Body detoxification is needed more than ever.  Today, we consume more toxic substances than all generations before us. Levels of built-up lead in our bones can be 200 times greater compared to those excavated from the period of Christ. Through air, water, food and even mother's milk, there is absorption of thousands of toxins and chemicals that saturate the environment. During fasting for body detoxification, these toxins are released into the bloodstream making water fasting almost impossible for the first-time faster to detoxify their body. Juice fasting is a safer method to detoxify the body and can be used as a launching pad for deeper, water fasting.

The body starts to detoxify quickly. Even a few hours without food can cause headaches and discomfort. The tongue turns yellow, breath becomes foul, weakness and dizziness set in, confirming what you already suspectedfasting is undesirable, even dangerous! In talking to people about fasting, I have discovered that most people have tried to fast, at least for a day. The consequences are usually described as "bad." Some are so afraid of such negative initial reactions that they fear missing even one meal, not realizing that this reaction is the body stating its need to fast. A need to detoxify years of bad eating which will result in cleaner skin, vibrant energy and weight-loss, to mention only a few.
