There are those who think fasting is the same as starvation. Fasting is a cessation from food while we allow our body to support itself on stored reserve within its own tissue. Starvation begins when those stores are used up. So, if you are fasting, you are not starving, and if you are starving, you are not fasting!
Fasting For Excellent Health & Weight Reduction explains how fasting triggers a cleansing process that reaches down to each cell and tissue in the body. Within 24 hours of no food intake, enzymes stop entering the stomach and travel instead into the intestines and into the bloodstream, where they circulate and gobble up all sorts of waste matter, including dead and damaged cells, unwelcome microbes, metabolic wastes, and pollutants. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to successfully and safely fast for better health or weight loss. You will know which medicinal herbs to use during your juice fast for specific imbalances, as well as which juices to use therapeutically. You will learn which conditions prohibit the use of fasting.

including an online portfolio service that manages all your course completions.
