REAL CASES OF PROLONGED FASTING—UP TO 249 DAYS!

Recently 27-year-old Risto Lana, a Swedish philosophy student at the University of Gothenburg, fasted alternately on water and juices for a total of 143 days. No, it wasn’t an anti-Vietnam demonstration; it was just an experiment for his own illumination and benefit. He lost about 60 pounds and claimed improved health, both physically and mentally, as a result of this fast.

There are recorded cases of fasting on water for up to 90 days, and up to 249 days on juices and liquids! In recent tests at the Stobhill General Hospital, in Glasgow, Scotland, a 54-year-old woman was put on a liquid fasting and lost 74 of her 262 pounds, along with a painful arthritic knee condition, during a fast of 249 days. To my knowledge, this is the longest controlled therapeutic fasting in medical history. Usually fasting is of no longer duration than 40 days, and the great majority of fasts in European clinics are only 7,14 or 21 days long.

Naturally, if you are suffering from a serious condition such as cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, or cardio-vascular disorders, you should be at all times under a doctor’s supervision. But otherwise fasting, particularly a juice fasting, can be safely undertaken by anyone. I myself have fasted countless times and have supervised many fasts, and I can testify that fasting not only works, but is indeed one of the safest healing methods there is.
