Water Fasting

Even though this has been my main direction from the start, I have been putting forth effort to both keep an open mind and avoid mentioning it to others. I know that it is counter intuitive to almost everyone I know. Needless to day the doctors strongly recommended against it.

I get that most people would strongly urge me to embrace science and reason by going with the tested results of western medicine. The positive statistics on fasting to cure cancer seems almost nil. I am not expecting to change anyone's mind...yet.

When I stop and sit alone and feel through how I want to be remembered. I don't want the story about me to be told of yet another sole who followed the status quo (and left a big debt for my wife). I would like my story to be that I followed my heart (and head) to show others that there is a way provided by nature to heal ones self. The universe does not require that you pay for it, only that you accept that which is provided to all. I see these healers as pure water, sunlight, and the vegetation that grows about us.

That said, I will provide some detail of my path. I am going to play much of it by ear. This meaning that I am going to pay attention to what is happening to me every step of the way. In preparation for this fast which I hope to start at the end of this week, I have modified my diet. I am sticking to live foods (lots of greens) and at least 6 quarts of water daily (with lemon/lime and ginger often). I am also intentionally diminishing my intake. This is taking my body weight from a lifetime average of 160-165 down. Currently, I am at 147. While I don't perform rigorous exercise, I am able to walk up in the local canyons and carry my son on occasion (he is 26 lbs.). The point being that I am not lethargic.

My expectation is that if I can get my body closer to very little body fat, I can diminish the time that I fast by seeing the cancer I can feel get smaller. If this does not happen prior to my feeling that my body is damaging itself, I will likely switch over to a fast on juices and green drinks. The theory is that when my digestive tract is not expending energy processing food, the entire body can apply that energy to doing what it always does anyway, removing toxins from the body and consuming stored energy, be it fat or unnecessary tissue such as tumors.

I am not expecting that the tumors go away completely during the fast. I am only expecting that they begin to diminish. Then I know that I am controlling it and can continue to diminish them with juice, then solely raw foods until I find balance with raw AND the foods I love. When you look at the American Cancer Society's website, you can see that diet seems to be an important part of prevention, but little mention is made of it in the curing process. My medical oncologist tells me that I should just eat the foods I love. This does not work for me.

The water fast will be lots of pure water. The ideal for me is water running down a stream. This will be filtered if necessary. I will also be doing enemas to assist toxin removal. While I will do many hours of reading, writing, sunning and contemplation, I will also move my body to assist with blood and oxygen flow. I have fasted several times in my 20's and can tell you that the body is not without any energy.

Again, I know this seems dilutional, but if you don't agree, just send me your love (if you choose). I am past the point where references of those who have survived western medicine will sway me. I hope you can understand my intent if nothing else.
