1.  Fast in a bright airy room, with exceptionally good ventilation, because fasters not only need a lot of fresh air; their bodies give off powerfully offensive odors. 2.  Sun bathe if possible in warm climates for 10 to 20 minutes in the morning before the sun gets too strong. 3.  Scrub/massage the skin with a dry brush, stroking toward the heart, followed by a warm water shower two to four times a day to assist the skin in eliminating toxins.  If you are too weak to do this, have an assisted bed bath. 4.  Have two enemas daily for the first week of a fast and then once daily until the fast is terminated. 5.  Insure a harmonious environment with supportive people or else fast alone if you are experienced.  Avoid well-meaning interference or anxious criticism at all cost.  The faster becomes hypersensitive to others’ emotions. 6.  Rest profoundly except for a short walk of about 200 yards morning and night. 7.  Drink water!  At least three quarts every day.  Do not allow yourself to become dehydrated! 8.  Control yourself!  Break a long fast on diluted non-sweet fruit juice such as grapefruit juice, sipped a teaspoon at a time, no more than eight ounces at a time no oftener than every 2 or 3 hours.  The second day you eat, add small quantities of fresh juicy fruit to the same amount of juice you took the day before no oftener than every 3 hours.  By small quantities I mean half an apple or the equivalent.  On the third day of eating, add small quantities of vegetable juice and juicy vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers.  Control yourself!  The second week after eating resumed add complex vegetable salads plus more complex fruit salads.  Do not mix fruit and vegetables at meals.  The third week add raw nuts and seeds no more than 1/2 ounce three times daily.  Add 1/4 avocado daily.  Fourth week increase to 3 ounces of raw soaked nuts and seeds daily and 1/2 avocado daily.  Cooked grains may also be added, along with steamed vegetables and vegetable soups.

The Prime Rules Of Fasting

Another truism of natural hygiene is that we dig our own graves with our teeth.  It is sad but true that almost all eat too much quantity of too little quality.  Dietary excesses are the main cause of death in North America.  Fasting balances these excesses.  If people were to eat a perfect diet and not overeat, fasting would rarely be necessary.

There are two essential rules of fasting.  If these rules are ignored or broken, fasting itself can be life threatening.  But if the rules are followed, fasting presents far less risk than any other important medical procedure with a far greater likelihood of a positive outcome.  And let me stress here, there is no medical procedure without risk.  Life itself is fraught with risk, it is a one-way ticket from birth to death, with no certainty as to when the end of the line will be reached.  But in my opinion, when handling degenerative illness and infections, natural hygiene and fasting usually offer the best hope of healing with the least possible risk.
