Health Through New Thought and Fasting [Paperback]

Wallace D. Wattles (Author), Elizabeth Towne (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 5, 2004

Formerly titled The New Science of Living and Healing, Health Through New Thought and Fasting contends that it takes a great deal of argument to make the average man and woman understand that strength is renewed in sleep and that they grow weaker, not stronger by eating. He believes it is the brain that needs to be recharged and that the reader would do well to find out the smallest quantity of food upon which they can live and work without losing weight and live on it.

This book is remarkable. I look at food and the way I eat differently. I also do all I can to stay aware of how my body regenerates itself while I sleep. The explanations are clearly explained and this book is easily read in a day. If you have diet issues I urge you to read this book.

This review is from: Health Through New Thought and Fasting (Paperback)

I have read many books on diet and fasting, and do fast regularly. This book touches on the liitle known fact that fasting is a PRESCRIPTION for physical (not just spiritual) health. The body was designed to thrive on clean air, clean water, and a minimal amount of pure whole food (in that order). Just think about how long you can go without air (seconds, maybe minutes), before the body goes into a panic? Now think about water... (several days)? And food...? The body can live at least a month without solid food, and even longer on liquid food (raw juices and such). Wattles explains, in a somewhat scientific way, that fasting is not only desired for health , but required. It is required to recover quickly from illnesses and to maximize your lifespan. Not many books on the market will approach this subject as he has, and this book is a gem for my library.
