For your first fast and for the purpose of healing disease we recommend a juice fast over a water fast. Fasting on water has become a near impossible exercise for a body that has been nurtured on poisons.

Cells are like tiny sponges, they absorb what you breathe, eat, drink and apply to skin. As a result of man-made chemicals and processed foods the body's natural ability to fast has been compromised. Water fasting becomes a hellish experience. Juice fasting has a greater ability to encourage healing, compared to fasting on water. Juice fasting cleanses the body while supplying a dramatic increase in vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

The juice of fruits and vegetables is filled with healing, cleansing properties which allow the body to gently and safely detoxify. Juice fasting has become an effective stepping-stone to water fasting.
Benefits of Juice Fasting Look out cancer cells, toxins, built-up chemicals, excess body fat, transformed fatty acids, impacted mucus in the bowel, sickness and disease, here comes the juice!

Radiating with God-given power, ruthlessly attaching itself to anything harmful in the body, giving it the heave ho. A living fuel that takes no digestive energies from the body, allowing the body's entire focus to be on healing and rejuvenation. Packed with vitamins, minerals, living enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals, yet low enough in calories to force the body to cannibalize on its filthy waste, propelling you to vigorous physical health and clarity of mind. Sure, there will be periods of toxic crisis, but once you learn not to fear them, they can bring an exciting anticipation that your body is going through a deep cleansing that we call The Babylonian Bends.

Toxins out

1. Eliminate life-robbing food that hinders the body's God-given recuperative abilities.

Nutrients in

1. Ingest nutrients that energize the body's natural regenerative abilities.

For most health conditions, juice fasting is the best method to transform health. Through juice fasting, thousands of individuals have been freed from serious diseases such as cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, alcoholism and smoking.

This system of removing waste and supplying a full spectrum of nutrients has an advantage over any weight-loss program.

How long should I fast?
The Lord will lead you. Do not be afraid if you are taken on a fast
involving 20, 30 or even 40 days. Longer juice fasts enable the body to cleanse toxins that have been accumulating in your cellular tissues from birth. The length of juice fasting can range anywhere from three to forty days. Thirty days is the standard therapy used by health sanitariums in Europe.

The amount of juice you drink will determine the intensity of cleansing. Drinking small amounts of juice supplies fewer calories, thereby increasing detoxification. The more intense the cleansing, the greater the discomfort. Juice fasting allows you to have control over the process of elimination. However, when the body enters a cleansing crisis due to toxins in the blood, no amount of juice will eliminate the discomfort. You must wait it out. Juice fasting can include fresh juice, herbal teas, sweetened with honey or Sucanat, vegetable broth, Barley Green, wheatgrass juice, and supplements helpful to your specific condition.

Modified Juice Fasting
You may consider modifying the fast by including quarter slices of avocado or banana to slow the cleansing process. Modified juice fasting is good for those with health restrictions such as diabetes or hypoglycemia. Bananas and avocados are slow to digest and maintain
a stable blood sugar level. Their high calorie content slows the intensity of the fast and, because they are easy to digest, the body still devotes energy to cleansing.

The natural healing ability of juices reinforces the compassion that God has for supplying our physical needs.
