What are Some Fasting Health Victories?
Allergies
There are many symptoms that appear in people that are the result of allergies and food sensitivities. Modern science often mistakes allergic symptoms for diseases of themselves. Deal with the allergic response process and these diseases vanish.
Some of these allergy symptoms are seen in stomach problems.
We spend our time treating things like gluten intolerance when that is not the problem. It is an allergic reaction. Others include things like gas, Crohn’s disease, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, heartburn, irritable bowel syndrome, and indigestion. This is not to say that every form of these problems are allergy related, but it would surprise most people how many, maybe the majority, of them are.
Some immunological problems
may merely be symptoms of allergies. Some of them may sinus problems, auto-immune problems, frequent colds and flus, ear congestion, psoriasis, acne, eczema, etc.
Fasting is well know for eliminating allergies, all kinds allergies. When the body is clean, it returns to balance. And the allergic reaction processes reverts to normality.
Some nervous conditions
can actually be an allergic reaction an allergic condition. The list includes joint pain, delayed speech development, arthritis, joint stiffness, ADD, ADHD, fibromyalgia, headaches, autism, asperger’s syndrome, etc.
When you deal with underlying allergy problem, often these symptoms that modern medicine looks at as diseases of themselves go away. That is by indirectly attacking these symptomatic problems.
Fasting is well know for eliminating allergies, all kinds allergies. This has been documented over the centuries. Many people who for other reason fast for the first time are pleasantly surprised to find that their known allergies disappear.
Do have cat allergies, food allergies, seasonal allergies, etc.? Many claim that fasting worked for them. Fasting may help you. When the body is all washed out and clean, it returns to balance. And the allergic reaction processes reverts to normality. How the body reacts when a food is interpreted as a foreign harmful substance changes.
While fasting may not bring instant relief at a critical time in a problem, it may be a long term solution.
Cancer
This is a biggy. I am not giving medical advice or diagnosis. That being said, there are legions of reports of cancers disappearing in relation to fasting.
It seems that, when the fasting process turns on, the body begins to cannibalize the abnormal cells first.
There is a tearing down of the bad so the good can be rebuilt. The water washes it away.
Here is a story that I am personally aware of. I went to seminary with the grandson of an old preacher, Bro. Smith. In the 1940’s he was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. The doctors told him that they were going to cut out half of his stomach. After they would have done this, they predicted that he would only live for one year. He was assured that if he did not have this done he would live for only six months.
Bro. Smith told the doctors that he would just take the six months.
He then prepared himself for the coming “doom” in a different way than most would of. He decided to go out preaching.
He called all of his preacher friends and started setting up gospel meetings, revivals. He told his friends that he was dying, and he would set up the appointment with the understanding that he might not be able to make it.
As he readied for the revivals, he fasted and prayed for success. When he could not continue the fast any more [he had reached the second hunger which is talked about elsewhere], he finally eased back into eating. After the long, long fast, he did feel different. He did radically modify his diet for the rest of his life. He did gospel meetings for that next year.
In a year he went back to the doctor and was pronounced cancer free. The doctor was scratching his head. When he told the doctor about fasting, the doctor remarked that he had heard about that before, but he had never seen it happen. [I think probably because who is doing it.]
Bro. Smith died several decades later of old age. He was cancer free. He swore that the answer had been the fasting.
Can anyone say that fasting will cure your individual cancer? No, no more than a doctor can tell you that you only have six months. But there are thousands of examples of people having results like Bro. Smith, down through the centuries. Fasting can not be simply discounted out of hand in cases of cancer.
If you have been given the death sentence by doctors, fasting is something to consider.
