staying at fasting retreat on Big Island, HI

Arriving to Pohiki beach I saw Dr. Nick waiting for me....we connected very well then had a chat on the ocean waters.  Nick makes you feel very comfortable and is very humble with all his experiences and education.

The location for fasting is surrounded by lava rocks and 10minute walk to water access (tidepools).  He has a small pool onsite.  The house is two stories with huge decks outside your rooms for nude sunbathing.  Nick checks in with you daily and takes vitals.

I would say that this may be one of the better locations ever and the confidence i feel as a beginning faster is very high with Nick who is so easily accessible daily.  He also gives amazing body work too for $60/hour.

Nick had away to reassure me and help me continue on day 5 when I really wanted to break my fast early.
My main reason to fast was to get rid of a staff infection that has lingered for 9weeks, and to heal a sprained ankle, and to experience a massive challenge and discomfort (as my life is too easy), and seeing myself super lean was also an added bonus!  All this has happened by the end of day 6, now I must continue one more day just to be sure...its not easy, be strong and commit... It sure helps to have a good friend to fast with you, I have one this time and we usually have our conversations during our water only meals.

www.hawaiianfastingretreats.com is so affordable for what you get (approx. 100/day at this time, so hurry here)...Hawaii is amazing...save some time to explore after your refeeding!

eating very good fruits in Oregon...

I want to find someone that can send me "AKEE" asap....I hear its in south florida, if you have any contacts please advise.

today I feasted on sweet succulent Canteloup, amazing seeded grapes, and sungold tomatos and huge bowl of sticky wet Medjools from Datepeople.

I have been folowing my evening meal with a few raw Brasil nuts, they are pretty nice.  I feel they are fresh and truly raw, but not so sure...i got them at the Raw spirit festival in Arizona.  I do feel better lately eating less nuts and avocados.  MOst of my nutrition is coming from juicy fruits and DATES.

It feels like Ive been eatin 100% fruitarian for a few years now.  I have had a few slip ups.  The last two slip ups are from eating raw salty food.  1.  raw salsa with onions and peppers..2. raw cashew cheese with salt, oil, garlic, onion.  I had a 3 day reaction of stuffy nose, runny nose, sore throat.....I am happy to know that I am clean now and get these reactions to remind me to stay on course with naturaly hygienic food!
