[NOTE: Even though the majority of FCI clients, worldwide, currently
do our patented Total Detoxification Program (chronological-age
number + 17, in number of actual juice-fasting days, plus 5
transitioning days on each to intelligent enter, and then skillfully
break their fast), some clients, because of other engagements,
choose to initially do a shorter Program, later completing their total
detoxification with a longer Program. Such was the case with a
54-year-old Arizona client who, as with many whose notoriety
threatens their privacy, has chosen to use only her initials: "I am very
excited to start my 20-day fast, and if it is as successful as I expect
it to be, I will be back for a longer one (with my husband, probably)
after our trip to Maui." What amazes such clients is that
they are able to accomplish so much, even in FCI's shorter
Programs, as she explains here, post-fast.]
"Hi, Dennis: Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you with my
impressions and results of undertaking your 20-day Program; but, in
a way, hindsight of two months' duration is valuable in itself!
"I decided to try your 20-day Program
for several reasons in common with most others who have entered
your fasts (to increase energy, lose weight, stop cravings for
sweets and other junk food, rid my body of toxins, improve mental
clarity), and I must say that all of these goals were
achieved. However, the most important benefit I hoped to
gain from fasting was relief from a year-long chronic sinus condition
that had resisted all sorts of traditional and non-traditional
treatment.
"I was facing the (unacceptable) thought
of surgery to remove nasal polyps that were part of the problem.
My nose was constantly "stuffed," and the possibility of sleeping
comfortably required taking nasal spray which was temporarily
effective, but left me ultimately worse from its "rebound" effect. I
was ready to try almost anything when I found your
Website.
"The results of completing your 20-day
fasting Program are better than I dared to hope! My sinuses are at
least 90% better; I can breathe freely practically all the
time; have needed no nasal spray since the fast, and at my
recent annual visit to my allergist, the doctor commented that the
polyps were "small" (no surgery recommended). And, for some
reason, my asthma is better than it has been in 10 or 12
years!
"I would, without hesitation, recommend
your fasting Programs to anyone who wants to take
responsibility for his/her own health. It does require discipline, but I
found it easier than I anticipated, chiefly because of Dennis's
knowledge and support. He was there immediately to
answer any question or concern I had. (Indeed, sometimes his e-mail
answers seemed to appear almost before I had sent the inquiry!! I
wonder how he does that?)
