Fasting is the experience of letting go, opening up and draining our cells of contamination, irritations as well as the old stagnant cellular memories — conditions which make cancer, M.S., weak hearts and weak minds and sad eyes. The whole event of self-healing is pure in its essence and the days of not eating, of pain and tears are part of cleansing. We have begun to return to balance.

For centuries, we have been like a clenched fist and now as it opens, we feel the pain as we rise out of this unnatural dying process. Our great independence is returning as we learn to trust this great home, this body we live in. It is resolving its own irritation, congestion and imbalance. We are returning to a place where the body doesn’t have to work so hard.

Through fasting, the body’s ability to absorb nutrients greatly improves, the elimination organs become more efficient, the nervous system stronger, and a craving for cleaner food replaces the craving for fried chicken. This is more important than the medicine because it has no negative side-effects. The stage is now set for healing.

There are cases where cancer is on such a rampage it can only be stopped by surgery, chemo and radiation. Evidence of this is everywhere. Many of these cases still drag on 20 years into the treatment. I believe by implementing the healing prescription of fasting at early detection, the use of devastating cure techniques can often be avoided or at least minimized.

Learn about fasting, educate yourself and then do your own double blind study. Find someone who understands the reversal process to coach you through your first couple of fasts and, of course, find anything you can get your hands on that was written by Herbert Shelton. Fasting is the beginning of life’s journey.

During your fast, spend most of this precious time going inside. Don’t waste it by listening to the burdens of other fasters, if you are in a group setting. The highest human endeavour is to find oneself and understand the wisdom of the ancient Chinese proverb: “If you have a disease, don’t look for a cure, find your balance.” Fasting opens the door to our centre. As your body frees itself from high blood pressure, diabetes, constipation and fatigue, you will have found the key to real living, because to understand the true cause of all these disorders, and to remove this cause is to embrace the true meaning of freedom.
