“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TrueNorth Health Center. Please read on…<br>Before I begin, a very special thank you to Dr. Alan Goldhamer for establishing and maintaining TrueNorth for the past 40 years.<br>I first learned about Dr. Goldhamer by listening to his first interview with Rich Roll about five years ago. It made me curious. Although I have been doing 36 hour water only fasts twice a month for the past 10 years, I could not imagine doing a 14 day, 21 day, or let alone a 40 day water only fast.<br>Earlier this year, after completing a 6.5 day water only fast and experiencing clear benefits, I decided to commit to a 14 day fast at the TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California. I flew from Gainesville, Florida and arrived on Dec 8. Fasting began on Dec 9.<br>From the initial booking, followed by a free consultation call, to the reception, the room service, medical monitoring three times per day, educational classes, spotless cleanliness, and the exceptionally well trained, service oriented staff, every step confirmed that I made the right decision by coming here.<br>Their fasting and refeeding protocols are backed by 26 peer reviewed clinical studies published in major medical journals, documenting real cases of chronic disease states showing significant clinical improvement through this simple intervention.<br>When a friend heard about my fasting, he wrote: “Too austere.” Interestingly, he is diabetic.<br>I replied: “When you think about what many people go through with open heart surgery, a long recovery, lifelong medications, ongoing therapy, areas of the body paralyzed, the brain affected, speech affected, and sometimes even the loss of a limb, a 14 day fast really does not seem that austere.”<br>Being at the TrueNorth Health Center makes fasting far less difficult. When you are surrounded by 70 to 100 people fasting, some of them longer than you, combined with continuous medical oversight and psychological support, you realize this can be done. And the benefits are priceless. I intend to continue shorter fasts at home.<br>Note: I am the owner of two successful businesses in Florida, a strict vegan with no junk food, maintain an ideal weight, exercise regularly, and have no known major diseases. I chose fasting for preventive reasons. I have traveled extensively and stayed in some of the finest five star hotels worldwide. The level of service at TrueNorth is on par with and in some cases exceeds what I have experienced globally.<br>Kudos to Dr. Goldhamer and the entire TrueNorth team.<br>Staff members who assisted me include:<br>Michelle, Lucy, Chris Rhule, Dylan, Sandy, Bricela, Suzy, Anthony Streutker, Antonio Soler, Erwin Linzner, Faye Alexandrakis, Justin Wise, Ahmed Deen, Tam Chu, Andrea, Steve, Sara, Naren, Briseyda, Chef Bravo, Chef Mauricio, Cathy Fisher, Briseyda, Aitya, Chef Bravo, and special thanks to Chef Mauricio, Lindzer, Deen, Maria, Griselda, Suzy, Edith, Esmeralda, and others.”
