The Need for Diet Commitment

Fateh Srajeldin N.D.*

During the first visit I do emphasize the importance to adhere to the steps required to carry the body into good health. The body’s need to free itself from symptoms such as pain, aches, inflammation, headaches, muscle contractions and cramp cannot be overlooked or played down. The bottom line is, if you intend to become healthy do what it takes to retrieve your health at full thrust of commitment. It is very difficult to achieve proper health part-time at our convenience and leisure.

Attempting to help your body to recover from its ailments needs your full attention. All patients are treated by combining five parallel pathways:

1. Diet, most mandatory;
2. Remedies, support diet and increase vitality;
3. Therapies combine diet and remedies;
4. Optimize water intake to 8 glasses of water per day , ½ hour before meals, one hour after meals or between meals but never with meals; and
5. Exercise daily, without any excuse.

This reaction of the healing crisis is the goal of your treatment. It will shake the body and for the first time the patient will feel true energy as the healing crisis subsides.

Effective healing occurs when you commit to all five paths and follow through as I guide you. After the first visit, it is mandatory to have a progress check 10 to 14 days after the initial visit. This is to ensure that healing is occurring properly. If at any point an emergency arises, call the clinic immediately. The road to recovery will pass a station called healing crisis.

Healing Crisis

Healing crisis, a station every patient will sooner or later arrive at, is an intense reaction simulating disease process in response to therapeutic stimulation. The stimulation vector is aimed to a direction opposite to the direction of disease. Healing crisis will drive its vector in the direction of total health. The drive towards total health will continue as long as the force of therapy continues in the same direction, until the goal of health is reached, hence the need for commitment.

Healing crisis is the turning point from disease attitude into well being and health attitude. It is a common and anticipated reaction triggered by one or all of the following:

- Detoxification process triggered by treatment;
- Disturbing the disease process by an intensified treatment;
- Stopping toxicity process;
- Building up the body’s vital force;
- Fungus presence and its possible reaction to anti-fungal treatment.

In mathematical language, this is 180 degree turn in the opposite direction of disease into health. This reaction of the healing crisis is the goal of your treatment. It will shake the body and for the first time the patient will feel true energy as the healing crisis subsides.

When a disease enters the body, it starts as follows;

Health > Acute Symptoms > Sub-acute Symptoms > Chronic Symptoms

However, when the healing crisis is triggered the above process will be reversed by law of natural treatment as follows:

Chronic Symptoms > Sub-acute Symptoms > Acute Symptoms > Health

The process as outlined above is mandatory for complete and total healing. The healing crisis will start from the day when full treatment is implemented at the maximum disease point moving towards health state.

Once the healing process is triggered, it proceeds into the direction of health. This process must pass through old symptoms that were improperly treated in the past using suppressing agents, medications or chemicals. These toxins, remedies and chemicals will remain in the body until such time as complete and proper treatment is applied.

After being suppressed and while persisting in the body, these old suppressed symptoms will create newly unrelated symptoms. To treat a person with these symptoms, old medications and toxins must be removed from the body. It must be understood, that if these symptoms, medications or toxins were in the digestive tracts, it would be removed with the least effort or least complications of the healing crisis.

On the other hand, if these symptoms were located in the blood system or in the internal organs, they would have one way out of the body - the kidney system. Should the size of the toxins, medications and symptoms exceed the kidney’s capacity, they will seek other channels out. By doing so, newly developed symptoms in the body would develop, triggering the healing crisis. In this case these symptoms will expose and exert the roughest and most difficult symptoms experienced by the patient prior to treatment’s initiation under healing crisis principles.

This process will unearth old suppressed symptoms which the patient has had in the past. These symptoms may range from severe headaches, flu symptoms, lethargy to nausea, light headedness and diarrhea. Some patients will passively stroll through it and others will linger a little longer. The main factor that would determine the length of healing crisis is disease chronicity. Therefore the goal of any treatment is to pass through healing crisis as quickly and as soon as possible.

Healing crisis will return if once old habits are embraced again. There are several factors which will prolong the duration of the healing crisis, such as;

• Interrupting your treatment;
• Exposure to mental and/or physical stress;
• Taking synthetic drugs;
• Weaker constitution of the patient;
• The presence of Candida (yeast); and
• Ingestion of sugar, coffee, liquor and beer.

Therefore, I ask my patients for:

• Commitment which is complete and devoted to their body, especially during the beginning of the treatment;
• Commitment to feed their body a healthy diet, enough water, exercise, apply treatments as required;
• Commitment to give their body the chance to attempt to get healthier.
