Fast & Grow Young (Vol 4 in the Ageless Living series) is Herbert Shelton's classic, Hygienic System Vol III, re-issued for the 21st century.

It offers 470 pages of insight, research, case studies, and anecdotes about the remarkable effect fasting has on the human body.

Nature’s FIRST Cure!

Shelton's work underscores the Ageless Living™ philosophy that "the universe is perfect, nature is foolproof and the body is coded to heal."

The concept is simple: allow the body time to rest from the energy-consuming process of digestion and assimilation and divert all its energy toward healing. This is the simplicity of natural cure, and Shelton's research shows the amazing extent to which this is so. There is perhaps no greater, no simpler, no more thorough and no more easily accessible cure than fasting. It is nature's first cure--animals are known to fast when ill.

Counterintuitive

Much of what you'll discover will appear almost counter-intuitive. We've been led to believe that constant eating is the basis of strength, vitality and energy renewal when, in fact, just the opposite is true.

You'll discover evidence that true cure can and has been achieved without all the unnatural, inefficient and often ineffective offerings of our drug-based paradigm. As one noted author commented quite astutely, "Illness is not caused by a deficiency in drugs," therefore, drugs cannot be the answer to health."

You'll discover, as thousands of others have, that nature has had her cure waiting for you to have the courage and discipline to take advantage of it. You'll discover in great detail how fasting allows the body to engage in the pre-wired, pre-coded processes of:
losing weight, dissolving tumors, eliminating cancer, curing diabetes, mitigating mental illness, fighting epilepsy, curing syphilis, reducing fibroids, improving eyesight, hearing and smell, and reversing the aging process!

Why you need the paperback:
Digital books do not have mass. They do not have the power a physical book has to transmit information via the senses of sight, touch, hearing (the sound of pages turning) and smell. The paperback on your shelf will continue to communicate even after you've read it!

At 470 pages, it stands out on your shelf and serves as a visible reminder of nature's first cure.

"Fast & Grow Young" is not just a title, it's a command and affirmation ("Fast and grow young!") you'll see and hear every time you glance at your shelf!

Good book on Shelton and the great benefits of fasting

January 18, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Good book on Shelton and the great benefits of fasting. From my own experimental research over the last five decades, I don't think the vegan approach is the best for fasting, However, I do think 100% raw is the best for us biologically, but not vegan. While it is important not to abuse or kill animals, we need saturated fat and cholesterol in the building phase (not during detox). I found the best source is fresh organic raw milk, from animals raised with love like pets and not killed. It is not the menace vegans claim, their studies are not on properly produced organic raw milk, but some chemicalized, pasteurized junk from abused animals, not even close to real milk. The China Study is flawed. But I agree, fasting is the natural built-in detox, better than any external product. Also one other thing, Shelton thinks enemas are bad, I think they're essential. I agree with Markus Rothkranz on this. Otherwise, the book is good.

Fasting for your health

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent work on Fasting. Contains numerous references to additional works by doctors in the field circa time of the writing. Needs follow up with more modern references but the best on fasting I have come across so far.

This is VOLUME 3 not 4.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I’m sure it’s a great book. But I just wanted to let everyone know incase there was any confusion or anyone was questioning the Volume of this book in this particular listing. The title says Vol III and then it also says Volume 4 in parenthesis. It is VOLUME III (3).

Straight copy of Herbert Shelton's "Fasting and Sunbathing"--the fasting part. I had expected some editing, and was disappointed on that front as I already had read much of Shelton's book. But, VERY impotant info, so if this publication increases awareness, it is a good thing.
