Guest guest Posted December 20, 2000 Report Share Posted December 20, 2000 People often think the answer to good health or a cure for an ailment is vitamin pills or some expensive product from the health food store. Even sometimes herbs in the form of tablets (I prefer tea infusions or decoctions or tinctures) whereas whilst all these things may help in alot of instances, and I've met people who've testified to this, I think a person can get better results and faster healing when they refer back to their kitchen and some answers are found in our food and proper nutritional juice fasting! I believe proper nutritional fasting gets rid of allot of disease. I think that some Naturopaths are getting like Doctors in that they're always pushing some product and are veering away from simple treatments and remedies. I rarely hear Natropaths today recommending a juice fast and refer people back to their kitchens. " The first thing an animal does when it is sick is stop eating. They fast themselves. Likewise, the first thing we need to do when we don't feel well is: stop food. There are a lot of reasons for that. Food takes a tremendous amount of energy to digest--and that's blood and energy. Our digestive system, basically the muscles and the tissues, fill with blood. When you stop eating, your digestive system rests, and all that blood and energy can be put somewhere else to heal you. People have said to me, " What do I do for this particular disease? " Juice fasting. " What do I do for degeneration? " Juice fasting. " What do I do for heart disease? " Juice fasting. Juice fasting is for the incurables. Juice fasting is the answer, because it allows your body to rest - and it lets your body choose what it wants to heal. If you just keep cramming food down your mouth, you'll just get more tired. Your body has to digest large amounts of food, and it's the opposite of what you should do when you're not well. Juices flush and cleanse the organs of the body. Juices are enzyme therapy. Juices contain gigantic amounts of enzymes. And a lot of people nowadays are taking enzymes because of the benefits, but you don't have to, they're in the juices. Enzymes are heat sensitive, meaning that when you cook food, you destroy all the enzymes. Now, when you eat that food or juice, it's okay. Your body will produce enzymes in order for you to digest that food. But when your body does that - it can't do something else. It only has a limited amount of energy. So, one of the things that juices do, because they are loaded with enzymes, is they give your body a vacation. Most of us live enzyme-free diets. If all we eat is cooked food, there are no enzymes in it. By supplying your body with high doses of enzymes, it gives many of your organs like your pancreas, your liver, your digestive system a holiday, because they don't have to try to manufacture chemicals that are coming in through your juices.
