Sustainable Health

Cleansing Out

Never in the history of our planet has the need for personal detox been more relevant than today.

We live in a world that expects the quick fix. Often the self-healing power of the body to cleanse itself is overlooked and rarely given a chance to act.
 
This self-healing power to cleanse out arises from the innate and exceptional intelligence of the body to self-heal when the obstacles to healing are removed. 

The human body has been designed to detoxify itself safely, and has built into it the blueprint to change its’ fuel consumption (metabolism) and to detoxify safely if and when we allow it the opportunity to do so. 

This makes scientific fasting the Rolls Royce drive along the Royal Road to amazing health.

Nourishing in is an indescribably beautiful and exciting journey; but cleansing out is truly an exhilarating journey i recommend everyone consider and tackle.

May i suggest you get the feel of nourishing in for a while first, even for a few weeks or months, and if after a few months, you have a knowing deep down inside that you want to climb up the Mt Everest of your life, go for it. A full cleanse will take you there.

In taking on a full cleanse you'll discover something so powerful and gentle you can carry it with you for your entire life. Even a short partial cleanse will do something very very good for you.

Once you enter this zone of commitment to optimizing sustainable health, you are digging deep for outstanding and truly amazing results.

This is ancient and sacred wisdom, verified by modern science. But it’s not just rocket science. It’s rocket fuel ! Within nine months of committing to vegan nutrition, I decided, mid 2000, it was time to 'clean house'.

For me personally the decision to eliminate all animal products from my life opened up for me and enabled me to perceive in the spirit the spiritual door to fasting.
 
This decision brought me to the door of deeper and more focused prayer, and it became a tool for me to help me to allow God to empower me to walk the talk of sustainable health and wholeness.

God wants to restore us whole. He specialises in miracles. At the time i undertook my first cleanse, i knew that i was hungry for the biggest miracle of my life, and i knew that He would deliver.

I knew this because it was He who harnessed my identity and being together and whole in the first place, actually one unforgettable day in my fifteenth year. I needed a bigger miracle.

In 2000, in undertaking my first full and complete cleanse i did not know that He had something so wonderful in mind. This next miracle wasn’t just about my identity and purpose.

God was wanting to equip me and empower me, as He does for each of us, for His special purpose, which is primarily to spread the fire of His love and message to others, and to encourage people to discover for themselves what it means to be really really healthy, spirit, soul, and body, in a sustainable way that works for the individual, as well as for the planet.

That may or may not sound over the top, to some. Sure. In the natural it may. Fasting  and cleansing is not just an 'in the natural' physiological and psychological wonder trip.

Fasting is a supernatural flight into the stratosphere of the human and divine spirit, a convergence of the two, the meeting point of ice and fire, the collision point of God and man and the ultimate experience of sacred space.

God showed me this through fasting, through which He not only reharnessed me, but did something far greater in me than I had ever known before: He immersed me in His Spirit and His Spirit in me. This is the meaning of the word baptism, the essence of the experience. You can't describe it's beauty. You just got to feel it!! WHY NOT GO FOR IT!!! 

Fasting is a personal way to cleanse using nutrition. It resonates powerfully with  and complements medical detox through chelation which i have used over the past fifteen years. (Another story, another time). 

I began my first fast in winter on June 17th 2000, under careful supervision. The method I use and advocate has been scientifically tested and validated by the Karolynska Institute in Stockholm, where the Nobel Prizes are awarded.

The findings in that research, repeated countless times over, confirm the benefits and safety of the technique. The benefits are not all described here; in short, you can expect significant improvement to your energy, vitality, cognition (mental clarity increases, often profoundly), and reversal of a wide range of common disease states such as hypertension, angina, diabetes, obesity, weight management, cognitive dysfunction and many other conditions.

Fasting grounded me to being led by the Spirit, lifting my spirits, my mind and my body back into not just really good shape again, but great shape again. I began to feel and discover completely whole and balanced and strong again.

One has to experience a prolonged fast to discover the truths within that journey. There are usually no difficulties in prolonged fasting if one is grounded in the Spirit and properly supervised; 

I suggest you do not start a deep cleanse until you know you are absolutely ready and your motive – your heart - is right. 

Rule One:

If you seriously want to undertake a cleanse, please, make sure you are taught properly and supported and supervised carefully by someone experienced and skilled in fasting, who will care for your whole being.

You owe it to yourself to have a co-pilot through such an experience. You don't want to try to learn this stuff over the internet unless you have a properly qualified supervisor to guide you through.

“Fasting has hit the front pages of major medical publications due to its recognized effectiveness in well-controlled scientific studies” for many dangerous but common illnesses. (“Fasting and Eating For Health” by Dr Joel Fuhrman, MD)

Only when there is a substantial reduction in calories do we observe waste products being heavily excreted from the breath, the tongue, the urine, and the skin.

The fast does not merely detoxify, it also breaks down superfluous tissue – fat, abnormal cells, atheromatous plaque, and tumours - and releases diseased tissues and their cellular products into the circulation for elimination, mobilizing the toxins from their storage site, restoring physiologic youth to the system, increasing the blood flow and subsequent oxygenation and nutrient delivery to vital organs, an internal spring cleaning.

Learning the ancient skill of fasting has enabled me to personally undertake numerous cleanses over the last ten years, including three fasts each lasting three-months and more.

“There are three things, brothers, three, through which faith stands firm, devotion abides, and virtue endures: prayer, fasting, and mercy. What prayer knocks for upon a door, fasting successfully begs and mercy receives. Prayer, fasting, and mercy: these three are a unit. They give life to one another."

"Fasting is the soul of prayer, and kindness is the life of fasting. Fasting does not germinate unless watered by mercy, for mercy is to fasting what rain is to the earth". Saint Peter Chrysologus.

A cleanse is not just a walk into the miracle of physiological restoration. Nor is it solely a walk into the restoration of the soul, i.e. of the mind, the will and the emotions. No no. Oh no. 

That’s just the preliminary taste of His wonder working miraculous grace. No no. Your whole being cannot be harnessed properly until you are restored Supernaturally, i.e. in the realm of the Spirit. 

When you fast and pray quietly, and read and chew on the sacred truths of wisdom, your faith will grow stronger, and you will begin to perceive the presence and smell and aroma of our Creator,  everywhere.

Through cleansing you will fall in love with Creation and our Creator over and over again, brand new. His presence is so beautiful and glorious.

Over the last ten years I have more or less lived on raw nutrition, probably on average seventy five percent (the percentile is not so important as the motive), including lots and lots of juices.

Sometimes I will live only on juices for days or even weeks or months at a time for the wonderful health benefits it gives, transitioning in and out of such intervals with fresh raw food, or similar recipes.  

Learning the ancient skill of fasting has enabled me to personally undertake numerous cleanses over ten years, including several total cleansing juice liquid fasts, each one lasting three to four months, using a safe, effective, reproducible and scientific method! No gimmicks.

Cleansing out through fasting came into my heart, via a door He opened for me on the road along and into His truth and light, a door through which those who are blessed to find and enter means one giant step for self and life in the Spirit. 

Fasting skill improves each time you fast, is renewable and self sustaining, and regularly restores my energy to what it was at around the age of 15; and I'm now 57, never happier, certain, thanks be to God, beyond all doubt, that this day, this week, this month, this year, are all going to be the best in my life. 

When life around and in me moves too fast, I fast, till He and I are one again. God teaches me every day how to pray better and quietly with Him, how to be immersed in His truth, daily, and be with Him everywhere, every chance I can. 

Looking back over all that has happened in my life, the most extraordinary event of my life was the day, aged fifteen, when i discovered the gift of wholeness. 

One of the greatest culmination points in my life, was the time I learned how to cleanse, for it not only taught me how to be reharnessed whole, but more importantly how to be empowered and equipped, spirit, soul and body, to surrender to our Creator, for the mission of spreading the love that He has spared no expense to shower on and in me.

Through fasting He rewards supernaturally with stronger faith, an outpouring of His grace and peace and innumerable blessings. He will do it for anyone who is humble enough to just surrender to Him, to let go and let God.  

Then just wait on Him and see! One fine day the sun’s gonna shine on your back door, and you will see into the radiance of His blinding, truly blinding light and love for all His creation.
