Fasting: ELCHANAN from Kay.x

Kay here;

THANK YOU very much - You bring to my attention important

considerations..

 

Supervision would be ideal but it all comes down to £$s.

 

I have spent two LONG peroids with LOREN LOCKMAN and his team.

In addition, attended one of Loren's seminars.

With my previous involvement in the Raw food Movement, this has given

me an INTRODUCTORY experience to the fasting procedure.

 

I therefore do understand about the crucial role of re-feeding -

Thanks to DR TIM TRADER who supervised one of my 3 week fasts, for

his excellent comitment at this time.

 

I admit that the conditions/environment in which I undergo this fast

are FAR from suitable, but I have important issues to face - Fasting

is THE CHOICE I make at this time.

Be it possible for my joining Loren in August for his relocation in

Panama, or to stay at another SUITABLE FASTING CLINIC then I would

attend gladly

 

Your reply gives me the information i require: TO COMPLETE A FURTHER

MONTH WITHOUT ANY AVOCADO. It was the answer I most expected..

 

I would like to speak to You directly via the method you describe.

However, it requires making an " APPOINTMENT " with my BROTHER and

YOURSELF.

This would likely be available on a SUNDAY.

I will speak to him about this, since EVENINGS would likely suit the

TIME DIFFERENCE?..

 

In any event I am set to go away on the 14th JULY and will LIKELY NOT

HAVE ACCESS TO A P.C FOR THE DURATION OF FASTING. (Neither would it

be very appropriate!)

 

Your TIME is PRECIOUS to US ALL. x

Along my path of Natural Lifestyle, I have noticed that TEACHERS of

NATURAL HYGIENE give of their TIME the MOST FREELY

 

Namaste

Kay
