Re: Getting ready for first complete water fast


SoulDoc,

"So... if you fast until hunger returns versus breaking the fast before hunger returns does that change the method of refeeding? Or is the difference merely that you must exercise a greater degree of restraint against your appetite?"

The return of hunger means that your powers of digestion have returned in their fullest vigorous state, and where solid food is recommended to break the fast of a high water content. We should bear in mind that the bodies composition is approx' 70% water anyway.
However, if hunger has not returned, then the powers of digestion are fairly limited and the body is not really ready to accept nourishment. Breaking the fast before the return of hunger needs more care in nurturing it back to its fullest extent.

I believe that Jesus of Nazareth consumed both grains (bread) AND fish, so what is good for the goose.............!!!
Bread in his day would have been 100% wholewheat with no additives/ preservatives and the fish would have been free from contaminants such as mercury.
After being a vegetarian for some years I became a vegan for many more, but I am now a firm believer in the omnivorous approach to eating as indeed are many Natural Hygienists.

Sheltons health problems stemmed from his over-zealousness for his cause.........20 hour days....overwork.........


By Victoria Bidwell...........
"By 1972 Dr. Shelton is bedridden for the rest of his life. The symptoms of what the medical world term "Parkinson's disease" have claimed the strong motor skills of Dr. Shelton's once muscular and vibrant body. The workaholism of his lifetime finally takes its toll. The myelin sheath that surrounds and protects the nerves of the body can wear out. The subjective experience is lack of motor control. Muscles atrophy, waste away. Strength is lost. Movement is difficult. Uncontrollable shakes appear, especially in the hands. Dr. Shelton's drive to help The People with every ounce of Nerve Energy he had, his love for Hygiene and his contempt for The Disease Industrialists combined, worked for you and me and The People and against him. What must he have been thinking? Surely, he knew where all that lack of "Energy Enhancers #4: Rest & Sleep" over the decades was going to take him! Why would he drive himself like that when he knew, better than all The Health Seekers in the world, where it would take him?!?!? Only if you have a compulsive/addictive personality yourself, can you begin to understand a drive like this! Like T.C. Fry, Dr. Shelton certainly was not practicing "Proverbial Wisdom." Sweet sleep, in big doses, could have saved Dr. Shelton from riding out his life from his bed another 13 years. Back in his 30s and 40s and 50s and 60s, Dr. Shelton would have had to take another 4 to 6 hours a day for rest and sleep. How many books would not have been written? How many lectures not given? How many phone calls not made? How many Hygienic Reviews not published? How many patients not supervised? The tangled web he weaved for himself when he deceived himself all those years ended up making him a deathbed cocoon from which he could not rise. Dr. Shelton was left with legs that could not walk, left with hands that could not write, and left with vocal cords that could not speak. All for the sake of The Cause. Where, pray tell, Dear GetWell Friends, is the wisdom in that?"
