Today we will tell you about what fasting (healing) is, why it is necessary and how to adhere to it. In addition, you will learn how to properly prepare for such a procedure, whether it is possible to carry out it at home and how to get out of this state.
What is starvation?
Fasting is a very powerful spiritual practice that has come to us from the depths of centuries. There is no religion where the complete rejection of food for self-purification is not used.
Fasting gives people strength and health. After all, it is an innate instinct that is bestowed upon us by nature. Voluntary refusal to eat leads a person to amazing changes in his body.
Fasting (curative) is good for diseases of the heart, spine, allergies, asthma, skin diseases and joint ailments, ulcers of the duodenum or stomach, obesity, benign tumors, the initial stages of diabetes, etc. It should also be noted that a complete cessation of food intake significantly improves the mental health of a person.
Why is it necessary?
Having first heard about medical starvation, people very often think about why for the current development of medicine and science, refusal to eat is necessary? There are many reasons for a modern person to use this method of treatment. We eat a lot, move a little, use products that are saturated with pesticides, preservatives and various additives, drink low-quality water, breathe polluted air and suffer from stress. All these factors regularly reduce the quality of our lives and worsen our health.
Problems of mankind
Fasting treatment allows you to do what modern medicine is not capable of. By the way, it is regular intake of tablets that worsens the condition of an unhealthy person even more. Believing in the omnipotence of medicine, modern people began to completely shift the care of their bodies to numerous doctors. The result is a paradoxical situation: we drink, smoke, eat and move a little, and then we go to the doctor and try to solve our problems with the help of expensive pills. Of course, nothing good comes of this. After all, a medicine is just a chemical substance that cannot do anything in our body. But starvation (therapeutic), on the contrary, without material costs can quite effectively contribute to the fight against a variety of harmful factors. How to implement it correctly?
What can I eat?
Healing starvation at home is especially popular with those who have refused the services of modern medicine and decided to take their health into their own hands.
What can you eat during such a cleansing? This strange question is often asked by many people who are starting to starve for the first time. In fact, it’s quite difficult for a person to get used to the idea that his body can do without food for a long time.
The main rule of fasting is a complete lack of food. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to consume juices, coffee, tea, sucking sweets and even more so to use chewing gum. Only with a complete lack of food can a person switch to internal nutrition. Having used its own fats, the body will provide itself with everything necessary. If you save even the smallest intake of food, then this transition will not happen, and a person will suffer from exhaustion.
Can I take pills?
The use of drugs during a complete refusal of food is strictly regulated. Those who constantly use pills for heart ailments and drugs that lower blood pressure, as well as hormones, insulin, etc., should definitely consult a doctor who can send the patient to the Fasting Center, where he will be under the strict supervision of highly qualified specialists.
Can I drink water?
Returning to the question of what you can eat during fasting, it should be noted that during the period of such fasting it is allowed to drink only spring, thawed, boiled, distilled or well water. Moreover, it must be clean. The amount of fluid that can be consumed at this time is strictly individual. For those who are starting to starve for the first time, it is better to drink more water. After all, this will help to avoid intoxication and it is easier to transfer the whole process.
Starvation at home
Today, there are many medical institutions that specialize in such a technique. For example, the Maykop Clinic for Clinical Fasting annually receives hundreds of people who decide to take care of their own health and cleanse their body of all existing sores. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to contact such a center. That is why therapeutic fasting at home is very popular.
To independently refuse to consume food, you do not need to be a specialist in this field. After all, this requires only the presence of common sense and your great desire. And before using this technique, you should definitely familiarize yourself with some principles of fasting. Let's consider them in more detail.
Four rules of fasting
Any clinic for therapeutic fasting adheres to strict rules for introducing a person into this process and its exit. Those who must decide to self-medicate at home should adhere to the same principles.
First, you should familiarize yourself with the essence of the method presented. To do this, you can purchase books by such famous authors as G. Shelton, P. Breg and Yu. Nikolaev. Fasting for them is not just a physical cleansing of toxins and fats, but a spiritual practice that visibly brightens the mind.
In addition, you can find out how other people refuse to eat. To do this, you can find like-minded people on various sites, forums and so on.
Secondly, when fasting at home, one should not refuse food for a long time. At the initial stage, it is recommended to use this technique for 1-3 days. Fasting for a period of 7-10 days is allowed after several shorter refusals of food. Fasting for a period of 14 to 21 days is recommended to be used only after the successful completion of several previous methods, as well as in the absence of contraindications. In this case, it is desirable that the patient is under the strict supervision of a specialist or experienced starving person.
Thirdly, care must be taken. Despite the fact that fasting is a completely safe method of healing and treatment, some complications are possible with its use. If during this procedure you have unforeseen situations, then it should be discontinued.
Fourth, in the presence of serious diseases, regular intake of hormonal drugs, insulin, etc., fasting is allowed only under the strict supervision of a highly qualified specialist and only in the appropriate clinic.
Proper preparation for the first fasting
Miracles of fasting! That is how those people who fully passed this technique and noticeably healed their bodies evaluate their condition. If you decide to self-medicate, then to facilitate the procedure it is recommended to follow a few simple rules.
- Cleaning procedures. Before you go on a fast, you should cleanse your intestines. For this, you can use ordinary enemas. By cleansing yourself, you will not only ease your own well-being, but also help your body quickly and easily switch to internal nutrition, reduce hunger and intoxication.
- Compliance with a dairy and vegetable diet. Exactly seven days before the scheduled date, you should abandon fatty, meat and heavy foods, as well as various spices and seasonings, alcohol and so on.
- Choose the right time. The best period for self-cleaning is the end of July, August or the beginning of September. After all, it is warm enough at this time of year, there is a huge amount of vegetables and fruits, and there is also the opportunity to walk in the fresh air.
Difficulties during a complete refusal of food
“Miracles of starvation” is the most accurate description of the condition that is observed in a person who has undergone a 3-, 7-, 14- or 21-day technique. However, such an effect can be observed only after fasting and its proper observance. Indeed, in the process of starvation, a person is faced with a lot of unpleasant problems and difficulties.
According to those who are not the first time using this technique for self-cleaning, this is a rather complicated method of treatment. After all, not everyone can pass the test of hunger.
People using this technique usually experience the same sensations as during an exacerbation of a disease. In the first 2-3 days there is a huge discomfort. This is a feeling of hunger, and discomfort in the abdomen, and regular headaches, and a deterioration in mood, and dizziness, and so on. Especially hard for beginners. However, after 3-5 days, the body completely switches to internal nutrition, and health improves markedly. So, some people can feel a sharp surge of vigor. Although, even so, the movements and speech of the starving man remain slow. In addition, a person may change gait or perception of time.
According to experienced starving people, at such a time, their body begins to work in an economical mode. And the longer the starvation lasts, the stricter it is with regard to energy costs.
Thus, deciding to use this technique to improve your body, you should be prepared for such difficulties and sensations.
Problems in getting out of fasting
What is the difference between home and inpatient therapeutic fasting? A sanatorium or clinic that uses these methods is good because the patient is under strict control and supervision of specialists. Indeed, when you exit this state, there is also a lot of unpleasant moments. So, after 5-7 days of complete refusal of food, the human body is already completely switched to internal nutrition, and therefore the accepted products may not be immediately absorbed and processed. In this regard, experts recommend that those who are starving at home begin to consume food in small portions, chew solid foods well and dilute concentrated drinks. If you neglect these tips, then an indigestion is guaranteed. It should also be noted that with long periods of fasting, a sharp and voluminous consumption of food can be dangerous to human life.
Experienced starving people say that the way out of purification should last the same time as the technique itself.
Recovery period
Having completed the process of starvation, the human body does not immediately return to its original state. So, within 1-2 months, various changes can occur in it. It is this time that you must be extremely careful and not violate the rules of nutrition, sliding into the usual gluttony. Indeed, otherwise the usefulness that starvation has given to a person can simply be lost. In this regard, it is recommended to make some efforts for self-control.
Losing weight fasting
During starvation, the human body completely switches to backup nutrition, the basis of which is its fat deposits. For a normal existence during the day with a complete refusal of food, 300-400 grams of fat is enough for a person. When this amount of accumulation is broken down, glucose is formed, which is the basis of the body's vital activity.
Let's look at approximate values of how a person’s weight will decrease during water starvation:
- from 1 to 7 days - about 1 kg per day;
- from 7 to 10 days - about 500 grams per day;
- from 10 days and the whole subsequent period - about 300-350 grams per day.
To summarize
Starting the process of fasting, a person should clearly understand that this is not a simple amusement procedure, but a very difficult, difficult, and sometimes even unpleasant activity, which should be prepared in advance (both physically and mentally).
Despite all the difficulties that await the starving on this path, this is a very worthwhile undertaking. If you are not afraid of difficult tasks and you have tremendous willpower, then you can safely begin fasting. After all, such a technique allows you to return youth, beauty and health. The main thing that should be remembered in the process of fasting is that all good things in life happen only when people make every effort to do this.
