:: Fasting Therapy
:: |
| |
|
Fasting refers to complete moderation from food for a particular
period pertaining to a specific purpose and this is nature’s
oldest, most effective and yet least expensive method of treating
diseases, recognized as the achievement of natural healing. By
depriving the body of food for a specific period of time, the
organs of elimination such as the bowels, kidneys, skin and lungs
are given opportunity to expel, unhampered the overload of
accumulated waste from the system. Thus, fasting is merely the
process of purification and an effective and quick method of cure,
assisting nature in her continuous effort to expel foreign matter
and disease producing waste from the body, thereby correcting the
faults of improper diet and wrong living. It also leads to
regeneration of the blood as well as the repair and regeneration
of the various tissues of the body. |

Juice fasting is the safest and the most effective method of
fasting and far more superior to water fasting. Juices process
definite medicinal properties as they are extracted from plants
and fruits. Specific juices are beneficial in specific conditions.
Besides specific medicinal virtues, raw fruit and vegetable juices
have an extraordinary revitalizing and remunerative effect on all
the organs, glands and functions of the body. They supply
essential elements for the body’s healing activity and cell
regeneration, resulting in speedy recovery. The patient should get
as much fresh air as possible and should drink plain lukewarm
water when thirsty. These fresh juices may be diluted with pure
water on 50-50 bases and the intake of the same should be at least
8-10 glasses of water should be the minimum intake. However, only
fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices are required for such fasts,
since they contain all the required vitamins, minerals, enzymes
and elements that are extremely beneficial in normalizing all the
body processes. |

It is necessary that enema should be given to the patient, every
alternate day, so that gas or decomposing matter formed from the
excrements residual in the body passes out. In this process a lot
of energy is spent during the fast. Thus it is advisable that the
patient gets maximum physical and mental rest in this period.
Sometimes it may happen that the intake of juices completely,
results in an overload of toxic matter, which affects normal
bodily functions. In such cases, when the bodily functions get
disturbed, it is advisable to discontinue the fast and take cooked
vegetables containing adequate roughage such as spinach and beets
until the body functioning returns to normal.
The period of the fast, though, depends upon the age of the
patient, the nature of the disease and the amount and type of
drugs previously used. Long periods of fasting can be dangerous if
it is undertaken without the guidance of a competent guide, hence
in general a person should not fast for more than a week. It is
advisable to undertake a series of short fasts of two to three
days and gradually increase the duration of each succeeding fast
by a day or so. The success of the fast depends largely on how it
is broken. This is the most significant phase. |

The right food after a fast is as important and decisive for
proper results as the fast itself. The main rules for breaking the
fast are; not to overeat, eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly
and take several days for the gradual change to the normal diet.
After the raw juice therapy, the return to normal balanced diet
should be gradual, and in stages. In the beginning, two juice
meals may be replaced by milk and fruits. Then gradually juice
meals may be substituted by a balanced diet. Fasting affords a
physiological rest to the digestive, assimilative and protective
organs. As a result, the digestion of food and the utilisation of
nutrients are greatly improved after hasting. The fast also exerts
a normalising, stabilising and rejuvenating effect on all the
vital physiological, nervous and mental functions. |
