Lifewater Ranch

Radical? Yes, but… it is becoming a very popular therapy for many ailments. Dr. Mark Heston and I decided to do a dry-fast event at Lifewater Ranch. The purpose was to give new fasters a chance to try it out under proper supervision in a relaxing atmosphere without the temptations of normal life. We ended up with just one paying participant for this first go-around and another that was a friend of Mark’s who got a break on the cost.

Our paying guest, Katchie, did a full 3 day dry-fast and took a pause for a day with water and then extended her fast another day. Mark’s friend, Bobby, was feeling very poor due to not having prepped for the fast sufficiently and had to quit after 2 days.

I myself and my wife did a full 5 day dry fast. We both brought our blood sugars (we are both diabetic) down to normal ranges in that 5 day timeframe. (250 -> 100)

This will be my 4th dry-fast and none of them are easy but every one has benefited my health greatly.

We are planning another one in January and will put a link into this post once plans are solidified.

Cost for this event was $350/person and we will be giving allumni a $100 discout in future fasts, provided there is room.

We host all the participants in our home so we can only support about 5 people per fast. Participants of course get access to our pool and hot-tub and entertainment center. Dr. Heston oversees the fast and tests everyone to monitor their progress. Mark is also an avid teacher and educates participants in a myriad of health modalities. Mark is a Chiropractor, Nutritionist, Massage Therapist and Energy medicine doctor. His wife, Lydia, is also an RBTI practitioner and a Massage Therapist.

Participation includes some supplements to help you get into and out of the fast, consultation with Dr. Heston, some chiropractic and massage therapy, free copies of books and materials needed and of course no temptations to eat food – because everybody there will be fasting.

These two books were most helpful in explaining the benefits, biology and method of dry-fasting.

Taffy had her 6th calf – Donna just yesterday. She is now tagged and doing well.

It’s May 15th 2021 and a neighbor of mine just a few miles from the ranch is having his annual Clearwater International Airport Fly In. My neighbor’s son apparently works for the FAA and invites his pilot buddies to gather for a nice BBQ and land at his 1100 foot long air strip. Several planes opted for another private strip nearby that was easier to land on but two brave fixed wing plane pilots managed to land there and one helicopter guy came as well.

I got to give out a few business cards to some of the pilots, enjoyed their food and invited them to come for a swim but there were not takers.

Later on, a couple of friends of mine came by and Keith Borgelt got to take a ride on in the helicopter.

I then got a ride myself and was able to direct the pilot to my ranch and get some video of my place and my neighbors places from the air.

I have been hoping to attract the rich and famous that can use this method as the last leg of their trip to Lifewater Ranch. That would be SO COOL!

Just another fun thing to do at the ranch here.

Governor Kristy Noem explains her decisions concerning COVID

At Lifewater Ranch we don’t tell our guests to do or not do anything related to their own bodies and health. The COVID crisis has damaged us all so much but not only from the virus itself but from the disasterous and draconian actions taken by governments all over the world.

Air BnB and VRBO have both asked us to implement COVID procedures for our guests and have threatened to unlist us if we don’t comply. It is our policy not to dictate to our customers decisions that only they are qualified to make.

When you visit Lifewater Ranch you are welcome to wear a mask, wash your hands all you want and stay 6′ (or is that 3′?) apart but you will NEVER be required to do so.

This is supposed to be a FREE country and our ranch gives you fresh air, open space and brings nature close to you along with amenities beyond those available to most US households.

Enjoy your stay and know that we respect your decisions and will not dictate to you how to take care of yourself.

Sanford Staab – the owner

It’s been a pretty rough winter this year with almost 2 feet of snow and some power losses but all of a sudden, Spring has sprung and the sun is now raining its warmth onto us each day.

I just bought a new bird feeder to replace an older worn out one. These Yellow Finches just love it! I think they will be going through a feeder full of food about every week.

Here’s a shot of our soon-to-be new pet, Murphy who is my soon-to-be wife’s dog. Things will have to change somewhat as we join our lives together but we both hold to the idea of sharing this beautiful place with others.

Murphy says “Hi” and proudly welcomes all comers to Lifewater Ranch.

It has always been a goal of the owners of Lifewater Ranch to share a place where families can make memories that will last a lifetime.

I feel this goal was achieved during the summer of 2020 when we had a couple of Orthodox Jewish families stay for the entire months of June, July and August.

This was the first time we did a long rental like this and it worked out well. Our families recently sent me a list of things they did while here, both on and off of the ranch. Just FYI – here is the list:

The family sent me this link to their flicker account album of some fantastic photos they took while visiting Lifewater Ranch.

I couldn’t do a better ad campaign if I tried than what these images convey.

Enjoy Lifewater Ranch while your family is young and the time to make memories is at hand. Time goes too fast to waste it on the busyness of normal life.

This year has been a bumper year for most all kinds of fruit in the Northwest. Unfortunately, because of the evil Covid-19, many you-pic orchards are closed.

In light of this situation, I thought it would be cool to have a one-day-only harvest time for families or individuals.

We have our own small manual apple press and a few apple trees that I estimate could yield no less than 10 gallons of cider. My son came by and harvested about 6 gallons today and it was a blast.

So, in trying to come up with something fair and simple I am offering, a one-time-only event on October 24th (Next Saturday) all day, people can come by and enjoy our orchard, press, tools, water hose and kitchen to pick and process all the apples you want.

The price is $25/adult (kids are free) and you can pick all the apples you can find on our property and you can bring in your own from other places as well. We would charge an additional $15/gallon of cider processed or only $5/gallon if you bring your own apples.

Naturally we would expect guests to clean up after they are done and I will be there to assist and direct.

Apple harvesting can be a blast for the whole family and don’t forget, when you’re all done you can enjoy some time in our hot-tub to relax after a great fun day.

Reserve early as there is limited availability for this event.

Lifewater Ranch is making itself available for long-term rents in the off-season for 1/3rd the cost in-season on a monthly basis.

Are you looking for a way out of the left coast cities like Portland, LA, Seattle and the Bay area? Are you wondering what land prices and availability are in the central Idaho area? Are you just curious what you can do here or just need a break from the rabid pace of the city?

Enjoy QUALITY time at Lifewater Ranch without breaking the bank. Internet is available for remote work as well. We have geo-thermal heating so you won’t have to feed a fireplace to keep warm and a nice hot tub to take the chill off or enjoy the outside without the discomfort of cold or rain.

These rates are available from October-April this winter only with multi-month (minimum 3 months) leases! A security deposit of $3000 will be required.

Note that our regular rates are also available for shorter stays. See our rate calculator for the many flexible options we offer.
