Fasting – the Perfect Heart-Rester
If you are vitally interested in having a strong heart, you must skip 1 or 2 meals a week or even better, fast for one whole day out of 7. What a wonderful rest the hardworking heart receives when you take a day or 2 of total abstinence from all food! Just drink 8 to 10 glasses of cool distilled water daily. If you need something warm, have a cup of herb tea such as mint, alfalfa or anise seed. You may add 2 tsp of honey to your tea if desired. During water fast partake of no juices or food.
A Story of Successful Fasting
We have thousands of letters in our files from health students all over the world, who had remarkable recoveries with fasting. One of these students had a serious heart attack at 55 years of age. She was flat on her back in bed for 8 weeks. When she finally got up she was a pitiful sight – pale, haggard and weak. She was thoroughly discouraged since she had been told that she did not have long to live.
The Miracle of Fasting and started to fast 1 day each week. After a few months she fasted for 3 or 4 days each month. Then she went on a 7 day fast. Great cleansing and healing took place in her body because of her fasting.
Banish All of Your Fears About Fasting!
The average person has a preconceived notion that if they skip a few meals or fast for a few days, dangerous things will happen to their body. Nothing is farther from the truth! My father and I have fasted for as many as 30 days straight – and felt stronger on the 30th day than when the fast started! Caution! We don’t advise our students to go on long fasts unless needed and supervised by a health professional. Inquire for good contacts at health stores, health clubs, etc. or check www.spafinder.com.
Nothing will give the body more energy and vitality than fasting. Fasting also strengthens the body’s digestive system and heart. Forget your fears! Fasting cleanses the internal body. Try a short fast to demonstrate to yourself the miracles fasting can accomplish in your life!
Here’s our personal fasting program for you: We fast on Mondays. During this time we drink 8 to 10 glasses of distilled water. This gives our digestive and elimination systems a complete rest. We then eat on Tuesday. This respite from food takes a great load off of the hard-working heart and digestive system and helps keep the body cleaner.
Several times yearly we take a longer super fast. We usually prefer distilled water fast for 7 to 10 days. This works wonders in keeping us fit, trim and healthy! The Hollywood Stars love juice fasting to detox.
Cleansing the Heart Pump and Pipes
If our pipes and great pump are clogged and corroded with debris and toxic poison we cannot be physically fit! Therefore, it is necessary from time to time to give the pipes and the pump of the body a thorough cleansing. This should be done by fasting once every week – for this 1 day will have beneficial effects. It will shake the toxins loose from the tissues, stimulate circulation and get rid of foreign matter that has become encrusted in the heart and blood vessels.
You should follow this cleansing program at least 1 day a week. Then in time you will have enough fortitude to fast for 3 days straight – you will be amazed at the results! If you have any reactions during this cleansing program – such as headaches, excessive gas or feeling of weakness – just remember that this is what we call a healing crisis. These symptoms will fade away as the toxins pass through your elimination system. Fasting is the greatest remedy – the physician within!

Soak this mixture overnight. After it has soaked 10 hours or more, strain the vegetable-distilled water and discard the vegetables (great for compost). Use this water, in which the vegetables have been soaked, as part of your drinking water during first day for cleansing.
