Why you shouldn't go to Victoria Bidwell's Best Natural Hygiene health retreat to fast
Why you shouldn't go to Victoria Bidwell's Best Natural Hygiene health retreat, also called Hygiene homestead in the woods, Nature cure raw food health retreat, or Get Well Stay Well America.
First of all, and far from the worst transgression, it is not a picturesque homestead deep in the woods. It's a fenced in acre property, you can see the neighbors next door, and Victoria lives 5 miles away.
Yes, that's right, Victoria lives 5 miles away, she usually (but not always) visits once a day, usually in the evening, sometimes at midnight, sometimes at 3 in the morning. Her reputation for loudly speaking her mind never fails her even then. She is also not above doing housework at odd hours and on one occasion using a hammer outside my room at 2am. It is not an uncommon experience to get woken up at odd hours there.
When Victoria had a knee surgery months back, she left at least one faster completely unmonitored for weeks at a time.
One man who fasted at her retreat, found himself crippled due to severe inflammation. Unable to move his hands or drive (or stand, or walk) after he finished the fast, Victoria made him live in his truck for $175 a week, even when beds became available. On his third day breaking his 30 day fast she gave him nut butter and crackers. At times she would give him things like beans and hummus, or anything that was left over in her fridge. She frequently complained to other retreaters about the burden of having him there. At one point she calls him a "dog" to another retreater. Finally she got him prednisone so he could drive out of there, but would only take him to a clinic to get the prednisone if he signed a statement releasing her of any wrong doing and praising her care.
Gossips with retreaters about other retreaters. Sometimes passive aggressively so the retreater will hear. She has a tendency to take her personal problems out on retreaters.
One retreater 35 days into a fast (I will call the retreater Mary for convenience), couldn't hold down water. Victoria told Mary, that she needed to be strong and stick it out, because that's what another retreater did. Then, 5 days later, Victoria wanted Mary to stop. Mary wanted to keep going at that point, so Victoria took screaming at her and calling her passive aggressive.
Mary spent most of her retreat in a barn, that reached sauna temperatures in the afternoons. Victoria thought this was perfectly acceptable accommodation. Despite the obvious enervating quality (not very hygienic). The cleaning lady did not even feel like she could stay in the barn long enough to clean it, let alone figure out how someone could live in there.
Mary was moved out of the barn into a couch in the library on day 33 of her fast, then moved back into the barn on day 42. As in, had to pack up all her own things and move.
Two brothers had a complete mental breakdown after their fast. It is not my place to speculate exactly why. What I do know, in their particular case they were given way too much to refeed. As in, an entire water melon each the first day. You are left to your own devices as to how you refeed, no one is around cutting up portions for you.
The refeeding likely had nothing to do with the mental break down, and it probably could have happened at any fasting retreat, the problem is that the retreaters were aware the brothers (I will call the younger one Tom and the older one Louis for convenience) were going crazy before Victoria was.
I was moved into the barn when I initially arrived, which is why Mary was moved into the library. Within a few days my allergies became unbearable there, and the heat was causing me to throw up. So, I moved myself onto the couch in the main house. Tom and Louis were staying upstairs. I had a conversation with another retreater at 2 in the afternoon. Tom and Louis requested I not have conversations in the house, so they can better deal with their healing crisis. I didn't think this was terribly unreasonable. Then, I heard them talking rather loudly when I was going to bed, so I asked them to keep it down a bit. Victoria comes by around 10pm that night. They report me to Victoria saying I had no right to be on the couch. So Victoria said I had to move back into the barn until a room became available in 2 days (she said I do not have "squatting rights"). I refused, so she said if the brothers agreed I could sleep on the couch. Other wise she would have to get me a motel (?!). Tom and Louis agreed that 2 days was fine, under the terms I had no rights as a couch surfer. So, she told me they could be as loud as they want, at any time they want, and I shant dare say anything. At that point I threatened to leave, so she said she didn't mean to favor Tom and Louis, or something like that, I don't recall exactly. In any case the brothers spent the entire night screaming and hitting each other. I spent the night on the phone with a friend, 4 days into a fast at this point, confused as to how to deal with the whole situation. Victoria was under the impression they were doing "exercises" to relieve stress.
Victoria only realized something was wrong, when Louis attacked a guest while he was sleeping. The next morning Victoria said she would have them on a plane that night. Instead, they slept at Victoria's place. She brought the brothers back with her to the retreat the next day while she checked up on people. Victoria put the older brother into the barn. I had went to get something I had left there when I noticed him, covered in scratches and bruises. Basically I was alone with a mentally unstable person who wasn't supposed to be there.
After that, the older brother went to the airport, while the younger brother stayed at Victoria's another night. He ran away from Victoria's house that night, back to the retreat, and stood outside a retreater door screaming and making weird noises. The following night, he ran away again, the police found him and took him to a hospital. Eventually his parents flew to Washington to see him and take him home.
I chose to end my fast after 11 days at her retreat because I did not feel comfortable 1)Being vulnerable in an environment where I did not feel safe. 2)Was worried she was not going to assist me in breaking my fast properly, that she might ignore my food sensitivities (Victoria insisted on giving another retreater nuts during refeeding who was intolerant to them), or that there would be no food there if I needed to end my fast early/suddenly and she wasn't around. 3) was concerned she wouldn't even provide transportation to the bus station on time that takes me to the airport, she was an hour late picking me up when I got there.
I "snuck out" with another retreater at 8 in the morning, because we felt that we could not simply tell Victoria we were leaving without angry confrontation. This is obviously extremely unprofessional.
Over all Victoria's attitude was heavily egocentric, arrogant, aggressive, and self righteous. She does not practice natural hygiene herself, I don't think she really remembers what she wrote in her books. She is 200 pounds over weight, has a hearing aid and cataracts at 70 (which is not standard for a practicing natural hygienist or raw vegan, see Lou Corona). She stays up all night and sleeps all day. She admits she eats meat all day 1 day a week, and has been heard bragging about her outings at the olive garden. Again, if she ran the retreat properly, that wouldn't even be a big deal.
So, obviously don't fast there, and be extremely cautious where you go for a supervised fast. Honestly after that experience I feel supervised fasting is overrated, and most people could go 20-30 days on their own. You're better off getting a motel and maybe having a naturopath you can call once a week, rather than being vulnerable around a controlling person, who's mainly out for your money.-

Re: Why you should go to Victoria Bidwell's Best Natural Hygiene health retreat to fast
This person makes unsubstantiated statements based on generalizations and guesswork, simply suppositions. Victoria Bidwell offers a true healing opportunity for an amazingly reasonable and fair cost. Listen in your heart to where this rant is coming from. Do not let people that are part of the problem and not part o the solution take away your opportunity to find the path to true health and healing, mentally, spiritually and physically. Who am I? I have practiced Holistic dentistry and medicine for for over 40 years and have 47 years as a Dentist. I spent a month with Victoria and it has transformed my life in a positive fashion. Nothing that has been said by others whether true or false can take away from these facts.

Lower Than Normal White Blood Cell Count on Ketoge... zendao 3 y 795 † C †Lower Than Normal White Blood Cell Count on Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting
I have been on a keto diet and intermittent fasting for 3 months. I have lost 60 pounds but my white blood cell count dropped from about a steady 6.9 to 3.4 (which is below normal). I have had a blood test done every 3 months for about 2 years and this is the first time my white blood cells dropped to below normal. I'm wondering if this is a normal adaptation to the diet (maybe from reduced inflammation) or a nutritional deficiency, or what?
I take vitamin C, vitamin D3, omega 3, and zinc, 3 times per week. Everyday I drink a blended green drink (about 80 grams total of: celery, cucumber, spinach and a pinch of collagen powder) at 2pm and 100 grams of protein with some fat or oil at 9pm.
Everyday I work out for 30 mins (medium intensity) at 3pm and sleep from 11pm to 10 am. I'm 6'1 and currently weigh 200 pounds.
I appreciate any comment or feedback. Thanks!-

Sometimes we overload our liver.Sometimes we need to give the liver/blood a break..Great example...A gallon of paint) a gallon of paint to paint your house with is a mixture of liquids and solids and tinting. So you see there has to be a balance there in those ingredients for the paint to be able to do its job, if there's too much liquid in the paint it will not cover, if there's too many solids in the paint, it will not spread, and if there is no tent, there will be no color. We have to find the balance, what you're taking may be perfectly fine but it may be too many solids and overworking the liver, because even something good, too much, can be bad. The only reason I am stating this, is because I have experienced it. So it's worth looking into.View all messages by #83944 on this forum, all forums. -

Developed vaginal yeast infection during a long water only fast!
Hello! I am coming off of a 36 day water only fast and have really enjoyed reading the wisdom offered here, especially on refeeding, since I was ill-prepared for it, as this was my first fast of this length. I have plenty of experience with shorter duration fasts.
I came to the end of my rope with boredom and having no energy, and decided to end on the 36th day vs. fasting through the 40th day.
Yesterday I broke the fast with fresh-squeezed orange juice. Over the course of the day, I drank about 1.25 quarts. Which was way too much. I felt horrible. Later I switched to homemade vegetable broth I made to replace minerals. Today, I've had 1/2 cup broth about every hour or longer. Still felt iffy this morning, but have gradually felt better.
During the fast I never had foul breath. My tongue was coated the whole time. My weight was 183.8 on day 2 (I didn't weigh on day 1). On day 36, I weighed 152.2. I don't have any major health problems.
I fear my body was not done with the fast, however. I have managed to develop a vaginal yeast infection toward the end of the fast! I am 48 and this is only the second time I've had one! The first was when I was a teen.
Can anyone shed light on what might be going on? Why would I get a yeast infection after 30+ days of fasting?
TIA for any light anyone can shed.

JOIN ME! on brown rice fasting! usasoccer11 13 y 8,646 † C †JOIN ME! on brown rice fasting!
Hey guys I am starting a brown rice fast on Wednesday. I plan to do this for at least 5 days, but my ultimate goal is 7 to 10 days.
If you have candida, adrenal fatigue or whatever I STRONGLY recommend you try this with me! It'll be fun and from what I have researched it is easier on the body then other fasts and just as successful. Its what the chinese would do always to start out if someone was really ill.
THE FAST
- 4 to 8 cups of boiled brown rice a day
- soak the rice
- use a little salt with each meal
- I might do a tsp of coconut oil/olive oil a day
- Relax and lightly exercise
Please join me, so then we can all share our success at the end. It will be a great way to start off the summer!-

Sf722 worked very well for me.I felt like it was actually working against the candida without irritating my gut too much. It was causing too much fatigue at work so i had to stop doing it. Im going to take a week off work and hammer it.

Carbs dont cause candida or are not even a big factor. Do you research. Candida is not an evil organism that prays on someone just waiting to eat up their sugar. Meat creates just as much glucose and energy.
Chinese have used a brown rice fast as a first stage to curing most diseases for centuries.
I think too many people on here have this victim image of candida stuck in their head. I know how they feel because I used to be like this. The truth is we caused our condition and its our duty to get out of it and cure ourselves-

Same old way of thinking. No one wants to join your ridiculous venture for self hurt. You have 5 people in a row tell you they can't do brown rice on the Candida Support Forum and you're the odd man out. That should tell you something. You should do your research probably starting with basic biology and yeast cell life cycle and growth. Maybe take a gander at MCAT biology and see how the human body works. Meat does not turn into glucose btw. And even if it did, it bypasses the GI tract.-

Buddy I am a Bio Major at a University, I understand a lot more than you think, and meat does turn into glucose to give the human body energy, thats common sense. If you can't tolerate brown rice, the most basic of staple foods around the world, then you are doing something seriously wrong. No one can heal on a high meat diet.
I will say for the final time CANDIDA is not some crazy angry yeast out to get you. It is only their because of the terrain of your body that allows it. Candida is merely a symptom of a deeper problem of a disfunctional immune system or digestive system.
Also you need to lose your anger. Every post of yours seems very angry. Its hard to heal with all that anger pent up. Losing the anger will do you much better than taking any antifungal.-

Refeeding after extended water only fast. BellasMomma 3 y 726 † C †Refeeding after extended water only fast.
I am currently on day 8 of a Water Fast for an unknown length of time. I was wondering, would grapefruit juice instead of orange juice be a good way to start refeeding whenever that happens?
I want to limit the sugars I ingest as much as possible. But I don't want to upset my stomach/digestive tract if it is too acidic either.
I mostly want to limit sugars because I have PCOS which puts me at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. I don't want to flood my system with Sugar and risk a higher insulin resistance reduction putting the risk for diabetes even higher.
Please advise. I would appreciate it.

Completely alleviated testicle swelling during wat... novamute 10 y 5,560 † C †Completely alleviated testicle swelling during water fast returns first day of eating - Opinions welcome
I've had swelling of the left testicle since I was about 10 years old, or younger. I always thought it was just bigger. Turns out its not, the testes are the same size. I'm 23 now and the swelling has not increased in volume, its does not bother me unless I'm contacted in the genitals or do any intensive high impact sports e.g. volleyball.
This leads me to believe its not a hernia, since generally hernias increase in size and most cause significant pain at some point. Also I do not have any lump on my groin, except some extra 'mass' directly to the left of my penis (communicating hydrocele of the spermatic cord?)
However, Sneezing, coughing, going to the bathroom, eating (large amounts), and walking/standing for a long time will cause the swelling to reoccur.
Laying down, and lifting my legs up quickly reverses the swelling.
The story on fasting is by day 2 the swelling was completely gone. Day 5 when I returned to normal eating, it returned, perhaps somewhat smaller.
I would really appreciate opinions from anyone familiar with hernias, hydroceles, or other testicular swelling especially related to eating/fasting, and natural healing methods.
I'm currently looking for a natropath to examine me, but I will not have surgery regardless. I will heal myself whatever it is. I've just read too many stories of GP's wrongly diagnosing other swelling as hernias. And just dealt with too much bs from medical professionals. So for the time being I would love some helpful advice.
Sidenote: I am painting my genitals with iodine. I believe I have some hormone/testosterone/thyroid disruption and I do believe Iodine is very helpful for that.

Fasting makes the body aggressively look for food in the body. So the bacteria virus etc may go dormant hiding until the fast is over.
Maybe using the Beck Magnetic Pulser. Pulsing the testicle 50 time a few times per week could kill or deactivate the infection.-

Or perhaps something in your food is causing the reaction. Allergy etc. PUFA fats cause many diseases in the body.

From what you said, I take it that you are right-handed and play volleyball & probably other sports.
Consider this, how much tension do you put in your right-handed spikes on the ball?
How much tension is placed on the upper right side of your body. All right-handed activities could be placing tension on that side of your upper body.
Think about the "cross-over" connection that is unconsciously placed in the left hip area / lower left side of body...
Recommend pressure point massage to relieve the tension that's been unconsciously placed & accumulated over time. Seek balance in how things are being done.

Refeeding after extended water only fast.

Refeeding after extended water only fast.
I am currently on day 8 of a Water Fast for an unknown length of time. I was wondering, would grapefruit juice instead of orange juice be a good way to start refeeding whenever that happens?
I want to limit the sugars I ingest as much as possible. But I don't want to upset my stomach/digestive tract if it is too acidic either.
Please advise. I would appreciate it. - First
