A vegetable juice fast is not a fast

[Guest guest]

According to natural hygiene which I follow.You will probably

be hungry on the juice fast or vegetable juice fast because the

body will never be in ketosis. This may clean out your plumbing

but won't get to the health healing level that many people want.

You may wish to learn more about Natural hygiene or not.There are

people in NH that had over 50 years of fasting experience. They ,

however, cannot teach you to do a good lotus position. Of course

anything can be called a fast. Jarrett did a Subway sub fast.

 

.. Cinque's Facts about Fasting

 

Definition: " Fasting is the complete abstinence from all substances

except pure water, in an environment of total rest. "

These are some of the benefits of fasting, according to Dr. Ralph

Cinque, who has experience with full-time therapeutic fasting

supervision since 1976.

For more in-depth information about fasting, see the recommended

reading list.

 

 

Health Benefits of Fasting

1. Fasting initiates rapid weight loss with little or no hunger. Once

the " ketosis " of fasting sets in, it becomes quite easy to go without

food. Most people are surprised at how little desire for food they

have while fasting.

 

2. Fasting promotes detoxification. As the body breaks down its fat

reserves, it mobilizes and eliminates stored toxins.

 

3. Fasting gives the digestive system a much-needed rest. After

fasting, both digestion and elimination are invigorated.

 

4. Fasting promotes the resolving of inflammatory processes, including

painful inflammatory syndromes such as rheumatoid arthritis.

 

5. Fasting quiets allergic reactions, including asthma and hay fever.

 

6. Fasting promotes the drying up of abnormal fluid accumulations,

such as edema in the ankles and legs and swelling in the abdomen.

 

7. Fasting corrects high blood pressure without drugs. Fasting will

reduce blood pressure to a safe range within two weeks or less in the

vast majority of cases. And the blood pressure will remain low after

the fast if the person eats correctly and lives healthily.

 

8. Fasting makes it easy to overcome bad habits and addictions. Many

people have overcome tobacco and alcohol addictions by fasting, and

even drug addictions. Fasting rapidly dissipates the craving for

nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and other drugs.

 

9. Fasting clears the skin and whitens the eyes. It is common to see

skin eruptions clear while fasting, and the whites of the eyes never

look so clear and bright as they do after a fast.

 

10. Fasting restores taste appreciation for wholesome natural foods.

People say that their taste buds come alive after fasting and that

food never tasted so good.

 

11. Fasting is the perfect gateway to a healthful diet and lifestyle.

Going on a fast gives you the motivation and enthusiasm to make a

fresh start and commit yourself to a new and better way of life.

 

12. Fasting actually shrinks the stomach- not in a harmful way, but

restoring it to its normal size. People tend to be satisfied with less

food after fasting.

 

 

Note: Despite the name, juice fasting is not classified as fasting

proper. Juice fasting is better described as juice diet, since it is

concentrated nutrition rather than abstinence from nutrition. Juice

fasting is also extremely beneficial, but can not be compared to water

fasting. I also supervise juice fasting / juice diets at my health

retreat. For example juice diets are often used just before and after

therapeutic (water) fasts. And juice diets can be used when water

fasting is not possible for certain patients.
