Fasting for Purification

When you fast for 24 to 36 hours, or from 3 to 10
days, the healing power starts to work in your body. I
have told you, over and over, that the power to cleanse,
purify and rejuvenate yourself is within your body. This
power has always been in your body. When you go on a
complete distilled water fast, the Vital Force in your body
that would ordinarily be used to masticate, digest,
assimilate and eliminate food is used to purify your body.
That is what fasting is: deep internal cleansing, a
physiological rest to build Vital Force.
Now, say you are a person of 60 and you have been
eating 3 meals daily, whether you were hungry or not,
and you have allowed toxic acid crystals to get deposited
into the moveable joints of your body. It is going to
take time for Mother Nature and the vital power within
your body to break down the toxic crystals that have
accumulated over the years.
