What is the real beef about protein? -Amarnath & Chris

[Guest guest]

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

i wanted to thank the two of you for your dietary information and

suggestions. i have been wanting to do a fast and my wife and i

recently did the master cleansing fast. i don't know if either of you

are familiar with it but we found it very benefical. i think fasting

in spring, ayervedically speaking is a good time and i found giving

my system the rest a very good experience and altered my eating

habits. i read about some amazing stories of people being relieved of

many health challenges by doing this detox fast for an extended period

of time. for anyone interested in checking into it there is much info

online about it and it is really very simple and straight forward to

follow. one link with basic info is http://www.mastercleanser.com/

and also http://www.cyberclass.net/mastercleanser.htm thanks again.

This info looks great. I liquid fast alot, with high quality organic

juices and smoothies, and its miraculous.

 

Our sytems need to reboot from so much digestion. Your body

says " Thank You! " the earth says thank you too. living lightly helps

our earth mama.

 

the first day is the hardest, breaking the old habits. the next two

days are inspiring. And getting rid of access weight is a new lease

on life.

 

If you notice Amma eats very little. what does she run on? High

octane prana, which is available to us too!

 

Peace!
