Dear Dr. Chung:

 I'm going to be frank and to the point with you.  As a regular reader
of this newsgroup I am concerned about your mental health.  A long list
of subscribers to sci.med.cardiology and the christian newsgroups you
cross-post to have expressed their concerns about your mental state.

 How would you feel about getting an evaluation by a psychiatrist and
maybe getting on a suitable medication like Risperdal, Abilify, etc.?
It's quite clear from the tone and content of your postings that you
are suffering from some amount of psychosis.

 Although you and perhaps some others may feel a posting like this is
inappropriate, I feel I had a moral obligation to bring this to your
attention.  Why?  Because often people with a serious mental illness
involving psychosis do not realize on their own that they are sick, and
it is only by others telling them that they are sick and encouraging
them to seek help that they will do so.

 Certainly if you started having chest pain with palpitations you
would not hesitate to have testing and the requisite medical treatment.
It should be no different with your mental health.  Millions of
christians have suffered from serious mental illness.  Millions have
improved with treatment.

 Quite a number of people just on usenet now have told you that you
are sick and need help.  I can only hope that after enough people tell
you this that you will be willing to entertain the possibility that you
may indeed be ill and will seek help.

 I wish you the best,

Kevin

You will be hoping for a very long time. Paranoid schizophrenics with
religious persecution complex, such as Mr. Chung, are not inclined to
respond to pleas from the internet. Unless he suffers a complete breakdown
or someone takes away his computer I suspect he will be here for many years
to come.

He'll probably think you're satan coming at him in a psychological guise.

If he ACTUALLY is starving himself, somebody in his locale should alert the
authorities to intervene.

Many thanks to GOD for your kind heart to show concern for another.

In truth, many have borne false witness in stating that I suffer from
mental illness.

Such medications would likely decrease the high level of functioning
that comes from the LORD's many blessings.

Not to the discerning.

Many of my social and civic contacts are folks who are in the mental
health profession (actually my wife's friends because she is a
psychologist).  They do not seem to hold the opinion that being openly
Christian is a sign of psychosis.

Serious mental illness in a born-again Christian is manifest by the
following:

(1) Social isolation and loss of zeal in praising GOD.

(2) Decreased or loss of prayer life.  Being unable to pray.

(3) No longer able to either read or discuss the Bible.

Which of these do you believe I exhibit?

None have been qualified to make such a diagnosis in person much less
over usenet.  Indeed, I am around folks in various social and church
functions who are more qualified to tell me about such concerns.

In truth, LORD GOD Almighty has been keeping me completely well.

"Many of my social and civic contacts are folks who are in the mental

psychologist).  They do not seem to hold the opinion that being openly
Christian is a sign of psychosis."

This is not the concern of the original poster and of myself for you.
Your expression of views is not the question, the general pattern of
other behaviors and thought patterns regardless of topic is.

"Serious mental illness in a born-again Christian is manifest by the
following:

(1) Social isolation and loss of zeal in praising GOD.

(2) Decreased or loss of prayer life.  Being unable to pray.

(3) No longer able to either read or discuss the Bible.

Which of these do you believe I exhibit?"

These have no standing either in medicine or theology.  However another
list bearing upon distortions of behavior and thought process could be
posted, but you in your previous training during medical rotations would
already know them.  The only question is if you are still able to
recognise how they might apply to you just now.  Failure to be able to
do this self reflection is one of the measures of the problem and of
diagnosis that is on the list.

"None have been qualified to make such a diagnosis in person much less
over usenet.  Indeed, I am around folks in various social and church
functions who are more qualified to tell me about such concerns."

That people who are not hostile to you can even over usanet discern
various
patterns of behavior and distortions of thought is a measure of its
reason
to be a concern for all interested for your welfare.

Again, one central problem is a failure of interpretation of self that
is
distorted which instills failure to grasp or dismiss what others are
indeed
saying.  As I have suggested several times now, you need an external
reference such as your spiritual or medical advisor by which they might
guide you in the self reflection process that you might not be able to
perform just now. If then there is no problem then you and we can be at
peace on our concerns.  God's blessing and protection and peace upon
you.

(Fwiw, I certainly have not been hearing any.)

As for your fantasies about my having a mental illness, it is unlikely
that anti-psychotic medications will dispel them.

You're not the best judge of that. Claiming that you've been starving

Curious that you would be compelled to write this comparison.

An alcoholic is addicted to alcohol which robs the alcoholic of his/her
insight so that s/he is not cognizant of the harm that the addiction
has had on his/her life.  Only Christ-centered approaches have been
shown to work in helping such folks overcome their lack of insight
through a change in their hearts leading to a confession of both the
addiction and other sins.  Only GOD can change hearts in such a manner
and so the solution to alcoholism has been Christianity.

A born-again Christian choose to have a relationship with Christ Jesus,
Who gives him/her HIS peace which passes all worldly understanding so
that his/her life in this world is a more abundant one in HIM sans
fear, worry, and despair. This is a vast improvement from life without
HIM which may have been one plagued with alcoholism, drug addiction,
pornography, adultery, and/or other sins.

Actually, because I remain hungry thanks to the Holy Spirit, Who has
kept me well, I have not been starving.

Actually, it remains wise to obey GOD even if you are just a fig tree

This implies that alchoholics of other religions than xianity, or people who
are atheists/agnostics, are never cured of alcoholism.

Clear nonsense, and a further indication of your inability to deal with
reality and your mental problems.

Indeed, without Christ, alcoholism is never cured even though a person

Wrong, I understand clearly that after claiming to be on a 40 day fast, you
will not furnish even an online photo to indicate the weight loss that would
come from such a fast.

If casual acquaintances at the health fair we held in Mableton
yesterday only noticed that I seemed younger when they see me in
person, what makes you believe that an on-line photo will prove to you
that I had been fasting.

http://TheHealthFair.com

My friends and family have gifted me with better fitting clothes for my
more sinewy near 0% body fat frame so the clothes I am wearing are not
baggy, BTW.  They seem to believe that I may choose to remain as
lean&trim as I have become.  However, most assuredly, my new shape is
from the LORD and not from me.

My height is 5'10" and a balance-beam scale measured my weight at 125
lbs at the end of my 40 day&night fast yesterday evening (was 145 lbs
at day 1). Blood pressure was 105/75.  Heart rate was regular at 60.
EKG was normal sinus rhythm without any changes associated with
electrolyte abnormalities. Still bench pressing 250 lbs so have not
lost any muscle.  Just had 8 ounces for lunch.  Best tasting turkey
sandwiches I have ever had.  The Holy Spirit has kept me from eating
more so HE is keeping me from re-feeding problems.

"Hunger is the best pickle (i.e. seasoning)"  -- Benjamin Franklin

Still very hungry after eating, thankfully, so I know the sandwiches
were blessed by LORD GOD Almighty per the pre-meal prayer in Jesus'
most precious and holy name.

"Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied." -- LORD
Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen !

When people lose weight, the aging lines show up more distinctly.

When people gain weight, the aging lines become LESS apparent.

Your comment works against the idea that you lost any weight, or were
ACTUALLY on a fast.

Everytime you fail to post a photo of you after this "fast",  your
credibiliy goes even lower.

Didn't he say his "wife" is a psychologist?  Perhaps this is all an
experiment (his fanatical rantings) so his wife can write a paper on
how people respond?   Perhaps he is sitting there in front of his

Apparently it's been going on for years and his professional career has
suffered for it.

Have a look at this post from 2004

417ffd16$0$63176$4d5ecec7@reader.city-net.com

Ko0ki Andi, around the time he was starting to become totally unhinged,
used to state he does not crosspost. Now anything he replies to is
crossposted to all the groups he wants to dominate and destroy. His own
words at the time were that he does not ever crosspost, only reply to
crossposts of others. Many times he has been caught out in that
particular lie over the years.

A liar, condemned by his own words and actions. Watch him edit this post
and crosspost it into the groups he wants to destroy, claiming to
'love' everyone.  Tough love huh? As were his k00ksoot posts at the time
threatening everyone with libel suits if they dared call him on
anything.

Now consider the "earthquake advisory" posts and prophecy of nuclear war
that...um...doesn't happen.

That's false prophecy then.

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies ..." 2 Pet. 2:1

So in summary, k0oki Andi the unemployed, sacked former Florida
physician is a liar and false prophet. Add them up, particularly the
numerous lies he gets caught out in. Serving the Prince of Lies and a
false prophet...doesn't that make k0oki Andi a Satanic pipsqueak and
servant of evil by his own words and deeds?

Beware the blessings of a fraudulent, lying k0ok.

How did you find a low carb diet, grin?  With your weight loss the low

Fasting is not a diet just as the 2PD-OMER Approach is not a diet.

As what someone has written earlier, fasting is the 0PD-OMER Approach.

> With your weight loss the low carb must work, grin.

Logically, the weight loss with the 0PD-OMER Approach is an
extrapolation of what is seen with the 2PD-OMER Approach in the
extreme.

Because of no muscle loss, the Holy Spirit may have supplied the
essential amino acids obviating the need for structural protein (ie
muscle) breakdown.  One possibility is through the digestion and
absorption of gut bacteria.

Absolutely. A pic with the shirt off, after a 40 day fast would definitely
be a clear indication of a recent large reduction in weight. He can't afford
to post a pic like that.

He also has claimed no muscle mass loss over this 40 day fast. I doubt that
that is even physiologically possible.

I see this as a distinction without a difference, a quibble of words and

diet, grin.

We and you do not know about muscle loss, that can only be confirmed by
before and after technical physical measures.

At very best, gut bacteria
would have been used for a few days only, most are adapted to producing
enzymes to break down carbohydrates, some fewer percent for protein
breakdown. The product of those bacteria, and other organisms not
bacteria,
is gas and fatty acids not protein.  How do you propose the protein gets
from the colon into the body?

In a few days they would be severely diminished in amount as they are
constantly being passed from the gut, along with the cell lining of the
gut which is protein and which requires external protein to be replaced.

You remind me of satan's ability to speak out of both corners of his
mouth, discordant things, at the same time.  He also does this while
grinning.

Strength measure is a technical physical measure.  Strength remains
preserved.

The colon has the adaptive capability to absorb small molecules such as
simple amino acids, sugars, and vitamins along with the water that it
absorbs.

Your writing this is a clear indication that you have no experience
with fasting either first-hand or vicariously through someone close to
you.

Hint:  Nothing is passing through the gut.

It is written that "man does not live on bread alone but every word
that comes out of the mouth of GOD."  A word from GOD can compel rocks
to turn to bread, and for a few barley loaves and two small fish to
become several bushelfuls of food, enough to feed thousands.

"Strength measure is a technical physical measure.  Strength remains"

Without objectivly verified measure in this spicific case, actually it
is not.  Did you continue to do strength,ie. resistive, exercise?  
Muscle protein is one of the first sources broken down when protein is
not taken in for long periods.  This is first and foremost the fibers of
muscle.

""The colon has the adaptive capability to absorb small molecules such
as simple amino acids, sugars, and vitamins along with the water that it
absorbs."

It is most adapted to the fatty acids which is the product of the
bacteria and other organisms.  It is poorly able to adapt to providing
amino acids for absorption, after all those fewer bacteria etc.
metabolising them do so for their own support and little if any is
available to be absorbed.  In any case, as mentioned, what ever use can
be made of gut bacteria for a protein source is limited, they start
destroying themselves and continue to be passed from the gut only for a
short time after external sources are lost.

"Your writing this is a clear indication that you have no experience
with fasting either first-hand or vicariously through someone close to
you."

I choose not to discuss my fasting life, we are commanded by our Lord
not to make a public spectacle of it and other matters in the religious
life in Him.

"Hint: Nothing is passing through the gut."

Quite, actually it is not doing so because as mentioned the bacteria of
the gut is a limited, in time and amount, of protein, if at all and the
bacteria is soon passed or depleted; except for that breaking down the
protein lining of the gut..

"It is written that "man does not live on bread alone but every word
that comes out of the mouth of GOD."  A word from GOD can compel rocks
to turn to bread, and for a few barley loaves and two small fish to
become several bushelfuls of food, enough to feed thousands."

IN truth it didn't happen in your case, least it would not have been a
fast, smile.  Did you seek the advice of your spiritual advisor before
undertaking the fast as to its spiritual valure for you?

Thank you for praying on my behalf, God's blessing and protection and
peace upon you.

Not for training but for measuring strength objectively.

Actually, for chemical energy, the body opts to break down fat first,
glycogen next, and protein last when conditions are optimal.

No. The colon is most adapted for passive absorpton of water and
solutes.  Absorption of fatty acids occurs in the small intestine.

Depends on the bacteria.  There are other nitrogen containing organic
compounds produced by some bacteria that can be readily absorbed
through the colon to allow the body to synthesize the amino acids it
needs stored carbohydrates.

Actually, gut bacteria do not undergo apoptosis.  When there is less
substrates to sustain them, they simply slow down their rates of cell
division.

Actually, LORD Jesus Christ issued only two commandments to HIS
followers.  Not discussing fasting is not one of these two
commandments.  It is not even one of HIS suggestions.  Indeed,  HE did
not rebuke HIS disciples for discussing fasting with John's disciples.

You are incoherent here.

What the Holy Spirit does to the insides my body does not change the
fast which is defined as no food being ingested by mouth.

> Did you seek the advice of your spiritual advisor before
> undertaking the fast as to its spiritual valure for you?

My spiritual advisor led me to the fasting which was undertaken out of
obedience.

You would have known this had you been reborn of water and the Holy
Spirit.

Thanks be to Christ Jesus, my LORD, my Savior, and my GOD.

And you've seen this in action? You have first-hand visual confirmation
of what "satan's" smile looks like? What does his voice sound like?

Do tell.

I see no "writing" here. Would suggest you consult a psychiatrist about
your hallucinations.

Interpretation of "his" word can apparently turn the brain to jelly.

Actually, no. They become more obsessed by their religion, often their
morbid sense of dread is expressed through interpreting passages from
the Bible in a fanciful and self-referential manner.

> (2) Decreased or loss of prayer life.  Being unable to pray.

Actually, they may well turn to fanatical praying to try and summon God
to alleviate their morbid dread, and their ideas of reference, which
they may recognise as being false in moments of comparative lucidity.
When these ideas become hallucinations, particularly auditory ones,
they are likely to interpret them as posession by either angels or
demons, or the Holy Spirit.

> (3) No longer able to either read or discuss the Bible.

They often become obsessed with the more morbidly fanatical passages of
the Bible, especially Revelation.

I think your question has been answered.

A good friend of mine, who is the most deeply devout Christian I know,
has had two severe episodes of psychosis. I was present when Christian
counsellors called on her at her own request during the early stages of
her first illness when the only symptom being displayed was Capgras'
Syndrome. They discussed God a lot, and prayed for her. The next day
she rang me to let me know she was contacting the police about the
imposters, and the game 'they' (a diferent they from the impostors,
indeed, from what I could gather, 'they' were responsible for replacing
people) were playing with her mind through the electricity supply. Two
weeks  later, shortly after having another attempt at Christian
counselling, she was ivnolved in a violent struggle with a frail and
elderly close relative, and was arrested in her own home under section
2 of the Mental Health Act 3 days aterwards.

Her symptoms were best alleviated by a standard dosage of Sulpiride,
but this could only be administered to her for a maximum of six months
due to the side effects.She has never been as lucid since and is now
permanently on Olanzapine after her second breakdown. This has made her
very listless and she is also on an anti-depressant.

Blind belief in imaginary beings doesn't absolve you from your
