9Fasting has long been used in Europe both as a preventative measure and as a cure, particularly for degenerative conditions, and to purge the body of impurities or toxins. Knowledgeable in this tradition, Rudolf Breuss, a naturopathic practitioner, developed a 42-day juice fasting program to nourish the body but starve cancer. Although fasting seems irrational when the body is already wasting away, Breuss' patients felt more alert and energetic as soon as they began the treatment. They continued to feel well throughout the fast. Unlike radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, this fast leaves the body strengthened and healthy. Also provided are naturopathic and sometimes unusual treatment suggestions for a wide range of conditions from leukemia to rheumatism, infertility to cramps. Translated from the original German, this book will give hope to many who previously have not had access to Breuss' simple, effective cures.
