Excellent,concise,well written. Dr Lodi describes the psychological and biological mechanisms of fasting and how it can repair the body through the process of autophagy , the body’s rejuvenation and regeneration at the cellular level with stem cell activation. Fasting allows for “deep cleansing “ which clears accumulated cellular “junk “ linked to all chronic degenerative conditions including cancer. The book also goes through the different phases of fasting and how to implement preparation, hydration, minerals,monitoring, and safe refeeding.It is a medical therapy as a way to restore health through a renewed body, a clearer mind, and a new passion for living.

Real healing book

Therapeutic fasting is a great book, a very practical step-by-step manuel, but yet so profound. You can find there answers to all questions about fasting and well-founded scientific explanation of it's benefits, as well as a detailed and very practical guide to the whole process.  It is amazing how dr Lodi gathered so much knowledge in such a concise manner. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to heal or improve their health, with a deeper understanding of this process, as well as to anyone who seeks to harmonize body, mind and spirit as the ultimate goal.

Informative, practical, and a quick read!

Loved it - gave great logical steps and things to be aware of. It has a lot of scientific studies and evidence to back it up and it took maybe 45 minutes to read! I will be using this when I start my 40 day fast here shortly!
