Hello Motherweary,
your welcome.
This is my fasting & Natural Hygiene story.................
You will find it here at Tony Isaacs "The Best Years in Life" website, but the sub-link does not appear to work at the moment..........

So I have re-printed it from my archives for you.............

Soon after birth in 1953 I was diagnosed with what was then referred to as “Consumption”. My first two years were spent mostly in sleep and was awoken only for feeding. The Doctors of the time said I would eat when hungry and there was nothing to be unduly concerned about. The legacy of this disease left me with weakened lungs and an aversion to food, resulting in a malnourished body and an underdeveloped physique and mental capacity.
In my middle teens I was diagnosed with Leukemia at the Boston Pilgrim Hospital in Lincolnshire UK. Refusing to believe this, my family sought a second opinion from the Lincoln County Hospital only 30 miles away, which they confirmed. My family and I agreed to the regular treatment of chemotherapy, but the prognosis was not a good one: six months at best they said, because it was too far advanced.
Soon after treatment had begun, (which I abandoned) and entirely by chance, I came across an article on fasting in the Daily Mail (a National UK Newspaper) written by a Leslie Kenton who was the then Beauty Editor of Harpers & Queen Magazine. What I read made much sense, and wrote to her personally requesting more information. She introduced me to Natural Hygiene, and I avidly devoured everything I could on the subject, to the point today where I have a quite a large library on the subject.
I took it upon myself to undergo self-treatment and water-fasted for 25 days, (although already underweight|) and I just went along with the wishes and signals of my body and what it was actually telling me. I broke the fast very carefully (as advised from the literature I had bought) on organic fruit juices and then vegetable juices. I also sunbathed moderately every day (weather permitting) sought fresh air daily and rested throughout. Within weeks my appetite returned and I wanted to eat solid food again, consisting exclusively of organic salads and fruits in season.
The Boston hospital had disowned my case for not following their advice, but after 9 months of this NH regime I returned to the same Hospital for a follow-up investigation. The Doctors who had overseen my case were, in their words, “shocked and amazed” at my recovery, as there was no evidence at all from all of the tests they performed that the Leukemia had ever existed!!
For the last thirty years I have been free from any disease, thanks to the life-changing premise of a health system based on Natural Law, given to us by God and provided by Nature. As I write and relive this experience, it has brought tears to my eyes, and I am finding it difficult to rationalize my thoughts, but I am eternally grateful and thankful for the extra years that I have been privileged to witness, and that would have been denied if I had followed the path of conventional medicine. Of that, I have no doubt whatsoever.
