Hi,
I believe your mother should continue with UT and that it has nothing to do with causing her stroke and could well have lessened an otherwise worse medical problem.
UT every day for 16 years has not lowered my cholesterol and I have tried many diet changes with hardly any lowering of cholesterol so I believe mine is where it should be. The doctors think otherwise, but who is to say? They do not know what is normal for an individual, only what is average.
Over time your mother's blood vessels may improve, I certainly think they will not worsen at any accelerated rate if she stays on UT, so it is important in my opinion for her to continue it.
My opinion is that she needs to fast on UT for a minimum of 21 days to help her blood vessels recover if they are not right. Atrial Fibrulation (AF) can cause a stroke regardless of UT and there are probably other things that can too.
Five years ago I suffered AF, I have a poor family history on my dad's side of heart attack so after taking the drugs for 6 months and having all the tests completed I decided to fast on urine and water for 10 days, next year was 13 days, two years later 14 days and recently 20 days. I keep going back to processed food in between which is why I keep fasting each year - a problem I am working on. However I have not had a repeat of AF and my blood pressure on average is dropping.
It may not be wise to believe after a life of abuse (meant in a nice way to indicate wrong foods etc.) that we can correct everything with UT alone. I have not ready Martha Christie's book for a very long time (lent it and never saw it again), but I remember thinking at the time that perhaps she overstated the benefits from UT alone.
The book I liked best was The Water of Life because John Armstrong gave more specific treatments, cases and cures, all based on gravely ill people suddenly fasting on urine and water (absolutely no supplements or anything else while doing this). He always advocated fasting to restore health with lots of daily massage with urine for 2-4 hrs followed by a healthy, no-processed-food diet after the fast and UT of a minimum of 2 glasses per day and recycling it all if possible.
His fasting usually went from 21 days to 30 days to 45 days depending on the person and their condition, however he never said how to tell when a person should stop. I suddenly felt much better with more energy at 20 days and I was not ill when I began, so I wonder if the feeling of complete health was the signal. He often said he kept it going for another 4 days after the person was healed to make sure.
I feel strongly that your mother should not blame UT, that Martha Christie overstated the benefits of UT alone and that your mother should continue and if possible, do a fast as well.
I have completely reversed my thinking that it is the amount of good diet, supplements, UT, liver and colon flushes etc. that we have that makes us healthy.
I now believe it is the amount of poor foods in our diet (regardless of other healthy foods and supplements) that makes us unhealthy and some people are more resistant than others.
Instead of trying to have as much healthy foods and supplements as possible, I believe we should instead aim for a mainly vegetarian (not totally) diet of unprocessed and non-chemically-treated foods even if those foods are not overly nutritious.
There was a program on TV about how to live to more than 100 and the diet of all the communities where many people were over 100 was mainly vegetarian and many of the communities had a boring, not highly varied diet. However none of it was processed!
I am an advocate for a urine fast to restore the body to normal followed by avoiding processed foods and continuing UT. I find this very difficult in a Western Society, I am trying to do this myself and getting better at it.
