Re: Fasting for Peace and Light

Hello Sean,
your BMI is 21.6 and is considered to be within your ideal weight range, so nothing to worry about on that score.
There are no health implications in doing a 10 day fast except its improvement, unless you have known medical conditions that may be contrary to beginning a fast of any length.

The maximum benefits from your 10 day fast will only be accomplished if you rest physically/mentally/emotionally as much as possible during this time-frame as the energy saved from digestion and physical rest will be utilized in cleansing and healing. It shouldn't be a concern in losing weight and where this will be minimized if you adhere to the above, and where weight gain thereafter will be easier by allowing your digestion to rest and recuperate its functioning powers.

There is a Science and fine-art in conducting a fast by keeping warm, following the above advice, and not allowing the body to chill which inhibits elimination. Sleep where possible, but most find that this is needed less during the fast than at other times whilst eating.
It is also vital that you know how to break your fast correctly and where proper food combining post-fast will also help digestion enormously. There can only be distinct benefit from following this advice.

As far as your teeth & eyes are concerned this is the experience of Dr Shelton.....

"The only effects upon the teeth which I have observed to occur during a fast are improvements. I have seen teeth that were loose in their sockets become firmly fixed while fasting. I have seen diseased gums heal up while fasting. But I have never, at any time, observed any injurious effects upon the teeth during or after a fast, regardless of the age of the faster and the duration of the fast. This applies only to good teeth. Fasting does sometimes cause fillings to become loose.

Although I have always regarded the loosening of fillings in teeth as due to the extraction of the salts of the bad teeth, some of my students have brought up the question: Is the loss of the filling due to an effort of Nature to dislodge a foreign body preparatory to healing the tooth? This question is worthy of study".

"Many users of glasses are enabled to discard their glasses and see as well as ever without them. I have had one complete recovery from complete blindness in one eye while fasting. Invariably the eyes become clear and bright.
There are occasional fasters in whom, towards the end of a very prolonged fast, vision grows dim and coordination of their eyes is impaired. They see double, see spots floating before their eyes, and are unable to read. This is a temporary weakness that disappears after the fast is broken. I have never seen any permanent injury follow in these relatively rare cases, but have seen distinct and permanent improvement in vision follow. People who, before the fast were unable to get along without glasses, have been able to discontinue their use, after recovering from this temporary weakness.


The sense of smell becomes so acute that the faster is often annoyed by odors in his daily environment that he never before knew existed. People who have worn glasses for years and who could not read without them are frequently enabled by a fast to discard their glasses and find their sight to be as good as ever. The eyes also become clear and bright. The sense of touch becomes very acute".
