Fasting and the amazing healing that comes from it

Fasting has so many health benefits, when done correctly.

Our body was created perfectly, and with that creation, it knows how to heal itself.
My amazing Doctor Miller, has always testified to fasting (with just water) as an amazing way to keep the body healthy. Recently i have been reading allot about how people have cured themselves of Cancer by using a Macrobiotic diet. Well this makes sense, since the food is light and easy to digest the body has time and ability to heal the area's that need healing.
In the Bible God uses fasting as his surgical knife, it is not just a religious reason, it is because it has healing power.
When you think about, your body is constantly working to digest the food we put down the hatch, and since most people overeat on a regular basis, our body is ofter working overtime to break down all that food. But if you take a day to fast (not starve) you give your body a break, and it can focus on dealing with other area's of your body.
Dr. Miller says everyone should fast- 1 day a week, 3 days every 3 months, and 7 days once a year.
I use to fast every Sunday a few years ago, and always felt so amazing the next day. I am planning on returning to this way of life.
There are plenty of fasts on the market these days, lots of Juice fasts, and Toxic cleanses. But some of them have serious side effects, and aren't good for every body type (my friend did that Master cleanse, also known as the Cayenne Pepper Cleanse, and wound up in the hospital, with a hole in his heart) that is some scary stuff!! Recently I bought into a juice fast, and tried it, and was dizzy, lightheaded and nausea on day two, not good!!!
WATER is simply the best way to cleanse our body, because even juice has to be broken down in our digestive system.
I encourage you to try it (one day without food won't kill you, trust me all the food in the world will still be available the next day :)

love and blessings,
Alexandra
