Download or read book The Fasting Cure Classic Reprint written by Upton Sinclair and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fasting Cure is both a fascinating and slightly dangerous book. It was written by Upton Sinclair, a respectable and accomplished journalist, but no doctor. In this case Sinclair seems to have been taken in by his subject matter without using quite enough of his critical faculties. Fasting has been a part of health and religious practices since time immemorial, it can be healthy in moderation and has various well-documented effects on the body. From this perspective Sinclair's book is worthwhile for the hints and tips towards more sensible fasters and also as a historical document of the "fasting fever" which occurred around the time of writing. One thing fasting is not however is a cure for cancer, or for several others of the diseases claimed within. Another problem with this book is the claim that fasts for up to 40 or 50 days are common and healthy, modern medical advice would suggest that this is far too extreme and very dangerous. Rather than a single book this is a collection of articles written by Upton Sinclair on the topic of fasting as well as letters on the topic which he received. His remarks and comments on these are also included and serve to bind the parts together. Readers may be interested in this work from a historical or anthropological point of view especially, but should not follow the instructions without close contact with their physician.

This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fasting for the Cure of Disease Self-conceit, credulity, and skepticism are said to go hand in hand; and candor compels the remark that these graces are not confined to the ignorant or to the uneducated. If a man be a skeptic, he can but mean that certain things do not exist relatively to his own knowledge; but no one can deny the possibility of the existence of that which he cannot har monize with his accepted opinions, or of which he is ignorant. Should he do so, the conclusion holds that he is Just as credulous as the man who believes without discrimination. When an extraordinary fact, a fact be yond its own experience, is presented to a mind vicariously moulded, more often than not it is rejected as impossible or as the result of disordered physical condi tions. In these circumstances even the testimony of the senses is repudiated, and that of credible witnesses is frequently imputed to base motives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Excerpt: "If I could, I would begin this book by telling you what Life is. But unfortunately I do not know what Life is. The only consolation I can find is in the fact that nobody else knows either. We ask the churches, and they tell us that male and female created He them, and put them in the Garden of Eden, and they would have been happy had not Satan tempted them. But then you ask, who made Satan, and the explanation grows vague. You ask, if God made Satan, and knew what Satan was going to do, is it not the same as if God did it himself?..." (The Book of Life) Upton Sinclair (1878–1968) was an American writer who wrote nearly 100 books and other works in several genres. Writing during the Progressive Era, Sinclair describes the world of industrialized America from both the working man's point of view and the industrialist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work presents Dr. Dewey's theories in a clear, concise way, giving the origin of the no-breakfast plan and the theories upon which it is based." -The Publishers' Trade List Annual, Volume 2, August, 1905 "Your boarding house lady is too besotted to reform; work out your own salvation. Omit breakfast or lunch at the table, and eat a small health meal in your room; such as fruit juice or a hot drink, or fresh fruit and whole-wheat crackers, or a good flaked cereal and cream with prunes, figs or berries. Read 'The No-Breakfast Plan' by Dr. E. H. Dewey." -The Independent, Volumes 86-87, April 3, 1916 "I have since found that my greatest service at the beds of the sick is as an interpreter of symptoms rather than a vender of drugs. As my experience enlarged so did my faith in Nature; Most of the cases of disease that fall to the care of the physician are trivial, self-limited, and rapidly recover under even the most crucifying dosages; Nature really winning the victories, the physician carrying off the honors. Feed, feed the sick whether or not, say all the doctors, say all the books, to support strength or to keep life in the body, and yet Nature was absurd enough to ignore all human practice evolved from experience, and in her own way to support vital power while curing the disease." -Edward Hooker Dewey, M.
