How?
How? The answer is easy and as old as the hills -
simply, by fasting.
Fasting, usually defined as abstinence from all, or some, types
of food and drink except water, has been used as a healing process
as well as for spiritual-religious reasons for thousands of years.
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Hippocrates: all believed in fasting
as a therapy.
Today, fasting is increasingly used as a method of detoxification
because of its ability to quickly increase the elimination of toxic
wastes and enhance the healing processes of the body.
This is why illness tends to suppress appetite. If the body is freed
from the need to devote resources to digestion, it is freed to focus
on the processes of combating infection, recuperation and cleansing.
Similarly,
during a fast, the body is unburdened to divert more energy towards
the process of cleansing itself of the thousands of toxins and chemicals
that have built up in the system over a lifetime of modern-day living.
However,
when these toxins are released into the bloodstream, it can make
a strict water fast difficult to endure.
