Depression can rightly be called the ORZ among mental disorders – most people experience depression in one way or another, either directly or indirectly.
The main cause of depression and other functional disorders is theconsequences of brain injuries, and in my opinionendogenous intoxication of the bodyas a result of very large slagging of thebody. Therefore, there is a violation of the normal functioning of biochemical processes in the central nervous system. Stresses, traumas and genetic predisposition are only provoking and predisposing factors.
The phenomena of endogenous intoxication are so wide and insidious that it is difficult to imagine. Thus, dirty blood can stop in the capillary bed of the brain and cause varying degrees of disturbance in the respiration and nutrition of a certain part of the brain. The altered chemistry of that area already affects the person quite differently. This can manifest itself as apathy, aggression, obsessive thoughts, mania, fears and a variety of other complexes.
Scientists’ studies have already confirmed the fact that most young people’s brains are heavily polluted, hence inadequate behavior, rudeness and addiction to various kinds of doping: alcohol, drugs, coffee, strong tea, stupefying music. No psychoanalysis is needed here – a person just needs to starve, purify himself, and he becomes absolutely different. The feeling of herd mentality and aggressiveness disappears, completely different interests appear, and there is no need for various kinds of stimulants.
Your friends or family members may be victims of depression. Despite the prevalence of this disorder, many people do not know exactly what depression is, what its causes are, and how depression differs from moping and low moods. Depression is characterized by a number of fairly common symptoms, including constant sadness, anxiety, feeling lost, and a sense of hopelessness and pessimism. Depression also results in feelings of guilt, worthlessness and helplessness. When depressed, people lose interest in life, they are not even excited about their favorite activities and hobbies, such as friendship parties or even sex. Insomnia, getting up early in the morning and excessive sleepiness are common symptoms of depression.
Starvation is one of the most radical and interesting methodsin the treatment of depression. In psychiatry, there are therapeutic fasting techniques developed specifically for recovery from depression, which are used in some psychiatric clinics. People suffering from depression fast under the supervision of doctors for 2-3 weeks and, after completing the course, completely get out of depression. This method is especially popular among women, because it allows to get rid not only of depression, but also of excess weight. During fasting powerful cleansing mechanisms are launched both at the body level and at the energy level.
I have long ago noticed that during fasting all external problems do not interest a person, he concentrates more on nature, on its beauty, on his own health and on going through fasting. The organism works on survival, in it according to the principle of dominance, two stresses cannot coexist, the energetically strong one wins. Why does depression recede?
The method is based on the principle of therapeutic biological stress. This stress is experienced by a person at the first, unloading stage. Without food and water, the human body “feels” the danger. All forces are directed to restore the former healthy state. There is a protective mobilization of all resources. The organism is activated and becomes stronger.
The general condition of the person improves, apathy recedes. The problems that were worrying and depressing before do not seem so serious now. The organism faces a more important task: to survive without food and water. In the second, dietary phase of therapy, the person’s mood improves as soon as he or she begins to take in food and water. The connection between food intake and mood is easy to note even in everyday life. A hungry person is usually irritable. Now imagine what pleasure from food and water a person who has undergone dry fasting for 5-7 days feels. He immediately becomes light at heart. Usually when you start to talk to people about treatment of depression by fasting, they usually say: “Still it is strange. Usually hunger, on the contrary, depresses a person”. There is nothing strange about it. You should not confuse therapeutic fasting with forced fasting. These are completely different things. It is very hard to starve involuntarily, due to some circumstances. It is difficult both psychologically and physically. A person who is forced to starve is afraid of dying. Consequently, he is depressed. A patient goes to therapeutic fasting consciously and voluntarily. He knows that it is necessary, that it will help him. Therapeutic fasting gives hope. Forced to starve, a person tries to eat something to survive. Partial fasting, strangely enough, is much worse for the body than complete fasting. Therapeutic fasting must be supervised by a doctor and ideally in nature.
Dry fasting is apowerful stressfor the organism, but unlike other stresses, this stress is controlled by a person’s will and psychological mood. Therefore, during fasting all pathological symptoms begin to level out. There appears a great desire and will to live, people become more calm, kind and responsive. Many patients told me: “What have you done to our boss, he became so calm and sociable”.
It is also established that fasting naturally stimulatesphysiological regenerationin the organism and restores pyramidal cells of the brain and even increases them. This was proved by Arshavsky I.K. After passing this method the most effective way to solve the problems of compatibility, starting from intrafamily, intracollective and up to interethnic. Up to 150 or more substances are released through human lungs during the fasting. If a person is chronically ill, toxins of this disease are released through the lungs in increased quantity. People surrounding such a person feel it and subconsciously try to stay away from him, to contact him less often. This is expressed in the “indigestion” and irritability from the mere sight of such a person. Conflicts arise – discord in the family, disintegration of the team, etc. After starvation, the body is cleansed and revitalized. Much less toxic and foreign substances are released through the lungs, and previously incompatible people get along well with each other.
Your memory sharpens like a razor blade. You can recall names, places and circumstances of events that happened to you many years ago. You become more capable of self-education. The result of the fasting program is an inner harmony of mind and feelings.
By cleansing your body and soul, you are elevated and become a positive thinking person. Stresses, which include fright, anger, fear, consequences in the form of emotions from any traumas (for example, birth trauma) and so on, cause distortion in the holographic body in the form of “tangling” of laser micro-beams. Such a “knot” can remain for the whole life and interfere with a person’s full life. During starvation under the influence of relaxation “knots” unravel spontaneously. The cause is removed – theenergycliché of the pathological emotion that caused the “knot”. Then the structures and chemistry of this area are spontaneously restored, and delusional, obsessive and other phenomena are gone – the person is healthy.
Even I.P. Pavlov pointed out that when treating mentally ill people, rest is necessary – the main therapeutic technique against the disease process. For the purpose of creating such rest, the method of treatment with sleep and other methods of creating artificial protective inhibition were proposed. But the transition of the organism during starvation to internal nutrition provides a wonderful rest for the whole nervous system. At the same time a long and deep relaxation of the organism is achieved. That is why “chemical storm” in the internal media, deep and long relaxation of the organism, rest in the nervous system contribute to normalization of the mental state of a person on hunger.
All the above-mentioned advantages of hunger made it indispensable at all times as a tool by which the enlightened mind could perceive the depths of the teachings on the mysteries of life and being. Buddha, Moses, David, Christ and many others up to our days (P. K. Ivanov) consciously fasted in order to acquire wisdom, the rarest quality in the world.
Here are the main effects of fasting besides wellness:
● Patients become calmer after going through a dry fast. The senses are refined.
● Time lengthens. The day seems endless – you do as many things as you wouldn’t normally do in a week
● Sleep is shortened. Five hours of sleep a night is enough.
● Mental activity increases – any new complex information is easily perceived, mental work is done very quickly. Solutions are found to complex problems that have been unsuccessfully fought over for a long time. I think that our spirit and body are inextricably interconnected. Good qualitycleansing of the bodyhelps to restore the normal work of the intestines and liver, respectively, our brain begins to receive quality nutrition and a good supply of oxygen. All altered biochemical processes are normalized and become much better. I always remember the ancient Jews – when the tribe was in a difficult, hopeless situation, they conducted dry fasting with the whole tribe, and there was always a way out. Dry fasting without water gives effect even at deep exhaustion of nervous system, when usual fasting on water turns out to be ineffective. It makes us reconsider many old postulates and reconsider the popular opinion about benefits of abundant water drinking.
