Tips to Start Fasting

The word 'fasting' can be somewhat scary, intimidating & even overwhelming.  No worries!  You can do it!  Start out slow & easy.  Start with just one day of fasting.  Fast just the one day a month.  Then, as you & your body adjust to this new (to you) way of life, add another day or so.   A fast can be as short as one day or several days.  Don has fasted as many as 40 days on water alone.  You may not choose to fast that long or just on water, but you get the idea.  The important thing is to listen to your own body.

Simple tips to get your started:

1. Try a mono diet - eating just one food; also, Don-recommended as a method to overcome food allergies - you could eat Don's Colon Cleanse Fiber Blend
2. Drink fresh juices - fruit or vegetable, even combinations - vegetables having a lower sugar content
3. Drink green smoothies - full of lovely leafy greens - check out two of our loyal readers' recipes:  Tim's Smoothies or Anthony's Green Smoothie
4. Eat raw whole foods - #5 of Don's 7 Principles of Health: fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables
5. Eat Don's Authentic Pulse - a nature-rich meal of fruit, nuts & grains (back to the raw whole foods concept)
6. Delay your "break-fast" (get it?) by three or four hours
7. Drink hot soup or broth

Just try one day of fasting and see how you feel.  Keep in mind that the first day of any new routine (dare we say "habit"?) is the hardest!  Your body will rebel with much growling...at first.  It will thank you later, though.  If you're up for it, extend your fast another day.  If not, try again in a week or a month.

Once you've tried your first fast, come back & leave us a comment about your experience.  Feel free to comment no matter how experienced/inexperienced you are at fasting.  Someone else may need your words of encouragement.

Be sure to read our articles about fasting as listed below to learn of the many health benefits of fasting.

What is a Farmacist in the 21st Century?

A Farmacist is a modern day sage.  A Farmacist is a person filled with wisdom and knowledge and intuition in the art, science and method of health.  If you want to know about sickness, disease and death, study those things.  To understand life, vitality and health, study those things.  The FDR (Farmacist Desk Reference) is a study of the latter.  A Farmacist understands that ascension and clarity of human knowledge through time comes as an idea, or thesis.  That this thesis is almost always met along the way with an opposing view or idea, its anti-thesis, then what happens is that over time, the best parts of each (thesis and antithesis) tend to join together or combine into something new: a syn-thesis.  In all of this the synthesis becomes the new thesis.  Then it starts all over again.

It's time, not just for a synthesis of alchemy and chemistry, but it's time for an anti-thesis!  We need to stop raging against disease!  The new antithesis is the idea of embracing the principles of life and of health in the brilliant complexities of nature, disguised for us and presented to us as "simplicities".

May the FDR lead you gently into a bloodless, non-violent revolution of thought, deed, passion and magnified health.  May you stand as a twenty-first century Farmacist, a peaceful but firm iconoclast to "disease fighting".  May you be proud to proclaim yourself a twenty-first century Farmacist.  Not a wizard of popular drugs, nutritional chemicals and supplements, but rather a sage of the experience of whole foods and the principles of health.
