Water fast

Hello, my name is Yuval Cohen, 30 years old, I was born in Mount Adar near Jerusalem, I grew up in Rosh Ha'Ain and in recent years I have been living in Tel Aviv. I had a great childhood, a bit with learning difficulties and such but nothing special. A supportive family, friends, basketball, scouts and many hobbies. Somewhere around the age of 15 at the beginning of high school something started to go wrong, one day I started to feel unwell. Extreme fatigue, headaches and fever that lasted for a month without being able to move out of bed when I just slept most of the day.

This is where my health journey began, at first they thought it was the kissing disease, but little by little they sent me for more and more tests and in the negative way, after almost a year of uncertainty, they finally came to the conclusion that it was Crohn's inflammatory bowel disease through blood tests of a CPR inflammation index of about 18 (the norm is up to half), colonoscopy tests, endoscopy and finally a capsule test. At this point I just wanted to know what I had and looked for a name for it. It created a sense of relief for me, even though it is a chronic incurable disease according to Western medicine, but at least I know what I am facing.

As an initial treatment at the Schneider Children's Hospital in Petah Tikva, I was offered a diet based on the Ensure supplement for a month and a half, I immediately agreed because I preferred it to medications that up until that moment in my life I did not even know how to swallow pills and indeed it helped quite a bit. But unfortunately the situation deteriorated again and I had to do another session of Ensure for another month and a half when according to the rumors at that stage I was the only child who did nutrition based on Ensure for almost 3 consecutive months. After that I didn't really have a choice anymore and the fast road towards the world of drugs and pills was paved before me, it started with Fantasa and steroids and after that continued for several good years on Imoran.

At that point I was struggling to finish high school, I was studying in a technology major that included the maximum number of units that could be extended 10 in computers and another 5 in chemistry when in fact I was absent for the entire 11th grade and returned only in graduation. With a lot of effort and with the amazing help of the teaching staff and various associations, I was able to stay in the major and even complete full matriculation certificates.

In the background of the discovery of the disease and the struggle in high school, I also started to be selected for the army, since I was studying computers, I was contacted by all the different intelligence units until I actually realized that I could not enlist as usual and I was given a forced medical exemption. But that didn't stop me either and I decided to try and volunteer for the army and indeed it was, I completed 3 years as a volunteer and another two years on a permanent basis.

One of my childhood dreams was to work as an escort at ski resorts and indeed I fulfilled this dream, I worked 4 consecutive seasons in Italy and another season in New Zealand where I did a snowboard instructor course one of the most powerful experiences I had. But even during all these years that the soul was in good health I had no relief from the pain. I continued to suffer from stomach pains, I started bleeding frequently in my stools, I found myself abstaining from food for whole days just so that I could function and I had to use a lot of drugs again, mainly steroids and medical cannabis.

After this chapter in my life, I realized that I wanted to settle down and decided, despite serious concerns, to register for a bachelor's degree and start studying, I chose an entrepreneurship and business administration degree that I felt suited my character perfectly and at the same time I joined the company that my father founded with a partner in the high-tech field as a business development and innovation manager.

I had 3 and a half amazing years, full of action, a sense of success, in the first year of studies I also decided to finally say goodbye to the drugs and after a period of about a year I took a significant step and stopped injecting myself with the pretentious biological drug that was really the last experience for me with Western medicine and really did not help, only harmed me in a way personal. Up to this point in time I had already been through dozens if not hundreds of different doctors and treatments and I had not seen a balm.

Actually, everything is focused on my last year of studies, 2022, third year, in which my health began to deteriorate at a significant rate. After years of a stable weight, I lost about 10 kg uncontrollably, from 77 kg and a muscular body to 67 kg, the bleeding and pain became non-stop, this manifested in a combination of hemorrhoids, fissure and fistula to the point where I simply could not sit the ass In fact, for almost an entire semester, I had to study only from the bed lying down while I continued as if I was "normal" also working, whether it was Zoom meetings with clients or studying for tests. At that point I was very worried if I would even be able to complete the degree, but I decided that no matter how, I would do it and no matter what grades I would finish it with.

While I was struggling to finish my degree and upon reaching the age of 30 I realized that I had to find a solution, the truth is that I was quite tired of trying but I realized that my whole life is ahead of me and I want to live it to the best of my abilities and just enjoy what life has to offer. I felt that Crohn's did not stop me, but undoubtedly delayed and made it difficult for me in many cases.

Over the years I have simultaneously had many attempts with alternative medicine, whether it is various health consultants, acupuncture, reflexology, massage, nutritional supplements, psychological treatments and even hypnosis, but what winked at me the most was medical water fasting, which I have researched a lot over the past few months. In my imagination, I saw all the wounds and ulcers that I have in the digestive system and around the anus all day scratching and re-wounding that I keep eating, for example an open wound on my hand that I keep scratching and itching without stopping and I don't let it heal until the bleeding stops, so for me this is the only solution to deal with the problem.

I realized that in order to do something like this I need to come mentally prepared, whole and do it in a sterile environment that for me there was only one option on the table which is also the best option for me - the health center in Kibbutz Toval directed by Eliran de Mayo. I got to know the health center already in 2018 at the age of 25, I came here for a period of about 5 weeks during which I did a week of juice nutrition that greatly improved my health and mental state, the stay there gave me energy for the last years. But this time I came much more learned, focused and goal-oriented towards the water fast. After the first week of staying at the health center, during which I ate two days of organic and healthy vegan nutrition and another 5 days of juice nutrition, I started the water fast. When it was very important to do it gradually. In the first conversation with Eliran, we decided that we would simply start and flow with what the body and mind would allow without setting a target of days for water fasting.

I will share the entire process I went through here at the Health House, in a daily blog and videos on Instagram in the most authentic and revealing way so that as many people as possible will be exposed to this wonder of the Health House, natural health, water fasting and the body's ability to simply heal itself without any medicine.

I feel that I gave myself the best possible gift for turning 30 that I didn't celebrate properly in light of the pain and from here I'm embarking on a new path that I'm most excited about in the world.

Thank you very much for reading, I wish everyone good health! Appreciate and love Yuval ❤️

Supervised water fasting is documented for the first time in Israel - 40 days.

By: Dr. Ofer Shahar - expert in family medicine

"Aliran is no longer a nutrition or diet consultant, despite being one of the most educated people in the field."

I got to know Eliran for the first time face to face among green trees, in the center of Kibbutz Toval in the Galilee. I met an impressive man, smiling and pleasant to talk to. Such a humble man who is connected to nature and the beauty of creation in every inch of his limbs, a man whose art of healing and passion for knowledge and understanding of the biological processes of our bodies and the symbiosis between them and the environment in which we live, flows through him and radiates from him.

I know this because throughout the time we've known each other, every time I read something Eliran writes or when we get to argue about one issue or another, I always feel the same feeling, Not from one or another "therapist" who talks over you, from a place of ultimate knowledge, but from a place of partnership, equality, humility and a true and sincere desire to accompany you on your way to achieving an optimal quality of life. A process of restoring health to your life, something that has been there since time immemorial and perhaps in the race of modern life, has been lost.

What is health? After all, this is not material that can be obtained from one meeting, one consultation. This is not a pill or a medicine or a supplement or a plant that can be bought at Beit Teva. Health is not achieved from a menu that is stuck with a magnet on the refrigerator or from a post that we read on the Internet. Health is not achieved from acupuncture or chiropractic care or an organic green smoothie.

Health is first of all something that is within us. Health is intrinsic/internal that is built into each of us from the moment we are born and the role of a good therapist, in my humble opinion, is first and foremost to restore balance and let the body do what it needs to do and with as few interruptions as possible.

This is exactly Eliran's approach. In fact it is his language. And, as a doctor for many years now, I can't help but agree more with this approach.

Eliran, brings himself, his experience and his wisdom of life based on countless hours of reading and studying. Eliran is an autodidact which is rare to find nowadays and the knowledge he has acquired over the years is unfathomable even to me, as someone who has lived and breathed the world of medicine for the past twenty years. Aliran has a rare ability to separate the main from the bland , to see the picture as a whole and understand that asparagus or sprouted lentils or kale, despite the multitude of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants they contain, do not turn a person from sick to healthy.

Eliran succeeds with most of his talent in conveying topics that I know from medical studies as extremely complex, in an easy, simple and immersive way. Such that as you listen and progress with the lectures, you just want to get more and more from him. It is not always easy to digest the words. You will surely have objections.

It is natural because in the world we live in today where information is available at the click of a mouse to anyone, but at the same time can be misleading, confusing and creates chaos in the understanding that ordinary people have about health and medicine issues, in such a world, many of us are sure of certain truths to the point of faith In the religion "veganism is the only way. Fish is poison. Berries are a superfood. Everything but sugar. Everything but salt. Fat is essential. Fat is full of toxins..." and countless other such and other approaches. People from all the 'nutritional camps' go to war every day for their opinions and their religion.

Eliran, being a man of peace, instead of going to war over his opinions, presents them in a quiet, matter-of-fact, professional manner and supported as much as possible by medical research. And although these are his opinions, or this is his position in his understanding of the existing professional literature (and this can also be debated), throughout the series of lectures he repeatedly encourages the audience to think critically, to question his statements and not to follow him as followers who follow their guru.

Eliran asks, or even requires, the students to develop tools for self-study, self-reading and understanding the importance of placing question marks at the end of each sentence. At Eliran you won't hear statements like - it's like that because I said it or it's like that because I know or it's like that because from my experience it's like that.

Yes, you will hear a statement like - it's like that because that's what the current research supports. Maybe it will change in the future but as of today, this is what is known and clear from the nutritional or medical research and in doing so, there is a big news and a fundamental difference between the content conveyed by him and what I got to hear from many other therapists. During the series of lectures, beyond the nutritional topics, a lot of attention is also given to topics that are rarely heard of elsewhere. Areas related to the air we breathe, the water we drink, the importance of the sun for human health, issues related to mental health and the close connection between physical health and mental health and many more.

Eliran is no longer a nutrition or diet consultant, despite being one of the most educated people in the field. This series of lectures is also not a program that deals with nutritional recommendations or recommendations for weight loss. In such a complex world where many factors are mixed with each other, influencing each other, for better or for worse. In this world Eliran makes order. It begins with explanations of basic processes related to the human body, to the effects of nutrition on our genetic expression and from there, heel to toe, progresses further and further into the depth of things, while covering a huge amount of topics that are all, without exception, connected to the basic essence of health.

It is not just about informative content, such as can be obtained through books or standard lectures, but it is about imparting a very deep approach and understanding to all aspects of achieving health and balance in our lives. In order to know how not to hinder the body from doing what it knows very well to do, it is necessary to understand first and foremost what are the obstacles.

A great many variables enter into this equation and Eliran's uniqueness is in his wonderful ability to explain each of these variables as eloquently and simply as possible, one by one, until the puzzle is completed. The same puzzle that makes up the concept of health and can allow each of us the good, pleasant and happy life we ​​deserve.

In my opinion, and after listening to Eliran's content with great attention, I have no doubt that any person who wants to take responsibility for his life and health will be able to benefit greatly from the messages that Eliran has to convey. Even if you don't agree with all the statements, even if you doubt some of them, you can still get an instructive lesson in understanding the processes that contribute to and harm our health, you can understand the subtle connections between the multitude of systems in the body and the interactions between them, you can learn the effects of the body on the mind and the mind on the body, and all that While receiving tools for self-study, for asking questions and casting doubt on all kinds of "truths" that are published every morning in the press and media.

This is a program that, in my opinion, can give you a firm and solid foundation in understanding the concept of health, one that you can take for many years to come and can guide you in making the right choices. The choice is yours. What to eat, how to move, how much to sleep, how to achieve peace of mind. Eliran succeeds in an unusual way and in his unique way of giving the tools and allowing each of you to make the right choices for you.

As a family doctor for about 12 years, with close to 2,000 patients in three clinics, I can only admire such a wonderful program. Deep, thorough, detailed and inspiring hope for the ability to make a real and lasting change, with a great degree of sensitivity, which can bring about a dramatic benefit in the quality of life, in the prevention of chronic diseases and in achieving true health for each of us. At any age and in any situation.

To the health of all of us!

My name is Sagi...

This letter is really long, but for you (not for me) - I recommend that you read every word of it to the end... I came to the health center following the recommendation of a friend who was there for two separate sessions of one week each. The friend came there due to cancer...

One day he caught me and told me that I owe it to myself to go to the health center for at least a week, this advice, which at the time I didn't quite understand why he was giving it to me, turned out to be golden advice and was also accompanied by a very important tip that accompanied me whenever I was at the health center during the week - don't be Be judgmental and not critical.

It is difficult to understand this advice and the depth of its meaning until you experience the health center.

It took me at least 3 days to begin to understand the depth and power of the experience and to give myself the freedom to be free, to remove all the masks (or at least most of them), and to enjoy a complete reboot of my entire being, body, soul and mind (mind=consciousness/awareness).

As the days passed I realized that I didn't understand...

I thought to Tomi, quite superficially, I must admit, that I came to lose weight, yes, I am a big man, I arrived at the health center weighing 130 kg, which I have been carrying on my legs, which have been suffering for over a year, I arrived with crazy heartburn from which I suffered for about a year and a half And for Tommy, I thought I had come to treat these external symptoms, but at the health center, I suddenly realized that the story is completely different and I am actually "the blue man from another story and not the green man..." (thanks to Yoni Rechter).

Already on the second day I entered the framework of an activity that begins at 05:45 (winter time), with a meditative sunrise walk, walking without speaking with introspection - what the hell is introspection??? In order to see the beauty of the sunrise viewed from the slopes of Kibbutz Toval with an amazing view of Karmiel and the Arab village of Majd al-Khrum, the lights that are on before sunrise are a preparation for the amazing red sun that rises. The idea is to look at it for a long time as long as it is not too dazzling, the exposure to the sun at sunrise, as Eliran explains (we will talk about it later), causes suppression of the secretion of a substance called (melatonin) that is secreted at night and in the dark, with the main effects being regulation of the biological clock, metabolism, the immune system and improvement the mood By the way, you will meet this sun again on the western side of Toval during the great sunset.

The rest of the day from 07:00 in the morning until 20:30 in the evening includes a vegan diet (some people choose to fast to varying degrees), a variety of changing activities including aerobic activity (honor to Stevie), Pilates (with the amazing peak), yoga (with the songs of the One and the Only - miss...), dance, nature walks, meditation, healing learning and healing nutrition with Eliran De-Mayo Eliran De-Mayo (founder of the health center), kitchen workshops and more (you have to leave something for curiosity)...

Teaser: When you arrive at the health center, watch for eye strain, nail biting and eyebrow plucking for an evening of circular breathing...

In the middle of the day, you will be asked to lie down on the grass for an hour in order to absorb the sun's rays again and give your body the vitamin D it loves so much...

Here it is important to say that until I arrived at the health center I was not aware of the importance of the overall triangle: nutrition / movement / sleep which are the three components of which have a holistic effect on our inner and outer world, on our feelings, on our health and anyway on our sense of happiness.

I will also say that before I arrived I thought I would find myself in a group of chubby people (I chose an affectionate name in order not to insult myself), but I was wrong. In the group that was with me were: A cancer patient, a Parkinson's patient, a corona patient, a fibromyalgia patient, a young man with severe intestinal problems, a woman who came to lose weight or else she would have to undergo knee surgery, just one (very special) person who came because her family members who were there recommended her, and more. I want to say that everyone came for a completely different reason and this holistic triangle (nutrition, movement, sleep) answered everyone while making the necessary adjustments (it's impossible without a little legal language to warm the atmosphere).

I finished my week at the health center with a weight reduced by 6 kg, according to the law of conservation of mass there is no loss of matter which means that someone in this world got my 6 kg and I apologize to him from this stage. But as I mentioned, this is only the most external and visible symptom of the process I went through at the health center. With a deeper look, I went through a RESET of my entire being, my thinking, my anchors, dealing with temptations (the food temptation of course), creating a new order of priorities that put my health and happiness before everything else, I came back a new person - to my taste, better! Although there are those who were also satisfied with me before...

Since I returned home, I have been accompanied by Eliran ("took it upon himself" to accompany me for another 3 months), so that I wouldn't run away from the highway back to the goat trail that I walked on before I was exposed to the health center. I maintain a vegan diet (my wife supports me from the kitchen), I exercise every morning, either a 7 km sunrise walk or a 6.5 km run, I signed up for a yoga studio 2-3 times a week, I am strict about my sleeping hours, on Saturdays Walking with my wife (who will live) 10 km on the promenade of Tel Aviv (Tel Aviv Ya Habibi Tel Aviv), as of today, about a month since I arrived at the health center I lost about 10 kg (remember how much I weighed?).

What else does a man need? Oh yes... this person (me), needs to shed the extra 40 kg that is unnecessary on him (third person), and I apologize in advance to whoever they go to - remember the law of conservation of mass?

A few words about Eliran de Mayo - medicine, nature, man: the founder of the health center, a young man, amazing in the amount of knowledge he has in detail about every medical problem, about every detail of food, about every drug, about every activity we have in the body, attitude An extraordinary personal and human experience accompanied by personal healing processes - he healed me. Eliran demonstrates a human-personal connection and with me (and with my wife who will live), created a bond of lasting trust, as mentioned to divert me from the goat path back to the highway and control my life.

From here to the recommendation (full disclosure: I did not receive compensation and I will not get anything out of it again)

The health center has changed my life in so many ways, although only a month has passed and maybe it is too early to crown me with crowns of success, but the feeling that I am in the right direction and the change is starting to become my new nature. A week (maybe more), in my opinion, the health center is recommended for everyone, even for those who are sure that everything is fine with them, go find out what you will discover about yourself, what insights you will connect to from this week, where you will reach from this inward self-observation, the profit is guaranteed

And in conclusion, I'm giving you a picture of before and after (so that you know I'm not from Haim Etgar's "The Impersonators" program, but from the "Yitzat Tsaddik" program)...
