"Curing" Disease - A Biological Process Or A Medical Art???
The needs of a sick individual are the same as for those in health. You cannot treat a sick individual with poisonous drugs or other debilitating treatments and expect him to regain health any more than you could expect to administer these drugs to a healthy person and expect him to remain healthy. The sick individual differs in that he needs more rest. His body is in a state of extreme exhaustion and in order to heal, all bodily energies must be directed solely to this task. Therefore, fasting is the most effective means for providing this requirement. During the fast, energy is conserved for this task and healing will immediately commence. Fasting provides, physiological, physical, mental and sensory rest and these alone are necessary for the biological process of healing. There are no other means to "cure" a disease. Curing disease is a biological process not a medical art. The body alone can heal itself only when all of the weakening causes (physical, physiological and mental) are REMOVED and not "combated" with drugs or other injurious substances. Health will never be recovered without the removal of all harmful practices. Removing tumors, cysts, polyps, tonsils, adenoids, appendix etc., or partially cutting out organs, does not remove cause. Body organs do not cause their own inflammation. All modes of life must be corrected in order to regain and maintain health.
