Chris, welcome back !
Please , take care of yourself , you have been missed here ! If it wasnt for you , I would have never made it through my first 2-3 fasts last year. I owe you so much ! I wish we can help you now when you need some support !

Best wishes for full recovery & Godspeed for you,
Vidda

I was wondering where you were. Glad you're doing better! As the others have said, you have been so helpful on this forum. I remember when I first joined this site a few years ago and was embarking on this Water Fasting journey and was clueless you were very helpful to me. I appreciated that, so thank you! You'll get through this darkness. I wish you continued health and happiness. Take it easy, God bless.

Chris,

Welcome back! I was personally very concerned about you, since I know how important this labor is for you, so I was thinking,"He surely is under a life test" and prayed for you. I am very happy to see you back.

You are really the soul of this forum. If you read the previous posts you will notice it has been changing into something we did not want it to be.

I believe the purpose of this forum is fasting for health. However, fasting can be used to lose weight, and there is another forum in Curezone for that purpose alone. Nothing wrong to fast to lose weight (but to consider this as a nice byproduct of fasting). This forum is the only forum in Curezone that considers the real process in depth. And that, because of you, Chris.

Our sweet Chiron and Mighty, and others, have tried their best to guide us in that process. Needless to say we have all missed your guidance.

My best wishes for you.

Chris, I am so sorry to hear that you've been going through such difficulty. I had wondered about 'burnout', as perhaps have others; many of us have misssed you, and your unfailingly balanced approach in making NH known and understood *comprehensively*, which has been such a great service to others who've come upon this forum,new to Water Fasting AND Natural Hygiene.

I consider myself blssed to have happened upon the place when you were so much the heart of it.

Many times in the past several months I would teeter between a nagging concern over your well-being, and the sense that perhaps you had simply done enough, and were ready to get on with your book, or maybe living the life of a retired racehorse-- :-) with some good, God-given grass underfoot, and a stainless sky above.

"You are not a carthorse Christopher, but only merely a racehorse" is a wonderfully warm and insightful observation,
full of paradox, as life is,(thank you for sharing it with us!).

It does not suggest 'feebleness' to me at all, but a kind of evanescent brilliance of the flesh: what this body can accomplish. We DO all burn away at that level, like the morning mist, but what a lot of good we bring before -and between- us. I will not go and get too metaphysical on you. :-)

But prayersm yes, You will stay in my prayers for a complete recovery, and many more years of unfoldment.

I understand the experience of being incapacitated, of the two-ended candle, nervous exhaustion, and of not being able to communicate about it at the time of being amid it. Very glad you have seen your way through it to some greater degree. I have gone through it myself. Notably, at the age of 33. I'm now 53.

For so long you were always available here to to others.
There is a wealth of good available here to anyone who wants to search for it. I would like to see some of it put into the FAQ--this is something I hop others will feel called to engage in. Thw writing and posting (especially as you were doing it) does take an enormous amount to time and nergy. I hope that you are being very careful with rebuilding the nerves. The myelin sheathes for certain must have grown ragged. What are you doing diet-wise? if you don't mind sharing a bit more. As a Natural Hygienist, I would love to hear a little more about where things are now. Do you attribute the Depression to any imbalances nutritionally? Or mainly to zeal and overwork?


If you don't feel you want to talk further, that's okay.

All the best,
love and light

Chiron

Chrisb1,

You have really opened my eyes. You have no idea how much peace you have given me. One of my goals was to find out why i have psoriasis. Since this forum and meeting you, you have answered a big question in my life.

Finding answers can be frustrating. Normally i would hang on the internet for hours, it was part of my life, now i don't do that and spent much more time outside. Now i know the reasons why I am sick.

In my mind it is as if i have found the truth. i am really calm since I met you.

So I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Chrisb1,
I am so happy to hear from you. We have all been concerned. I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through a hellish experience, however, you mentioned that you are coming out of it. That is great news. You are right. No one can really understand unless they have walked in your shoes. I hope you will not return to burning the candle at both ends just because you are feeling better. May you learn from the experience and take care of yourself properly. We will enjoy your posts as you are able to contribute without putting your health at risk. We will understand that they will not be as many but will be as valued.

Here's wishing the very best for you in all aspects of your life. Thanks for sharing.

Chris1b,
Sorry to hear you are struggling with Major Depression. I had that not long ago, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy helped a lot, now I just have mild Depression and feel fine most days.
The Feeling Good Handbook by David Burns helped me out a lot.

Good luck to you, Hope you get better.

Chris, you know how I've always been talking about EFT...
I still believe its good. reallt good. Also,the "yuen method". And associated techniques.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I am aghast to see where this forum has got too--
in that it's about mainly support for weight loss...
(which it isn't, but who has the heart to say No, this isn;t what we do *best)here...)

ah well. it tells me there's room for awareness of NH.
But, is there 'the ears'?


this is where I think the NHers have burnt out.

Chris,

Welcome back. I have been there done that. I over worked and got depressed in 2002-03. Luckily I found curezone through someone on vegetarian society blog. As per advice I did my first ever Liver Flush and instantly bounced back. I do have some issues to take are of, though.

Have you done LF? If not I would do that right away.

We all miss you. I did send you a personal email, but did not get a reply so I thought something must very critical.

Good to hear you are back and good luck. I know sun always shine tomorrow.

Hi Chris,

You have selflessly helped so many people and your presence has been deeply noticeable and deeply missed. It is beyond great to hear that you are improving and that you expect a full recovery in the coming month or so. Out of curiousity, have you done any Fasting as a part of this? :)

Wishing you all the best and i am honored to include you in my prayers.
