When a dear older friend of mine told me his doctor told him that he was "too old to fast", I resolved to endeavor to experience the easiest type of fast I could learn about. Life is short even when it is long and there are many great spiritual and intellectual people such as Upton Sinclair that claim their surprisingly long and productive life was a direct result of fasting of some type or another. It makes sense since probably the most onerous task anybody ever does is digest food.

When you give the body a break, it goes into an automatic "cleansing" mode that is well understood but little discussed in the mainstream media that would rather have people jumping from one useless supplement to another and/or addicted to sugar rushes.

Basically, you just start the day with a cup or two or three of BLACK coffee. It MUST be black. Coffee with sugar and/or cream will just stimulate your appetite too much and you will never make it past noon! I also need to do physical work of some sort. Just sitting still makes fasting impossible for me. When you start to get hungry you take a few sips of mineral water and keep working. What a surprise when I found my hunger had disappeared and it its place was a feeling of being energized young again! Remembering the clarity and energy before I "broke" any fast made me want to carefully try the more traditional types. Better late than never -- if you have never fasted you are really missing out on one of the greater experiences of life!

Unfortunately, if you are on prescription drugs or under a medical doctors care, you may never get to enjoy the experience. Doctors don't make money on people who don't depend on them for expensive treatments. Think of the money you will save! Believe me, you will be surprised.
