Fasting can be used for nearly every chronic condition, including allergies, anxiety, arthritis, asthma,
depression, diabetes, headaches, heart disease, high cholesterol, low blood sugar, digestive disorders, mental
illness, and obesity. Fasting is an effective and safe weight loss method. It is frequently prescribed as a
detoxification treatment for those with conditions that may be influenced by environmental factors, such as
cancer and multiple chemical sensitivity. Fasting has been used successfully to help treat people who have
been exposed to high levels of toxic materials due to accident or occupation. Fasting is thought to be
beneficial as a preventative measure to increase overall health, vitality, and resistance to disease. Fasting is
also used as a method of mental and spiritual rejuvenation.
