The National Fasting Summit: Bridging the The Gap From Fasting Innovation to Practice

Fasting is the most ancient, inexpensive and powerful healing strategy known to mankind. This healing practice dates back to the beginnings of mankind, when our bodies were forced to adapt to times of famine and food scarcity on a regular basis, but the concept can sound daunting.
