Animals have used fasting for many years to heal themselves. If you are looking for a way to heal yourself naturally, then fasting is the answer. Mainly, because the body isn’t wasting precious time or energy on digesting food, instead it is putting all of it’s energy into healing itself.

However, times they are a changing, for now there are hundreds of natural health practitioners that help their patients overcome tremendous health conditions through fasting. It has been stated that one doctor in particular in the early 1900’s helped his patients overcome eliminated tumors, cancer, anemia and more through fasting.

Although, fasting can help you overcome an illness, but can it really cleanse your colon? The results depend upon the length and type of fast, you engage in. For example, if you simply fast for a few days, then you may probably won’t see much additional waste from the colon. Now, if you take part in a seven to twenty day fast that consists of water and green juices only, such as, celery, spinach and cucumber, then you are more likely to see results.

Research has shown that many individuals that have fasted for thirty days or longer, has seen a massive amount of mucoid plaque being released. It was stated by one individual that once the fast was completed, the body released almost a meter, which measures out to be three feet, of a dark rubbery plaque that lines the intestinal walls. The thirty day fast is ideal for someone in need of a colon cleansing. The herbs used helps soften and release the plaque, without the herbs, the plaque would still be lining the intestines.

Starting with a seven day fast consisting of green juices is a good way to go, but follow it up with a good herbal colon cleansing. One might consider a gentler method, and this consists of an herbal colon cleanse combined with a raw food diet, mixed with limited fasting. This should produce results, but, before fasting or taking any kind of herbal supplement, be sure to check with your physician first.
