A Testimonial by Mrs Zhang
~ By Mrs Zhang, Jan 2007

This is a testimonial we received from Mrs Zhang. An inspiring story of how a mother's healing overflowed to her whole family. Read on...

"A few years ago, my doctor confirmed that I had ovarian cyst. He advised me to go for an operation to remove the cyst but I hesitated. Instead, I went to consult a TCM doctor. After half a year of taking herbal concoctions, I could not tolerate the smell of the herb any longer. So, I began looking for alternative treatments.

I learned from specialist who promote organic eating from American and Taiwan and tried it on myself, I even resorted to drinking vinegar to remove gallstones. Anything to help in the treatment, I would try one after another. And in June 2004, I attended their 3D2N juice fast. They recommended to add some nutritional products into the juices, to drink Fujin grass tea or winter melon soup as diuretic, exercises to induce sweating; and enema for “complete detox”. After 7 days staying on this program, despite the daily troublesome routine of drinking different liquids, I felt that there was no significant improvement and I was exhausted.

In December 2004, I came across “Our Health Week” and that was the turning point in my life. I must thank Ray Kent, Siok Khoon and Qui Ying from the bottom of my heart, for they are truly my benefactors. It was my good fortune to meet them and to receive their guidance. I am truly blessed.

I brought 6 yr old my son along to attend the 4D3N Health Week. I felt that doing pure water fasting was much easier compared to the last juice fast. Other than attending the talks, there was plenty of time to rest. We learned a lot of new concepts, very different from what I have learned earlier. After I came back from the course, I continued the fast, completing a total of 10 days water-fast.

During the first 5 days, I felt very tired and was depleted by the burning hunger. The mouth was dry and oral odor was unbearable. I had headache, aching all over my body and fitful sleep. By the 6th day, however, I felt unexpectedly light and calm, an experience I never felt before in my life. My spirits were lifted, the hunger gone and no more yearning for food. That feeling was extraordinarily pleasant, and I surrendered entirely to the body and enjoyed the natural radiance of the sun. Now, I could look at myself from a different perspective. A new understanding of me emerged. After 40 years of wrong eating, I could now have a complete makeover.

So, now when I eat, I follow closely the instructions given by Ray. To my surprise, my digestion and elimination greatly improved. My son completed the 4 days fast and he no longer wets the bed now! He no longer has rashes and his emotions are more stable and not as hyperactive as before. I have no problem getting him to fast during his school holidays, as he understands that it is good for him. 

My husband was very impressed with our improved state of health. With my encouragement, he began fasting and pure eating. After about a year, he successfully quit his 20–years die-hard habit of smoking.

I have been fasting 3 to 4 times a year ever since the “Health Week” and my cyst has gradually become smaller and eventually, disappeared. This has convinced me that fasting is indeed what everyone should do to regain good health. It helps save a lot on your medical bills as well. 

In life, we do not have to fear obstacles as long as we are brave enough to embrace changes. By taking a different step forward, there is always hope in life."■

張太的見証
2007年一月

我在好幾年前，就被診斷患上卵巢腫瘤。醫生建議我做切除手術，但我沒有接納，轉而去看中醫。我服用了半年的中藥，所以一聞到藥味就害怕。我不斷地找尋可以治療的方法，與美國及台灣的生機飲食專家學習，對症調養，甚至於喝醋，清除膽石等。凡是對病情有所幫助的方法，都一一地去嘗試。2004年的六月，還特地參加了台灣著名斷食專家所舉辦的三天兩夜果汁斷食，並持續了七天果汁斷食。他們所辦的斷食營，在果汁中加入了一些營養品，另外還需煮一鍋負金草茶或冬瓜利尿湯來飲用，幫助排尿。再來，還需做運動來排汗，並強調一定要灌腸，才能圓滿。在這樣的斷食營裡，自覺疲累與麻煩，因為一天當中要喝上8-9次的各類飲料，七天下來也沒有感覺到什麼明顯地效果。

2004年，我很慶幸接觸到瑞肯的健康營。這是我一生當中的轉捩點。首先，我要衷心地感謝生命中的貴人瑞肯、淑君、秋營。慶幸能夠遇到這些貴人，以及能夠虛心地接受教導，古人雲：“是有福氣之人”。

2004年12月，我攜帶兒子一起參加四天三夜斷食營，從中學習。與果汁斷食比較，這水斷食法，比較輕鬆。除了上課以外，有許多時間可以好好休息，而且有不同的體驗，學習了許多從前完全不一樣的新概念。

第一次我做了十天斷食。斷食的前五天，深刻體驗到那種飢餓燃燒的無力感覺，很疲累、口舌干燥、口臭難當、頭痛、全身酸痛、睡不安寧……就在第六天，意外地進入另一個前所未有的輕鬆、安寧。精神煥發的奇妙感覺，飢餓感消失了，對於飲食不存饞嘴的欲望，而是在享受一種特別舒適美好感受。全然地釋放自己，接受陽光自然的照耀。經過十天的斷食，讓我以另一個新的角度來認識自己。四十年的錯誤飲食而須徹底改變，所以在復食當中，都一一遵從瑞肯給予我們學員的指導，再一次發現身體消化與排泄功能大大地改進。

我兒子則做了四天。想不到四天后竟改變了我兒子經常尿床的毛病，皮膚不再出紅疹，情緒上較穩定，也不象之前那麼好動。

我現在每年都斷食三、四次。在學校假期，我們都利用假日來斷食。在不斷地努力下，漸漸收到療效。經過了連續一年三、四次的慣性斷食后，身體所患的卵巢腫瘤，在逐漸的改善、縮小、消失。這個改變讓我深刻體會到斷食是我們每個人必須學習的方法，通過它，可以找回失去的健康，省下一筆不菲地醫藥費。這也毫無疑問給了我一個很強大的鼓舞，振奮人心，讓我對於斷食具有非常強大的信心，在推動自己不斷地向前邁進。

我的先生對於我斷食的表現非常滿意，因為他看我斷食十天，精神竟然還那麼好，消化及排泄方面，大有改進，提升了他對斷食功效的信心。在我鼓勵之下，他以斷食的方法，並改變飲食大約一年的時間，成功地戒掉了二十多年難以戒除的煙癮。

生命中不怕有障礙，隻要勇於改變，邁出人生的另一步，生命處處有希望。
