Why did you decide to fast?
To cleanse my system in order to get a jump start on healing

What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast?
After Loren’s seminar in June I really wasn’t apprehensive at all. It all made sense.

Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? If so, why? Why did you continue/stop?
No. In fact I came to do a 21 day fast and after the 1st week decided to extend it and I was happy with that decision.

Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why, or why not?
Absolutely. Having Dr. Tim oversee my fast was invaluable.

Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center?
I met Loren at a seminar in June up in Seattle; I liked what I heard and it made sense to me. I wanted to get my health in order so I decided to do it at Tanglewood which turned out to be an excellent decision.

What was your experience like at Tanglewood?
I felt very taken care of & had an excellent experience.

What did you experience during the fast?
The 1st 3 weeks went by quickly and quite well-the last week was a bit harder as I felt much weaker.

How did you spend your time?
Mostly resting, reading, enjoying the beautiful surroundings from the deck chairs & talking with some of the other fasters.

Just purified water? Were you hungry?
I never experienced any hunger.

Did you get weak?
Yes, towards the end of my fast.

What was the best part of the process for you?
Knowing I was doing something incredibly good for my body.

What was the most difficult part of the process for you?
The last few days feeling weak.

Was it ever painful?
Never

What are you experiencing now after the fast?
I think this question will best be answered in 4-6 months.

Did you experience any changes due to fasting?
Yes, I noticed the arthritis in my hands was gone. A pinched nerve pain I had down in my right leg had also disappeared.

What kind of diet are you following after your fast?
I intend to continue on my raw fruits & veggies

Is eating difficult for you now that you’ve complete the fast?
Not at all

Would you fast again?
I’m planning to return for a 21 day fast same time next summer or sooner.

What advice would you give to other fasters?
Prepare in advance by eating fruits & veggies 6 weeks or more before beginning the fast-it will be easier.

Additional Comments:
The staff is wonderful, things that were asked for were gotten in a very expedious time frame. I was made comfortable at all times. Every staff person knew me by name.
