Jim: I found that I was fairly susceptible to flues, and that every year I'd get a flu. Now, I've only been off the fast about three months now so, it's hard for me to know the real effects in my body.

But what I'm noticing in our society is that there are more and more adaptations of diseases. You have some very powerful flues and other diseases that are coming into sight, I read about them all the time, and I think part of that is the fact that there's more people in the world and the fact that they're a lot more mobile.

So I think that, my personal belief is that being healthy and having the right amount of calories in you, and not excessive, and certainly not sugar, which is a base, uh uh or, a product that helps cancer quite a bit is gonna be really important. You know, to me it is and I think to anybody that wants to live a long life and have good quality of life.

Question: When you were going through the fast time, um, what was the most difficult part for you?

Jim: The most difficult part for me was that lunches were part of my um, my social business atmosphere. So I'd go to lunch with people and talk about business, talk about life, and I really missed that social aspect.

So what I would do in a handful of cases I went out, and I would just have tea when I was on the fast so that's how I dealt with that. But I did miss, I did miss that experience of being with people and talking with them, you know it's a great part of life.

Question: And, but did you miss it so much that you just said “Oh, forget it, I'm just gonna do it" or, or, were you, were you feeling the benefits where it kept you strong on "I'm feeling so good I'm just going to stick with this?"

Jim: You know the thing about a fast, well see there's this. The thing about dieting is this: That we all eat as part of survival and as part of pleasure and social, and so when I decided that I needed to lower my weight, previous I would eat better for a short while but I wouldn't see much gain, much benefit I should say where I lost weight and had gotten healthier.

So, the beauty of doing a fast is that you get results so quickly that you know you're tracking, you know you're making progress and you're rewarded by those things, so you don't reach for food as a reward. And that's what I discovered, I lost weight and size so quickly, that I could see benefits and there was uh, there was a reward where I didn't need to quit and go get food for a reward.

I had a reward and that was that I was working towards a goal, and and uh, uh, it was a blend of benefits that was just great. You know it was, my pants were fitting better as well as I was healthier and I could sense that healthiness in me.

Question: And, um, what has helped you keep the weight off after losing that much weight and so quickly?

Jim: Oh, well, I've chosen to, to eat healthier, you know I, I, I won't say…

Question: Was that a difficult choice?

Jim: No. I want to say that I haven't been always maintaining as healthy as I did the first month afterwards. You know, the truth is uh, that I've gone to a balance. But it's always there in my mind, when I go to the store, everything that I buy, I look at from health point of view. Um, about once a week, I'll go to a restaurant and I'll have whatever I want to.

And for the most part, day in and day out, I'm comfortable and it's natural, it seems natural and right to eat healthy. And I think that's the important thing about fasting is that it uh, you know the body adapts so quickly, you know if you, if you eat junk food it'll crave junk food, I found that if you eat good food it will crave good food. Over a period of time you will adapt and it'll become more natural and your mind will say "okay, this person wants to be healthy, wants to eat healthy, that's what they should be eating" and that was my experience.

Jim: I do recommend, I have referred people here, I mean some of my friends have started here. Because they were stuck, uh because they were both women, they were women that had been very attractive in there lives but they had, as they lived they had gained the weight and they were stuck, they just couldn't get it off, they couldn't change their food long enough, and change their habits long enough and change their desires long enough to stay on a program of health and make health the focus of their eating life.

And so, both of them have gone on it and both of them had great results and both look much better. You know the interesting thing is that in both of them not only did their bodies get smaller but their faces, their skin cleared up, their skin looked better.

You know the tone and quality of their skin changed. Even the um, there's so many things that you get from a healthy fast where it clears up the negative things, the debris in your system, it also you know your body energy, your overall body chi energy is improved, and it shows in your face and people comment and that's great, that's great that people compliment you out of the clear blue.

Question: Okay, um is there anything else that you would like to talk about?

Jim: Well we could talk about this, I'm just trying to think how we would say it, so it flows. And that is um, one of the things about life I've found is that we all get habits and those habits tend to form um, they tend to control us after awhile.

You know, we'll say I don't want to do that anymore, and whatever that habit is then we are doing it again, whether it's drinking too much coffee or to much coke or any variety of things. And when you fast what happens is you tell your body "I'm going to control part of my body." And when you get control of one part, at some level in the subconscious you realize you can control other parts and make other decisions. Um, I could say that, you know.

Question: Well, you just did! *Laughs*

Question: It's really that, um A: a commitment to do it. But B: its not a difficult program to go through. You're not having to, cravings of "oh my god, I'm starving, I'm dying here." At least, I didn't have that, for you what was it?

Jim: Right. Well, I wasn't. But you know what happens with the product that you're drinking each day, is that the product is a pre-digestive product. So I think that what it does is it addresses that part of the mind chemically, uh nutritionally. That allows the mind to go "oh no, I'm okay. I'm not starving."

Its you know, starvation is like pain, its part of the body’s survival system, your body is designed to tell you if you're making a mistake that's threatening it. But, this pre-digested, or uh excuse me, its not pre-digested it's a pre-ferment, its a fermented, to your uh, fermented product is so digested that the body doesn't have to go into digestion. It continues in its rest and it continues with the ability to, to extract the nutrients that it needs to feed a process, to feed an energy to have the mental acuity that you need to do your job and live day in, day out.

In the two week time period I had, um probably about half a day, maybe a day that I felt a little bit hungry, and it was only about ten or eleven days into it. Saying "You know, I kinda feel a little bit hungry." But it was really pretty faint and even that went away and I and I attribute that really to, uh to the product. I also know that when you do fast after about five or six days, it is normal for your hunger pangs to start to drop off, and that's a standard part of physiology too.

Question: Have you ever done a cleansing before, and if not, how is your body feeling?

Jim: I have done a cleanse program but it was about uh, a five day cleanse program. And I felt um more hungry on that program day in and day out and I um, and I did notice that I had high energy as I did in this program, which was some what of a surprise because I didn't anticipate that.

In fact I was concerned. I'm thinking, you know, no food, no energy or no food, muscles can't operate you know as efficiently. When in fact, if you have some, you know the reserves that the body has and the combination with the product that you're drinking, um worked great. And of course I had plenty of reserves, so I had that going for me.
