Introduction
Under the accustomed method of fasting, during which only water is allowed the fasting patient, fasting is really a hardship and it requires strong will power to continue the fast, especially during the first three days when hunger is so acute. And even after hunger disappears after the first three days of the fast, that feeling of weariness and fatigue which usually is present during the day and that state of nervousness during the night, making sleep difficult or impossible makes fasting under the old way highly unpleasant. Only those who are in profound suffering and have not found remedy for their ills anywhere else, or those who have discovered that through fasting it is possible to prevent disease, relieve suffering, preserve the vigour of youth and prolong the span of life possess the will power to undertake a water fast.
Hence, it is this state of weariness, nervousness, lack of sleep, low vitality and great loss of weight during the water fast, that has scared many people and prevented them from submitting to this process of purification which would enable them to attain a higher degree of health and prolong their span of life.
But under "The New, Easy and Efficient Way to Fast" the above horrors disappear and one finds fasting easy from beginning to end. In fact, those who are suffering physical pain or discomfort in any way feel much better during the fast than when they were eating. Under the new method of Water Extracts Fasting the following desirable conditions take place.
1) The anguish of unsatisfied hunger felt during the first days of the water fast is almost entirely mitigated with the water extracts.
2) The uncomfortable and unpleasant state of nervousness felt during the night because of the difficulty of sleeping during the water fast, is not present under the new method, since the use of the alkaline extracts calm the nerves and one sleeps as soundly or even better than before the fast.
3) Except when beginning the fast, it is not necessary to use the enema in the new method of fasting, since, as a role, the high content of organic salts in the water extracts keep the bowels active during the fast, thus doing away with the necessity of using the enema to remove waste products from the colon which otherwise remain therein for many days, poisoning the blood by the absorption of the liquid and gaseous matter emanating there from.
