This book was amazing. I couldn't put it down! Michelle is a brilliant writer and a fabulous storyteller. First off, this is one woman's remarkable account of being on the brink of death - then bouncing back through an option that most people wouldn't dream of, let alone think of: dry fasting - no food, no water, for an extended period of time to heal. Michelle, along with others before and after her, has trodden the path few of us go down and inspires the downtrodden to try something new. Her health was completely in shambles, and she managed to gain it all back through this unique methodology. I'm so grateful Michelle wrote this book. She has taken the topic of dry fasting - and remember, conventional Western wisdom says you can't live past 3 days without food and water - and completely overturned it as old logic. While it's unheard of in the West for us to go without food or water, it's completely natural and accepted as a form of therapeutic treatment in Russia where a prominent Russian medical doctor has helped thousands of people recover from cancers even. Michelle went to this doctor and his calm and kind, caring wisdom helped her in immeasurable ways. I myself had an advanced kidney disease. The doctors told me I would die, but I went ahead anyway and went raw/vegan and did long fasts. I completely recovered from it too, so I know Michelle is telling the truth in her account of a full recovery. I had never really explored dry fasting, and Michelle has introduced it to me in a way that makes it seem more approachable and like I can do it. I really also loved the Russian words sprinkled throughout - it was such a joy to read! I highly, highly recommend this book!!
