Hope for Rheumatoid Arthritis with Fasting

I recently received a phone call from one of our guests who attended our May fasting retreat, and it beautifully reaffirmed something we witness time and time again at Wind Spirit.

For those living with chronic inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, therapeutic water fasting can be a deeply restorative experience. While every healing journey is unique and results vary from person to person, it’s always inspiring to hear how the body can begin to respond when it’s given the opportunity to rest, repair and rebalance in the right environment.

Jennie came to Wind Spirit suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, feeling in pain, fatigued and unwell. A preliminary blood test showed that her CRP (inflammatory markers) were 9.2, way over the highest acceptable level of 5.

After doing a thorough pre-retreat protocol to prepare for the fast, Jennie arrived at Wind Spirit and did 6 days of water fasting, along with all the supports and education that are on offer at Wind Spirit including Journey work to release emotional pain and old unhealthy beliefs that may be contributing to her condition. After breaking the water fast she continued on with juice cleansing.

She left Wind Spirit feeling energised and with a lightness of being, having minimal pain and feeling positive for the future.

Since the fast she is continuing with intermittent fasting and feels like a 'new woman'.
