Faith On The Line - Stress, Stress Go Away Vol 19 | Page 31

The good news is, you don’t have to go on as radical a fast as
Mr. AB went on to get good results. You can get really good
results from a three-day water fast following 21 days of supernutritious eating. When you go on this 21 day program, you
begin by putting massive amounts of nutrients into your body.
Then during your three days of water fasting, your body begins
cleaning the system and repairing. Remarkable healing
can result.
Once you’ve tried it, you could be so impressed with your
results that you might want to do it again. You can repeat the
21 days of optimal eating and follow up with a 3-day fast again.
You’ve got nothing to lose but disease. Feed your body and let
it heal itself.

Why Fast?
Why would anyone choose to go without food for any
length of time? Isn’t eating regularly one of the body’s most
basic needs?
Many people choose to go without food for a given period
of time for the health and spiritual benefits associated with
fasting. You might think that fasting is a radical, new thing,
but fasting has been around for a long time. There are many
examples of fasting in the Bible.
Jesus is our example in all things. We know that Jesus fasted
for 40 days and He didn’t die. We can follow Jesus’ example in
fasting but remember: if you would like to fast for longer than
three days do not do it without qualified supervision.

Physical Benefits
Have you ever lost your appetite during times of stress or
illness? When your body is dealing with a crisis like severe
stress or an illness, it will often shut down the hunger drive in
order to focus energy on dealing with the problem. Instead of
spending precious energy on digestion, your body will use this
self-induced time of fasting to reestablish balance.
Even when you are not fighting an infection or a crisis of some
kind, daily life exerts stress upon every cell in your body. Cells
are damaged by stress hormones produced by your own body,
poor food choices, environmental radiation, and a whole host
of other events that are part of life on this planet.
When you choose to go without food, you allow your body to
deal with the cumulative damage caused by daily living.
They should commence to relieve nature of the load they
have forced upon her. They should remove the cause. Fast a
short time, and give the stomach chance for rest. Reduce the
feverish state of the system by a careful and understanding
application of water. These efforts will help nature in her
struggles to free the system of impurities. But generally the

persons who suffer pain become impatient. They are not
willing to use self-denial, and suffer a little from hunger
(Counsels on Diet and Food 304).
So often, we eat too much and work too much and we don’t
have balance in our lives. To get the results you’ve never had,
you’ve got to do what you’ve never done.
