Weight Loss: 140 lbs during a juice fasting of 40 days Juice fasting rejuvenated nerve damage

Fasting with water, juice and a complete diet of natural foods returned my health and freedom. My chronic hepatitis had become a crippling disease. At thirteen, I began drug abuse and years of serious addiction followed, and hepatitis became a serious problem, a very painful and frustrating illness. My liver deteriorated as the years progressed, causing my other filtering organs (kidneys and spleen) to be overworked, thus causing more pain and damage to them. A diet of natural foods combined with juice and water fasting My suffering lasted sixteen years. My liver was swollen to the size of a football. The largest cleansing organ is the liver, and does not have room for swelling. Swelling causes constant irritating pain which is felt from the rib cage to the stomach. It is impossible to forget hepatitis.
Life was dismal and hopeless. I was a 270 lbs. blob of fat, and I was a burned out drug addict coming off a massive intake of chemicals. To prevent my mind from losing its sanity, I needed 20 to 30 tranquilizers a day.
I had a hard time controlling my emotions. Nerves were like electrical wires on overload. In my desperation, I contacted Tom, a friend I did not see for years. He offered support and a place to stay.
After sleeping a few days, I awoke only to realize how grossly complicated my rebellious life had become. I had played the role of someone else for 20 years, someone tough, ruthless, and invincible. An empty barren soul remained. The flood of tears wouldn’t stop as I agonized over the loss of my family. I was a victim of my own demise and there was no one 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 listened to my sad story for several nights. My insides would have exploded if my all my pent up anguish had not found an outlet.
There were remarkable changes after 20 days of juice fasting. Although I was not cured, I continued fasting because of the results.
After 40 days of juice fasting, the unstable sickly man became a healthy, vibrant free-spirited soul. My self-esteem began to rebuild gradually as I shed 100 pounds. Retention of large amounts of body fluids caused the excessive bloating. The damaged liver prevented the release these fluids. Whatever caused the bloating was healed, my weight dropped to 170 lbs after the 40 days of juice fasting. The swelling of my liver completely disappeared. My mind had clarity and stability. I no longer needed tranquilizers after so many years. I was wrong when I believed that permanent damage was caused by drugs.
If a butterfly could speak of the changes from a crawling insect into a colorful graceful creation, its words would be those burning in my heart. What drugs took away was given back.
The power of addiction was broken by juice fasting, prayer, the grace of God, and the love of a friend. It has brought me closer to God in spirit than ever before.
