TRUENORTH HEALTH
EDUCATION CENTER REGISTRATION POLICIES
WHAT TO EXPECT
TrueNorth Health operates a
residential health education program. We are not a resort, a hotel or a health
or medical facility. We have certain policies to which all must adhere in
order to ensure a positive experience for all concerned.
Participants undergoing
fasting are requested to remain on the Center's property at all times
throughout their stay, unless attending a scheduled medical
appointment. Refusal to comply with this requirement will result in
the termination of the participant from the program.
No tobacco, alcohol,
non-prescription drugs, aerosol sprays, nail polish or remover, scented
products, perfume, food, or drink of any kind should be brought to the
Center.
We encourage you to
first read our book, The Pleasure Trap, Mastering the Hidden Force
that Undermines Health and Happiness. TNH Store

WHAT TO BRING
Bring all of your
current medications as well as copies of your prescriptions. Do not
discontinue your prescription medications without discussing it with the
prescribing physician or with our medical consultant Peter Sultana, M.D.
Please bring casual,
warm, layered clothing, including robe, slippers, etc.
Fasting participants
may feel cold, even in the warmest months. Warm-up suits and walking shoes
would be appropriate.
The Center staff
provides complimentary laundry service. Feel free to bring personal items,
such as unscented personal toiletries, books, knitting, and materials for
writing letters, etc.
VISITORS
In order to provide a
restful environment for all, we ask that you request visitors to come
between 11 A.M. and 6 P.M. on Saturdays only. We will attempt to
accommodate special circumstances. Please inform your visitors that smoking
of any kind is not permitted in or around the Center.
PHONE CALLS
All guests have their
own private phone and voice mail box.
We provide complimentary local and long distance calling within the United
States. Fax and copy services are available. Internet
access is available on a shared computer in our library or on your personal
lap-top computer over our WI-FI system powered by our T1 line.
LENGTH OF STAY
Participants determine
their length of stay. Our affiliated doctors can discuss your length
of stay with you and provide advice on how to best utilize our program.
Our experience shows
that our fasting program is most successful when participants remain at the
Center for a period of re-feeding of no less than half the length of the
fast. For example, a patient fasting 14 days should stay at the Center for
a total of at least 21 days.
