When questioning this man before putting him on
his first fast, I found that he had been enervated by
terrible lifestyle habits, overwork, marital difficulties and
heavy financial responsibilities. When you enervate
yourself, over-expend your nervous energy and exhaust
your Vital Force, the elimination organs can’t do their
job effectively and efficiently. This man was plainly
suffering from chronic nervous fatigue! His eating habits
were unhealthy. His working day was so busy that he
would gobble a sandwich and wash it down with coffee.
He simply didn’t take time to prepare healthy meals. He
was constipated and his elimination was off it’s rhythm.
I told him it had taken years to get his body into this
decaying condition and that a program of fasting and
natural living would take time to accomplish its mission.
But he was an intelligent and logically thinking man
and fully cooperated with our Bragg Healthy Lifestyle
Program. I started him on a series of 36 hour fasts and
between the fasts, I gradually added more raw fruit and
vegetables to his heavily concentrated diet of refined
sugars, fats and meat. I believe there must be a transition
period between changing from a unhealthy diet to a
healthy diet. It’s best not to force the body to change
quickly. You must take things slowly. Instead of eating
meat 3 times a day, he now ate meat only once a day. He
had been a great eater of white bread, so I substituted
100% whole grain breads. It’s best oven dry toasted.
