Fasting for Weight Loss and Health

This article tells about how fasting weight lose. Fasting weight loss programs are also the best thing for healing many health problems.

Fasting is the greatest healing method known to man. Medical doctors know that it is the fastest way to lose weight. Jesus could walk on water and bring the dead back to life but he needed to fast for 40 days. Hundreds of years before him, Aristotle and Pythagoras were doing fasting. Before them Moses did fasting for 40 days before getting the commandments of God. Also animals do it instinctively. Two thousand years ago there were no MDs, but fasting was very popular. That is why the bible has 74 references to fasting. The amazing thing about fasting is if someone does it only for the metaphysical benefits, they will still get the physical benefits. If someone does it for the physical benefits only, they still get the metaphysical benefits. The MDs ignore the metaphysical benefits and the Christians will ignore the physical benefits.

According to Ben Franklin, fasting earns you money. He said that a penny saved is a penny earned. When you fast, you save money by not buying food. People tend to look for complicated ways to heal so fasting appears too simple to them. But it is based on the knowledge that the body is always trying to cleanse itself and heal itself. You just need to give it a chance. Fasting gives the entire digestive system and liver a rest or vacation. Here are a few reasons given by Allan Cott, M.D. : “To lose weight the quickest and easiest way”, to save money, to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, to sleep better, to digest food better, to save time, to regulate bowels, to learn better eating habits, to get more out of sex and to call attention to social issues.” Fasting is the most effective way to kill unwanted parasites, bacteria, viruses and fungi. The heart muscle is constantly beating and there is no way to give it a rest. Like the heart, the colon is always and constantly expanding and contracting known as peristalsis. Normally it never stops but during a fast, it stops. Then after a rest of at least 5 days, it works better than it ever did. John Tilden, M.D., who fasted thousands of people in his Denver center, said “I must say in all seriousness that fasting when combined with a properly selected diet is the nearest approach to a ‘cure-all’ that is possible to conceive: Profoundly simple and simply profound!

When you are eating, you are in control of what happens to your body. If you believe in God, then when you are fasting, then God is controlling what is happening in your body. Otherwise nature is in control of what is happening in your body when you are fasting. That is why fasting has been called God’s or nature’s bloodless operating table. It can provide every imaginable benefit including anti-aging.

Alex Carrel, M.D.

(famous scientist) says “The elimination of waste products by fasting increases longevity.” Patricia Bragg says “Fasting is not starving. It’s nature’s cure that God has given us I fast every Monday and the first 3 days of each month; it’s a precious time of body-mind-soul cleansing and renewal.”

Von Seeland, M.D.

A Russian physician, says “As a result of experiments, I have come to the conclusion that fasting is not only a therapeutic agent of the highest degree possible but also deserves consideration educationally.” Charles Page, M.D. says “The fasting cure universally and rationally applied, would save thousands of lives every year.” A prominent German physician, Adolph Mayer, M.D. says, in a book entitled Fast Cures–Wonder cures: “I assert that fasting is the most efficient means for correcting any disease.”

Philippus Paracelsus

A Swiss physician and one of the 3 fathers of Western Medicine (including also Hippocrates and Galen), said “Fasting is the greatest remedy the physician within.” Elson M Haas M.D. says on his website “Fasting is the single greatest healing therapy.”

Prescription for Natural Healing

By James Balch M.D. and Phyllis Balch CNC says “Fasting is an effective and safe method of detoxifying the body. A technique that wise men have used for centuries to heal the sick. Fast regularly and help the body heal itself and stay well. Give all of your organs a rest. Fasting can help reverse the aging process, and if we use it correctly we will live longer, happier lives. Fasting is the best thing for anti-aging. Each time you complete a fast, you will feel better. Your body will have a chance to heal and rebuild its immune system by regularly fasting. You can fight off illness and the degenerative diseases so common in this chemically polluted environment we live in. When you feel a cold or illness coming on or are just depressed fast!” That is why you lose your appetite your body is telling you to stop eating.

Gabriel Cousins, M.D.

Says “I often observe in the fasting participants that by four days of fasting, concentration seems to improve, creative thinking expands, depression lifts, insomnia stops, anxieties fade, the mind becomes more tranquil and a natural joy begins to appear. It is my hypothesis that when the physical toxins are cleared from the brain cells, mind-brain function automatically and significantly improves and spiritual capacities expands.”
