Notwithstanding the fact that liquid or juice fasting is not dangerous and could be safely undertaken without supervision at home, I would advise the average person, who does not have a borough understanding of all the phases and details of fasting, to ve his fast supervised by an experienced practitioner. This will ure him peace of mind and confidence in the treatment, which are imperative for the successful outcome of any therapeutic measures.
In Sweden, of course, fasting is a national sport. Thousands of Swedes, young and old, men and women, especially the members of the Swedish health organization Halsoframjandet (Health Promotion) fast for a week or two almost every year. These short fasts are considered to be an effective way to cleanse the body of wastes, build up resistance and physical stamina, and prevent illness. Contrary to the popular notion, you are not weakened or depleted by fasting—the opposite is true. The objective which induces thousands of Swedes to fast is the total regeneration and rejuvenation of all the functions of the body. These fasts in Sweden are done by individuals in their own homes, and without the supervision of doctors, although many who suffer from various ailments do travel to biological clinics where their fasting is performed under expert supervision.
