| Jim's Story: From Near-Death to Amazing Health in One Week |
| At the time I met Jim, he was suffering from congestive heart failure, type two diabetes, gout, hypertension, high cholesterol, inability to sleep more than two hours, (and only in one position), and numerous conditions related to diabetes, including progressive loss of eyesight and scaly skin all over his face, torso, arms and legs. He was unable to walk more than about 100 yards because he was in so much pain, and was taking 17 different medications every day. He weighed 340 pounds, (which would have been the ideal weight for him – if he were about 14 feet tall!) Jim’s doctor had exhausted conventional treatment options, and told him that he had only weeks to live, and that maybe I could help him.
During our first consultation, (which lasted 3 hours), I told Jim what he needed to do in order to stay alive for the next couple of weeks, and that he needed to clear his schedule for at least a month to fast. He informed me that at the CEO of two corporations, he couldn’t afford to take that much time off. I reminded him that, according to his doctor, he was likely to be dead within a month or two. He finally agreed to fast for one week. Priorities. I had a conference call with his internist and his cardiologist and explained that I needed Jim off all of his medications prior to fasting. His internist said: “We can’t take him off his diabetes medication.” “Oh,” I said, “why not?” “Because he’ll go into diabetic shock, coma. He could die.” “Well,” I said, I’m not the doctor, but my experience is that when we simply get out of the way, it takes care of itself.” Next his cardiologist spoke up. “We can’t take him off his hypertension medications.” “Oh, “ I said, “how come?” “Because his blood pressure will skyrocket. It could kill him,” the doctor replied. “Well, “ I said again, “ You guys are the experts, but I’ve found that if we just get out of the way, it seems to take care of itself.” They agreed to take Jim off all medications, and though I like to think that I’m pretty persuasive, I don’t kid myself that I convinced these two doctors of anything. Rather, I suspect that they figured Jim was going to die pretty soon, and they might as well allow him to die at my place rather than under their care. So Jim came to the center and commenced his fast. Within 24 hours of initiating his fast, Jim was able to read the newspaper for the first time in months. After 48 hours of fasting, the gout in his legs was gone, both legs completely cleared of fluid. Jim had spent much of the first two days standing in front of the toilet urinating away the excess water that mega-doses of diuretics couldn’t eliminate. The difference was simple: having eliminated the stored uric acid, his body no longer needed the water to buffer his system, and the excess water was simply and naturally peed away. Over the next couple of days, we watched Jim continue to improve, eliminating one symptom after another. On the fifth day, we took a blood sugar reading, and his blood sugar was normal. This is remarkable only because he had not been able to achieve a normal blood sugar reading with 6 years of medication. By the time Jim completed his 7 day fast, he was sleeping through the night for the first time in years, his skin had cleared completely, and he was feeling better than he had in years. This man, who hadn’t been able to walk more than 100 yards prior to his fast, walked half a mile after seven days of fasting, before his first meal! In fact, virtually every one of Jim’s conditions had completely resolved within seven days; his hypertension was the only exception. As typically happens with people with a significant degree of plaque in their arteries, Jim’s blood pressure had risen slightly early in the fast, and had descended below his starting point. One week simply wasn’t long enough to resolve this most-important issue. Still, by giving is body the opportunity to really cleanse and heal itself, Jim went from seventeen medications to one. Jim’s story is amazing not because of the results he achieved, but rather because those results were achieved in only 7 days. At Tanglewood, we see these kind of “miracles” all the time, they just usually take a bit longer to manifest. |
