SHALOM!

To succeed in Fasting, and anything arduous, you have to think of yourself as an ADULT.

POSTULATE STOICISM.

I was a Born Again Full-Gospel Christian for five years, before I learned that the nearly six weeks of Fasting done by our Lord was not some superhuman feat of stoicism, but a purely natural exercise anyone could emulate.

The existence of the primary Full-Gospel authority on Fasting, a founding+father of Modern Pentecostal Christianity, FRANKLIN CAREY HALL, was being deliberately kept from us.

. MATTHEW 4:1-4.

THEN was Jesus
led up of The Spirit
into the wilderness
to be tempted of The Devil.
2. And when he had fasted
forty days and forty nights,
he was AFTERWARD an hungred.

ABOUT THE TURN OF THE 20th CENTURY, ONE CHRISTIAN DOCTOR, NAMED TANNER, REALIZED THE TRUTH ABOUT YESHUA'S FAST, WHEN THE KEYWORD "AFTERWARD" STRUCK HIM.

People are raised to believe that they cannot exist without stuffing their faces several times a day.

That the hunger they experience after a few hours without food, will be compounded day-by-day, until one probably goes insane with it.

Anyone who has gone more than three days without eating knows this to be a lie.

By that time, the body ceases production of Gastric Juice, so that one no longer feels hungry.

Glycogen in the Bloodstream, Liver, and Muscles is depleted, starving the benign and parasitic Microbial Culture that depends on that unnecessary surplus, curing some diseases in the process, right there.

The body therefore begins converting its fat reserves into Glucose Fuel. There is only enough to support the Cells of the Body- Sicknesses and Diseases are not on the Guest List!

Cancer Cells consume 50 times more Glucose than other cells of the body. They do not do well in Fasts. Let that sink in.

Medical Science knows all about Fasting, at least at the very top. Doctors at the Ground Level are like Government Factory Workers assembling some Secret Weapon that only the Top Management know the Purpose and Final Form of.

Any lower-cadre Worker who figures it out has to be either promoted, or shot.

I am not exaggerating.

This happens A LOT.

If STEVE JOBS had known about WATER FASTING, he would still be alive today!

Imagine what it takes for a person of THAT level of INTELLIGENCE, EXPOSURE, and ORGANIZATION, to be KEPT IGNORANT of WATER-FASTING?

There is nothing funny about this. Your Doctor is never going to tell you to go and WATER-FAST; it is his or her JOB to keep you from knowing that that option exists. Get that straight!

A Western Medical Establishment Doctor is TRAINED to LET YOU DIE IN AGONY, rather than tell you that WATER-FASTING will cure you.

I don't care if this is your bosom-buddy, (*Bleep!*)-Buddy, PARENT, CHILD, or SPOUSE- the way you know whether they love YOU more than that HELL JOB is whether they tell you THE TRUTH about ALTERNATIVE CURES in general, and WATER-FASTING in particular.

There was TV Show about a gang of kids who one day find out that their beloved patents were actually criminal cultists together.

That's what it feels like, when you learn that people you know in the Medical Establishment have kept WATER-FASTING, above a trainload of other Good Stuff from you.

Doctors do a lot of good, and exhibit empathy and kindness.

This Hard Truth rubbishes that façade: a person who puts their job above your well-being is not your friend.

. MATTHEW 6:16-18.

16. "Moreover when ye Fast,
be not, as the Hypocrites,
of a sad countenance:
for they disfigure their faces,
that they may appear
unto men to Fast.
Verily I Say unto you,

'THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD.'

17. "But thou,
when thou Fastest,
anoint thine head,
and wash thy face;
18. "That thou appear not
unto men to Fast,
but unto thy Father
Which is in Secret:
and thy Father,
Which seeth in Secret,
shall Reward thee openly."

WHEN YOU FAST, NO ONE HAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

Act normal.

"Never complain; never explain."

"Do not talk about Fight Club."

This is how you build CHARACTER.

This is how you attain MATURITY.

This is how you build WILLPOWER.

With such WillPower you can do things with your Mind and Body that the Glutton will think impossible.

You have a Sports-Date with someone? Don't break it, because you are Fasting, unless you are going to scale cliffs, run Marathons, wrestle Hulks, or bench Trucks.

Those are activities for someone with healthy Glycogen Reserve Buffer.

Fasters can draw only so much energy at a time, if it I'd depleted, it is like suffocating your vital organs, and can kill you.

All someone has to know is that you are not up to your A-Game. That they beat, or failed to beat, someone who hadn't had a bite in three weeks is Need-to-Know only.

If you want people to know you Fast while you are Fasting, you should know that, apart from the Spiritual disadvantage- which may not be relevant to you- you should be prepared for the Mental Repercussions of letting people in on that aspect of your life, who are not themselves about that life.

When you are about that life, it is irritating to hear people go on-and-on about their mountaineering experience climbing a 6-inch K-2 in their backyard!

If you haven't made 72 hours, you have not started Fasting, yet!

How much less, when you haven't done 24 hours, yet, and have to give people a COUNTDOWN

That is horrible enough.

How about when someone says they are not sure whether they can make it?

I suppose there have been people who didn't make it?

The concept of someone whose SELF-DISCIPLINE and MATURITY is so poor, that they not only could not go 24 hours without eating and drinking, without complaining, but they could not go 24 hours at all, is appalling to me, and I cannot understand how it is not appalling to anyone else who does not have that weakness.

After my first 72 hour Fast it hit me: FEEDING IS AN ADDICTION.

There is a well-known Bible Story about a young man who sold his birthright for a meal.

To make sense, he would have had to have been without food for six weeks. THAT hunger can do that to you. If you can resist THAT, you can resist ANYTHING!

But the man in question could not have been without food for up to 168 hours.

How do we know that?

If he had been that long without food, he should have died from the meal he was given in exchange for his birthright.

From the description, he could not have been more than three days without food, otherwise he would not have been hungry.

This same man was indicted as a "Fornicator." He couldn't keep it in his kilt until he met the right woman. That is consistent with a man who never learned to control his appetites, but let his appetites control him.

Your life must be charmed if you don't know a single person who is "hooked" on Narcotics- Coffee, Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana, Heroin, Cocaine, etc.

When they tried to break these habits, it got ugly real fast- and they failed.

The reason why they failed was because THEY WERE EATING, AT THE SAME TIME THEY WERE TRYING TO GO OFF NARCOTICS!

If you want to break an EATING DEPENDENCY HABIT, you have to break THE ALL OF THEM AT ONCE, and then, afterward, decided which ones you want to continue.

You don't need a "TWELVE-STEP BRAINWASHING," "NICOTINE PATCHES" "METHODONE," and such expensive, time-consuming,molehill-mountaineering.

You just need to deprive them of FOOD for 72 hours. That ends ANY and ALL Addictions.

That is to say, the craving for those things is either ZERO, or at least at a level far beyond what can usurp your good sense and drive you to Use again.

It takes 240 hours of Fasting to thoroughly purge whatever it is that makes our bodies and brains tock, instead of tick.

After the Glycogen is depleted from one's body, it releases enzymes to convert BodyFat to energy. There are toxic Organic Chemical Wastes bonded to the BodyFat. Organic substances dissolve in Organic Oils, and not only Water, as do Polar Substances. Therefore Sugar can dissolve in both Water and Gasoline, while Salt cannot.

Those Organic Toxins are forced into the bloodstream, and will kill one the first week, unless enough water is drunk to enable their excretion through the lungs, skin, urine, and faeces. The minimum would be one-quarter gallon, or 1.25 litres.

A tipping-point is experienced about the 7th day, when the body starts excreting Toxic, performance-impairing Wastes faster than they are formed and released into the bloodstream.

One perceives this as not getting weaker from not eating.

By the 10-14th days, one's strength will have returned to 100% or even more. Stamina- the ability to sustain maximum effort cannot. It is dangerous to test that. If a Faster uses up energy more quickly than it can be converted, they are risking Organ-Failure by Starvation that is normally very difficult to induce.

Fasting that does not achieve this Tipping-Point is nothing to brag about.

Shorter Fasts should be undertaken to prepare one for the longer Fastings that will achieve significant gains.

Most important is learning how to break the Fast properly.

250mls 50% diluted Fresh Citrus Juice as meals, the first three days, is recommended to prevent the possibility of Ulcers from harmful Bacteria, such as H. pylori. This reawakens the Gastro-Intestinal Tract, and prepares it for normal food- by about the same length of time one Fasts. It is better to be too slow, than too fast.

Three days of full-strength Citrus Juice can be followed by three days of the actual fruit, then vegetable salads, then soft-boiled vegetables, then, finally, ordinary foods.

If difficulties are encountered, one should go back into Fasting and start the Break-Fast procedure again.

Remember: DISCIPLINE.
