"I'M HAPPY! MY CABOOSE IS GONE!"
.
"I'M HAPPY!
MY BLOOD PRESSURE
IS IN THE NORMAL RANGE!"
It was December 1st, 2011, that I met first met Gyata on the telephone. She was calling from Vancouver, B.C. Just an hour or so away, as the crows fly. We had a long talk, she made her reservation for a 6 weeks' visit at Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods, we talked a few times until her arrival date, she talked with Our 3 Texas Doctors about her situation before she arrived, she checked in on January 3rd, she took a green juice of celery and cucumber and lettuce for 4 days to assure coming off a diuretic safely before taking her Correct Natural Hygiene Fast, she correctly fasted on water-only for 26 days with virtually no misery symptoms whatsoever, she broke the fast with difficulty because her body wanted to keep going and because the bowels were slow to wake up from their long winter's hibernation, she was not the least big hungry or relishing her food because her body was still in a cleansing mode and was rejecting food, she dined on organic tomatoes and the best celery either of us had ever eaten and lettuce since all other foods she rejected as "tasting bad" or being "too sweet," she even rejected all my yummy juices that all the guests love, she did finally get her appetite to kick in, we had only 3 meals together as she was not ready for recipes, we dined on 2 whole food meals, we enjoyed the spiralized spaghetti and sun-dried tomato sauce her last night, and she left at the end of the 6 weeks. When I went over the afternoon of her early morning departure, to start straightening up the place, I found she left me a lovely hand-painted note on the dining table.

"Dear GetWell and StayWell Victoria, Take good care of yourself. Without you, the world would not be as good a place to be. Thank you for all your visits and especially for your nourishing bear hugs! I don't think I could have made it without those hugs and your tender touches when I needed some comforting. Love, Gyata. Here is my list to share with your GetWell Friends and livefoodfactorfriends.
.
"10 THINGS I ENJOYED SO MUCH ABOUT "THE WONDERFUL GUESTHOUSE VISIT"
1. Victoria's life-sustaining bear hugs with each of her daily comings and goings
.
2. The Critters' Forest loft with a view of the Cascade Mountains out the 2 big windows
.
3. The super-equipped kitchen with every imaginable gadget
.
4. The big couch with great cushions and pillows on the front porch where I was able to get some sunbaths on those unusually warm days in January and February
.
5. The back porch, big, open-air room with comfy couches where I could wrap up in the big, sheepskin-like comforter like an Indian Princess and just watch the snows fall for our 2 weeks of January winter wonderland
.
6. The (exquisite) Homestead Library of Natural Hygiene books, DVDs, VHS videos, magazines, cassettes, and CDs
.
7. The 2 electric-flame fireplaces and comfy couch and pillows and many throw blankets where I spent many hours wrapped up and laid out, reading or watching the wonderfully entertaining and informative set of 30 DVDs made by Our 3 Texas Doctors and all the other videos and movies
.
8. The overall, adventurous setting of The Guesthouse and its wilderness, log cabin, back-to-nature landscaping and decor that made me feel so special, like I had entered a theme-park and was not just staying at a modern house on a street or at a regular hotel in a town
.
9. The 10-minute walk through the little, woodsy community to get to the secluded spots along The (exquisite) Skagit River and the time spent just watching the river roll along
.
10. Plenty of full-length mirrors throughout the house so that I could actually view my body and get more in touch with it and see the transformation at every twist and turn throughout every day
.
"10 THINGS THAT GYATA SHARED WITH ME THAT MADE HER HAPPY!
1. I like so much to be generous when I can. So many have been so generous to me over the years to keep me going. And so, to make up for Gyata being alone at The Guesthouse for 4 of her 6 weeks and because she was one of those guests who actually wanted company, I am treating her to a brand-new set of Our 3 Texas Doctors' 30-DVD lectures when the next batch is done. Some guests actually ask to be alone, if at all possible, at The Guesthouse. Some actually pay more to be alone and have the run of the entire house. Some do get to be alone, just because reservations turn out that way, and they moan and groan when a guest is scheduled to come and disturb their privacy. But Gyata was not one of these. And she sorely missed a little companionship throughout the day after Kim Andrews, whose story was in our last broadcast, left.
.
I tried to tell her: "There are 4 reasons why being alone is to your great advantage: #1 -- You have a private bathroom! #2 -- You could end up with someone with whom you are totally incompatible, and that would not be easy on you or fun for you! #3 --Even if you did get along with other guests here, these compatible guests can be a huge energy drain as you share each others' life stories -- and recipes! I have seen it happen over and over during my retreat-hoping years. I have seen compatible guests lose their focus entirely, bond together, and sneak off to town for margaritas and fajitas! It has only happened twice here, something like this. But it was ridiculous! #4 -- You get the best of me as I will not need to spread my attention around to all the others." But I could see that Gyata was not happy about being alone after Kim departed, despite my long, daily visit. So when she asked about buying the set of Our 3 Texas Doctors' DVD lectures with which she was so impressed and that she would share them at seniors' meetings and with friends and perhaps even use to teach classes, I treated her to a set for doing such good work at settling down, digging in, resting and sleeping, while she was "home alone" for 4 weeks of her 6 at Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods!
.
2. I treated Gyata to The Kitchen Spiralizer to take home and with which to have FUN! FUN! FUN! There were several other little gifts along the way which made her happy.
.
3. Gyata left with getting some of the feeling back in the bottoms of her feet. That made her happy!
.
4. Gyata was pleased to see a growth on her toe just fall off quite early in the fast.
.
5. Gyata said to me many times: "I learned a lot." She explained: "I have known a lot about alternative health care and about preparing raw foods recipes. But I did not know about Natural Hygiene. Gyata left me a huge pile of books, magazines, DVDs and VHS videos, CDs and cassette tapes piled high on The Homestead Library round table to put away. I can tell how much a person learns by how high the pile he or she leaves! This guest had already told me on the phone that she would be preparing her own food once she breaks the fast, that she has all the recipe books to do live-food preparations, that she has all the machines. And that is what happened. We only had 3 meals together. This guest did, however, learn all about Natural Hygiene -- and from the best Natural Hygiene library available to Health Seekers at any retreat in the world!
.
6. Because Gyata was not on The Internet to check out other places, she did not fully realize that the other Natural Hygiene places ask about $1,000 a week. She was, of course, grateful to pay half the going rate. She explained: "I could never have afforded $1,000 a week." Saving $3,000 would make anyone happy!"
.
7. Gyata was impressed with how her skin exfoliated early on in the fast and throughout it. We kept the sheets changed on schedule. She took a bath most every day, something I do not recommend; but she did do it, anyway. She got out the loofa and gave herself good rubs regularly. And her skin renewed beautifully.
.
8. Gyata brought her own scale. She seldom told me her weight as the weeks passed. I begged her to let me know when she got into the 190s, then into the 180s, then into the 170s. And she would tell me, when she felt like it. I explained to her that after spending her money on all my expenses to keep going, "My fun is to see the progress you make, to be in on the numbers that go down and the transformation events that you experience!" I could see weight loss in her face. But her big, long bathrobe hid her shrinking body completely. She had checked in at 205 pounds. And she was a short lady. She left in the 170s. And although weight-loss was not at the top of her list of what she wanted to accomplish, she was pleased to see so much of it go in such a short time.
.
One time, toward the end of my daily visit, she stood up with her back to me and wiggled off the bottoms of her long pajamas while her robe was still on. I could not quite figure out why. Then she threw off the robe, raised her arms artistically far apart and way happy above her head with her hands spread out wide. Then? She began posing and prancing around the living room! She had put on her now-loose-fitting bathing suit -- just for me! In her youth, she had done nude modeling for artists. So she knew how to pose and prance -- even at age 66! She was beautiful! "This is what the 170s look like!" she announced. And I was shocked! It was the high point of the visit! She had a waist! She had much smaller hips! Her thighs and legs were so much smaller. In fact, they looked close enough to perfect to me! We screamed and shouted and laughed and clapped. And then, I begged her to do the whole show over again. And we screamed and shouted and laughed and clapped all over again! She informed me: "I'm happy! I took off 28 pounds! My caboose is gone!" My eyes teared over in high joy and gratitude!
.
9. Gyata brought her own sphygmomanometer for blood pressure readings. During that first long phone call at the end of which she put down her full reservation amount, she told me that she feared for her life, that she had been unable to get her blood pressure down after years of trying, that she did not want to be on medications. She had decided that she could not lose the weight on her own and that she could not get squarely on the salt-free and live-food diet on her own. She needed a safe haven to get a huge head start to her 135 ideal weight and to get her blood pressure readings into the normal range. Her blood pressure had been at its highest somewhere around 235/90. She had gotten it down to somewhere around 165/80 on medications. But these medications came with disturbing side effects ("poisoning effects," that is). She left with one reading one day towards the end of the 6 weeks at 127/73. When I asked her if she felt the financial investment of $500 a week had been worth it, she assured me: "I'm happy. My blood pressure is in the normal range. It was terrifying going to bed each night and having my heart and head pound, unable to sleep, wondering if a heart attack or a stroke would be the end of me. I was going to die if I didn't do something."
.
10. In closing, I like to think that dear and loving Gyata was happy to do one huge thing for me. If you go look up some of my biographical info at www.getwellstaywellamerica.com, you will read that I was born into a family of a mother and father who worked long hours and were seldom home except late at night, that an old grandmother tried to watch over us 5 daughters but had almost no control over us, and that my 4 older sisters had way beyond normal fighting patterns firmly established before I was even born. They were 4, 5, 6, and 10 years older than I. And they were jealous of me, so I am told, "from before the day you were born." I grew up getting battered several times daily from the time I was old enough to get off my father's lap until I was old enough to fight back and win. After I could beat back, the torment was emotional and unrelenting. I grew up in a war zone. All my life, I had portrayed myself as having not just the normal, rough childhood but as having it... "really, really bad." But when Gyata shared her childhood and teens story, it painted mine into a lovely picnic by comparison. Mine may have been "really, really bad" to those raised in a home steeped in Christian love. But I still had it really, really good in a few marvelous ways: I had my imagination and brains and boldness to see me through everything, I had my horses to ride like the wind and to love beyond description, and I had a father who would give me all kinds of attention as long as we were on wrecker calls or sanding down a car to the bare metal in preparation for painting or boring out engines or grinding down valves! Now, because of dear and loving Gyata, I am having to rethink my whole childhood! It was rough, but nothing so fearsome as hers. It could have been so much worse! At least, because I did have my horses, I was given the freedom to learn how to have FUN! FUN! FUN! WHAT A GREAT GIFT SHE HAS LEFT FOR ME! Now, of course, my "FUN! FUN! FUN!" in life is to spend my days doing all I can to help others, to glorify God, and to ride The HighJoy Horse when I have any time and energy leftover!
