Science and Fine Art of Fasting Hardcover

Fasting is presented as a vital healing process, contrary to common beliefs about illness and nutrition. The author, Herbert Shelton, emphasizes that fasting allows the body to utilize its own tissues for nourishment, redirecting energy from digestion to tissue repair and toxin elimination. With insights drawn from extensive experience, Shelton outlines the physiological changes during fasting, its potential to reverse chronic diseases, and practical guidance for conducting fasts. The book covers a range of topics, including the effects of fasting on mental and physical health, and provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and implementing fasting as a therapeutic practice.
