Читать книгу Fasting: The only introduction you’ll ever need - Leon Chaitow N.D. D.O. - Страница 5

The evidence offered in this book about the possible value of therapeutic fasting should be understood to be provided for information only, and not as a recommendation in any particular case for the use of fasting as a therapeutic intervention.

If any fast is undertaken for longer than 48 hours it is strongly suggested that a suitably qualified, competent and experienced health care professional (see Resources section) should be consulted for advice and to ensure that supervision is available.

Fasting is to be actively discouraged outside of a residential setting for anyone with an eating disorder (such as anorexia and bulimia) or who suffers from any form of mental disease which requires medication to control it. Fasting is particularly contraindicated for anyone who does not fully understand and agree with its application.

The author and publishers specifically caution against lengthy fasting (anything longer than two days) without expert supervision.
