kevinr5424@yahoo.com - 21 Jul 2006 19:59 GMT 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

Paranoid schizophrenics with religious persecution complex, such as Mr. Chung, are not inclined to respond to pleas from the internet.

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

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.

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.

The answer remains truthful.
> Claiming that you've been starving > yourself for 30+ days is NOT normal healthy behavior. Actually, because I remain hungry thanks to the Holy Spirit, Who has kept me well, I have not been starving.
> If you have actually been doing it - it's even worse. Actually, it remains wise to obey GOD even if you are just a fig tree (Mark 11:12,13,14)

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 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.

Roll up k00kologists. He's going off the deep end again.
 Signature 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.

calvin12@sysko.com - 24 Jul 2006 15:11 GMT How did you find a low carb diet, grin? With your weight loss the low carb must work, grin. Of course you had protein loss in the muscles, the body uses protein at hand when none is consumed.

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 semantics. Actually your experience was a no carb or extreme low carb 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.

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.

calvin12@sysko.com - 24 Jul 2006 23:48 GMT "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.

No. The colon is most adapted for passive absorpton of water and solutes. Absorption of fatty acids occurs in the small intestine.
> 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. 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.
> 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. Actually, gut bacteria do not undergo apoptosis. When there is less substrates to sustain them, they simply slow down their rates of cell division.
> "Your writing this is a clear indication that you have no experience > with fasting either first-hand or vicariously through someone close to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > not to make a public spectacle of it and other matters in the religious > life in Him. 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.

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

May you someday be able to make the same public confession, dear Calvin whom I love, in Jesus' most precious and holy name.

Do tell.

Interpretation of "his" word can apparently turn the brain to jelly.
Sorry the truth bothers you.

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.

Indeed, I am around folks in various social and church > functions who are more qualified to tell me about such concerns. 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.
