The Soil Condition: Nature and Healing

Nature thrives autonomously, requiring neither care nor intervention from mankind. The universe, Earth, and life itself possess their own innate intelligence and systems for self-sustenance.

Similarly, our bodies possess an intrinsic ability to heal. When we sustain cuts, our bodies automatically initiate the healing process. When illness strikes, our immune system instinctively knows how to respond. This self-regulating mechanism is mirrored in the environment, particularly in the soil. The soil reflects its internal condition—health or disease cannot be falsified. If the soil is healthy, it remains so unless disrupted. Any imbalance triggers nature’s forces to restore equilibrium.

Personal Healing through Fasting

My personal journey of healing began with fasting, a practice I started just before the COVID-19 pandemic. Driven by an inexplicable compulsion, I embarked on this path without prior research, learning as I went. During the pandemic, despite living in two different households where others contracted COVID-19, I remained unaffected, testing negative over ten times.

Fasting, in essence, gives the body a respite from constant digestion and detoxification necessitated by regular eating and snacking. When a virus invades, a non-fasting body must divide its energy between fighting the virus and processing food. Fasting clears this burden, allowing the body to focus entirely on healing.

The healing process intensifies after about 18 hours of fasting. Our bodies, akin to a work factory, after ceasing the daily intake of food, can fully dedicate themselves to maintenance and cleansing. Post the 18-hour mark, the body engages in what might be considered a "spring cleaning," tuning and adjusting as needed. The longer the fast, the deeper the healing.

Starting the Fasting Journey

I initially attempted a 24-hour fast without preparation, which led to hypoglycemia incidents due to a sudden drop in blood sugar. This experience taught me the importance of gradually easing into fasting.

For beginners, start with the longest duration you are comfortable with. For instance, if you finish dinner at 9 PM and usually have breakfast at 8 AM, that’s an 11-hour fast. Gradually extend this time. Delay breakfast first to 9 AM, then 9:30 AM, and so on, until you naturally delay your first meal to later in the day, such as noon, thus achieving a 15-hour fast.

As you become accustomed to this new routine, you'll find your appetite adjusting. You might not feel the need to eat until about 6 PM, achieving an 18-hour fast. Gradually, you can restrict your eating window to between 12 PM and 4 PM, extending the fast to 20 hours.

Eventually, try replacing a meal with just water, pushing past the 24-hour mark. This transition allows the body to tap into its reserves—like "old canned tunas and orange juice from 2011"—cleansing itself and utilizing long-stored energy.

Remember, the extent and duration of fasting should be tailored to your body's responses. It's crucial to listen to your intuition and body signals rather than succumbing to temptations.
