Important insert from Bragg Miracle of Fasting Book - Copy and share with friends.With Love,Dear Health Friend,
This gentle reminder explains the great benefits from The Miracle of Fasting that
you will enjoy when starting on your weekly 24 hour Bragg Fasting Program for
Super Health! It’s a precious time of body-mind-soul cleansing and renewal.
On fast days I drink 8 to 10 glasses of distilled (our favorite) or purified water,
(I add 1-2 tsps Bragg Organic Vinegar to 3 of them). If just starting, you may also
try herbal teas or try diluted fresh juices with 3 distilled water. Every day, even some
fast days, add 1 Tbsp of psyllium husk powder to liquids once daily. It’s an extra cleanser
and helps normalize weight, cholesterol and blood pressure and helps promote healthy
elimination. Fasting is the oldest, most effective healing method known to man. Fasting
offers great, miraculous blessings from Mother Nature and our Creator. It begins the self-
cleansing of the inner-body workings so we can promote our own self-healing.
My father and I wrote this book The Miracle of Fasting to share with you the
health miracles it can perform in your life. It’s all so worthwhile to do and it’s an
important part of The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle.
Paul Bragg’s work on fasting and water is one of the great contributions to The
Healing Wisdom and The Natural Health Movement in the world today.- Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Author of Conscious Eating & Spiritual Nutrition
