Believe it or not fasting is one of the best ways to treat auto-immune diseases. Dr. Joel Furhman, who wrote the book "Fasting And Eating For Health" shares many testimonies about how diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, diabetes and heart problems are improved and even cured by fasting. Dr. Furhman recommends closely supervised water only fasting for ten or more days. However, a total fast of nothing but water is very risky to do without supervision and should never be done for more than a day or two by inexperienced people on their own. MH has a fasting program using diluted orange juice that should provide excellent results. Another alternative is the Master Cleanse although the large amounts of Maple syrup may keep the immune system from returning to full power. Sugar strips the body of a healthy immune system. I once attended a seminar where the speaker said a single teaspoon of white sugar can reduce the function of the immune system by 25%. Just imagine what a can of Coke with about 12 teaspoons of sugar can do to your health.
Before beginning a fast, you might want to consider a parasite cleanse. Parasite can also bring havoc on an immune system and allow the body to turn on itself while it accepts the presence of parasites as normal. A clean healthy colon is also essential for good health and for a successful fast. Never try and fast while you are constipated; toxins can back up in the bowel and make you quite ill.
The main reason people become ill is because their bodies are so out of balance-homeostasis that they can not function normally. Problems like clogged colons, congested livers and gallbladders, poorly functioning kidneys and a host of other things indicate the body is out of balance and full of toxins. When the problem continues the immune system is so confused by the presence of so many toxins, bacteria, acidity, high sugar levels, clogged and narrowed arteries, and stressed nerves lacking in the basic amino acids and minerals, and possible alien invaders (parasites) that it turns on itself and begins attacking systems it no longer recognized as its own.
Most auto-immune diseases can be treated and cured, but it will take a life time long life style change. No single cleanse, diet, herb or drug can turn you around. MH can give you more specific advice about his products and protocols; but hopefully this post will both give you hope and prepare you for a lifetime of effort for maximum health and healing.
Just so you know, I am preparing for an orange juice fast with a parasite cleanse and colon cleanse. I have already done a number of liver flushes, and a kidney cleanse. I am dealling with nerve damage from a back injury and want to get as healthy as possible and avoid surgery.
