Fasting is not a cure for a disease. It only facilitates natural healing processes. Here is how to do a successful, safe fast.

1. Always fast in a bright, well-ventilated room, with exceptionally good ventilation. Fasters not only need a lot of fresh air; their bodies also emit strongly unpleasant odors.

2. Sun bathe in the morning before the sun gets too strong. 10 to 20 minutes is enough.

3. Scrub the skin with a dry brush, stroking in the direction of the heart. After this, take a shower with warm water two to four times a day. This will help the skin to get rid of toxins.

4. You should have two enemas every day for the first seven days of a fast and then once daily until the fast is finished.

5. Create a friendly environment with people who will support you. If this is not possible, fast on your own if you are experienced. Evade well-meaning intrusion or anxious criticism at all cost. The faster is very hypersensitive to emotions of other people.

6. Rest very much with the exception of a short walk of about 200 yards in the morning and night.

7. Drink at least three quarts of water every day. You must not become dehydrated!

8. Stop a long fast. Have diluted non-sweet grapefruit juice; sip a teaspoon at a time (no more than 8 ounces) and about every two to three hours. Next day, include small quantities of fresh juicy fruit to the same amount of juice you took yesterday, about every three hours. On the third day, include vegetable juice and juicy vegetables, for example tomatoes and cucumbers.

9. The second week after you resume eating, include complex vegetable and fruit salads. Do not eat fruit and vegetables together. The third week, include raw nuts and seeds. Take about 1/2 ounce three times daily. You can also add 1/4 avocado daily. In the fourth week, increase to three ounces of raw soaked nuts and seeds every day and 1/2 avocado on a daily basis. Cooked grains can also be included, in conjunction with steamed vegetables and vegetable soups.
