Today is our Fasting Day 9 and we fast for the third time in the last 13 months<\/a>. We feel good because we believe it is the right way to be healthy. Every time we meet new people we have to explain why we do this fasting. Well, we simply WANT TO LIVE LONG<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Here in San Rafael<\/a> (Argentina) we found new friends – a quite known family in town  named Rigattieri. Father Fernando is interested in spiritual activities, so in his library he found the Spanish edition of the old book “Rational Fasting” by Arnold Ehret. We have already finished reading and learned a lot of interesting things, which we would like to share with you: <\/p>\n

Mucus<\/span> in our body is the cause of all diseases. It takes over our body completly. First it sits in the digestive system, then enters other parts of the body and finally infects our blood, thus making our heart work hard. At some point the heart simply does not have strengths anymore to handle the mucus, which is the moment when a human dies… In the natural way of life, though, we are supposed to enjoy a mentally happy and physically strong life until the very last moment when we finally fall asleep.<\/p>\n

How do we get this mucus? Well, mainly by consuming wrong food. Reading his explanations I remembered how sometimes my mom was boiling red meat and later kept pot to cool down. Very often I saw pieces of jelly, which forms around boiled meat. Now imagine this jelly gathering in our bodies? We do not think and do not prevent that, and finally we get sick seriously (including cancer). There are many other things we consume that also “donates” mucus to our bodies. For example, vegetables that contain starch (potato, sweet potato, bread, rice, noodles).<\/p>\n

Having mentioned mucus, there is a natural question – how to get rid of it? One of the most effective methods is fasting. During this process the body throws out all the trash, detoxifies the organs and the blood. A fruit diet is also a very good alternative. Arnold Ehret understands that some people simply cannot live without meat. For this reason he provides some advices how to improve protection of your body from mucus. Simply put efforts in chewing your food very well, until a porridge like consistence before you swallow. In this process the saliva already in the mouth decreases the formation of mucus. Though it will not prevent you from putting mucus in your body, it reduces it to a minimal amount.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of interesting thoughts which the author shared in his “Rational Fasting” book. Fortunately, we found this book in English freely available on the Internet, so you are welcome to download it by clicking this link (PDF):<\/p>\n

For those, interested to read more about fasting, there is another book called “The Miracle Of Fasting” written by the classical fasting expert Paul Bragg<\/a>. His books are not freely distributed, but it is possible to download it from alternative sources on the Internet:<\/p>\n

By the way, if you think fasting of 3 or even 4 weeks is something unbelievable, you will probably be surprised to hear that in the world exists people who neither drink, nor consume any food for many years. And they do not die! These kind of people are called Breatharians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That is truly amazing. A couple of weeks ago somebody told us that in Bolivia he met a person who does not drink or eat, which was really hard to believe… But nothing is impossible. Following this topic, you might be interested to check out the free book “Life Style Without Food” written by Polish guy Joachim<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Let’s live long!<\/span><\/p>\n
