast and the same for when you break your fast – little by little. Eating too much too quickly may shock your body and this is where people can do serous damage to their organs. I am happy to assist you in these fasting techniques.
I highly recommend learning and understanding the different processes the body goes through when you begin a fast, during it, and when you break it. Most importantly, you must listen to your body especially when fasting. It speaks to you and will tell you to break your fast if you need to – so, be safe. There are many reasons to fast and it’s not just a physical experience. Fasting is a mental, emotional and spiritual experience too. It is a battle with yourself and you will crave for food. It will take a lot of will power and inner strength to beat food addictions when fasting. During your fast you must stay mentally strong, understand the process of what your body is going though, and the emotions that come up because they can be overwhelming. Fasting will clean your body so much that it will connect you more to the spirit world/universe/god/father most high, so that you can receive the healing powers and bring it into your life.
Our bodies tell us when we are sick by creating symptoms. We must understand how dis-ease is created in the body to eliminate it. A big part of this is understanding the lymphatic system in your body and Dr Robert Morse explains this best. It is your sewage system. If we get rid of the mucus or the muck in our body, we will prevent disease. I also highly recommend learning the works of Dr Sebi. He found the most natural foods and herbals to consume that are beneficial for our bodies, that work in perfect harmony with each other. I found his nutritional guide of an alkaline electric non-hybrid diet to be the most beneficial diet for me.
