The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental and Spiritual Rejuvenation

I'm a professional natural hygienist and have fasted several times 7 to 14 days. I've coached many people along this journey and have read just about all the books on fasting...even one by Dr Dewy written in 1900. I'm writing this review to rebuttal what the last person said about Paul Brags book vs. Dr Joel Fuhrman's book. Yes indeed Joel Fuhrman does write a great book and it's very factually based! However, this does NOT mean Paul Bragg's book is not a good choice. Paul's book is geared for the beginner and an excellent place to start when staring on the journey of fasting. As far as Patricia Bragg stating non factual things in the book...that's just not true. Paul Bragg lived to the age of 96 and would have gone longer had he not been in an accident. And he dedicated his life to wellness. He also practiced what he preached which is a lot more that I can say for a lot of authors who write fasting books. When I was the executive director at a wellness retreat I would have people come to the store and ask for the best book in the store. I would unequivocally point them to "The Miracle of Fasting" because it addressed the seven dynamics of wellness giving the person a broader scope of wellness. These 7 dynamics are... rest, exercise, water, air, food, sunshine and of course fasting! So, with this said...please understand that both of these wonderful books have a specific purpose. If someone who read Paul Braggs book wants to get deeper...then I would surely suggest Fuhrman's book!

I have not been able to stop reading this book as it is so encouraging to know that we can possibly live a long life almost exclusively free of disease just by living and eating healthily and obeying God's natural laws. I never new how powerful the body is in healing and cleansing itself until I purchased this book. I never want to set my feet in another physician's office just to be given a prescription for medicine. It's too bad that most physicians today haven't been trained to help their patients with nutrition. There isn't hardly a disease or sickness that can't be cured by fasting,praying,exercising, drinking pure water, deep breathing and fresh air and sunshine. A book that everyone should have.
