Fasting Experience at Wellspring One of the most unique and effective healing experiences we offer at Wellspring is fasting. Fasting is not starving. It is a method used by the ancients and at contemporary clinics to effect profound changes in health. Nothing is more effective in reversing chronic health conditions, yet nothing is as feared or misunderstood as fasting. At Wellspring, you will be instructed as to how your body will respond to the fast, how long to fast, and how to eat after your fast. There will be a particular emphasis in education about your body’s tremendous innate self-healing abilities when the causes of disease are removed. The fasting process is extremely safe. Most people have reserves of approximately 3 weeks before they would actually begin starving or breaking down important body tissues. Before that happens, old and toxic matter in the cells and tissues are broken down and eliminated. The body in its innate wisdom knows exactly what to do when food intake is stopped, just as it knows exactly what to do when one gets a cut on the skin. Everyone can fast. Yet not everyone can do the same type or length of fast. The experts at Wellspring will guide you through this. Many health conditions can be reversed through fasting. You will need to speak to our health director to evaluate how fasting can help your particular condition. |

You Are Biologically Unique At Wellspring, you will be evaluated upon your arrival as to the type and length of fast you should undertake to maximize your time for healing. Factors that are evaluated include: • Your particular health challenge and age • Medications used • Constitution (yin or yang) • Blood type • Activity level • Occupation • Stress levels These factors will determine the type of fast you will embark on and the type and frequency of therapy you will receive during your fast. Monitoring Your Fast Once you begin your fast, you will be monitored daily for the following physiological indicators: • Weight • Blood pressure • Blood sugar • Urine analysis • Salivary pH • Temperature These factors allow the practitioner to monitor biochemical events to allow for the optimum time to break the fast or to change the nature of the fast. Strictly speaking, fasting is going without any food intake, utilizing only water, for a period of time. Many modifications are used depending on your health condition. Juice fasts, herbal broths and teas, and mono-diets are used for various conditions. |

Meals at Wellspring
The effect of fasting on health can be amazing. To sustain the results one must follow through with a health-promoting lifestyle, including proper diet, exercise habits, and stress management. At Wellspring, we use whole organic foods tailored to the individual patient’s needs. Breakfast is often fresh fruit and/or oatmeal with some protein. Lunch consists of a large raw vegetable salad, with steamed vegetables and minimally processed complex carbohydrates, including steamed or baked potatoes, yams, squash, etc. Dinner may include another large raw vegetable salad, more steamed vegetables and rice or other grains, with or without protein. The food program at Wellspring is also adjusted seasonally, using more yin raw foods in the summer, and more yang, cooked foods in the winter. During your stay, we advise avoiding all processed foods that contain added salt, including white bread, processed cheese, polyunsaturated oils, sugar, especially sugared beverages, as well as the use of coffee, alcohol, nicotine and chocolate. In place of conventional foods, we utilize a menu derived exclusively from whole, unprocessed foods, including fruits, raw and steamed vegetables, unprocessed whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds and animal protein if appropriate, all adjusted to individual metabolic patterns. By avoiding all processed foods and dairy products as well as foods with added oil, flour, salt and sugar, our patients eliminate the dietary excess that is a contributing cause of many health problems. When combined with a program of proper sleep and exercise, results are predictably good. By utilizing fasting to commence a new way of living, patients are able to break bad habits and gain control of their health. |
