At sixteen years of age, I began the unsafe
journey of exploring psychedelic drugs. A bad L.S.D. trip
resulted in daily, agonizing headaches. To deal with the pain, I
started to use painkillers, tranquilizers, cannabis and alcohol.
Five hazy years of my life were devoted to escaping pain from
side to side drugs. I become more reckless in my drug use. With
callous disregard for my life, I inject a syringe full of P.C.P.
It was a dangerous dose. This injection severely injured my
kidneys, increasing my pain level. Anger and self-hatred turned
to hardened anger I hated the world, but I had no one to blame
but me. Seven years later after my first knowledge with drugs, I
was forced to live with the consequences of the abuse to my
body. My short-term reminiscence was nonexistent. My skin was a
sickly yellow. I was constantly tired. My kidneys burn with
pain, my leg muscles would spasm and ache while standing. As my
job necessary working on ladders for long hours, I lost my job!
It was a dark, dismal, miserable and hopeless existence.
Finally, with no other way out, I got down on my knees in prayer
and surrender my life to God. I repent, gave Him my life and
asked Christ to enter my heart. At that moment, nothing happens
but five hours later the sound of angels rejoicing penetrated
deeply into my cold heart. I would never be the same. Everything
changed. I had a burning fire inside. I had reason, meaning and
connection for the first time. I started a new exploration of
the religious world. Joining a Christian youth group, I made new
friends who did not use drugs and support me through my
recovery. I used my experience to help others not go down the
similar path. I spoke before thousands of students in high
schools about the dangers of drug abuse and many made commitment
to stop using drugs. Life now had meaning and reason, but my
body and soul were still damaged. I was still sick. Years of
drug abuse had overwhelmed my health.
When I heard about fasting, I was at the point where I was
willing to try no matter which. I discovered a book called
Rational Fasting describing how a dying man had return to
health. Not only had he overcome a fatal illness through a
strict vegan diet and fasting, his newfound health surpassed the
vitality of his youth. For me, the communication shouted out
hope. The benefits of weight loos juice fasting helped me to
feel better bodily and mentally I continued to study and found
books on weight loos juice fasting. As a teen I had try water
fasting and ended up vomiting over the toilet on the third day.
Juice fasting complete sense. I bought a cheap juicer and
started experimenting. My favorite was cantaloupe juice. Second
was honeydew and third was my veggie mixture of carrots, apples,
lemons, celery and beet. After several short juice fasts of
three-to-seven days, over a one-year era, I felt better
physically and mentally. The benefits of these short fast
encouraged me. I in progress working out in the gym and eating
healthier. My body healed enough to go back to work but I was
still tired—standing on ladders caused strong pain in my legs. A
thirty-day juice fast was the turning point in my life. The
primary few days were difficult, but as I continued I felt much
better. At the twentieth day of the fast, I started operational
fourteen hours per day at hard, physical labor in the hottest
summer weather. I climbed the ladders with ease. My energy level
drastically increased. There was other improvement as the fast
went on. I needed less sleep, my mind cleared, and my
reminiscence was now functioning. Leg muscles returned to
health, and back pain tapering due to the healing of my kidneys,
leaving me a virile young man. My life very changed! For the
first time in years I was pain free. Instead of suffering, it
became a happy experience.
The healing came like water to a parched, drought-stricken
heart. The thirty days of fasting on weight loos juice was a
miracle that changed my life. Not only was my health renewed,
but I also experienced vitality, energy and clarity of mind, and
the aging procedure was drastically reduced. Next to becoming a
Christian, this fast had the next greatest impact on my life. To
go from sickness to health in 30 days was more than I supposed
possible. Changes so dramatic demanded answers and that hunger
for sympathetic birthed the writing you now hold in your hand. I
wanted to understand why fasting heal so powerfully and how to
support that healing through diet. I wanted to help others who
had health problems. Although I could not spell or type, and had
almost no script skills, a burning passion kept me going. After
the fast, I faced new challenges. Fasting was easy compare to
trying to stay on a healthy diet. My compulsive addictive nature
distorted forms. My war was now with food. Small did I know this
was the start of a five-year war with food addiction? After the
fast it become even more important to eat healthy, as the
fasting had drastically increased my compassion to harmful
foods. The wonderful clean feeling of the fast faded as I
entered the world of consumption. I started studying nutrition
book what to eat and how to eat in order to hold up the benefits
I had received from the fast. Even with this knowledge I still
wrestle with compulsive eating.
I decided the problem demanded serious study and attempt. I
studied books on weight-loss, self-esteem, addiction, coping
with failure, goal location, and every resource I could get my
hand on to understand my inability to control my performance. I
started the book, eating in Freedom, and by the end I was free.
Yet even with that information the road through life brought
many challenges and failure came and went. I now know that
life’s journey has many imperfections and know that humbleness
is the only response to grace for we all fail. In looking back
to my detection of fasting, I see that it was not an accident.
The people who have had such deep effect on my life have not
been there by coincidence.
