The Miracle of Fasting,
By
This review is from: The Miracle of Fasting (Paperback)
I found this book to be a really useful read, it gives the reader sensible step by step instructions on how to carry out a safe 'fast'. Telling you what to expect. There are quite a few examples of people who have benefitted from such a programme. There is a spiritual side to it as well and I liked that.

Useful background knowledge but...,

This review is from: The Miracle of Fasting (Paperback)
As an American publication it is full of marketing but that doesn't detract from the messages in the book. There is a lot of useful information here, such as how to break a fast, that isn't always so down to earth in more medically oriented books on fasting but it doesn't deal too much with the equally important preparation for a fast.
Fasting is a very natural way to kickstart a change in one's eating habits, overcoming infections or begin a weight loss program but it does recommend short one day fasts for beginners and experienced fasters alike. I don't think this is such a good idea. And it makes you scared to drink anything other than purified or distilled water - such rubbish! It takes the body two to four days to get into the fasting state so anything shorter is little more than a 'crash diet'. It just makes you hungry, irritable and mayber scared of trying a longer fast. Fasting is so natural that it doesn't need medical or laboratory conditions. Ordinary tap or bottled water is fine (or herb teas). Reducing meat intake for the two or three days before beginning the fast is all that's needed to avoid colonics, enemas or saltwater flushes (all of which are unnatural and unnecessary). When you stop eating, the digestive system shuts down so any animal protein in there 'may' putrefy while fasting but any toxins generated can be taken care of while the body is in it's detoxifying state anyway. After three or four days the hunger goes (I can cook for my family without being tempted to eat when I'm fasting) and as long as the water intake is sufficient there's no need to worry about continuing on with a normal life: exercise, work, gardening, running - keep on doing whatever you normally do (apart from eating, that is). I wouldn't bother fasting for less than a week, though I don't think it's necessary to go beyond two weeks either if you fast every year. A week each in spring and autumn or two weeks in the summer is fine. It only takes three days to break a fast up to three weeks long. A useful addition to a library of books on fasting but not essential. It's no fasters bible.

Interesting but with too much marketing,
By Upior (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Miracle of Fasting (Paperback)
I found the book very interesting however it was difficult for me to read in the beginning because the book is full of marketing of Bragg's products, some additional quotations, etc. It's almost like reading somebody's notes.
After reading the book I started fasting every Friday for about three months. Now I changed it to a fruit diet.
