Other than for serious, medical reasons, I don't see Fasting as a Good Thing

[Guest guest]

None of the other animals fast, I don't fast. The Urantia Book, page

1,605, Many of the Nazarite brotherhood became believers in Jesus,

but the majority of these ascetic and eccentric men refused to accept

him as a teacher sent from heaven because he did not teach fasting

and other forms of self-denial.

Froggy:

 

suggest you might want to take a look at

" Fasting for Renewal of Life " , by Herbert M. Shelton (one of the

gurus of the Natural Hygiene movement) who supervised over 30,000

fasts in his lifetime.

 

Factual error: many animals fast. e.g., salmon when they're doing the

long swim upstream to spawn, and many other examples. Many animals

that are hibernating/aetivating (sp?) also fast. There are many

others...

 

I recommend the book..

 

best,
