The bloodsucking healthcare industry is caught AGAIN

> Yes, fasting sounds like it should be free! The catch is that we need
someone to lookout for us and a comfortable place to rest.
> Fasting is all about resting. Anything we do to decrease the load on our body for a period of time allows the body to do its work. Just staying in bed 10 or 12 hours every day for a month will make a difference.
> One can also do short fasts alone - 3 days are common.

I did 3 days in the spring and I will do another 3 day fast in December between the holidays. When my mother was here 2 years ago with a severe situation which was draining my life force because I wasn't able to sleep enough, I imposed a 1 day fast on both of us and just stayed in bed! Dr. Andrew Weil is right (even though he hasn't seen the whole light yet!):
One day of just staying in bed and eating lightly every week would be good for all of us.
> The key is to lie in bed - read if you have to or listen to music or audio tapes/CDs. Being idle the first 3 days of a fast is a challenge. Doing physical exercise or laboring mentally during a fast destroys tissue.

> For a 3 day fast - to give yourself the most value for these 3 days:
Start with just fruit for at least 3 days week - melon or papaya, whichever is in season, would be the best choice - don't worry about the mono nature (unless you can't handle 3 days of one of these - all in the head and still important!), this fruit will clean out the colon and it does have nutrient - worry about balanced nutrient after the fast.
> Then do 3 days of water - sip it all day long and when you awaken at night - the hazard the first days is the chance of falling because you are
dehydrated and light-headed - be very careful when you sit or stand up.
> I end my food with the evening meal the day before and just use water from the beginning on the 1st day.
>On the 4th day - start with melon or papaya again - go easy at the morning meal and do a similar midday meal - change the fruit in the evening.
>the 5th day - eat fruit (whatever appeals) in the morning and at midday - in the evening, some fruit followed by Romaine lettuce.
>On the 6th day - eat normally except skip any nuts, seeds or other major source of fat. Then proceed with a wonderful natural low-fat vegan diet!

Here are a couple of other things I found in a file I wrote 2 years ago.
> SUNSHINE. Exposing as much of the body as possible to the sun is very beneficial during fasting. If you aren’t spending time in the sun regularly already, take it easy. Start with 10 minute sessions and build up slowly. Do this in the morning before 10:30 am and in the afternoon after 4:30 pm, if possible.
> EXERCISE. Zilch – zero – during a fast.
> SENSATIONS Headache – Many of us are addicted to a toxic food digestion byproduct and don’t even know it. Others know they are addicted to caffeine or something else. In either case, a withdrawal headache may be experienced. Bear with it. Use cold cloths on your forehead and stay in bed. It will go away. Each day it should be less
severe.
>Nausea – Many people feel a bit nauseous at the first of a fast. This
evidently occurs because we have a little pouchy area in the bottom of the
stomach that doesn’t empty efficiently. If the sensation is extremely
strong, try bringing the acid up by sipping hot water until the acid comes
up. Usually, the sensation is bearable and the acid will go down through
the intestines eventually.
> Light-headedness – Drink more water.
> Itchy skin – Acid seems to come out through the skin if it exceeds the eliminative capacity of the colon. Just bear with it. It is a good sign.

You can do the 3-day and this is as good start!

"Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food"
- Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine (460-377 B.C.)

As a grandmother raising a now 13 year old granddtr Dx as aspergers (I have no doubt caused by mercury in infant vaccines) I have been fighting the school sysytems for ten years. I am happy to say I never succumbed to pscyh drugs, all their threats got them no where. I figured out a long time ago to never let a school do any testing, and to never let a psychiatrist ten feet near her. All testing was done by a neurologist and at a chidlrens hospital. I never had any problem letting them know ahead of time that if they planned on Dx her with any Dx out of the DSM IV manual they better have a blood test, PET scan to back it up. Guess what? She was never Dx with a mental illness. There is a very simple solution to all these phony subjective Psych Dx's. Its called knowledge. If you've done your research then they don't stand a chance. I did have a school call DSS on me once. She was sent to school with a Maranda card hanging around her neck, and when the DSS worker called my house I warned her that my attorney knew my granddtr had the miranda card, and she would need a warrant from a judge to get into my house. Well that ended it. I also told her that the DSS report was filed as retaliation for hiring a special needs advocate, and revoking the schools right to restrain my granddtr. She left the school shortly after and is now an AB student and has never needed to be restrained ever again. That was two years ago. Its all about power and control. If they can't control the way you think then they will slap a Dx on you. They have many tricks they use. Massachusetts has added mental health screening to the kids yearly physicals. They don't even tell the parents they are screening. They tried this with my granddtr this year at her physical. Very sneaky innocent questions like How do you like school, do have any friends, do you ever feel overwhelmed with schoolwork. I knew immediately after the third question what she as doing. I let the Ped know that the questions were to stop and that she had no right doing a psych screen without my consent. She got pretty pissed, I told he to just write the grandmother refused the psych screen. People have got to become informed and refuse to cooperate before we dont have a choice. Its the only answer.

I have said that we are treated like we came from a cookie cutter, but we are all different and there is no pill that will make us the same. Food allergies are real and should be checked first. A co worker's son, at the age of 4, was put on Retlin and some other drug. Its just sad. When the co worker picks up his son the first thing that is done is to give him Bug juice and a little debbie cake(nothing but sugar) and then wonder why the child is bouncing off the walls. I keep on asking if maybe the kid is allergic to something he is eating, but I am not the doctor so that is as far as it will go.
