My Personal Experience with Fasting

I know from personal experience that what Gabriel Cousens, MD, says in this video is true. I always feel better, more mentally sharp and in touch with my inner spirit during a water fast or a juice fast.

Fasting should only be done under the direction of a health professional. some people, diabetics for one, may have problems with fasting. Educating yourself is a great strategy here.

Quote from video:

“Fasting makes our bodies as a radiant pond, that reflects the light of the sun, the light of consciousness, compared to being a muddy hole, that reflects nothing.” -

A New Year, New Decade, Newness of Life

This year I plan to start the New Year with some juice fasting. The 2nd or 3rd of January would be a great time to start, after all the festivities, relative visiting and junk food fest is over. This will help me get a clear vision of what the New Year ahead, and even new decade will look like.

Whenever I do any kind of fasting or cleansing, I like to drink Dr. Miller’s Iaso tea. It greatly accelerates the detox process. It is even good to drink on a daily basis everyday of the year to help keep things cleaned out on the inside.

This is a great little recipe for a detoxing smoothie that goes down good any time of year. Shelley Young is the Queen of alkaline food preperation.

She likes to drink this one in the summer. You could add water in place of the ice cubes during the colder months and it still tastes amazing.

Try some detox tea, click the image below.

2 or 3 glasses of freshly made vegetable juice per day provides the equivalent of several large salads.

With juicing you get a concentrated flood of enzymes and nutrients. You would have to eat a large amount of vegetables to get the same value.

The big difference between juice and a whole vegetable is the fiber. Juice contains no fiber. Therefore it is much easier for your body to absorb the nutrients. Yes, most people need more fiber, but juicing is one way to bolster your enzymes and nutrition quickly. Just make sure to eat some whole vegetables too, so you get some fiber. The exception would be during a juice fast, but this is a temporary situation, not something you would do everyday.

Hippocrates center teaches juice fasting once per week.

It is exciting to see people waking up everyday feeling alive and feeling good in their body. Watching people create the lives they want to live.

The World Getting Fatter

People are getting fatter and fatter,  says Virginia, a lady who was fed up with being supersized. When she couldn’t reach down to tie her own shoes, it was time for a change.

Depressed, Need a Vacation?

Cary thought he needed a 6 month vacation, due to depression and liver issues. After a few days of juice fasting, he was feeling fantastic. No need for the 6 month vacation. In this video, you can see him juicing wheat grass, with a Green Star juicer. Very similar to the Green life juicer I have at home.

A Bonus Detox

One of the things I have added lately to my own detox regime is Dr Miller’s Iaso tea.  It is a blend of natural herbs, selected for their detox and weight loss properties. It is also great for an everyday drink to help keep the body and specifically the colon clean. Click on the image below to check it out.
