FASTING CONSULTANT REMOVES UNNECESSARY WEIGHT, DEPRESSION & SUICIDAL IDEATION

   [NOTE: Suicide is a heavily-loaded term, fraught with all manner of negative value judgments, especially in the West. Hence, few adults will openly admit having entertained it. The naked truth, however, is that nearly every adult contemplates suicide at one time or another, to varying degrees, over the course of her or his lifetime. Those who claim otherwise are either incredible (in that word's classical meaning--too unusual or improbable to be believed), self-delusional, or are strolling through this deeply-suffering world with rose-colored blinders. Even more sadly, it is now not just adults. In today's America, for example, fully two-thirds of teenagers suffer suicidal ideation (our kids, as we know, aren't yet sophisticated enough to lie about such things to polling shrinks).
   For anyone still inclined to look askance at her sisters and brothers admitting suicidal ideation, such intellectual disingenuousness often masks a mere confusion of degrees. Ben Franklin, American statesperson, scientist, inventor and writer, saw through this global conundrum: "Life is slow suicide. Nine humans in ten are suicides." Likewise, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, the Hungarian-born American biochemist who won a Nobel Prize for his discoveries relating to biological combustion, in addition to being the very first to isolate vitamin C, seconded Franklin's observation: "Very few people know what real health is, because most are occupied with killing themselves slowly."
   With precious few dying among us today of natural causes, the staggering majority who are everywhere working at killing themselves slowly--with unskillful dietary and/or lifestyle choices, not to mention addictions to health-destroying drugs such as alcohol and nicotene--are hardly in a position to judge those thinking of speeding the process. Yet as both approaches are a kind of violence against oneself, and as everyone's life is inherently sacred, FCI has worked for 35 years, on a global scale, in helping such kindred souls transcend both of these faulted, short-sighted, often anger-driven approaches.
   Albert Camus, the French writer (born in Algeria) who died in 1960 at age 47, called suicide "the first philosophical question." In other words, before we can address any of life's other great, overarching uncertainties, we must first ask ourselves if we truly wish to be here. Once we answer yes, of course, we can begin our journey toward unlocking life's other great, historical enigmas. One noble soul who did both recently at FCI is a 41-year-old consultant with an international executive search firm in Fort Worth, TX, who'd begun her recently-completed, 70-day Total Detoxification Program overweight, depressed, and, at times, suicidal, having failed repeatedly on "diets, diet pills, and also FatGrabbers," wanting to lose 40 unnecessary pounds.]

    "Two months ago, I was searching the Internet for migraine remedies for one of my close friends, when I happened upon FCI's website. I believe everything happens for a reason, and it was destiny that lead me to your site. I was grossly overweight, severely depressed, and at times, even suicidal. My doctor had just done a complete blood workup on me, and had referred me to an endocrinologist in an attempt to figure out why I was continuing to gain weight. At my age, most doctors just want to blame everything that is wrong on menopause and the fact that I am female, which is a crock.

    "After reading through the information on FCI's website, I decided to embark upon this new adventure. I signed up for the Total Detoxification Program,which was actually a 70-day program, in my case. I truly believe that FCI helped save my life. Now, two months later, I have lost 40 unnecessary pounds, my cholesterol level has dropped from 172 to 113 in only 60 days, and I now look and feel like a new person. I've had so many people comment on how "skinny" I'm getting, and some of them have been curious as to how I dropped so much weight (40 pounds) so quickly.

    "This program, without a doubt, was the very best thing I could have ever done for myself! I saw my grandmother during my son's birthday party last Saturday, and she just couldn't believe how good I looked. She said, "Well, obviously, whatever you have been doing is healthly, because your eyes and skin look great!" I now have an entire wardrobe of clothes to wear that I haven't been able to get into for years. I now feel like a new person, inside and out!

    "If you are thinking about signing up for one of FCI's program, stop right now and just do it. I promise, it will be the best experience of your lifetime.

    "Dennis, thank you is not enough for all you have done for me. I will always cherish these weeks we have been together on-line, and also wish you the very best. Your Texas friend, Sherry Michener

"P.S. I will turn 42 next week, and this is the best birthday present I have ever received."
