Fasting is not Starvation!
It is a technique that wise men have used for centuries to heal the soul. To understand the principles of fasting is to understand one's own body.

Fasting is recommended for almost any illness because our bodies need rest. The body goes through high and low cycles, as does everything in the universe, including the sun, the moon, the stars, and the tides. Even insects and animals have cycles.

Help your body during its low phase; don't put a heavy load on it by eating. If you learn to "go with the flow" of the cycle, and accept it and help your body through the low phase, you will feel better, and your lows won't last as long. After a period of time, the body builds up toxins from chemicals, pollution, and overindulgences. It is during this low phase that the body is ridding itself of all toxins. This is a "normal detoxification phase."
