MORE: A TECHNIQUE FOR SUCCESSFUL FASTING </span> </p>
<p><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>"One quarter of
what you eat keeps you alive; </span></i><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
<br>
</span><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'> the other
three-quarters <span class=GramE>keeps</span> your doctor alive." </span></i><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Americans eat way too
much fat, way too much sugar, and way too much protein. In fact, Americans simply
eat too much of everything. The way out of this dilemma is so easy that
we usually miss it: consider occasionally fasting. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I can almost hear the
sound of yet another one of my books being slammed down, being put back on
the shelf, or being quietly incinerated. While you are warming your
hands from the imaginary glow that these pages would doubtlessly produce, may
I continue? </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Look: nothing
succeeds like success. We could spend all day talking about the value of
fasting, but only you can find out for yourself what it can do for
you. Experience is your best teacher, and improved health is always the
best proof. A fast will cost very little money, and may well be one of
the best things you've ever done for yourself. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Yes, you cannot accuse me
of being in this just for the money, for not eating is certainly cheap
enough. Fasting should be with your doctor's approval, and is not for
growing children, and clearly not for anyone pregnant or nursing. People
who are taking certain medications and people who have other compelling
medical reasons should not fast. This still leaves the majority of us as
more-or-less willing candidates. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>One of the reasons
fasting merits your attention is that anything else is so often ineffective
or downright dangerous. One of the really amazing books of our time is <i>Medical
Nemesis</i>, by Ivan <span class=SpellE>Illich</span><span class=GramE>
(</span>Bantam, 1977) Dr. <span class=SpellE>Illich</span> shows, in
exhaustive detail, that medical care has become literally sickening. One
in five hospital patients is there because a physician's mistake put him or
her there. And with that point, the book is just warming up. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Ever since George
Washington's doctors killed him with their prescriptions (No kidding: <i>Medical
and Physical Journal</i>, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City>,
1800. Volume 3, page 409), people have been seeking LESS HARMFUL
treatments than conventional medicine has offered. A common
"scientific" argument against fasting is that it is always
unsafe. Truly the pot is calling the kettle black when drug-based
medicine criticizes the safety of the therapy that all animals naturally use,
namely fasting. First thing a sick animal does is <span class=GramE>go</span>
off its feed. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Fasting has GOT to be
safer than, say cocaine or heroin, don't you think? Yet each year,
doctor-prescribed drugs kill more Americans than street drugs. Drug
Abuse Warning Network statistics indicate less than 10,000 deaths annually
from illegal drugs. 130,000 Americans actually die in hospitals each year

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The following is one
approach to safe, comfortable fasting. </span><span style='font-size:

<p><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>21-DAY CYCLE FOR
CLEANSING AND GOOD HEALTH </span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A "cycle" is
made up of an eight day juice fast, three days to come off the fast, and then
ten days on a three-quarters raw food diet. (8 + 3 + 10 = 21
days.) This really works. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>FASTING<span
class=GramE> <span style='font-family:"Times New Roman";font-weight:
normal;font-style:normal'> </span></span></span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>First, fast.
Eight days may seem like a very long time to go without food. Actually, for
the first day or two of a fast, your body uses up the food remaining in your
digestive tract from previous meals. For the next couple of days, your
body uses stored food reserves from your liver. This means that a fast
doesn't really begin until about the fifth day. Now an eight day fast is
closer to a three day <span class=GramE>fast,</span> and attainable by nearly
everyone. <i>(Diabetics and persons on medication requiring meals
should check with their physician, of course. Fasting is not for children,
pregnant women or nursing women. If there is a medical reason why you should
not fast, then don't. Check with your doctor first.) </i></span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Since "fasting"
conjures up visions of starvation, it is important to realize that we are
talking about JUICE fasting here. Freshly made vegetable juices, taken
in quantity, are not a beverage. They are a raw, highly digestible
food. It is ideal to have all the juice you want, without forcing
yourself to drink it. The rules: "When you are hungry, drink
juice. When you are thirsty, drink juice also." </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>JUICING</span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>It is generally a
good idea to dilute your juice 50/50 with water. If you can afford filtered
water, use it. If not, <span class=GramE>don't worry</span>... the
goodness of the juices will carry you. Some people, including me, do not
like the taste of diluted juice. An alternative is to drink a glass of
water, then drink a glass of juice. This gives the same effect, and
tastes better. Be sure to drink the water first, for after the juice you
may not want the water as much. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>When we say
"juice", we generally are referring to vegetable juice, freshly
prepared. Fruit juice tends to be too sweet for comfortable
fasting. However, there is nothing to stop you from experimenting and
coming up with your own best regimen. As long as you get good results,
HOW you get them is secondary. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You cannot buy freshly
prepared vegetable juice in any store at any price... unless they literally
juice the vegetables right in front of your eyes and you drink it down before
they make you pay for it! Any juice in a <span class=GramE>carton,</span>
can or bottle has been heat treated and was certainly packaged at least a few
hours ago. Even frozen juice is not fresh, then, is it? This means that
you will need one essential and somewhat expensive appliance: your own
juicer. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>JUICERS</span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A juicer is not a
blender. A juicer makes juice; a blender makes raw baby
food. There is nothing wrong with blending your foods. If you found
such food to your liking, it would actually be very digestible. However,
to make juice you need to extract the fluid part of the vegetable along with
the vitamins, minerals and enzymes it contains. Therefore, you need a
juice extractor. We are also not referring to a whirl-top orange juicer,
either. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Be sure to get a really
good juicer. Good juicers make tastier juices, faster. Good juicers also
clean up more quickly than cheap juicers. I have no financial connection
whatsoever with anyone who makes or sells a juicer. I do not sell juicers; I
only recommend owning one. I personally like the "Champion" brand
juicer. It costs under $300 and might last you 30 years. Basically
a motor with teeth, a Champion will virtually juice a two-by-four.
Quick and easy to use and to clean. I’ve had mine for 15 years now
and it is used daily. I did buy for an extra blade assembly, but
haven’t really needed it yet. </span><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There are many cheaper
juicers and also many dissatisfied folks who thought they'd save a buck and
now regret that they bought a "bargain" juicer. If you spend under
$150, you are likely to be disappointed with your purchase within
weeks. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Clean-up is easy.
The moment you have finished making (and drinking!) your juice, just rinse
the cleanable parts with water and set them in a dish-drainer rack until the
next use. Soap will rarely be necessary as long as you don't mind the
plastic parts of the juicer gradually becoming the same color as your
favorite vegetables. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>WHAT TO JUICE</span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You can juice almost
anything you can eat raw. Vegetables are best, especially carrots,
cucumbers, beets, tomatoes, zucchini squash, romaine lettuce, sprouts, celery
and cabbage. You may juice fruits also, naturally. Freshly made raw
apple, grape, and melon juices are delicious. It is not generally a good
idea to juice potatoes, eggplant or Lima beans (not that you'd want
to.) </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>It is wise to peel
vegetables that have been sprayed or waxed, such as cucumbers. Sprayed
fruits are also good to peel before juicing. Carrots and other
underground vegetables often do not need peeling. Instead, give them a
good scrubbing with a nylon-bristle vegetable brush while rinsing under tap
water. Beets are the exception. Since beet skins are very bitter, it is
wise to peel beets before juicing. A hint to save time: dip the
beets for about 20 seconds in boiling water and then peel them... it's much
easier. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Your juice will taste the
best if you drink it right after preparing it. I mean within
moments! Fresh juice contains a great amount of raw food enzymes and
vitamins, many of which are easily lost as the juice sits. So don't let
it sit! Drink it right down, with the thought that this is unbelievably
good for you. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>HOW MUCH JUICE TO
DRINK<span class=GramE> <span style='font-family:"Times New Roman";
font-weight:normal;font-style:normal'> </span></span></span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Drink as much juice
as you wish. Remember that it is a food, not a beverage and that you
can have as much as you want. There is little fear of over doing
it. It is, after all, hard to hurt yourself with vegetables! </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A good rule of thumb is
to drink three or four eight-ounce glasses of fresh juice a day (for an
adult). The best time is right before a meal, or between meals.
Absorption of and benefit from the juice is highest then. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You will probably find
that you will be urinating more as you drink more juices. That figures,
doesn't it? You are taking in more liquid. You may also notice
that you have more bowel movements now than you were previously accustomed
to. This, too, is to be expected. Your body may well respond to all this
nourishment by "cleaning house" a bit. More excretory symptoms
would be the result. Ever notice how many trash cans you fill when you
clean out the attic, basement or garage? Why, you hardly noticed
all the rubbish you had stored in there until you went to clean it out.
The same is true, by analogy, with your body. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>WHAT JUICES ARE
BEST FOR YOU<span class=GramE> <span style='font-family:"Times New Roman";
font-weight:normal;font-style:normal'> </span></span></span></i></b><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You may drink those
juices that appeal to you the most. To find out your favorites, try
each of them! </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>CARROT<i> </i>juice is
tasty and popular, and two glasses of carrot juice per day are highly
beneficial. There is no need to peel your carrots if you first scrub
them well with a tough brush. I recommend a vegetable brush with nylon
bristles for this purpose. Brush the daylights out of the carrots while
rinsing them under water. This is quicker than peeling, and is less
wasteful. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Carrot juice is very high
in vitamin A. The vitamin A in carrots is actually "<span
class=SpellE>provitamin</span> A" or carotene. Carotene is
completely non-toxic, no matter how much you consume. The worst thing
that can happen if you drink a huge amount of carrot juice is that you will
turn orange. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>No, really. You see,
beta carotene is a natural pigment, a natural coloring. Excess carotene
is stored in your skin until your body wants it and then turns it into active
vitamin A as needed. An abundance of carotene in your skin makes you
look orange. This condition is called "<span class=SpellE>carotenosis</span>"
and is harmless. Okay, it looks odd to visit the folks (or the doctor) when
you are orange. I know: when my son was little, he LOVED sweet potatoes,
carrots and butternut squash to the point of orange skin. The relatives
got a bit worried, but the coloration disappeared after we limited his orange
veggies for a week or two. So, to get rid of the color, simply back off
the carrot juice (and other orange vegetables) for a while and it will
go away. If someone thinks you are not well, tell them what you
are doing. A doctor who thinks you have jaundice could then understand
right away that you don't. Liver function tests would also confirm your
good health. Naturally, you don't have to turn orange to enjoy the
goodness of carrot juice. You can drink just enough to feel great
...without looking like a pumpkin! </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Some folks have tried
canned or bottled carrot juice and they didn't like it. No wonder! Fresh
juice tastes SO much better that there isn't really any comparison. I
have two teenagers who WILL drink freshly-made carrot juice. Could there
possibly be any higher recommendation than that? </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>CELERY juice is very
tasty, but a bit high in sodium. Use small amounts of this juice to
flavor the others. Juice celery leaves and all for the most
benefit. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>CUCUMBER juice is
remarkably tasty. It tastes rather different than a cucumber
itself. Perhaps you will find that the taste reminds you of watermelon.
Peel cucumbers before juicing to avoid the waxes applied to their skins to enhance
their shelf life in supermarkets. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>ROMAINE LETTUCE or BEAN
SPROUTS will make an especially nutritious juice with a taste that is well
worth acquiring. This "green drink" is loaded with minerals
and chlorophyll. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>ZUCCHINI SQUASH juiced up
tastes better than you'd ever imagine. Peel first, and enjoy. You
may well be the first on your block to be a zucchini-juice fan. It also keeps
the juicer from clogging on higher-fiber vegetables.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>BEET juice is,
traditionally, a blood-builder. In days past, herbalists looked at the
blood-red beet as a tonic more so because it worked, rather than any color
similarity. Beets must be peeled before juicing. Beet skins are
very bitter. The beets, on the other hand, are quite sweet and make
great juice. They will also permanently stain your juicer, so don't try
to remove that color by washing. More important, beet juice will color
your bowel movements. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>That lovely red color of
fresh beets can cause genuine alarm when it is seen in the toilet
water. I know someone who had forgotten that he'd had beet juice the day
before. He could only figure that he had a terrible case of hemorrhoids when
he looked into the toilet and saw that red, red water. It was the
beets, of course. When you have beet juice, remember not to be alarmed. Beet
juice is widely used in the food industry as a natural coloring agent.
You can (literally) see why! </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A hint: you will save
time if you first carefully dip beets in boiling water before peeling
them. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>CABBAGE juice was used by
Garnett Cheney, M.D. to cure bleeding peptic ulcers back in the 1950's.
(Cheney, G. (1952) "Vitamin U therapy of peptic ulcer." <i>California
Medicine</i>, 77:4, 248-252) Dr. Cheney's patients drank a quart of
cabbage juice a day and were cured in less than half the usual time... with
no drugs whatsoever. Since then, cabbage juice has successfully been
used for a variety of gastrointestinal illnesses. Colitis, spastic
colon, indigestion, chronic constipation, certain forms of rectal bleeding
and other conditions seem to respond well to the nutrients in cabbage
juice. Dr. Cheney called its healing factor "Vitamin U"
(for unknown). More recently, the American Cancer Society has urged
people to eat more of the cabbage/broccoli family of vegetables because of
their protective effects against cancer. There may be something to this
cabbage juice idea. It certainly couldn't hurt to try it. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>TOMATOES are easily
juiced. Do not juice the leaves, vines, or green tomatoes. Only
the red, ripened fruit is good for you. Yes, the tomato is a fruit.
A fruit of a plant is essentially a seed-containing structure that can be
picked without killing the plant. Hmm. This means that cucumbers, squash
and even green beans are all fruits. That's true. Think of the fun
you will have at your next Thanksgiving dinner when you ask Aunt Xanthippe to
"Please pass the fruits" when the only foods near her are squash
and green beans. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This may help ease the
minds of those who question whether you should have fruits and vegetables
together at a meal. Since few people are aware that pumpkin pie, tomato
soup, and zucchini bread are all made out of fruits, why split hairs? </span><span

at home and carry it in a Thermos. Not ideal for taste, but people have done

oxidation. Fill the vacuum bottle all the way to the top so when you close

there is little or no air inside to spoil the goodness. Of course you can

</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>At the beginning of
this section we were talking about a 21-day "cycle" beginning
with eight days just on fresh juices, three days to come off the juice
"fast," and then ten days of a 75% raw food diet. This makes <span
class=GramE>a total</span> cycle duration of three weeks (21 days). Now
that you have a better idea about the juicing segment, let's take a look at
the next steps. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Coming off the juice
"fast" is best done by eating lightly for a while. Fruit,
fruit salads, vegetable soups, cottage cheese and other light foods are
appropriate at this point. A good rule of thumb here is to eat only
half as much as you want to at any one time... but eat twice as often.
This is for about three days. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>For the ten day 75% raw
food diet, you can eat all you want as long as three-quarters of it is uncooked.
For the uncooked part of the diet, eat fresh, raw vegetables and
fruits. Don't forget nuts, too. If they are raw, they count. Begin
each meal with a large salad, perhaps a fruit salad for breakfast.
Then, when you've finished the salad, have whatever you want within
reason. The 25% cooked portion could include whole grain breads and
pasta, brown rice, cooked beans, lentils, cooked vegetables including
potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, squash and other foods that you like.
Meat is not recommended, nor is chicken or turkey.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>One of the best sources
of flesh protein is seafood. Fish is a major source of important oils and
other nutrients in addition to protein. Enjoy it as often as you wish,
but avoid breaded or fried seafood. Shrimp and shellfish are good
foods. Generally, it is wise to avoid eating a catch from questionably
polluted waters, such as the <st1:place w:st="on">Great Lakes</st1:place>. This
is one statement that I look forward to striking from this writing when our
fresh waters are cleaner. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If you don't want to eat
seafood, you do not have to. Eggs in moderation, cheese, unsweetened
yogurt, raw cow's milk, goat's milk, tofu, <span class=SpellE>miso</span>, <span
class=SpellE>tempeh</span>, nuts, and especially beans and bean sprouts are
all good protein sources. The issue is not WHERE you get your protein
but ARE YOU getting your protein. If you are not yet a vegetarian, now
is the time to move in that direction. If you currently don't eat meat, <span
class=GramE>good</span> for you... and remember: get plenty of protein. </span><span
