Remember, “Flesh is dumb!” It has no intelligence
or reasoning power. If, after reading this book, you are
convinced, without any reservations, that a fasting
program is going to elevate you to greater heights of
living, then your mind becomes the master of your flesh!
Your mind must be stronger than the desires of your
flesh, because your body has long been conditioned to
have food put into it at various intervals of the day.
The average person gets up and eats breakfast whether
hungry or not. When the stomach does all the directing,
the mind tags along with it’s desires. So, through reflex
conditioning, the stomach expects food for breakfast.
To me, breakfast is a worthless meal. The body has been
at rest all night. It has not expended energy, so why
should a person get up after the inactivity of sleep and
put a big breakfast into the stomach? I will tell you again,
“You must earn your food with physical activity!

Plan Your Fasting Program Today
So if you want to enjoy all these great benefits, be a
strong positive person, plan a fasting program for
yourself, and live strictly by it. Don’t tell anyone you
are going to fast, because the average person is ignorant
of the facts of fasting and they are not qualified to
criticize your health program. I never discuss my fasting
with people who have no knowledge of the miracles of
fasting. Why should I discuss it with them? They are
still full of fears held by the average person; that if they
miss a few meals, they will starve to death. So be
intelligent enough not to tell others what you are doing.
You will simply get a lot of worthless advice. Many times
while I am fasting for a week I conduct large Health
Crusades and I tell no one I am on a complete fast. Your
fasting time is very personal and it belongs to you, not
to anyone else. If you have faith in it, that’s all that’s
necessary. You are putting faith in God and Mother
Nature’s oldest and most respected way of purifying,
renovating and rejuvenating your body – fasting!

Fasting Program Regularly Removes Toxins
After a fast, you will find you don’t need as much
food as you used to eat! The fast shrinks your stomach
and you will feel lighter, look better and have more
vitality on 2 the food you were accustomed to.
I am an active man physically, yet I eat only two
light meals daily. I never snack between meals. Nibbling
and compulsory eating have been eliminated from my
life by my years of the 24 hour weekly fast and my fasts
lasting from 7 to 10 days, 3 or 4 times a year. After the
fast, your eyes sparkle and your skin tone improves.
Notice the more energy and vitality you have. Your heart
sings a lighthearted song because your body is cleaner
and healthier. It’s not burdened with fighting toxic
poisons. Your fasting program keeps lifting the toxins
from your bloodstream and vital organs regularly.

Don’t be a Slave to Foods
Most humans are slaves to foods; they must have
breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular meal hours every
day, year in and year out. They eat whether they are
hungry or not, and their poor bodies are burdened by
overeating . . . and usually poor nutrition as well! No
wonder we have so many physical wrecks! One of the
greatest nutritional teachers in the world, Professor
Arnold Ehret, said, “Life is a tragedy of nutrition.” How
true is the old trite saying, “Man digs his grave with his
knife and fork!” Many people never give their stomachs
a rest. They continually stuff and work the digestive and
eliminative functions with an overabundance of food.
This excessive burden means that the functions of
digestion and elimination become so overworked and
so exhausted that they simply collapse. The entire body
then becomes enervated! Millions suffer from fatigue

Fasting – The Safe, Perfect Cleanser
Of course, if you are loaded with toxic poisons, fasting
will flush these poisons out of the body and you will
feel a little uncomfortable, but these are momentary
experiences and should cause no concern. This means
only that fasting is working for you. You know you are
fasting to purify the body of the accumulated toxic
poisons and waste. When you feel uncomfortable, you
can say to yourself, “This is only temporary. This will
pass as soon as these old toxins are flushed out of my
body.” And what miracle rewards you’ll receive for the
small, temporary discomfort you may have experienced.
Your eyes become brighter and all the natural senses
of the body seem to be sharper! After a fast, your food
tastes better – the fruits and the vegetables taste so
marvelous, because of your newly revitalized taste sense!
Your body seems to be tireless and you will sleep like a
baby after a fast. There are so many rewards from a fast
that only a person who has actually fasted can truly
realize the great benefits that are achieved.

Fasting Awakens the Mind and Soul
In my own personal life, as well as in the lives of
many of my students who have been conscientious and
persistent in their fasting program, great mental and
spiritual doors have been opened! If I read a book today,
my mind retains what I read as clearly as if the book
were in front of me . . . that is, I have a photographic
memory. Hundreds of my students write that they, too,
have developed a keen photographic mind. After a fast
of 1 to 3 days, you will notice that a dark cloud has been
lifted out of your mind. You can think more logically
and you can come to decisions quite quickly. What was
once a great problem becomes trivial! After a fast, you
seem to fear nothing any more and things you worried
about are solved easily by your purified mind.
In my personal life, fasting helped me develop a keen
brain and extrasensory perception. I can find solutions
for problems that once caused me hours of anxiety and
nerve-exhausting worrying. My fasting program has
created an inner peaceful tranquillity of mind. I feel more
serene and at peace with myself and the world because
of my continued fasting program. As you purify your
body and mind, you seem to come closer to a power
higher than yourself! This inner strength and inner
power, makes you a positive-thinking, youthful person.
The memory becomes sharp as a razor’s edge. You
can remember names, places and events that go back
many years. You have a better capacity for self-education.
Education is not a preparation for life, but education is
life itself! To grow mentally and spiritually is the greatest
goal we humans can have on this earth. So fasting works
three ways. You purify your body physically, mentally
and spiritually and therefore enjoy super vitality and
health. Your mind becomes a sponge which can absorb
new facts and knowledge. Greatest of all are the inner
peacefulness and spiritual tranquillity that make life
worth living. Through fasting you find “Peace of Mind,”
the greatest and rarest gift of life.

Fasting is as Old as Man
The instinct that leads us to fast when the body is
sick or wounded resides in the cells of every living being.
The reason sick or wounded animals refuse to eat is that
the instinct of self-preservation takes away their hunger
so they will not eat. In this way, the Vital Force (which
would otherwise have to be used in the digestion of food)
is concentrated at the site of the injury to remove waste
products, thus purifying and healing the body. The
fasting instinct is so powerful and of such vital
importance that, even though semi-civilized man has
strayed from the natural path, he is still greatly
influenced by this wonderful saving scheme of Mother
Nature! If he would obey the silent voice of this infallible,
natural instinct and stop eating when hunger has been
withdrawn, he would soon get well. Better still, he would
never get sick again, provided he ate natural food, lived
in a natural environment and lived a sane, sensible,
healthy, peaceful and natural lifestyle.
Since the infallible intelligence of the living organism
withdraws the sensation of hunger when there is an
excess of food or when the body has been wounded,
the desire to fast begins when either of these happen.
We read in ancient history that fasting has been
practiced since time immemorial by the religious people
of the East and by most ancient civilizations. They practiced
fasting not only for the recovery of health and preservation
of youth, but for spiritual illumination as well. Accordingly,
we see the great philosopher, Pythagoras c.560-c.480 BC,
requiring his disciples to undertake a fast of 40 days before
they could be initiated into the mysteries of the spiritual
teachings. He claimed that only through a 40 day fast could
the minds of the disciples be sufficiently purified and
clarified to understand the profound teachings of the
beautiful mysteries of life.
As it was in the old days, fasting will not only purify
the body and help restore it to well-being, but has a
great effect on the mental and spiritual parts of man.
