Why do most people take better care of their car than their own bodies? Fasting is virgin territory for many people who spend their life "clouded" and need to improve overall physical, mental and spiritual health.  I can only talk 'good' about fasting, both in the physical and the spiritual this is part of what we need to do from time to time.

Hippocrates, father of Western medicine, said, "Every one of us has a doctor within".

Pythagoras, Greek philosopher and mathematician, found that fasting improves our ability to think, and only accepted students into his school once they had fasted for 40 days. Moses and Christ fasted for 40 days.

We have 75 Biblical references to fasting -Daniel and his friends said, "Test us for 10 days on a diet of vegetables and water." In fact Daniel received a special ability to understand and interpret dreams and visions.

Gandhi, once a heavy eater, fasted in 1930 to control both his passions and his taste for rich foods. George Bernard Shaw attributed the success of his literary works to the beneficial effects of fasting and Tolstoy called fasting "The joy of the soul".

The average adult accumulates about 2 to 5 kg of chemical toxins in his or her lifetime. These poisons are locked and stored into cells, tissues and organs. Fasting and cleansing rid the nerve tissues of intrusive "cementing" particles. More of our brain cells come into contact with purified blood and this results in greater cerebral energy, brain clarity and better thinking.

Personally I would never recommend a total fast - where people have no solids, no liquids or water. In practice I see the health benefits when people do an alkalising juice fast or a "Daniel-fast" of vegetables, fruit and juice and I strongly recommend a Forty Day Raw Food Fast.

For many years I have seen people find healing and keeping their health, by following a 5-7 day fresh juice fast, and forty days on raw food and fresh juice only. Other people such as Bernard Jenson (Tissue cleansing through Bowel Management) also write about miraculous healings from pain, psoriasis, chronic liver, blood sugar and blood pressure problems, obesity, addictions, fibroids, weight problems and other "incurable" diseases. Our clientele experience optimum health, renewed energy levels, happiness, better thinking and spiritual renewal. Many a cliente had, in the past years, rid themselves of medication such as high blood pressure pills and cholesterol pills.

Use fruit and vegetables such as papaya, raw carrots, green leaves, beetroot (a small piece) and apple (see books below). Get the best herbal combination to kill and sweep out microbes, else they come out alive (Micro-sweep and AB-lactics).

Let us give our bodies the treatment of a Maserati for spring. But do consult us before starting your fast.
