Nutritional Program for Fasting

The Process and Benefits of Fasting

Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature’s ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems. Animals instinctively fast when ill. When I first discovered fasting, 15 years ago, I felt as if it had saved my life and transformed my illnesses into health. My stagnant energies began flowing, and I became more creative and vitally alive. I still find fasting both a useful personal tool and an important therapy for many medical and life problems.

Of course, most of the problems for which I recommend fasting as treatment are ones that result from overnutrition rather than malnutrition. Dietary abuse problems, more common in the Western world than in Third World countries, generate many of the chronic degenerative diseases that I have written so much about; these include atherosclerosis, hypertension and heart disease, allergies, diabetes, and cancer. I believe that fasting is therapeutic and, more importantly, preventive for many of these conditions and more.

As I use the term here, fasting is the avoidance of solid food and the intake of liquids only (true fasting would be the total avoidance of anything by mouth). The most stringent form of fasting is taking only water; more liberally, fasting includes the use of fresh juices made from fruits and vegetables as well as herbal teas. All of these limited diets generate varying degrees of detoxification—that is, elimination of toxins from the body. Individual experiences with fasting depend on the condition of the body (also mind and attitude). Detoxification might be intense and temporarily increase sickness or might be immediately helpful and uplifting.

Juice fasting is commonly used (rather than water alone) as a mild and effective cleansing plan; this is suggested by myself and other doctors and authors and by many of the European fasting clinics. Fresh juices are easily assimilated and require minimum digestion, while they supply many nutrients and stimulate our body to clear its wastes. Juice fasting is also safer than water fasting, because it supports the body nutritionally while cleansing and probably even produces a better detoxification and quicker recovery.

Fasting (cleansing, detoxification) is one part of the triology of nutrition; balancing and building (toning) are the others. I believe that fasting is the "missing link" in the Western diet. Most people overeat, eat too often, and eat a high-protein, high-fat, rich-food, building and congesting diet more consistently than they need. If we regularly eat a more balanced and well-combined diet, such as my Ideal Diet, we will have less need for fasting and toning plans, although both would still be required at certain intervals throughout the year.

In a sense, detoxification is an important corrective and rejuvenative process in our cycle of nutrition. It is a time when we allow our cells and organs to breathe out, become current, and restore themselves. We do not necessarily need to fast to experience some cleansing, however. Minor shifts in the diet such as including more fluids, more raw foods, and fewer congesting foods will allow for better detoxification; for a carnivore, for example, a vegetarian or macrobiotic diet will be cleansing and purifying. The general process of detoxification is discussed thoroughly in the General Detoxification program; here we focus on fluid fasting—its history, therapeutic use, benefits, contraindications, and, of course, how to do it, along with other aspects of lifestyle that support fasting.

14 Day Fast-Man Can Live On Water Alone

2007-10-28T07:09:00.000-07:00

When I was 9 years old, I got the Hong Kong Flu Virus.
I was so sick, they thought I might die, after all I'd been through. Then this wass happening.
The longest anyone in our family had fasted for before then was about 3 days. The general idea is to just drink water till your temerature via a thermometer is back down to normal or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 37 degrees Celsuis, or there abouts.

So, I would have lost about 8 kilograms in body weight. Does that sound right? Anyway, a funny th ing happens whilst you are fasting for a long time, besides feeling terribly hungry. You actually have a burst of energy when you play games of concentration like chess, scrabble or checkers, etc. I have played with my brother who is 2 years younger than me, and when one of us was fasting, that was the one that would ultimately win.

When the fast was finally over and my temperature finally came down to normal, and remained at that level for 24 hours, I was given orange juice (freshly squeezed) every 4 hours for about 2-3 days. This is due to the stomach lining shrinking. If you were to eat a normal meal, your stomach would feel like bursting. After these 3 days on juice (you could have watermelon, or any type of fresh juice), I then spent a couple of days eating only fruit, three meals per day.

When the fast was over and I well enough to resume going back to school, etc, my parents told me that I was to be presented with an award by the Natural Health Society of Australia. This was given out at a quarterly meeting of the society to members who had fasted for a long period of time. Most of these were for people who had fasted for 21 days (three weeks). But, due to my age, I was only 9 years old, they gave me a special award, because I was the youngest in the country of Australia to fast for that long.

Our doctor was an American by the name Doctor Burton. I am not sure if he is still working but the society has a clinic at Wallacia (near Warragamba Dam) west of Sydney. Here, they have hospital beds and nurses, just like a conventional hospital. The only difference is they only give you water, no tablets, or medicine, to cure cancer, lymphoma and many terminal diseases that conventional medicine has given up on.

People who have been given a year to live, have gone to Wallacia, gone through the radical diet changing phase of a 21 day fast. Some go longer. Others just can't stick to it. But those who do, are still alive, or gained another 10 years of life, when everyone else only gave them 3 months.

Hopefully, I can get some experts to write a comment here in the future.

Treatment During Early Years

2007-10-27T22:40:00.000-07:00

When I was 8

I also had a bent vertabrae, the 7th one down. Every morning when I was 8-10 yrs old, I'd have a massage by my parents on my back to warm up the muscles around the discs on my vertebrae, then I'd be left to hand around the garage for a while, literally. By my chin, for twenty minutes a day. My younger brother would come in and push me around the room. he thought it was fun. I found it quite embarassing.

Muscular Dystrophy Patient Cured

2007-10-27T00:40:00.001-07:00

I am a living miracle. I don't want to boast. I just want others to know there is a chance for a full normal life, if action is taken early. And I want to tell the world.

I was given a death warrant when I was 3 years old.
Anyone with the disease or those around a sufferer know full well the seriousness of this incurable disease.

This is not a quick fix solution. And I make no promises. But it worked for me, and they(my doctors) said they thought I was just lucky. Lucky, how can you just get lucky when you have an incurable disease?

The reason they couldn't or wouldn't acknowledge that I was cured goes very deep within the conventional methods of health practice.
They know that if word got out and enough people started going this other way, that a lot of people would be out of a job, including pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, therapists, social workers, the list goes on and on.

The Disease
It is hereditary. and it only affects males. That is what I was told. I would ask any experts to post more information here if they like. All the muscles deteriorate till they become useless, and you end up in a wheel chair by the age of 20. Unable to walk by 15. Dead by 30 if you live that long. Sounds pretty nasty. But for me it wasn't to be. But they say there is no cure. Nothing can be done. I would like to tell them if they start treatment soon enough, they can be cured.

Diagnosis
By the time I was three, I was walking on my toes, as I had shortened Achilles ten dents in my ankles. This was the first symptom of my disease. I was then put in leg supports to help me walk normally.
The Message
One day when my parents were at the local church, there was a speaker from the Natural Health Society of Australia. He was talking about their approach to health and how they had been successful where no one else could find a cure.

The Diet
My parents followed up thinking that it must be a sign as I had just been diagnosed.
We (my 3 brothers and parents) then started on a vegetarian diet.
We all got hives, which are like mosquito bites but bigger. They soon settled down after a couple of days. Then we ate a balanced diet of starch and protein at varying meals on different days.

Fasting
Another part of the cure was not eating when we got a cold or virus. The patient would only drink water till their temperature went back to normal, then wait 24 hrs before allowing them to drink juice for 2 days(the fast would last at least 3 days) and then fruit for one day then back to normal diet. This would clean out the body's toxins. All members of our family went through this phase at one time or another.

The News Is Confirmed
By the time I was 15 years old, I was told I was cured from this terminal disease. I didn't even know I was sick. Not in that way. Regardless to say, I played soccer, basketball, swam and surfed and did things that I shouldn't have been able to at that age. I am now 47 years old and going strong.
