Food itself is the medicine

Three times a day we make a decision that acts on the body longer and harder than any medicine. But we stop treating it as a decision — it runs on as habit.

The camp’s first job is to turn that habit back into a decision. For seven days the timing, quantity and nature of food are all fixed, so the body can show what it actually needs.

Nobody joins a cut finger back together — it closes by itself. That same capacity works inside the body too, provided it is given the chance.

The chance means rest. While the digestive system is permanently at work, there is no time left for repair. Fasting and light food create exactly that interval.
