Re: Dealing with ill informed people when water fasting
I too am reading The Pleasure Trap and on chapter nine wierd.
I have run into all kinds of people trying to force me to eat. They say "Eat Something." They either laugh at you or encourage you to your face or simply hate you. But it is up to us to be firm. I find I visit people less or go when I am fasting.
I don't think most vegetarians become vegetarians to loose weight, I thing they are vegetarians because of health, I could be wrong. But in my case it was for health. I became more and more raw as I saw that each step brought me closer to a perfect peacefulness in the spirit. For there are a lot of raw recipes that are very fattening and in my words not healthy.
Now on a positive note: I was invited to my neighbors to break my fast today and went as she is a naturalist like me and we dined on many plant based foods. I was explaining to her about the Natural Hygiene Diet and how we feel that the body is able to heal all illnesses thru God and that my eventual goal was to begin a water fast. She is the only one who encouraged me. A very famous Arab celebrity who heals using the macrobotic diet appeared on the news and she has a clinic and her name is Miriam Nour. She has her own tv show on Al -Jazera and she is emphasizing the 21 day water fast. She told the viewers that they should give up on all foods and do a water fast.
So my neighbor was extremely interested in the concept and I was telling her she needs to prepare for the
Water Fast with a few months of very healthy eating so she does that anyway. So hopefully my neighbor and I will support each other and begin a
Water Fast soon.
