Dear Guest,
You may be wondering how did this Health Retreat come about? What inspired Vasili & Ania to step into this venture?
A couple years ago, just before our son Peter was born, we have gone through a nightmare experience of just about losing him.
A week before Peter was born, Vasili was diagnosed with the Whooping Cough. As you well know, it is a very contagious disease. After doing fairly extensive research, we have found that if a new born baby gets infected, stats say that only one out of ten survives it. That was not the greatest news for us. (Talking about needless sleepless nights and stress we had just before going into a labor.) What was interesting, Vasili had the Whooping Cough for the second time in his life now. That was really odd.
Tough, but what can you do. There is no “Quick Fix” for the whooping cough. Once you got it, you will be ”barking” for the next three months, just like a guard dog, whether you want it or not. (Deep down in my heart I was worried; how I will manage looking after the new born, cope with sleepless nights, never mind the thought of losing a baby and on top of everything listen to my husband's “barking.” A bit too much for expectant mother who should be focusing on relaxation and getting ready to deliver.)
When we saw our family physician, he told us; guys Vasili will have to stay away from the baby, and anyone who might come in contact with Peter for a little while, just to make sure he won't get infected. But Doc; we protested, hasn't the antibiotic did its due diligence to kill of the bug and start healing the body? Nopp. How come? Well, you see, it sort of decreases the amount of bacteria but does not kill it entirely.
Vasili protested: You mean to tell me that after I have tortured myself with these drugs, and my liver is just killing me I am still not clean of this whatever...?! Unfortunately, but yes, you are not 100% clear of it yet, said Doc. You are safe for the general public, but not for the newborns. See, if you can arrange a stay somewhere else for awhile. Please understand that is in your own interest to stay away from your son. You don't want him to die, do you?
Great way to start a family, isn't it...while I have to deal with sleepless nights, dippers, meals, pain, exhaustion, fear of possible infection...at that time your husband is having a good night sleep or at least trying to, God knows where. No, that was not an option I was happy with. I wanted to be cuddled by my loved one at home, help me care for the baby and just be around for the keep sake.
We have heard about Abundant Life Therapy Center, as it was known at that time, a couple times but thought it was way more than we could afford. This time we were thinking we'd better do something with Vasili's health and do it soon. Session was coming up in October and there was a spot available. Having looked over the budget, which by the way was not in the greatest shape, since Vasili was a university student at that time and I did not have the highest paying job prior to delivery, we decided to give it a try. Well, when you are up against the wall, you will do just about anything to make sure your little one is safe and secure, and more so, your husband is well. We borrowed the $$$ and off Vasili went to “pamper himself” at the cleansing retreat. Little did we know at that time what a great investment it could turn into and pleasant lifetime surprise this place will bring about.
While Vasili was being “pampered up” I had to stay home and deal with the mass. Let me tell you what my health was like at that time. Like any pregnant mother, I have gained more weight than I needed, face was covered with acne not to mention the back, energy levels were not the greatest and adding on top of that delivery, they were even lower (mothers you have been there); to top it off, I am a new immigrant and did not have my Mommy close by to help me get through the first few days of a “new life.”
My picture of health did not look the brightest before I got pregnant either: I had to deal with mood swings, occasional depression and excruciatingly painful PMSs, not to mention frequent colds. But so what, everyone had that, isn't it a norm? At least that was how I thought at that time.
As I was mourning over my pitiful lot the phone rang...Vasili was on the other line. Now, you might have experienced something like that before but I have never yet. My husband was so excited, so excited, so excited...I have never ever seen him like that in my life! He began telling me what he learnt about why he got sick and how much better he felt just after 4 day stay, and that and this, and (WOW) that he absolutely would like to change his eating habits...eating habits of my husband was very touchy issue (yours might be too. I have tried changing things around the house before but had very little success.). I simply could not believe the change, but you know, I doubted that it will last for too long with him. So I waited until he came. Wow!!! When he walked in the door I could see a different man, health was beaming from him, he would cough only a couple of time throughout entire day and hardly ever at night, he was loaded with energy. Since he had to go to the center in the middle of his Midterm exams, everything had to be caught up. Guess what, he did all exams in less than half the time and got straight As for all of them. He shared with me a lot of new ideas about health but one single the most important idea struck me the most--He told that these people over at the center teach people how to deal with the cause of poor health and not with the symptom.
From the day Vasili came back we have changed our lifestyle, eating habits, our relationships have greatly improved and we have started reaping many wonderful benefits. As we began eating ample amounts of green salads, vegetables, fruits and other wholesome foods, my face started clearing up, my weight have gone down to normal, moodiness have disappeared, energy levels have gone up, our sons health have gotten stronger and the list can go on and on. You remember, I have not even gone through the program yet at that time.
But wait here is topping for the pie. Those ten days have had such an impact on my husband that we have decided we want to be helping other people get well too. We want to see happy families, healthy kids, pain free grandparents, see families loose such words from their vocabulary as Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Surgeries.... Our grand-grand fathers did not even have those words in their vocab, why should we? They died with their teeth in and yet most of our children have half of their teeth removed by the age 20. Good teeth is a sign of good health, bad teeth is a sign of ....
We took on a challenge and began planning to open a center just like the one Vasili have gone through...and by the time we have turned around we are running one center ourselves. Would you expect such phenomenal outcome as this from such torturous experience as we have gone through? Not really, but apparently the worst has turned into the best, just because we were willing to try something different, something that made sense, something that was simple and would enable us with power of how to deal with the cause of the disease not the symptom, something that would not hook us up on a humongous list of supplements and as a result we would be well.
Most probably you are looking for a way to get your health into a better condition too, just like we were not too long ago. You might have developed at least one or more serious health conditions and it is too tiring for you to be popping the pills or visiting family doctor. You look at yourself and say, I go to that office more often than I went to see my loved one when I was dating. Or you might be advanced health seeker who knows quite well the benefits of regular body cleansing...but to do it at home is just too boring and lonesome...plus you have might have tried a couple of products and just did not have enough time to stick to it all the way through. So you say to yourself, here I will at least have to stick to the program and finish it all the way to the end. Whatever it might be you want to get rid of that...costs to much, hurts too much, bothers too much, or just embarrassing; it would be our privilege to assist you in shaking off. Why bother carry junk that makes you sick? Junk it.
Here at the Abundant Life Wellness Centre we have a saying: ”If it is meant for you to be with us for a cleansing session, everything will fall in place and you will be here.” What matters the most for us, is that your heart is ready to bless you with the extraordinary experience of intensive whole body detoxification, energy boost, deal with unresolved past or emotions, spiritual renewal, information breakthrough and just pampering. I mean, life does not have to be just boredom, drudgery and gloomy; have some fun, treat yourself and your loved ones like your want other to treat you. Take your time to listen to what ”the heart” has to say. Most people that have a job often told us, ”logically everything was against me yet deep down inside, I wanted to come; I knew my body was fairly dirty, I felt tired all the times and was just fed up popping in antidepressant pills and other 'quick fixer-uppers.' So I did listen to my heart and came. Friends, it has been the greatest experience I have ever had in the recent years.”
