Fasting anyone?

I know that fasting requires that you stop eating all together, but, if i do that, won't i lose weight and get sick or something? I mean, don't humans need a certain amount of vitamins and minerals daily? I'm already pretty skinny and don't feel like getting even more skinnier than i already am. Please explain.

Our physical bodies are not designed to harm themselves. On the contrary - they are designed to be self-repairing. Unfortunately we do not give our bodies any chance of getting rid of accumulated toxins, when we eat everyday.

Skinny people accumulate less toxins (by weight) so they can fast for 7-10 days rather than 2-3 weeks. Weight loss is minimal if you observe precautions.

Fasting CAN be dangerous when you don't observe elementary precautions.

One of them is keeping your intestines during fasting as clean as it is only possible. Why? During all of your life so far you trained your metabolism to expect food in your intestines everyday. Now suppose that you suddenly stop eating tommorrow. Your metabolsim will continue to absorb whatever is in your intestines. However - you will not put anything fresh - everything there will be "pure shit" that was supposed to be disposed of. As a result, toxins that were ready for disposal will end up back in your blood stream. You can get poisoned and even die, depending on what is in your intestines.

Another danger is dehydration. To avoid it you need to drink a LOT of pure (non-chlorinated and non-fluoridated) water

When done properly - fasting is the most spectacular natural detoxification method known to man. For more information you need to read my first book

Example? Last week I had a seminar on Self Healing (selfhealing.net). An old man was reporting his experiences from fasting. In the second week of fasting, he and his partner noticed a very strong tobacco odour emanating from his body. The interesting part was that he has NEVER smoked !!! However, his previous partner was a smoker. Obviously, his body accumulated tobacco toxins over the years and had never been given any real chance for their disposal. During fasting, all toxins were disposed through skin and urine, both with a strong smell of tobacco.

Who says that a passive smoking is a myth? What about breathing polluted air?

Tom

I have a kuestion...Is marijuana a toxin? Is it worse than tobacco?

Billy

Sure it is. Tobacco is addictive, but it doesn't seem to influence much our perception and intellect.

In contrast, marijuana makes you more stupid than you really are. That is why I don't have a desire to try it out.

Tom

How many days of fasting does it take to detoxify your body completely? I wanna do fasting but dont know for how many days(or weeks) i should try it.

Polsan

It is best to start with 7-10 days and WATCH your body. It will give you all the information - just pay attention.

Tom

Tom, I would like to try fasting. Since I haven't tried fasting before I was thinking to begin with 7 days of water only diet. I have heard that apart from DRINKING lots of water you must also take an enema every day to get rid of all toxins. I have also heard that drinking warm salt water and performing yoga exercises would be just as effective. What is your view?

Magnus

Please read my first book The Joy of Perfect Health. The entire procedure is described in great detail.

Tom

Tom,I am currently fasting, and my family are not supporting me at all. They are forcing food upon me. Its extremely frustrating. I dont have 'Joy of Perfect Health' because i cannot find it in any book stores and my parents are too cautious to buy anything online. So its quite frustrating for me. Is it okay to eat fruit whilst fasting?

Kyle

Forcing anything onto anyone is not good, but maybe your family is RIGHT by telling you not to fast and gather more information.

Fasting CAN and actually IS dangerous if you do not observe the fundamental precautions. Please study the information in the beginning of this topic.

On the other hand, a fruit diet, supplemented by plenty of fluids, is quite safe. When maintained for a sufficiently long time a fruit diet can be almost as effective as fasting.

Tom

Thank you. Do you have a list of shops that sell your books? I've had a hard time locating them.

Kyle

Book trade worldwide is monopolized by a few large media companies, who control the kind of information/misinformtion that is available in bookshops. My books are available only via direct online ordering (see Bookshop link below). If you are afraid of online orders, please email me your address so I can send the book you need free of charge.
