A diet of natural foods combined with juice and water fasting returned my health. The disease crippling me was chronic hepatitis. At thirteen, I began drug abuse and years of serious addiction followed, and I got hepatitis, a frustrating and painful illness. Deterioration of my liver progressed as the years followed, my other filtering organs (kidney and spleen) were caused to be overworked, thus damaging them, causing even more pain. Fasting with water and fruit and vegetable juices and a diet high in raw foods My suffering lasted sixteen years. The swelling of my liver was to the size of a football. The largest cleansing organ is the liver, and does not have space for swelling. A constant irritating pain is felt from the rib cage to the stomach when swelling occurs. Hepatitis is unforgettable as the irritation is constant.
Life was dismal and without hope. I weighed 270 pounds, a burned out addict desperately to rid myself of a massive chemical intake. I needed 20 to 30 tranquilizers a day so I would not lose my sanity.
I had a hard time controlling my emotions. I felt my nerves were overloaded electrical wires. I did not know what to do, so I phoned Tom, a friend I did not see for years. He wanted to help me and I moved into his house.
After sleeping a few days, I woke up realizing how my life had become grossly complicated by my rebellion. I had lived an illusion for the last 20 years; a person who was ruthless, tough and invincible. An empty soul was the hollow reminder of a wasted life. I agonized over the loss of my family and I was flooded in tears , it wouldn't' stop. A victim with only me to blame. My life was now a massive depression and I thought moving in with Tom would help, seeing painful reality was something I could not stop. Tom stayed up several nights listening to my sad story. My insides would have exploded if my all my pent up anguish had not found an outlet.
The changes were remarkable after 20 days of juice fasting. I continued the fast because of the result even if I was not cured.
After 40 days of juice fasting, the unstable sickly man became a healthy, vibrant free-spirited soul. Losing 100 pounds boosted my self-esteem. Retention of large amounts of body fluids caused the excessive bloating. The damaged liver prevented the release these fluids. My weight dropped to 170 lbs after the 40 days of juice fasting, the cause of the bloating had healed. The swelling of my liver completely disappeared. My mind was clear and stable. I no longer needed tranquilizers after so many years. I sincerely thought drugs had done permanent damage to my brain. I was wrong.
If a butterfly could communicate of the metamorphosis of changing from a crawling insect, into a colorful and graceful creation, its words would those of my heart. What drugs took away was given back.
Juice fasting has freed me from a tremendous addiction. I am now closer to God than ever before.
