A Twenty-Eight-Day Detoxification Fast

E ven though you may have never fasted in your life, something caused you to pick up this book. Something in you is drawing you to the idea of fasting and detoxifying your body of the toxins we face in todays world.

Maybe you are experiencing some of the physical symptoms of your toxic environment. You may have recognized your need for a healthier lifestyle and may be making choices to eliminate junk food and harmful chemicals from your life. Perhaps you are seeking a greater awareness of Gods presence in your life and are searching for a spiritual discipline you can embrace.

We live in a dangerously toxic world. Deaths related to our toxic diet and lifestyle account for most deaths in America, including those from heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes, and obesity. Many of these diseases, and others, are caused by a buildup of toxins that overwhelm the bodys vital organs and other systems, creating an array of distressing symptoms. Do you recognize any of these symptoms?

Premature aging

Skin disorders

Arthritis

Hormone imbalances

Anxiety

Emotional disorders

Cancer

Heart disease

After years as a medical practitioner and family physician, Im convinced there is a better way. Not only can you prevent chronic illness and poor health due to toxicity, but also if you are suffering from some of these symptoms, you may even be able to turn your situation completely around.

In this book I am presenting you with a twenty-eight-day fasting program. If you will make a commitment to follow my plan, you will see benefits and results that will start you on the path to better health.

It will also be important for you to establish a new health-first lifestyle plan to follow from Day 29 through your future. I will give you some important guidelines for making choices that will give you the information and wisdom you need to be healthier and to eliminate some of the dangerous toxins that cause poor health.

This twenty-eight-day cleansing, detoxifying fast is designed to restore you to healthbody, mind, and spirit. So, if you have been suffering from a toxic overload, you are ready to begin my twenty-eight-day plan. It is divided into two sections:

1. The twenty-one-day partial fast (you can adapt this to a Daniel fast if desired)

2. The seven-day detoxification juice fast

Fasting can improve your health physically and spiritually. Decide to begin my fasting program today! You will be glad you made that decision.
