FASTING WRITER IN BUDAPEST, 68, AVOIDS NASAL POLYP SURGERY, LOSES EXCESS WEIGHT & GAINS MENTAL CLARITY!

   [NOTE: Emmanuel Elliott, 68, a writer living in Budapest, Hungary, had already suffered one surgery for nasal polyps. However, when they grew right back--causing him to lose both his ability to smell and taste--he listened to his doctor recommend another surgery, but instead chose to more intelligently address their causes, which allopathic medicine does not. In just one month of scientific fasting at FCI, he saw "enough improvement to suggest that when I am able to do the Total Detoxification Program recommended by FCI's Director, there is every reason to hope for a complete reversal of this problem." After doing FCI's 40-day Program with his wife, 58, who did our 50-day, he offered the following for all suffering similarly who may be considering doing this marvelous, self-improvement technique.]

    "As a 68-year-old writer and retired marketing and advertising man, I found my way to FCI in search of help with a digestive problem. The more I researched the Program, the more I came to realize that I had stumbled upon a rather remarkable resource, one that clearly represented a safe means of losing some weight and that might even play a part in dealing with my recurring nasal polyps. I was also open to the possibility of experiencing a heightened spiritual awareness. For all these reasons, I decided to give it a go, opting at this stage for the 40-day Program.

    "Regarding my weight, a couple of years ago, I sought manfully to divest myself of a paunch, exercising as much as I could and cutting out all those little treats that, I now realize, helped to make up for my deficiencies in the taste and smell departments. After six months of that, I had lost a woefully inadequate 8 lbs. This time, however, my relatively short FCI Program resulted in the effortless shedding of more than 20 lbs. of unnecessary weight. I haven't been this slim in decades!

    "Was the experience a cakewalk (no pun intended)? Not exactly, even though I had thought it would be, having for more than 40 years practiced an annual month's fast for religious reasons. Although not really hard, there were certainly days when it was quite challenging. Around day 10, for example, aspects of my nature felt distinctly trapped, longing for it to be over, but knowing I had to stay true to my commitment. In my previous fasts, I had never had to confront the forces within me that lay behind my sugar addiction, since I had always indulged my sweet tooth during those 'hours of darkness.' That I now had to do so, on FCI's Program (where NO solids or addictions are permitted) was salutary and immensely valuable.

    "As to the nasal polyps, by the end of my Program, there was enough improvement to suggest that when I am able to do the Total Detoxification Program recommended by FCI's Director, there is every reason to hope for a complete reversal of this problem. I sincerely believe that this is so.

    "Am I glad it's over? Yes and no, as there's a sadness at the discernible loss of the undoubtedly improved clarity of thought which progressively increased with the experience. I console myself, however, with the knowledge that this precious resource is now mine to call upon at any time, and I know, God willing, that I will gratefully embrace it again and again in the years to come.

    "This short offering would not be complete without mentioning Dennis Paulson, the Founder and Director of FCI. His knowledge and expertise are boundless; his support, total and constant. I can honestly say that I don't think I have ever come across anyone so powerfully at the top of his or her game than this remarkable individual, nor anyone who more effectively and convincingly walks his talk.

    "I would recommend the FCI Program to anyone as a cornerstone in the rebuilding of good health. God bless and happy fasting! Emmanuel Elliott, Budapest, Hungary

    "[FCI NOTE: A year and a half later, Emmanuel would email FCI to say, in part: "The improvement to the nasal polyps has remained constant."]
