So I just ended a 4 and a half day fast about an hour ago. Went exactly 108 hours without consuming a single bite of food whatsoever and literally only water until the 4th day which I had some tea but added nothing to it whatsoever. It was actually quite surprisingly easy and didn't feel hungry at all and even in the 4th day I could've easily gone without eating. I also had a surprising amount of energy and while certainly felt a bit weaker than usual I was able to ride my bike around with little problems and able to do 20 push ups with little effort but noticeably a little more difficult than when I had been eating. My eyes and teeth have become incredibly white, like it legit looks like I went to the dentist and had my teeth bleached or something and my face is incredibly clear and almost all blackheads I had are now gone. Fasting is the real deal.
"Fasting is the greatest remedy-- the physician within."
Philippus Paracelsus, one of the three fathers of Western medicine"
"The best of all medicines is resting and fasting."
Benjamin Franklin"
"Everyone has a doctor in him; we just have to help him in his work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. ...to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness."
Hippocrates, one of the three fathers of Western medicine
"A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors."
Mark Twain, in My Debut As a Literary Person
"I believe that fasting is the "missing link" in the Western diet."
"From a medical point of view, I believe that fasing is not utilized often enough."
".... fasting is one of the best overall healing methods because it can be applied to so many conditions and people."
"Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature's ancient, universal 'remedy' for many problems. Animals instictively fast when ill."
all from Elson Haas, M.D. in Staying Healthy with Nutrition
"Due to [the] effects of fasting, a fast can help you heal with greater speed; cleanse your liver, kidneys, and colon; purify your blood; help you lose excess weight and water; flush out toxins; clear the eyes and tongue; and cleanse the breath."
James F. Balch, M.D., in Prescription for Nutritional Healing
"Therapeutic [water] fasting accelerates the healing process and allows the body to recover from serious disease in a dramatically short period of time."
"Fasting, combined with nutritional competence, removes the most significant causes of disease."
"Therapeutic fasting is not a mystical or magical cure. It works because the body has within it the capacity to heal when the obstacles to healing are removed. Health is the normal state. Most chronic disease is the inevitable consequence of living a life-style that places disease-causing stressors on the human organism. Fasting gives the body an interlude without those stressors so that it can speedily repair or accomplish healing that could not otherwise occur in the feeding state."
"The job of fasting is to supply the body with the ideal environment to accomplish its work of healing."
"The body's wondrous ability to autolyze (or self-digest) and destroy needless tissue such as fat, tumors, blood vessel plaque, and other nonessential and diseased tissues, while conserving essential tissues, gives the fast the ability to restore physiologic youth to the system. By removing or lessening the burden of diseased tissue, including the fatty tissue narrowing the blood vessels, fasting increases the blood flow and subsequent oxygenation and nutrient delivery to vital organs throughout the body."
