fasting

January 17, 2008

In the past I did a 3 week medical approved fast of water only. I swear, the

physical symptoms of my chornic fatigue got better. This was 3 years ago. They

of course wanted me to stay on a complete VEgan eating, but i have slipped back

into my old ways. I am constantly in the " flu-like symptoms it seems lately.

If I work which is " cargiveing " older people...very stressful for me, I am sick

every day. I have to do the work because I will be homeless at this point if I

don't. But it is looking like I can't work either. Life is pretty miserable

and hopeless. I am thinking of putting the fasting clinic on the credit card

and going again for a month to see if I can get better so I can work, but i am

looking at bankruptcy soon after that I am 65, and can't get help from any

social services because I have an income from soc sec of $890. I fall through

the cracks. You cannot make that much. Of course even with medicare , I am

having to pay for a medicap program and a drug program or i won't get the

Klonozopan, and ambian that at least gets me some sleep along with a sleep apnea

machine!!!

I am going to have sell my house and try to get the energy to move which may be

to a trailer or RV (looks like the only possibility) if I can get my credit

cards to pay for it before going bankrupt. It is, of course, stressing my out

so much that I don't know if that is causing me to feel sicker.

Has anyone else ever done a medical fast (at a fasting facility with doctors,

etc that care and take care of you) and then stuck to a VEGAN diet and had good

results. It is very difficult to completely change to this way of eating

(causes stress itself because of all the preparation of veges and such instead

of just grabbing something when you feel like hell) but if I knew of others who

have had any success, it would help to push in that direction.
