There is much confusion and misunderstanding in the minds of health-seekers regarding fasting the oldest and the most effective healing method known to man. Those who have tried to learn about fasting by reading books that treat this subject, are even more confused because most books contradict each other some advise drinking pure natural water during fasting, some recommend the addition of juices, and some others, drinking only distilled water; some recommend taking enemas during fasting, others condemn enemas completely; some insist on staying in bed during fasting, the others advocate a normal working life with lots of exercise and walking, etc. There is also a great disagreement on the best method of breaking a fast. No wonder the average man, who is searching for the real truth, is confused!

This book is not a theoretical, philosophical work on fasting, but a practical do-it-yourself guide which will help you to understand the common-sense wisdom and mechanics of fasting, and help you to employ fasting for your own benefit be it for prevention of disease and premature aging, or for treatment of the many ills of modern man.

I have studied various methods of fasting for several decades in several countries. My early teachers were two famous Swedish health pioneers Are Waerland and Ragnar Berg. I also studied fasting in Swedish clinics, especially those operated by Dr. Jern Hamberg and Dr. Lars-Eric Essen. Later, I visited the famous fasting clinics in Germany and studied modern fasting methods with such giants of biological healing as Dr. H.F. Buchinger, Jr., Professor Werner Zabel, and many others. Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger, Jr., M.D., is, perhaps, the greatest authority on fasting in the world. Together with his father, also a doctor, he has experience with over 80,000 fasts which were directed and supervised in their clinics. Dr. Buchinger has the most modern and best equipped fasting clinic in the world, where thousands of patients fast under his supervision each year.

I have also had personal experienece with directing and supervising fasting of hundreds of patients and observing the results of various fasting methods on specific conditions. Some of these cases are described in the coming chapters.

In this book I will show you:

• The common misconceptions and fallacies about fasting.
• Why juice fasting is superior to the traditional water fasting.
• How fasting can be done in your own home; hour by hour instructions.
• Why juice fasting is the easiest and safest way to reduce.
• How water fasting without enema can be harmful.
• How juice fasting can rejuvenate your body and mind and make you look and feel much younger than your actual age.
• How fasting can restore health where other methods fail.
• What juices to use for specific conditions.

This is a small and concise book. The few hours it takes to read and study it may be the best and most profitably spent time of your life. Health is your most valuable possession. Vibrant health, youthful vitality, and 8

freedom from diseases are worth working for. The application of the knowledge presented in this book can help you to achieve a better level of health and help to prevent premature aging.

F asting is the oldest therapeutic method known to man. Even before the advent of the medicine man and the healing arts, man instinctively stopped eating when feeling ill and abstained from food until his health was restored. Or perhaps he learned this, the most efficient means of correcting any disease, from animals, which always fast when not feeling well. Certainly, nature provided man with a definite protective and health-restoring alarm signal, which suggests to him to abstain from eating by taking away his appetite for food.

Throughout the long medical history fasting has been regarded as one of the most dependable curative and re-juvenative measures. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, prescribed it. So did Galen, Paracelsus, and all the other great physicians of old. Paracelsus called fasting the greatest remedy; the physician within. Fasting was practiced by many great thinkers and philosophers, such as Plato and Socrates, to attain mental and physical efficiency. Most Eastern philosophers and super-yogis, known for their long life, mental efficiency and spiritual awareness, fast regularly, along with meditation, to attain long life and a high level of spirituality.
