FASTING ENHANCES FINANCIAL SUCCESS

[FCI NOTE: Often, when considering cleansing/weight-loss fasts with FCI, professionals who earn their livelihood dealing with clients or patients will ask how this magnificent cleansing might affect their relationships with others, especially in the business worlds in which they spend so much of their waking life. The following example speaks to this excellent question. . .from a 43-year-old financial planner who owns his own business in Florida, where he lives a block from the ocean. Outside his business world, he's an avid windsurfer, having made seven pilgrimages to that wonderful sport's Mecca in Maui, Hawaii. Randy Sarrow began his 40-day Program in October, just as Florida's windsurfing season was starting, very curious as to how it would impact his energy level, as his normal sailing sessions are three to four hours, spread throughout the day.]

Dear FCI/Dennis: I will fast again in the near future, probably in Feb. '97, as I am going skiing in Colorado. I do intend to do the number of actual fasting days required for total detoxification--60 (my chronological age number, plus 17).

Besides windsurfing, where my energy level was not a problem, I have been doing minimal working out and some running, with no lack of energy. I have these barbells that weigh 17 lbs. each, and I just stopped to think that my body was carrying around one of those every day, unnecessarily! What a relief, to exist without that extra weight.

I do feel my first fast was a success. I have noticed that my mind is clearer, my wit sharper, and I'm feeling more calmness than pre-fast (probably from no caffeine). I proved to myself that I have more discipline than I gave myself credit for. Additionally, I achieved a number of new realizations about my diet, myself, and my path in life.

For example, on the 15th day of my actual juice-fast, I had a second meeting with a new client who opened a substantial account. She was not a client before the second meeting, but became one after observing the different vibes I was projecting. She made a remark to me that my "demeanor was different" from the first time we met (several weeks earlier), that I had this "sense of calmness" about me now which, in turn, made her feel very comfortable. She comitted to a six-figure investment.

This fast is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, giving me a new sense of well-being and confidence. Prior to the fast, my fat deposits were not a health risk, but I had considered having them surgically removed. Such is the condition of the better part of the people in this country--the majority are fat! Never again for me. (Not that I was fat, but I felt like I was on the way.)

Instead of surgery, I decided to see if fasting would dissolve my fat deposits. My weight reduced from 170 to 148. My body-fat reduced by at least half. My fatty deposits have reduced by two-thirds. I now see that the American medical community is too dependent upon prescribing often-unnecessary surgery and drugs for cures, rather than preventative diets and natural-healing methods.

I now have more energy, and a much clearer mind and sense of purpose than prior to the fast. During this fast, I noticed my attitude changing about many things, as the experience tends to make you re-think your past positions on a number of issues. Now, post-fast, I am being quiet conscious and aware of what I am putting into my body, from this point on, as well as taking vitamins, minerals, etc. I found the ALL-ONE recommended in FCI's LIFETIME OPTIMUM-HEALTH PLAN, at the organic market down the street. I intend to use it religiously.

I accomplished something I did not think was possible just a few weeks ago. I could not be more pleased with the results. I want to thank you for your moral support and inspiring messages, Dennis. I hold a deep respect for you and your mission, and am happy that I could make a contribution, to FCI, as well as everyone else who doesn't know what they're missing! For those wishing to lose weight, fasting is, without a doubt, the best way to initially lose, then maintain desired weight with proper diet. One does not need to be a doctor or rocket scientist to figure this out!

If I can be of help, please let me know. Your friend, Randy M. Sarrow

P.S. It has been quite windy here the last week, and I have noticed that my windsurfing, over the past few weeks, has taken on a new dimension. First, I believe I have improved a notch in control, technique, balance, etc. Translation: I am sailing better! Second, my appreciation of the beauty of this unique sport is not something I take for granted anymore. I am truly blessed, for being able to participate in this wonderful sport at an advanced level.
