"PHD, TUCSON, ARIZONA Hosted by Gabriel and Shanti Gold-Cousens, longtime experienced juice fasters, this retreat applies spiritual juice fasting to unblock the divine source of youth, vitality, and transformation. On the Spiritual Fasting Retreat, we release our resistance to healing, and open the body and mind to awakening to the Truth of who we are.

"Paavo Airola declared fasting on juices to be superior for many reasons in his book How to Keep Slim, Healthy and Young with juice fasting. For one thing, he maintained that the juice nutrients are easily absorbed directly into the bloodstream without putting a strain on the digestive system. Thus the healing and rejuvenating process of autolysis, or self-digestion, is provided freed-up energy due to the efficiency of absorption. He claimed that taking in the juice nutrients speeds up the healing and recovery." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Natural Hygiene teachers consider juice fasting to be a misnomer that should be correctly termed juice dieting. For elimination of toxins and healing, Dr. Vetrano explains the superiority of fasting on water only compared to juice dieting: Since the body has to cleanse itself [during a fast], the less interference it has, the better. That is, the less juice, the better. The body does not need to waste its precious nerve energy and stored reserves to handle quarts of juice every day." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Paavo Airola explained why fasting is the "number one healer and reju-venator" (How to Keep Slim, Healthy and Young with juice fasting, pp. 20-21). The body lives on its own substances by the process of autolysis, or self-digestion. The body breaks down and eliminates cells and tissues that are diseased or damaged, such as tumors, abscesses and fat deposits. Some of the protein of decomposed cells is recycled through what physiologists call the amino acid pool. The building of new, healthy cells is actually accelerated while on raw juices." - Susan E.

"Finally, fasting, including juice fasting, is also a way of helping the colon to detoxify. Flor-Essence is not a drug and therefore is not a cancer "cure." Most people use Flor-Essence for prevention or to augment their doctor's prescribed cancer therapy. In this way, they utilize integrative medicine to gain the best of both worlds—allopathic and alternative. In particular, Flor-Essence is excellent for maintaining immune function and emotional well-being before and after chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. Yet, we think its greatest value is to prevent or delay colon cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"My clinical results with the use of live foods and green juice fasting leave no doubt that we can rapidly and safely take people off insulin and oral hypoglycemics with very rapid returns to a healthy FBS. The key question that remains is the sustainability of living in the diet and lifestyle of the Culture of Life and not be swallowed again by the shadow of the Culture of Death, which is the predominant culture in the world today. It is this shadow of the Culture of Death in which diabetes is a pandemic symptom and our primary challenge here." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"He did not quite understand the problems with hybrid, over-sugary, foods (foods were not as hybridized in his day as they are now), but he did understand the power of juice fasting. He understood the detoxification power of chlorophyll foods and natural sugar foods with no fatty foods included. If you are doing an extended juice fast (15 days +), you may want to include small portions of cold-pressed olive, hemp or flax oil in with your drinks to provide the body with necessary fat to maintain some equilibrium.

"With juice fasting, it is easier to transition back to food. A raw or cooked low-starch vegetable, such as spinach or other greens, is quite appropriate. A little sauerkraut also helps to stimulate the digestive function.

It is a powerful way to remove toxins. Airola recommends one or two juice fasts before conception. I recommend two one-week juice fasts in the year before conception. I often refer people to my spiritual fasting retreats at the Tree of Life, where they are able to learn many of the lifestyle skills and practices that I recommend." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Conscious Eating (Get the book.)

Cleansing is more important as an overall lifestyle and dietary transition. However, just the simplification of our diet will have some detoxifying effects in our body. Anyone eating 4,000 calories daily of fatty, sweet foods in a poorly balanced diet who begins to eat 2,000 to 2,500 calories daily of more wholesome foods will definitely experience detoxification, weight loss, and improved health simultaneously." - Elson M.

Don't deprive yourself. It's better to eat something without guilt than not eat something and feel bad about it. From best to worst, it looks like this: You are offered a piece of chocolate cake. You look at it and decide that you're full and wouldn't really enjoy it, so it does not look that appealing to you. You politely say "no thanks" and feel great about your choice. You feel no depravation. This is ideal." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)
