How to Keep Slim, Healthy and Young With Juice Fasting

One other thing is very obvious from reading the few negative reviews of this book - in every case, these are people who did not have either the desire or the will to put it to the test. It is much easier to criticize something you know nothing about. Common sense should tell us that drugs and surgery are not the answer to problems created by a modern lifestyle which has brought upon us many "civilized" diseases - cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, mental disorders, schizophrenia - to name just a few. There are few books that literally have the power to save a person's life, but, this is truly one of them.

I just finished a 10 day fast, with 4 day recovery strictly following Dr. Airola's program. I am a mother of 2 teenagers and just graduated from college as a re-entry student after 20 years away. My health had deteriorated due to time demands and unhealthful eating. On this fast I have not only lost 16 pounds, my skin has cleared up, my energy level is higher, I am walking 5-6 miles a day and my flexibility is better than when I was 20! My entire family is drinking fresh juice everyday and benefitting from a mom who has recovered her health after 7 years as a student!!! Dr. Airola gives simple and complete information for a very successful fasting experience.


A must read for anyone embarking on a healthy lifestyle.   March 30, 1999

I first read this book in January 1999. After reading it, I began a 14 day juice fast and lost quite a bit of weight. During the month of February and March I did a series of shorter fasts (5 days and 4 days). I finally got rid of 20+ pounds. I have found that fasting as a lifestyle gets easier with each fast. With this book, I am in control of my body's health. I have read other books on fasting, but this one is the best!


This book is the most worn-looking on my book shelf.   April 8, 1999

I bought my first copy of this fabulous book 20 years ago. Since then I have purchased dozens for friends and shared mine with many people. As a RN, I was very skeptical about the saftey of fasting and bought the first copy to be able to discredit the information with my medical knowledge. I became intreged and tried my first fast, knowing the author was wrong and that by the second day I would collapse to the floor with weakness. Instead, it was the first of many fasts, each making me feel fantastic, ultra energetic and just happy & healthy. There really are no words to describe that "whole" feeling.
