That's ok. I'll do it for you. :) I know you'll love this one. ;)


"Prof. Child, of the University of Chicago, likewise has used worms to determine
the effects of fasting. He took a group of small flat worms which had grown old
and infirm and fasted them for months, until they had been reduced to a minimum
size. Then he started feeding them again, and as they grew back to their normal
size, they were just as young, from a physiological standpoint, as they ever were.
In his Senescence and Rejuvenescence, Prof. Child remarks: "Partial starvation
inhibits senescence. The starveling is brought back from an advanced age to the
beginning of postembryonic life; it is almost reborn."
Other experiments, conducted by F. Schultz, have shown that hydra are rejuvenated
by fasting, the animals reverting back to an embryonic state." Page 8

"Of course rejuvenation does not occur in man to the extent that it does in the
lowest forms of animal life. However, the effects of rejuvenescence are nevertheless
very noticeable in the case of human fasting. Dr. Carlson and Dr. Kunde, of
the Department of Physiology in the University of Chicago, placed a 40 year old
man on a 14 days fast. At the end of the fast his tissues were in the same physiological
condition as those of a 17 year old youth. In reference to fasting Dr. Kunde
remarks: "It is evident that where the initial weight was reduced by 45 per cent,
and subsequently restored by normal diet, approximately one-half of the restored
body is made up of new protoplasm. In this there is rejuvenescence." It may also
be pointed out that quite possibly much of the remaining part of the body not lost in
weight may also undergo significant changes of rejuvenescence as a result of
fasting." Page 9

The dreaded disease, multiple sclerosis, has been treated successfully with
fasting. Dr. Shelton states that "much progress may be expected in a great number" of late cases of this disease, even though recovery is not fully complete. Dr.
Richard Geithner, of the Blaubeuren Sanatorium in Germany, reported that three
multiple sclerosis patients "who agreed to the fasting-cure were free of paralysis
after 18 to 21 days of fasting." One of these patients had a new episode of paralysis
after the fast, which, in turn, was cured by another fast of 14 days. During the
following three years of observation, there was no recurrence of paralysis." Pages 24-25

"Of those fasting practitioners who have cared for mental patients, Dr. Hay had
some of the most notable experiences. He applied the absolute fast and partial
fast, along with proper nutrition, and he reported excellent results in the majority of
cases." Page 29

"Fasting is the safest and most appropriate method of treating varicose veins. It
does not destroy or coagulate the veins, which are accomplished by other methods
at the cost of overworking the deeper blood vessels, but it does heal varicose
ulcers, helps to restore tonicity to the walls of the veins, reduces their size and
provides freedom from pain." Page 30

"When stones have formed in
the gall bladder, somewhat longer fasts may be required but recovery is to be expected.
The patient with Gallstones finds relief from severe pain after the first few
days of the fast, although complete recovery in the more advanced cases may require
up to 20 to 25 days of abstinence from food. During the fast, the stones soften,
later disintegrate and then pass through the bile duct into the small intestine.
Some pain may occur during the passage of stones but this does not involve the
extreme discomfort frequently experienced prior to the fast." Page 31
