Re: A Breakthrough! Detoxification Discovery--friend's testimony-Tanglewood-Loren's place

[Guest guest]

I have a friend that is right now at Loren's place in Panama. Here's her recent note to me with a great testimony too: "Two weeks ago I finished a 21 day water fast and 1 week refeeding> retreat at Tanglewood Wellness Center, a fasting center and raw food> community.

Wow, that is fantastic Carol. Sounds like she is doing great and totally

enjoying herself. I have heard that Loren is very good at what he does.

What a wonderful testimony.

Thanks for sharing this Carol.

Don, Glad to share anything that may help the next person. I did have one friend who also went to Tangelwood while in USA to be an intern. She left quickly. Maybe she wasn't ready to intern or maybe personality thing too--I don't know. Deb, sounds like she's loving it. I was hoping at our rawluck this past Sunday we would talk to her before she went to bed at 8:30, but it didn't happen. Will keep you updated. I know Deb, and totally believe every word she says. She's direct and honest. She is the only person I know who has been through his facility. carolgDon Eitner <mysticalherbalist@...> wrote: Wow, that is fantastic Carol.
