The Miracle of Fasting

"Fasting Conserves Your Vital Force"
Let me explain. We eat food and, as it passes through the body, it must be masticated, digested, assimilated and then the waste is eliminated. We have four great organs of elimination: the bowels, the kidneys, the lungs, and the skin. In order for these eliminative organs to work perfectly, the body must build a high "Vital Force" or energy quota.

It Takes Energy To Eliminate Body Wastes. It takes a tremendous amount of "Vital Energy" to pass a large meal through the gastrointestinal tract, the thirty foot tube that runs from the mouth to the rectum. It takes the great power of "Vital Energy" to pass liquids through the 2 million filters of the human kidneys. It takes "Vital Power" for the chemical power of the liver and the gall bladder to do their work in preparing food for the billions of body cells to feed upon. It takes great "Vital Power" for the lungs to bring in oxygen to purify the whole 5 to 8 quarts of blood in your body, and expel carbon dioxide. It takes great "Vital Power" for the skin, with its 96 million pores, to throw off body poisons in the form of moisture and sweat.

It is the duty of the "Vital Power" to supply the energy to rid the body of the poisons that are created in our intake of food. The "Vital Power" must keep the body temperature at 98. 6 degrees at all times. If it goes higher, we become sick. If we fall below this figure, we become sick. In our modern civilization, the "Vital Power" has many other poisons to cope with; the filth and dirt that man creates.

Fasting Aids in Flushing Deadly Poisons from the Body:
When we fast - stop eating - all the "Vital Power" that has been used to convert food into energy and body tissue, is now used to flush poisons from the body.

When I go on a 10 day complete water fast, I take a specimen of my urine each day the first thing upon arising, I put the urine in a small bottle and let it cool and settle. In a few days I can see little crystals forming in the urine. I have had my urine examined for chemicals, and the examiner has told me time and time again that traces of DDT, and other deadly pesticide residues, appeared in my urine. On one occasion I took a 21 day complete fast. On the 19th day, I had terrible pains in my bladder. When I urinated it felt like red hot water passing through me. I had the urine examined and sure enough it was filled with DDT and other pesticide poisons.
A great feeling of energy flowed over my body when this poison passed out of it. The whites of my eyes were as clear as new snow. My body took on a pink glow and energy surged through my body. Now, remember I had been fasting for 19 days. Yet, I drove over to Pasadena, California, to Mt. Wilson, which is six thousand feet high, and climbed the trail with absolutely no exertion. I ran most of the way down the winding trail. I felt that a tremendous burden had been lifted from my body.

In my personal opinion, fasting is the only way to rid the body of commercial poisons found in our fruits and vegetables.
