Shelton did not know how to properly water fast, despite Shelton's being the
most prolific writer on water fasting and the most famous person in the
world, ever associated with the subject of water fasting. Bernarr wrote that
Shelton had Parkinson's Disease for over 25 years with Parkinson's Disease=
which progressively crippled him and prematurely killed him. Shelton water
fasted several times during his Parkinson's Disease but could not arrest nor
reverse his Parkinsonian symptoms. Gary wrote "I must simply say that it
seems rather strange to say that Shelton didn't know how to fast."
Shelton, like all fasting practitioners in the past and like all fasting
practitioners in the present, made and make the same mistake with fasting.
They employ fasting as a therapy, treatment and "cure" to help heal the body
I have never met, read or heard about any "civilized" people who know how to
properly water fast. A water fast is a physiological rest.=20
None of the so-called supervised fasting practitioners know how to properly
fast. None of these so-called fasting practitioners, employ water fasting as
a physiological rest, i.e., constantly remain in bed, eyes continually=20
closed, with no talking, feelingly meditating on their symptoms, when they
fast themselves, nor do they insist on such with their patients.
Shelton and all other fasting practitioners do not employ fasting like
animals and babies inherently do, physiologically rest, when they are ill.
Shelton when he water fasted, especially when he had his Parkinson's Disease
instead of remaining in bed, eyes closed, mouth shut, i.e., physiologically
resting, engaged in enervating activities, which prevented his helping heal
his Parkinson's Disease.
Because Shelton's Parkinsonian symptoms exacerbated during his incorrect
style of water fasting, Dr. Virginia V. Vetrano, Shelton's associate, wrote
that she and Shelton contend that water fasting is contraindicated, when you
have neurological degenerative diseases like Parkinson's Disease. I
subsequently taught Vetrano and other fasting practitioners, that water
fasting properly employed, eyes closed, with "feeling meditation", a la Dr.
Bernarr, helps heal Parkinson's Disease.
                                               THERE ARE NO "CURES"
                                                By Dr. Bernarr, D.C., D.D.
There are no "cures". Disease is not something that should be "cured" or
that
can be "cured". Disease is a disturbance of life. Disease is, not at
ease. If
"cure" means to get well or to recover health, then disease is the
process of
"cure". Disease is always constructive and is always a remedy. Diseases are
instituted by the inherent intelligence, the God within, and are conducted
for the purpose of cleansing, repair and restoration of body balance or
homeostasis (the uniform balance the body maintains). Disease is always an
inherent bodily created crisis due to an enervation (fatigue from loss of
nerve energy and vitality) caused toxemia (toxic accumulation). Disease is
inherently and defensively built into the genes, chromosomes and DNA of
every
cell of the living being.
All "cures"have two things in common-they do not remove causes, and they do
not constitute normal needs of health and life.
No substance foreign to the body can "cure" the body. Something that makes a
healthy person sick, cannot make a sick person healthy. Only substances and
practices that promote health can enable the return of health.=20
You "cure" ham, not living beings.
Many mistakenly believe that certain therapies or treatments can perform
specific actions upon the body to effect a "cure". The idea is that some
extra-vital agent or influence can, of its own power, restore health to a
sick living being. Whether they be in the form of drugs, medicines, sera,
vaccinations, surgery, radiation, transplants, implants, ultrasound,
exercise, yoga, tai chi chuan, tibetan rites, manipulation, massage,
reflexology, reiki, rolfing, acupressure, shiatsu, naturopathy, chiropractic
osteopathy, acupuncture, moxibustion, mineral baths, mud baths, homeopathy,
chelation, crystals, channeling, psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychic healing,
psychic, medium, clairvoyance, alchemy, telepathy, witchcraft, voodoo, past
life healing, immune system, biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation, guided
imagery, relaxation therapy, color healing, light therapy, hydrotherapy
(water), rebirthing, aromatherapy, breatharianism, breath therapy, ozone,
ayurveda, oriental medicine, feng shui, colonics, enemas, flushes, blood
transfusions, intravenous solutions, tube feedings, tourniquet, anti-rabies
injections, snake bite anti venom, poison antidote, heimlich maneuver, cpr
(cardio pulmonary resuscitation), mouth to mouth resuscitation, water
fasting, herbs, foods, juices, juice fasts, wheatgrass juice, rejuvelac,
macrobiotics, urine therapy, vitamins, minerals, supplements and/or enzymes,
there are no "cures".
In logic, "non sequitur" and "ergo propter hoc", mean because a subsequent
event follows some previous event, that does not prove that the previous
event caused the subsequent event. Because someone recovers after
receiving a
particular treatment, that does not prove that the particular treatment
caused the subsequent recovery. It may have been purely coincidental. Unless
you conduct a scientifically controlled, double blind and/or clinical
experiment to prove the efficacy of some modality to help restore someone to
better health, then all you have, is an anecdotal testimonial.
Instead the homeostatic inherent intelligence, the God within, heals itself.
Health care is self care. Therapies or treatments, have no power to act upon
the living body-the body acts upon the therapy or treatment. The body is
active and therapies and treatments are passive. Therapies and
treatments are
inert. Therapies and treatments effect the living body only because the body
is forced to react to therapies and treatments to which it is exposed.
Nothing outside the living body can heal. All healing comes from the God
within.

FASTING-HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY TO HELP HEAL YOURSELF WITH OPTIMUM RESULTS

HOW TO FAST
Fast only when you are symptomatic, i.e., when you have symptoms.
Eat only when you are genuinely hungry, i.e., when you are salivating for
food.
During your fast, drink only as much water as your thirst demands, not more
water and not less water, no juices, no vitamins, no supplements and no
drugs, i.e., learn to listen to and obey only your inherent intelligence,
your God within, which is always talking to you.

EVERY PATHOLOGY PRODUCES A CONCOMITANT SYMPTOMATOLOGY
I discovered that every pathology and physiological dysfunction produces a
concomitant symptomatology in all human beings. Nobody else, other than I,
has ever had previously the insight to write about this inherent
self-healing
mechanism.
This means, that your inherent intelligence, your God within, is always
talking to you. =A0If you listen to it and obey it, you will always have
good
health. So whenever you are ill, your inherent intelligence produces
symptoms
upon which you should concentrate, meditate on, pay attention to and feel,
until you are asymptomatic, i.e., until your symptoms completely and
permanently disappear. If and when you will do this, your illness and the
cause of your illness, will always help heal completely and permanently.

A WATER FAST IS PHYSIOLOGICAL REST
A water fast is a physiological rest and therefore to conserve vital energy
and optimumly help heal yourself, you should always do a water fast lying
down, with your eyes constantly closed, no talking, and only sleeping and/or
feelingly meditating on your symptoms until you are asymptomatic, i.e.,
until
you no longer have any symptoms.

IF YOU GET BORED DURING YOUR FAST, YOU CAN LISTEN TO A RADIO
If you get bored during your water fast, you can listen to a television,
radio, tape recorder, cassette recorder, phonograph records, etc., but you
must always be lying down and keeping your eyes constantly closed.

NEVER TAKE ENEMAS NOR COLONICS
Never take enemas and colonics. You eat only with your mouth with which your
taste buds and enzymes can help you optimumly and self-defensively properly
metabolize your food. There are no taste buds and enzymes in your rectum or
any other orifice or on your skin.

HOW TO BREAK YOUR FAST
Always break your water fast only when you are asymptomatic, i.e., when you
no longer have any symptoms or when you are genuinely hungry, i.e., when you
are salivating for food.
