I first heard of detoxification of the body through a book called 'The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity by Daniel P. Reid
In it, it promulgated the benefits of detoxifying the body through fasting. By fasting, normally over the course of a week, the body cleanses itself. Your blood is thinner and it starts using up the stored up fat in your body.
At Atsumi Healing Centre, you are able to either stay on or off site. It is a good idea to be there most of the daylight hours, as this the best way to avoid the tempting culinary of Thai cuisine.
In your price, you get a daily massage, all your herbs and shakes (this is what you eat / drink to stop hunger and start your cleansing process), 2 colonic irrigations a day (everybody say 'YEE HAH") and best of all, 2 free coconuts a day (to keep your sanity)
What you can expect -
To have an experience which is like nothing you have ever experienced before!
For someone who hasn't fasted before in my whole life, my body was in complete shutdown mode from day one. This may also be attributed to the fact that I did not do a proper prefast prior to commencing the fast.
Days were long and getting up from my seat and walking from one spot to another was a dizzying, energy sapping mission. One of the toughest things I have ever done, maybe even tougher than training Muay Thai for 3 hours a day, 6 days a week.
In the end though, my body looked the fittest it has ever been (look photo above) and my skin was 'radiant' (not my own words...)
There are also spiritual consultants that you can book yourself in to see, ranging from psychics and psychologists to NLP experts. I did a session (5,000 THB) involving Holotropic Breating; a mind-blowing experience in itself.
Cost -
30,810 THB for a 7 day full fast, I paid significantly less than this, as does anyone who is staying at Rawai Muay Thai / Gong's Bungalows
