Why fasting?
"Humans live on one-quarter of what they eat; on the other three-quarters lives their doctor." - Egyptian pyramid inscription, 3800 B.C.
"Very few people know what real health is, because most are occupied with killing themselves slowly." - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Ph.D., Hungarian-born American biochemist; Nobel Prize in physiology and medical science
Before we look at how to fast, let's examine the question: "Why fasting?" Although hundreds of fasting centers and clinics have existed in most European countries throughout the 20th century, Americans are still very far behind the learning curve regarding scientific, therapeutic fasting, as well
as in adopting natural and organic food diets.
Likewise, despite all 3 Fathers of Western Medicine having fasted and having prescribed fasting (Hippocrates, Galen and Paracelsus, who declared fasting "the greatest remedy, the physician within"), the fact remains that symptoms-oriented trained U.S. physicians are also equally in the dark.
In the U.S., many in the medical orthodoxy continue to take a negative view of fasting, particularly as a therapeutic tool. But when the medical profession shifts gears from treating illness to PREVENTING illness, fasting will be increasingly prescribed.
Harvard-trained M.D., Andrew Weil, in his 1995 bestselling book "Spontaneous Healing", clearly summarizes what Allopathic Medicine can and cannot do for you, on pages 225-226: "CAN: "Manage trauma better than any other system of medicine; diagnose and treat many medical and surgical
emergencies; treat acute bacterial infections with modern antibiotics; treat some parasitic and fungal infections; prevent many infectious diseases by immunization; diagnose complex medical problems; replace damaged hips and knees; get good results with cosmetic and reconstructive surgery,
and it can diagnose and correct hormonal deficiencies. Allopaths CANNOT: Treat viral infections; cure most chronic degenerative diseases; effectively manage most kinds of mental illness; cure most forms of allergy or autoimmune disease; effectively manage psychosomatic illnesses, or cure
most forms of cancer."
Doctor Weil also holds this opinion: "Do not seek help from a conventional doctor for a condition that conventional medicine cannot treat, and do not rely on an alternative provider for a condition that conventional medicine can manage well."
Too often, scientific studies prove nothing. Frequently, the source of the money dictates the conclusions. Yet, these experiments are all we have to go by, and are crucially important when we are testing these potentially-dangerous drugs that may have various hazardous effects. Fasting and
adopting a healing diet designed to help one's condition, on the other hand, are health-supporting. They will make a healthy person even healthier.
Fasting - an "operation without surgery"
"Fasting is, without any doubt, the most effective biological method of treatment... it is the 'operation without surgery'... it is a cure involving exudation, reattunement, redirection, loosening up and purified relaxation. While fasting, the patient improves her or his physical health and gains much.
But he or she will have neglected the most important thing if the hunger for spiritual nourishment that manifests itself during fasting is not satisfied." said Otto Buchinger, Sr., M.D., Germany's great, self-described "fasting therapist," who founded the most famous of several renowned, European
Buchinger Kliniks in 1952.
Prolonged, scientific fasting has proven itself, over several thousand years, as humanity's oldest, fastest and most effective weight-loss, detoxification, healing and longevity-enhancing modality known to mankind - both curative, as well as preventive - and here are the reasons why:
Just as hibernating bears and migrating whales, as well as much smaller beings, including caterpillars, salmon,hedgehogs, snakes, salamanders, spiders, turtles, tadpoles and woodchucks, do live for many months each year without eating, your body is brilliantly designed to live on its own
stored substances. Similarly, during skillful, therapeutic and prolonged juice-fasts (and every reputable fasting book today begins with a warning that noone should ever undertake a prolonged fast without professional supervision, initially), your body will brilliantly live on its own stored substance
via "autolysis", or autodigestion. Marvelously, the body decomposes and burns all the cells and tissue which are aged, damaged, diseased, weakened or dead.
Autodigestion during fasting
During fasting, your body will "autolyze", or self-digest, its most inferior and impure materials and metabolic wastes, including: fat deposits, abcesses, dead and dying cells, bumps and protuberances, damaged tissue, calluses, furuncles (small skin abscesses, or boils), morbid accumulations,
growths, and amazingly, various kinds of neoplasms (abnormal growths of tissue, or tumors). In "Fasting and eating for health", Joel Fuhrman, M.D., notes, p. 10: "The fast does not merely detoxify; it also breaks down superfluous tissue - fat, abnormal cells, atheromatous plaque, and
tumors--and releases diseased tissues and their cellular products into the circulation for elimination. Toxic or unwanted materials circulate in our bloodstream and lymphatic tissues, and are deposited in and released from our fat stores and other tissues. An important element of fasting
detoxification is mobilizing the toxins from their storage areas."
New cell growth during fasting is stimulated and accelerated as the required proteins are re-synthesized from decomposed cells (during autolysis). Thus, your serum albumin reading - blood-protein level - remains constant and normal throughout your fast, as your body very smartly uses
protein and other stored nutrients where needed. Again, Germany's late Otto Buchinger, M.D., after supervising over 100,000 juice-fasts, eventually concluded what is clearly stated in the book, "Fasting: the Buchinger Method", page 22: "The need for protein diminishes during the fast, until in
the second week, it has been reduced from 100 grams to from 15-20 grams a day, and this amount is, in fact, quite sufficient while fasting."
Unfortunately, today's most Western diets are heavily loaded with artificial flavors and chemically-created coloring agents, toxic pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, and insecticides, and other toxic chemicals which overburden our bodies.
As this toxic overload accumulates decade after decade, augmented also by environmental pollution, drugs and medications, it eventually interferes with normal functioning and our body's elimination becomes impaired. During fasting, large amounts of these accumulated metabolic wastes and
poisons are, during autolysis, very quickly eliminated through the greatly enhanced cleansing capability of all the organs of elimination - liver, kidneys, skin and lungs. Several common symptoms of detoxification seen during this process could be darker urine, the possibility of catarrhal
elimination of excess mucus ("rhinorrhea" - a mucous discharge from the nose), continuous discharge through the colon, etc.
Fasting gives your digestive system a rest
For perhaps the first time in your entire life, fasting affords a physiological rest to the digestive, assimilative and protective organs of your body. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices require little digestion, and are quickly assimilated from the upper digestive tract. Therefore, most of the 10% of
bodily energy normally involved in your mastication, assimilation, digestion, and elimination is freed up. This is another reason you'll feel more - not less - energy throughout properly-done juice-fasting - unlike the physically debilitating weakness water-fasters experience.
Additionally, these many fruit and vegetable juices all supply excellent energy, minerals, vitamins, live enzymes, and other nutrients necessary to enhance health during the fast. By providing much of the body's daily caloric needs with easily-digested juices, the release of toxins from the fat cells
is much more gentle and gradual.
Scientific fasting enhances longevity, as Doctor Fuhrman notes in "Fasting and eating for health", p. 27: "If we restrict the calories an animal can eat, by underfeeding it or periodically fasting it, we can significantly prolong its life. In fact, periodically fasting animals can double their natural life
span.(1,2)
What about water-fasting?
In his 1999 instant classic, "Radical Healing: Integrating the World's Great Therapeutic Traditions to Create a New Transformative Medicine," Rudolph Ballentine, M.D., Founder and Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in New York City, does not recommend "water-fasting," which he says
"is more correctly termed starvation," adding the following words of warning: "The destruction of starvation, and the cleansing and repair that happen in a well-managed fast, are polar opposites. Unfortunately today, when the average person is overburdened with wastes and environmental
toxins, and when reserves of essential nutrients are low because of the ubiquity of 'empty-calorie' foods, what is intended as a fast may well end up as starvation. Your best insurance against such a catastrophe is to do a juice-fast. Juices can eliminate much of the trauma of fasting."
Freshly-squeezed and extracted vegetable and fruit juices contain a wealth of vitamins and organically-complexed minerals. They will also supply the 400 calories or so that is your minimal fuel requirement. Without that minimum caloric intake, your body begins to break-down protein structures
to get it. What's more, fresh juices have a cleansing effect of their own. During fasting, a balanced regime of juices should be made from a broad spectrum of fruits and vegetables.
Dr. Ballentine, who does not recommend juice-fasting for a duration of more than 3 days without expert supervision, is supported by the fact that none of the world's best fasting centers and clinics - the majority of which have been based in Europe, historically - have done debilitating
water-fasting over the past 75 years. Like the world-renowned, self-described "fasting therapist," Otto Buchinger, Sr., M.D., who supervised over 100,000 fasts, they've all done the wiser, more efficient juice-fasting.
Since fasting has never been taught in any of America's 127 medical schools, allopath doctors - schooled exclusively to deal only with symptoms, versus the causes which prolonged, juice-fasting more wisely addresses - hold a dim view of fasting. In fact, most allopath doctors appear never to
have known, or seem to have forgotten, that all 3 Fathers of Western Medicine practiced and prescribed prolonged fasting - Hippocrates, Galen and Paracelsus, who declared fasting "the greatest remedy, the physician within."
Now let's take a look at how to fast.
How to fast
First of all, for reasons given on the Why Fasting? page, I do not recommend water-fasting, and while juice-fasting I do not recommend fasting for more than 3 days without supervision. In preparation for our first day of fasting, we may want to take a few days to eliminate some foods or habits
from our diet. Eliminating alcohol, nicotine, sugar and caffeine if possible is very helpful.
Intake of most nutritional supplements can also be stopped the day before fasting. Supplements are usually not recommended during a fast. Many people do well by preparing for their fasts with 3 or 4 days of consuming only fruits and vegetables. These foods nourish and slowly detoxify the
body so that the actual fasting will be less intense.
Start with a 1-day fast
The first 1-day fast (actually 36 hours, including the nights - from 8 p.m. one night until 8 a.m. the following day) gives us a chance to see what a short fast can be like, to see that this is not so difficult and doesn't cause any major distress.
Most people will feel a little hungry at times and may experience a few mild symptoms - such as a headache or irritability - by the end of the day, but this depends on the person and their state of toxicity. Usually, the first 2 days of fasting are the hardest for most people. Feeling great usually
begins around day 3, therefore longer juice fasts are really needed for the grand experience.
One of the problems with fasting is that it can be the most difficult for those who need it the most, such as the regular 3-square-meals-plus-snacks/day consumers who eat whenever and whatever they want. Often these people must start with more subtle diet changes and prepare even more
slowly for fasting.
A transition plan which can be used before even going on the 1-day fast is the 1-meal-a-day plan. The one daily meal is usually eaten around mid-afternoon. Water, fresh fruit or vegetable juices, and teas can be eaten at other times. The one wholesome meal is not rich or excessive. It can be
a protein-vegetable meal, such as fish and salad/steamed vegetables, or a starch-vegetable meal, such as brown rice with mixed steamed greens, celery, carrots, and zucchini. People on this plan start to detoxify slowly, lose a bit of weight, and after a few days feel pretty sound. The chance of
any strong detoxification symptoms developing, as might occur with fasting, is minimal with this type of transition, and the actual fast, once begun, will be handled more easily, too.
The goal then, is to move into a 1-day fast and then a few 2- and 3-day fasts with 1 or 2 days between them when light foods and more raw vegetables and fruits are consumed, and also provide fluids, soups, juices, and a generally alkaline cleansing diet. This way, we can build up to a 5 to
10-day fast.
Juice fasting provides nutrients to your body
Again I do not recommend a water fast. A juice fast is much easier for most people. The fresh juices of raw vegetables and fruits are what most fasting clinics and practitioners recommend. The juices provide calories and nutrients on which to function and build new cells, and also provide
important enzymes contained in these vital foods. (Food enzyme theories are discussed at length in Dr. Edward Howell's book "Enzyme Nutrition") Raw foods are considered the healing force in our diet because they contain active enzymes, which are broken down once foods are cooked. Many
consider a raw-food diet the most healing and most nutritious diet.
For the begining faster, it is best to go slowly through the various steps and to avoid being impatient or excessive so that we learn about ourselves in the process. To do this, we need to make a plan and put it into effect, observing or listening to our body and even keeping notes in a journal.
Get to really know yourself. Then, once we have fasted successfully, we could continue to do 1-day fasts every week or a 3-day fast monthly if we need them.
In general, diluted fresh juices of raw organic fruits and vegetables are best. Here you can use your imagination and create juices which are both healthy and delicious. You can get some ideas on my juicing recipes page, but the possibilities are endless. You can also get some solid knowledge
on juicing in the juicing for health section, as well as the juicing books page.
Cleasing the colon during fasting
Fasting clinics often suggest that enemas be used daily to help cleanse the colon, while fasting. With these, usually filtered water alone is used to flush the colon of toxins. Instructions on how to do an enema can be found here. Although when fasting, replace the coffee with filtered water only.
Herbal laxatives are commonly taken orally during fasting. These include cascara sagrada, psyllium (in my opinion the best price on the internet for a high quality psyllium supplement is here), senna leaves and Licorice Root. The "saltwater flush" is useful for those who can tolerate it. A solution
of 2 teaspoons of unrefined sea salt is dissolved in a quart of warm filtered water (not distilled) and is drunk first thing in the morning on every other day throughout the fast to flush the entire intestinal tract. Whatever colon cleansing method is used, keep in mind that regular cleansing of the
colon and intestines is a key component of healthy and stress-free fasting.
The amount of vegetable and fruit juice you drink will determine the intensity of the cleansing. Drinking small amounts of juice supplies fewer calories, which increases the intensity of detoxification. The more intense the cleansing, the greater the discomfort. Juice fasting allows you to have
control over the process of elimination. However, when the body enters a cleansing crisis due to toxins in the blood, no amount of juice will eliminate the discomfort. You must wait it out.
Breaking the fast
It is important to make a gradual transition back into our regular diet, rather than just going out to dinner after a week-long fast. Breaking a fast must be planned and done carefully and slowly to prevent creating symptoms and sickness. It is suggested that we take a few days to move back into
our diet, which is hopefully a new, more healthful diet. Our digestive system has been at rest, so we need to go slowly and chew our foods very well.
With juice fasting, it is easier to make the transition back into foods. A raw or cooked low-starch vegetable, such as spinach or other greens, can be used. A laxative-type meal, such as grapes, or soaked or stewed prunes, or cherries, can also be used to initiate eating, as it is important to keep
the bowels moving. Some experts say that the bowels should move within 2 to 3 hours after the first meal. If not, take an enema. Some people may want to do a saltwater flush (drinking a quart of water with 2 teaspoons of unrefined sea salt dissolved in it) before their first day of food.
However you make the transition from fasting to foods, go slowly, chew well, and do not overeat or mix too many foods at a single meal. Simple vegetable meals, soups or salads can be used to start.

achieved through Enzymatic Therapy's Whole Body approach to detoxification and rebuilding.†
