How does fasting compare to a colonic and good diet program

How does fasting compare to a colonic and good diet program?

I looked around on your website and I read your information with much anticipation. I am a 36-year-old registered nurse. Unfortunately I have not taken care of myself for many years. Way too much fast food and pop have taken a toll on my health. I have always just eaten whatever I want with the mindset that next week I will start fresh with exercise and healthy eating, but that day never comes. I am overweight by 130 pounds. I should weigh about 130 but I weigh 260.

A few years ago I started breaking out with the occasional boil. The doctor checked me out and determined that I did not have any diabetes problems... yet. My mother has type II. I knew that I needed to do something different, but was not sure what. I went from the occasional over time to having breakouts under my arms of 12-15 pimples, with about three of them becoming full-blown boils. Very painful! Last week my whole abdomen broke out with around 20 pimples and a few boils along with two boils on my arm, one on my breast, and one behind my leg. I decided that was enough. I felt like I was supposed to fast and pray. I fasted for 65 hours. I was upset with myself for quitting before the 72-hour mark, but I felt so sick that I ended up eating. That night I had diarrhea for 6 hours. It was the burning kind, and then I was disgusted for eating.

I am reading a book on fasting and it says that if you are extremely toxic you need to do a fast or juice fast one day for every year you are old. I am 36. It says you can do it in increments of 7-10 days once a month until you reach your 36 days and then afterwards just the occasional day for health. I also heard that I should do colonics because my liver would be detoxifying. This is all new to me. I am a labor and delivery nurse and a recovery nurse for surgery patients, so I am not that knowledgeable on other things outside my scope of practice. I would just really appreciate any information you could give me on what you think I should do. I feel such despair. My mom raised me on meat and potatoes and I just don't like vegetables. They taste so nasty to me. I do want to like them. I really really do want to. I just don't know what to do. I would love to hear your mind on this matter at your earliest convenience.

I think that the fasting program you describe would be EXTREMELY hard on your body. I would not recommend it!

In order to rebuild your body, you will need the raw materials. This includes foods such as coconut oil, healthy proteins found in grass-fed meats and raw dairy, and appropriate amounts of fruits. Without these, you will continue to overload an already overloaded and run-down body. We can set up a program over the phone, or I have a 35-day program that would get you started in my book, Ten Days to Optimal Health. Once you do the 35 days, you will feel much better about yourself and the next steps will be much easier!
