MODERN EXCESS
In the past, many health problems were associated with nutritional deficiencies. We believe that today, a majority of health problems are associated with dietary excess in general, and excesses of animal fat and animal protein in particular, as well as the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and refined food products.
POSITIVE CHANGE
Adopting a health promoting diet and lifestyle may reduce the need for some traditional medical treatments. Many people have great difficulty making these diet and lifestyle changes and find themselves caught in a "pleasure trap".
We have found that a properly conducted fast can help some people to more efficiently make these desirable changes and escape the "pleasure trap".
Changes that might take months or years to accomplish may take place more rapidly when a fast is utilized. Participants in our program have experienced the normalization of body weight, blood pressure, and circulation. In addition, their doctors have noted that elevations in blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, liver enzymes, and inflammation markers are often rapidly corrected.
