Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature's ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems. If one is fasting for health purposes, it makes sense to support our body's needs while we reduce or remove some necessary elements from our diet. The basic elements that we need to remove from our diet for the sake of our health are cooked food and animal products. This includes the denatured packaged products such as white flour, refined sugar etc. and all animal products such as red meat, poultry, fish and eggs.

Fasting is the single greatest natural healing therapy. It is nature's ancient, universal "remedy" for many problems.
