Dive Into the Water Cleanse: Nature’s Secret to Flushing Out Illness and Refreshing Your Health

Water fasting is an ultra-powerful way to reverse disease and cleanse your body. In this cleanse, you consume no food calories and only drink water for at least three and up to 14 days. Although it might sound difficult, hunger usually stops by the end of the third day as the body begins to detoxify.

By water fasting, your body can release unwanted stored chemicals, calm an inflamed immune system, and balance your metabolism. Animals do this instinctively when they are sick and know which herbs they need for their cure.

A Brief History of Water Fasting

Water fasting’s incredible benefits for reversing disease were mainly discovered by the late Dr. Herbert Shelton (1928-1981), who supervised more than 25,000 patients in their fasting journey. Some of his patients fasted from 3 to over 60 days.

Thanks to Dr. Shelton’s groundbreaking work, water fasting is accepted as safe and effective by the medical community. It has shown to return astonishing results for reversing anxiety, depression, neurosis, and lowering high blood pressure. It has also proven to help many illnesses in between.

Health Benefits of Water Fasting

If you’re considering water fasting, here are eight crucial health benefits to consider:

Rest and clean up your digestive tract – This is the best time to take probiotics.
Curb unhealthy food addictions – It wakes up your taste buds to natural foods.
Shrink your stomach – It prepares you to consume the normal amount of food, so you don’t have to eat large quantities to feel full.
Clear up skin inflammation – Water fasting can help to clean up acne or other skin-related issues (although skin eruptions may worsen during the detoxification phase and then clear up afterward).
Normalize high blood pressure – Multiple studies have shown water fasting’s effectiveness in lowering blood pressure for those with hypertension.
Partially reverse painful arthritis
Significantly dry up leg edema
Quieten down allergic reactions – Water fasting can help alleviate asthma and seasonal allergies.

Preparing for Water Fasting

To successfully complete a water fast, you’ll need to prepare your body and mind. Setting aside time to rest and be at peace is highly recommended. Spend two days eating only pre-cleanse foods such as raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and fresh juicing (including smoothies). Avoid bread, meat, dairy, cheese, or processed foods.

When you finish the water fast, introduce fresh juices first, then smoothies, followed by solid raw and cooked produce, and finally meats over as many days as you were on your water fast.

Case Studies

Here are two case study examples of patients who went on water fasting:

*Randal, a 45-year-old man, weighed 330 pounds when he began his water fast. He drank water and whey powder (for electrolyte replacement) for 14 days. He reported that his hunger subsided on day three and noticed increased energy levels during the entire water fast. Randal lost 20 pounds and found power over his sugar addiction.

*Philip, a periodontist, suffered from high blood pressure, a hiatal hernia, lung congestion, difficulty breathing, dry mouth, feet and leg swelling, headaches, nasal and sinus congestion, and obesity. He went on a week-long water fast without medication. He lost 23 pounds, normalized his blood pressure (off medications), cleared his nasal passages, resolved his headaches, and resolved his leg and ankle swelling. His breathing returned to normal.

An Alternative to Water Fasting

If you’re not ready to commit to a three-to-14 day cleanse, consider an occasional saltwater flush. It’s an easy, quick, and effective way to cleanse your body. Patients report feeling cleaner, as toxins clinging to the intestinal walls are gone by the time the flush is over.

Conclusion

Choosing to embark on a water fast can lead to immense health benefits such as cleaning your digestive tract, curing unhealthy food addictions, and normalizing high blood pressure. Preparing your body with pre-cleanse foods and slowly reintroducing food post-fast guarantees a successful water fast experience.
