Juice
Fasting to Restore Health
Testimony
by
Michele
At first people thought I was crazy and they laughed, but after they saw the transformation
of my health they weren't laughing anymore and instead ask what I did."
I am
30 years old, a single mother and have battled many, many health problems. I
have had a number of surgeries, and taken medication to no avail. My health
was quickly deteriorating and I was dying. I told my mother we needed to go
to a lawyer and have papers drawn up so she could take my place as a mother
to my children when I died. She refused and told me, "You will live and not
die!"
My mother and aunt finally convinced me to go the natural route since my
only other alternative literally was death. I began studying juice fasting.
I did a lot of research for several months before I actually attempted it. I
read and reread the Freedomyou site articles and testimonials. I prayed much
and sought God's will because when you know nothing about juice fasting or
how your body will react, it can feel scary.
My first juice fast lasted 7 days; I had set out to do 30 and didn't make
it. All the detoxing just threw my body for a loop. I waited a while and
then finished a 14 day juice fast. Next, I made it 21 days and eventually I
actually did a 30 day juice fast! During the 21 day juice fast, my bladder
completely healed and I haven't had a problem since! A miracle!
I have never felt so vibrant, clear minded and peaceful in all my life as when I
was juice fasting. It has changed my life, brought me closer to God and given me
such hope that I have a long life ahead of me. Of course,
at first people thought I was crazy and they laughed, but after they saw the transformation
of my health they weren't
laughing anymore and instead ask what I did.
I lost about 30 pounds and, at first, that was a big motivation along with
improved health. But just as I read, it's not the weight loss that
transforms you so much as the healing, the peace, and closeness to God.
So now, instead of being housebound with stiff muscles and dragging one
leg in chronic pain, I am currently writing my first book of how God has
brought me through a dry desolate place through sickness and disease, pain
and suffering, to a place of joy, better health and
hope for the future. I want to share my experience with
others and shed the light of hope that our bodies can heal.
In
all, over a 3 year period, I've lost 120 pounds but only about 30 pounds
were
from the recent juice fast. I've lost it slowly and healthily. I am very
thankful for Freedomyou and my journey in juice fasting. It will forever be
part of my life. If you've failed at juice fasting, use this motto that my
Grandma taught me: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!"
Joyfully Juicing

How many people, after all
the medications and operations simply give up, thinking there is nothing
more they can do. They give up and often die. Thank God Michele had a mother
who encouraged her to try the natural
route. Thanks Michele for sharing your inspirational story.
