NOELLE - The Value of Fasting - Bill 's Newsletter

[Guest guest]

Hi Noelle

I do not know if you subscribe to Bill s Newletter, if not here is a

small extract from his most recent letter. I do believe that fasting is very

cheap and very economical to the pocket and to the health.

Only problem I can talk about (I am on the fast myself) are the intense bad

moods and of course the terrible weakness I have felt. They were so bad

yesterday that standing was impossible. So today I took a vitamen supplement

and wow my energy is back.

I am hoping this fast which is an extreme fast will eat two hot spots (not

sure if it is cancer or just inflamation) my next mamogram will tell this to me

in March.

Why I am on this extreme diet - one reason - I live on a island and nearly all

the Breuss tea ingrediants are not available here.

So When in dire straights we make a plan and adapt it to our needs and our

pockets. Hope this helps, it has helped me.

warmest regards Odette xxxxxxx

Chamberlain on " Fasting "

[author of an e-book " Fighting Cancer - A Survival Guide. " ]

" ... In this article I am going to look at the benefits of dietary reduction for

the cancer patient. I am not talking about only eating one portion per meal - I

am talking about reducing food intake to an absolute minimum. Fasting is one

therapy that anyone with cancer should seriously consider. The theory is simple.

When the body is unable to get its energy from food it looks around for other

sources of energy. The body's fat reserves are the easiest. But then, when they

are gone, the body has to make some hard decisions. It will now have to start

feeding on itself. Naturally it will seek to attack the least essential bits

first. This is when it really notices any cancer tumours hanging around. It will

tend to eat the tumour before it starts attacking more useful parts such as the

muscles. The

masterwork on fasting is Herbert Shelton's 'The Science and Fine Art of

Fasting' which was first published in 1934. In a foreword to this edition,

Shelton describes the case of Henry Tanner M.D., who, in 1877, felt he could no

longer cope with the pains and illnesses that were plaguing him. It was an

accepted fact at that time that to go without food for ten days was a certain

way to shuffle off the mortal coil. So Tanner, preferring to ease his way into

the next world, rather than to commit an act of violence against his person,

took to his bed and refused all food. Far from dying, he found that, by the 42nd

day he had recovered. When he announced this to his colleagues, he was denounced

as a fraud. To prove he was not a fraud, he undertook another forty-two day fast

under the supervision of the United States Medical College of New York. Despite

this clear demonstration his colleagues refused to have anything more to do with

him. When the first edition of my book 'Fighting

Cancer: A Survival Guide' (www.fightingcancer.com) came out, I showed a copy to

the father of an old friend of mine, who was a medical doctor. I mentally

prepared myself for a dismissive comment. I was surprised however when, on

opening the book at random, he found this section on fasting and after reading

it he nodded his approval. He then told me a story. He was at that time a

Russian medical student at Hong Kong University when the Japanese invaded in

1941. He, along with most other Europeans, was interned in a camp where living

conditions were hard and food was in very short supply. One of the people

interned with him was a man he knew had an aggressive testicular cancer that had

already been treated with radiation but which had returned. He knew the man had

only weeks to live. Surprisingly, three years and eight months later, the man

was still alive. Indeed he was alive ten years after the war. He had been

completely cured of his cancer, without any medical treatment

whatsoever, simply by following the normal camp dietary regime: small amounts

of rice and boiled cabbage. This is a story that everyone diagnosed with

cancer deserves to know. And yet, how many of you will act on it in the face of

informed medical advice that it is important to eat to keep up one's strength to

fight the cancer? To follow such a regime requires strength of mind and a

conviction that this is the way to go. Isn't it much easier just to do what the

doctor tells you to do? ---- Chamberlain "

Fighting Cancer: A Survival Guide is available as an e-book from

www.fightingcancer.com US$15.95 The " strength of mind " talks about is

the principal reason people recover from cancer, regardless of the regimen they

choose. In my experience, without this total commitment, nothing works. If you

want to try the fasting, please consult with your favorite physician before you

start. Certainly, as a healing regimen, you can't beat the price!
