Sweden—the promised land of fastingIn Sweden fasting is used not only in the hospitals and clinics by medical practitioners, but also by thousands of health enthusiasts around the country as a positive health measure to improve health and prevent disease. Here are a few headlines from the clippings of Swedish magazines and newspapers lying on my table: "Fast for better spring condition!" "Fast this summer to keep in shape!" "Eleven fasting vikings walk from Gothenburg to Stockholm (300 miles) without food!" "Without food for 143 days!" Every spring and summer several groups of Swedish health enthusiasts and hundreds of individuals fast for one, two or more weeks. This is done not for the cure of any particular pathological condition, but as a kind of spring cleaning to purify their bodies from the toxins and the waste matter accumulated during long winter months of sedentary life and the lack of fresh foods. In addition, many Swedes take a regular Fasting Cure at the various biological clinics in the country under expert supervision. *7\58\2* General Health «Medications Without a Prescription» |
