“Diet in the hands of an expert is far more effective than drugs. I
speak from a large experience in both systems.”--_“Food and Condition.”
Dr. Yorke Davis, London._
“In many cases of sickness the very best remedy is for the patient to
fast for a meal or two, that the overworked organs of digestion may
have an opportunity to rest.”
“A fruit diet for a few days has often brought great relief to brain
workers.”
“Many times a short period of entire abstinence from food, followed
by simple, moderate eating, has led to recovery through nature’s own
recuperative effort. An abstemious diet for a month or two would
convince many sufferers that the path of self-denial is the path to
health.”
“There are some who would be benefited more by abstinence from food
for a day or two every week than by any amount of treatment or medical
advice. To fast one day a week would be of incalculable benefit to
them.”
