[FCI NOTE: With today's globalization
enhanced by this mighty Internet, college students the world over are
discovering they're not that different. Like all other human beings,
they simply want to find ways to end their suffering, and discover peace
and happiness that actually last. Following in the footsteps of all our
species' greatest spiritual teachers, as well as those of nearly all our
greatest thinkers plus all three Fathers of Western Medicine, more college
students, worldwide, are being led by their intuitive wisdom to Fasting
Center International every year, most not unlike Sheralyn Cargill of Perth
in Western Australia, who began her 50-day Total Detox. Program at 5' 3",
143 lbs., wanting to lose her unnecessary weight and sugar addiction, and
discover not only more intelligent dietary and lifestyle habits, but also
a way to actually take a closer walk with God. Here is her testimonial
written during her transition back onto solid foods, after having the
courage and discipline to actually FOLLOW the examples of Christ and so
many other great Christian teachers in fasting 40 days]:
"My Dearest Dennis: Well, here I am,
on my transitioning out and boy, What a journey! My Total Detox. Program
has got to be the most incredible thing I have ever done for myself, and
the best thing I have ever done for my health and well-being. My skin is
clear and dewy; my eyes are bright and clear; my hair is shiny and soft,
and I feel a clearness in the brain/mind like never before. My skin used
to be chronically oily; I had to wash my long hair every single day. No
more! Upon reviewing my Goals Statement, I am IMPRESSED! I have
accomplished so much more than I set out to do!
"Before I began the Program, I used to
have some insomnia, and every morning, I would get up, but not wake up for
hours--even after a shower. After two days on this Program, there was a
remarkable difference. I woke up, without an alarm, and I was alert and
switched on, before I even got out of bed! The realisation that I had been
waking up each morning in the equivalent of a toxin/pesticide/preservative
hangover, was profound. Now, I can barely remember what that felt like. In
fact, it's easy to forget that I ever woke up any other way!
"One of the major things I wanted this
Program to help me with was a total diet change. My whole life--despite my
parents best efforts when I was a child--I never ate fruit, and hardly any
veggies. . .just potatoes (maccas fries!) and corn. I hated salads. Well!
At first, I choked the fruits down, but by the time I started fasting, I
actually missed them. Veggies were less of a problem, as I had been working
on integrating more of those, but I was not used to raw veggies, and was not
as keen on their taste. However, I had a feeling towards the end of my fast
that my taste buds were effectively being reset, and boy was I right! I had
never eaten an apple before, but when I finally ate one, post-fast, I liked
it. Likewise, salads are now incredible! I just love the taste of
everything. . .so delicious and fresh! My lifelong friends and parents (who
had always hounded me about my eating habits) are in shock. They just cannot
believe it. I can't wait to try things I never would have touched before,
Vegetarian options on menus now look delicious. I am forever changed!
"All up, I lost about 15 kilos, which is just
right. It felt like my body was sculpting itself into the form it should be. Not
muscle definition, of course; that can only be achieved with weight training, which
I now have the energy to do! But, it now just looks like 'me' in the mirror again.
I can fit into my old clothes again, and the newer ones just hang off me.
"It's amazing, the variety of unexpected ways
I can feel the benefits: the myriad of niggling physical things that were starting
to pile up, have vanished, from muscular aches from sleeping funny, to odd pains,
flatulence and skin blemishes, plus more.
"Spiritually, I had always thought there was
more inside my own head, if only I could get through to it. Well, the fog has
lifted. I am a 'God within' type, so to be able to see more clearly inside my own
mind than ever before, is an incredibly wonderful and humbling experience. . . something
that is very hard to describe, but I wish all could experience it.
"Overall, it is like my whole being has had a
giant reset button pushed--Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit. I have a wonderful chance
to start anew, and should I need several starts, I have learned this skill, to use
whenever I need, and Dennis and FCI will always be there, should I need an extra
push, or a little more guidance.
"Dennis, I cannot thank you enough for helping
me to be/find the person I really am and want to be. Your infinite patience, wisdom
and guidance are nothing short of incredible and inspiring. We need more like you
in this world. Words cannot adequately express how honored I am to have been touched
by your presence. I only wish I could thank you in person. Love Love, Sheralyn."
