Effective “Fast and Cleanse” is the main factor that
keeps bringing people to The Atsumi Retreat Healing Center in Thailand. They
come to get rid of both physical and emotional toxins piled up in their system
as a result of the modern and stressful lifestyle that most people live,
especially in the cities. We recommend 4 day Fast and Cleanse as the minimum
for our fasting program. We even have guests who dedicate up to 35 days for a
holistic cleanse. However, guests stay up to 10 days on the average, for their
cleanse program.
With respect to the claim in the Balchs’ book,
Prescription for Nutritional Healing, which many have accepted as a modern-day
bible on the topic of natural health and healing, you accomplish different
results with different length fasts:
1. three day fast – this is good when you
intend to eliminate toxins and cleanse the blood
2. five day fast – kick-starts “healing and
rejuvenation of the immune system”
3. ten day fast – averts problems at the
developmental stage and helps to stay healthy. This also helps prevent some degenerative
diseases that have gained huge recognition in our chemically polluted
environments
