18. FASTING !
 Studies on tens of thousands of patients suggest that
fasting (and drinking only water) help eliminate a
variety of diseases, and to maintain health afterwards
(as long as the patient followed Natural Hygiene).
 21st century studies show that fasting helps eliminate
hypertension. Natural Hygienist doctors such as Joel
Fuhrman continue to use this method.
 Improvement in insulin and blood sugar control,
neuronal resistance to injury, and general health
indicators.
 Alternate-day calorie restriction may prolong
lifespan and attenuate diseases associated with
inflammation, oxidative stress and aging.
