Product Description
It?s no secret that we live in a world that is becoming increasingly toxic from the air we breath to the food we eat to the negative thoughts we carry inside our minds. Over time, physical and mental toxicity contributes to depleted energy, spiritual apathy, and eventually poor health. In THE FASTING HANDBOOK, raw food pioneer Jeremy Safron presents a variety of detoxifying and healing techniques that support and enhance the cleansing process, ultimately creating renewal and vitality for the body, mind, and spirit. Included are regimens for fasting on substances (such as air, coconut water, and wheatgrass) to fasting from behaviors and things (such as speaking, people, and the media). A holistic approach to food, wellness, and spirituality, THE FASTING HANDBOOK offers lifestyle tools and techniques that provide benefits that can last a lifetime.

 Not what it appears to be... December 12, 2007
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book does hold some important information about the process in and out of fasting and the many ways one can choose to fast, however one could find this information and the included juice/soup recipes on the internet. I was expecting a beautiful book and it is not, at all. It is small, the quality of the paperback is terrible, and it dedicates 1/4 of the book to a form you would have to pay more money to utilize (by sending it in, etc.) If you want to learn about fasting, ask your doctor.
 Another gem from Jeremy Safron! October 1, 2005

Well, when you put it that way, fasting sounds downright elegant, doesn't it? After reading this book, you'll see that there's a whole lot more to it than just, well, starving yourself. Fasting is a gift you give yourself, and it can be spiritually and physically transforming. This book, in true Jeremy Safron style, covers the topic succinctly and beautifully, including absolutely everything you need to know to prepare for and perform a fast in 88 pages (another good stocking stuffer at about 6x8"!).
One of my favorite parts of the book is the Self-Empowerment Questionnaire at the end "designed to track and guage the process of healing," because that's really what fasting is all about - cleaning out the body and quieting the mind. This book covers every kind of fast you can imagine, from speech fasts (no talking) to sweet food fasts as well as traditional juice and water fasts. You'll learn about cleansing practices for all different organs and fasting assistants like pranayama, yoga, sweats, skin brushing, writing, castor packs - the list is too long for this review.
Suffice it to say that this book is all you need to get started on this time-honored cleansing ritual. As soon as I finish writing this review, I'm filling out the questionnaire and sending it in by email for advise on the type of fasting program and other practices that are right for me. And of course, I'll check with my doctor before getting started. Treat yourself: get this book - a true gift - and do the same for your health and well-being.--Melanie Wilson
