Re: Water Cure--A True Fast

[Guest guest]

Hi Ray:

Over the years when people spoke of 'Fasting' it was strictly a 'water fast'

with absolutely no food. Today people use the word 'Fasting' even when drinking

juices. Fasting was once one of the most popular forms of Alternative methods

because, as one proponent claimed, " It is the only true physiological rest " .

By that he mean that by fasting, and with total rest, one's body was using

almost all of its energy to heal itself. Fasting is believed to simply allow

the body to do what it does best---survive.

If we don't believe that the body alone is the healing force, then none of the

Alternative measures or Allopathic/Surgery would be successful. It is as I told

my Urologist. . " I don't care what you do, if my body's own immune system

doesn't stop the cancer from coming back it will keep coming back until I

don't " .

Ray, back in the late '50s I (water) Fasted for 30 days at a ranch run by one of

the then strongest proponents of Fasting and Naturopathy, Herbert M. Shelton

whose books today,

would compliment many of the beliefs many of us have. This man knew and

understood the body. Shelton was of the opinion that Fasting alone was not

indicated for cancer. Mind you, that was his opinion more than 50 years ago

and I do not believe he ever changed his mind. He suggested that 'perhaps,

after surgery, with removal of the cancer burden, fasting might be effective.

I do not believe that he changed his mind. I have not fasted for the Bladder

Cancer I am involved with.

I do remember people that I met that overcame serious arthritis and another

person I met, the brother of the President of one of the then popular potato

chip makers, staying there because his brother overcame a serious bout of

Angina. Apparently he could not walk but a few feet without gasping. This

fellow I met explained that when his brother came home from Shelton's, he ran up

and down stairs to show him his improvement. That convinced him to attempt a

fast.

We often see animals forgo all food when ill but we humans are a different

breed--we eat until we heave! Of all the efforts one can make, Fasting is by

far the physically easiest to perform. The problem is that without total rest,

the efforts are not productive because things that enervate the body and mind

also check elimination and healing according to those 'old-time' fasting

'experts'. Those old-time Fasting 'experts' believed that it was the

interfering with normal elimination that was the underlying cause of all

disease. Much of that makes sense. If the body's normal elimination through

all of its different methods is halted, the boy then required a 'heroic' effort

to rid itself of toxins or die. Those toxins, might be the normal cell-death

that goes on every second of our lives. Shelton stated, if I remember

correctly, that if one second of our cells that died were injected into a horse

it would drop dead. ?? I certainly could not verify that and I don't think it

matters because the point is well taken. That is how marvelous our body works.

Once we add emotions, pesticides, today's food........no wonder disease is on

the upswing. Now, re fasting, how does one perform a job? Take care of

children? Do anything? If you have any questions and don't want to bore the

list, you can write me personally.

Our bodies are mostly composed of water....don't remember the exact

percentage, but it is large! I think its 75% of our body is

water....the brain is 80% water. It is simply giving the body what it needs to

function at optimal levels...and it NEEDS water! Drinking lots of water, helps

accelerate the detoxification process, carries toxins out and replenishes the

body and cells. That way the body can get back to its " normal " functioning.

Most of us are chronically dehydrated, and don't even realize it! If

you wait until your thirst mechanism kicks in, your body is at the

point where it is now SCREAMING for water! Most people mistakenly

think their body is telling them they're hungry at this point, rather

than thirsty. Elderly people lose their thirst mechanism, which is

why it is EXTREMELY important just to always be handing them a glass

of water. When, for instance, you're dehydrated.....lots of physical

sypmtoms can be mainfested that is often misdiagnosed. Since the

brain is 80% water, and you can picture as a sponge, of course its

ability to function is highly impaired .... picture it much like a

sponge when it is dried up.....symptoms can manifest as confusion,

brian fog, impaired memory, depression etc.....

In reference to arthritis....our joints are cushioned with water....if those

cushions are dried up, of course you're gonna to hurt!

Aren't we just amazing creations! Its the simplest things that we

need, for our body to carry out the most complex of functins, all on

its own....without being told....and without our ability to always

understand how it does what it does! We are the greatest

Paradox!...lol...

If you're like me and sometimes just get plain tired of drinking water, start

adding real fruit juice to it. I cut a lemon in half and squeeze the lemon

juice in the water...no sugar!....just real lemon and water....Lemon is also a

potent alkalizer inside of the

body....so, your providing additional support at the same time. You

can also do the same with any " squeezable " fruit! Keeps things

interesting!...lol....

You all have a VERY, BLESSED NEW YEAR! 2007 is going to be

spectacular! God Bless.........................Belinda

My friends just added this water 'recipe' to their routine and felt it right

away. I'm going to start too!

I find plain water so hard to swallow - it seems to irritate the back of my

Himalayan salt brine to water, I can not only knock it back but it tastes really

good - almost sweet. I suppose this is because my body is needing that good

salt. I find when I do it that I come out in spots here and there - possibly

little life forms exiting, as per Salt/Vic C Lyme /Borreliosis protocol. (I

don't take the C and don't have Lyme).

As Shelton believed, fasting is not the cure for cancer, but urine

fasting is. See message:

/message/16744.

This man is still alive and anyone who wishes can talk to him, since

his phone number is given in the message. He has now become himself a

guide for auto-unrine-therapy. we can call this holy-water-therapy

to remove unpleasant word. The basic premise that body has amazing

power to self-heal is proven on many other examples, which are put as

testemonials on Dr Virendra Jain's website. Some of the medicines

made from cow urine have now received approval from government of

India too, after submitting results of various clinical trials. Cow

urine use in medicine has been granted a global patent to indians,

e.g. see govigyan.com. However the patent is not for commercialising

the science. The medicines for all diseases are available at

unimaginably low costs.
