Three types of fasting

During fasting, the body is cleansed of toxins and waste. Fasting is usually divided into three types: absolute; complete; periodic or partial.

Absolute fasting - exclusion of food and water.

Complete fasting– exclusion of food, but drinking water.

Intermittent or partial fasting– partial exclusion of certain foods from the diet.

Absolute fasting is usually not carried out longer than 1 day. It should only be used under medical supervision.

Complete fasting is divided into short (1-3 days), medium duration (7-10 days) and long - 2 weeks or more, but fasting longer than 40 days is not recommended.

Sick animals are known to refuse food. Children may not eat for a long time or instinctively refuse food that is harmful to their body. Cleansing the body by fasting for health purposes was used in ancient times in China, India, Egypt, Greece, etc. Modern medicine has returned to this method of treating and cleansing the body.

Intermittent fasting allows you to cleanse the body of self-poisoning products and thereby cure or prolong its youth. To fully cleanse the body, it is enough to go without food for 24-36 hours once a week, 3 days a month, 1 week every 3 months and 2 weeks every six months. This type of fasting is called intermittent fasting.

Ayurveda and fasting

Ayurveda's views on fasting are interesting. With its help, it is proposed to tune agni - the digestive fire, the natural cycle of which is a necessary condition for health. Its violation is indicated by heartburn, lack of appetite, constipation, excessive or underweight, the presence of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as other frequently occurring ailments. They set up the “digestive fire” on Friday: in the evening they have a light dinner and cleanse the intestines. On Shabbat they abstain from food and drink only water. People with Vata and Pitta types can also drink juices. On Sunday, you can drink a cup of herbal tea: with licorice root for vata, with mint for pitta and kapha. For breakfast, eat light porridge with a little butter; lunch and dinner should be light. It is forbidden to eat anything between main meals, as well as to consume stimulants in the form of coffee, cigarettes and salt, as they can extinguish the flaring agni.

Fasting should begin on the week of the new moon or full moon. Medical astrology advises to more accurately determine the day when fasting begins - it is the day following the day of the week on which you were born. What is the miraculous effect of hunger on the body? After stopping the supply of “fuel”, that is, food, the body immediately changes its supply mode, switching to energy supply from internal reserves.

Of course, the process of fasting is a very important step, and it cannot be taken without analyzing the state of your body, without thinking through the conditions of this cleansing stage and, which is perhaps the most important thing, without understanding the method of getting out of hunger. As practice shows, the deaths that opponents of fasting are so afraid of occurred not during this process, but after its completion, when, deceived by the wonderful feeling of lightness and youth after emerging from hunger, people succumbed to appetite and ate something unacceptable at that moment.

It has been proven that you cannot immediately begin fasting for a period of more than 3 days if your body is not trained by one-day abstinence from food. Gradually we need to move on to longer periods of fasting.

Fasting according to P. Bragg

Execution method. Every week P. Bragg stayed without food for 24 or 36 hours, drinking only distilled water. When I came out of fasting, I ate a salad of raw vegetables without salt and oil, but with the addition of lemon juice. After four months of such weekly fasting, he recommended starting a 7-day fast, and after a few more months - a 10-day fast. Usually P. Bragg carried out a 7-9-day fast in early January. An inner voice told him when to interrupt. In the spring, he abstained from food for 10 days in order to better cleanse himself of toxins after winter. During the fast, he maintained good physical shape by taking walks in the fresh air. On such days, he specially left the city.

He recommends breaking a 7-10-day fast like this: on the last day, at about 5 pm, remove the skin from 4-5 medium-sized tomatoes, cut them, throw them into boiling water and remove from heat. This is the first food. On the morning of the eighth day, eat a salad of grated carrots, cabbage and orange, and after that, a small plate of stewed greens with two dried slices of whole bread. For lunch - again a salad of fresh vegetables, then - boiled vegetables. On the morning of the tenth day, eat fresh fruit and 2 tablespoons of sprouted wheat with honey. Then you need to go to your usual mode, which, however, is not too different from what was described above.

Thus, the American naturopathic doctor came out of hunger quite quickly and easily. But he had many years of fasting practice behind him, which trained his well-cleansed body. And in a country house in California it is more pleasant to carry out this procedure than in standard apartments saturated with various odors.

Fasting according to P. Ivanov

“Try to go completely without food and water at least once a week from 18-20 pm on Friday until 12 pm on Sunday. This is your merit and peace. If it’s difficult for you, then wait at least a day.” “On Sunday at 12 o’clock, go out into nature barefoot and breathe and think a few times... after that you can eat whatever you like.”

Fasting according to A. Mikulin

A.A. Mikulin suggested conducting one or two 7-day fasts per year. To do this, you need to do an enema the night before, repeating it every morning and evening throughout the week. If you feel weak, do another enema. When you feel hungry, drink only boiled water (this is a general rule for all fasting methods: drinking helps you endure hunger, as you feel a feeling of fullness in your stomach).

If all fasting conditions are followed correctly, then after a few days, according to A.A. Mikulin, gastric juice stops secreting and the body begins to eat its cells, primarily the sick ones. This is how healing and cleansing occurs.

On the first day after fasting A.A. Mikulin recommends drinking juice, fresh yogurt, tea; on the second day, add cottage cheese, boiled vegetables, crackers, taking them in small doses after 2-3 hours. On the third day, you can introduce potatoes, rice, and then as usual into your diet.

Fasting according to I. Neumyvakin

Carry out fasting only after cleansing the intestines, liver and ascending colon, since the body’s processing of the “deposits” accumulated in them can even cause harm at first. You need to start with a 1-2-day fast, gradually increasing the period to 12-14 days. At this time, you should lead an active lifestyle, walk more, jog, massage, and take a contrast shower.

Fasting according to Yu. Andreev

A need arose - he fasted for 3 days or 2 weeks, or even went on hunger for an unlimited period, and the signal for the completion of the cleansing process is an absolutely scarlet tongue, without a single spot of plaque. Energy support during fasting is drinking melt water and regular daily jogging for at least 40-50 minutes. For a more pleasant taste of water and better assistance in removing poisons from the body, a daily dose of 1.5-2 liters of Yu.A. Andreev adds the juice of 1/4 or 1/3 lemon, and a few drops of mint infusion with honey into the glass immediately before drinking.

When exiting fasting, do not allow haste. Even after a short, for example, 5-day fast, on the first day he allows himself to eat only juices, diluted by half, and then whole, and only on the third day he begins to consume small doses of light porridge with water (but not semolina - it is from “dead” cereals ), grated and boiled vegetables, prunes.

If, a few days after fasting, a monstrous appetite arises and there is a danger of gluttony, he eats “roughage” - foods rich in fiber, “so that the feeling of a full stomach calms the panicked body.”

Yu.A. Andreev is convinced that the way out of fasting, which is gentle in its schedule, should last the same amount of time, or at least 3/4 of the period that the fasting itself took. Meat can be included in the diet only 2-3 weeks after a long fast.

Fasting according to E. Frolov

Biologist E. Frolov developed the theory of subthreshold nutrition. It lies in the fact that a person eats tiny portions of food: one carrot, or one nut, or a handful of seeds a day, but the main thing is that it is living plant food, which helps to more easily endure hunger and not leave the regime of therapeutic fasting, prevent appetite. Using this method, very serious illnesses were cured.

Fasting according to S. Borodin

The candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences recommends carrying out a 7-10-day fast, while drinking a huge amount of water (up to 40 liters!) and doing enemas from beet broth. Using his cleaning method, S. Borodin was able to cure his ankylosing spondylitis.

At the same time, directly opposite methods are known that prohibit drinking water.

Fasting and urine therapy

Proponents of urine therapy offer different methods of urine fasting (we emphasize once again: it can only be used after cleansing the body). With the help of urine fasting, you can not only cleanse your body, but also successfully treat all gastrointestinal diseases and kidney diseases. And the kidneys are cleansed during urine fasting much better than when using watermelons or vegetable juices.

Urine fasting according to V.A. Erofeev. 2 days before it starts, sharply reduce the amount of protein, fatty and fried foods consumed. On the first day of fasting, starting in the morning, take a medium portion of urine with clean water. Next, as urine is released, you can drink it completely. The last portion before bedtime is thrown away so that the body can rest. Such fasting, according to the author, can be carried out for 4-7 days, and you need to move on to nutrition with caution, restoring it within a week. The best way out of fasting is to stop drinking water and urine on the last day in the evening, and an hour later drink a glass of fruit juice. The next day, drink juice and eat fresh fruits, on the third day - legume soup, boiled rice, boiled vegetables.

In order to recover from kidney disease, you need to fast for at least 24 days, while drinking spring water as needed. Make urine compresses on the stomach and kidney area, massage the whole body using urine for 2 hours.

Rheumatism, hemorrhoids, atherosclerosis and other diseases are also treated with the help of urine fasting.

If such fasting is difficult to carry out, you can combine it with subthreshold nutrition: for example, once a day eat a light meal consisting of 3 flatbreads (without yeast), or a small amount of rice with vegetables, or fresh vegetables and fruits. It is advisable to take food between 17 and 18 hours, before sunset. No urine, water, or any other liquid or solid food should be taken for an hour afterwards. Then urinary therapy can be continued again.

G.P. Malakhov calls urine fasting the crown of all fasting. He recommends doing it as follows: for 3 or 7 days, abstain from food, but drink the excreted urine - all or partly, you can also drink water. Body massage and enemas with evaporated urine (100-200 g one or several times a day) will help achieve an even greater effect.

Understanding his own experience of fasting, as well as the mistakes he made, led G.P. Malakhov to the main conclusions: fasting must be carried out after cleansing procedures and combined with high physical activity.

Hidden fasting

Hidden fasting, or mono-diet, is eating exclusively cereals cooked in water without salt. With such fasting, you can lose up to five kilograms in weight in a week - these are waste products. It is better to cook porridge liquid. It can be sprinkled with a mixture of sea salt, sesame seeds and hemp or flax. The seeds should be ground, but before that they must be dried in a frying pan. For 4 parts of ground seeds, take 1 part of sea salt.

If this dosage is too strong for a person, take 1 part salt to 16 parts seeds. Sesame opens all blockages and removes toxins. Hemp seed dissolves and removes kidney stones. Gamasio, based on any seed, removes not only toxins, but also hormones. Porridges cooked in water without salt and milk can be sprinkled with dry herbs, especially nettles.

With hidden fasting, many organs are cleansed. First of all, the mouth and tongue are cleansed, as a result of which we sense taste better. Secondly, the olfactory organs are cleansed.

The optimal option for hidden fasting is 3 days. A 3-day fast can be done once a month. Before you start such a fast, you need to cleanse your intestines.

After a 3-day fast, there may be no bowel movements for 2 days. This is not scary, since cereals do not rot in the body. But you can do an enema.

A 7-day fast can be done once a month. If you carry out a long 21-day fast, all antibiotics and steroid hormones accumulated over a lifetime are removed from the body.

For any period of fasting, it is necessary to take a shower 2 times a day, since cleansing occurs through the skin (you can shower more often).

During hidden fasting, you can drink boiled water with honey, adding a few drops of lemon juice or grapefruit juice.

Exiting hidden fasting must be done carefully. After 3 days of a mono-diet, on the fourth day, eat porridge in the morning, but with regular salt and a small piece of butter, for lunch - boiled vegetables, for dinner you can eat anything liquid.

Cleansing fasting technique

Abruptly stopping food intake is difficult, and it is not necessary. Most often, the obstacle to starting a course of fasting is the psychological habit that food must enter the body every day. But sometimes physical condition can become a significant obstacle. For example, on the first day of fasting, some people begin to feel very unwell and even lose consciousness. This occurs mainly in those who have low blood sugar. They need to fast carefully, keep a piece of sugar on hand and try not to stray too far from home. If you experience nausea, weakness, headache or dizziness, you should drink alkaline mineral water or soda diluted in water, or you can take a contrast shower.

Contraindications. Fasting is contraindicated for people with diseases such as diabetes, thyrotoxicosis, globulin and pyelonephritis, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, etc. Those with such diseases should fast under the supervision of a doctor.

A week before the start of a long fast, you should switch to a plant-based diet, this will allow you to cleanse your body and not overload yourself with frequent enemas.

Enemas should be done daily (P. Bragg advised against them completely; some authors recommend doing them only 3 times: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the fast). Having eaten your last meal at 18 o'clock in the evening, at 22-23 o'clock, before going to bed, you need to take a saline laxative (50-60 g of magnesium in 300-400 ml of water). After visiting the toilet in the morning, do an enema and take a contrast shower (you should take a shower at least 2 times a day throughout the entire course of fasting). Drink only water throughout the day; you should drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Throughout the fast, you should move as much as possible, be sure to visit the steam room, and clean off plaque from your tongue with a soft brush. You should try to smoke less, smoking can cause vasospasm and irritation of the gastric mucosa. During fasting, it is better not to wear synthetic clothing.

Notes:

During the entire recovery period, food should not be salted.

The diet from the 11-15th to the 30th day of nutrition can be varied depending on the availability of products, adhering to a vegetable-dairy diet.

In the absence of fresh fruits and vegetables, they can be replaced with an equal amount of canned (without sugar and with a minimum of salt) or dry.

Instead of kefir, you can use any fermented milk products.

For peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, the recovery period should begin with decoctions of cereals, jelly, and boiled vegetables. You should not consume canned juices, raw fruits and vegetables.

People prone to allergic diseases should exclude sensitizing foods for the entire recovery period, as they may already have exacerbations.

Since the greatest loss of body weight during fasting occurs in the first 7-10 days, fasting for obesity should be carried out in 2-3 cycles; 7-10 days of fasting, 5-7 days of recovery, then fasting again for 7-10 days. Longer periods are not effective. The best results are achieved precisely with such cyclic fasting, followed by regular weekly daily fasting and avoiding eating after 18-19 hours. For obese patients during the recovery period, the amount of products recommended above should be reduced by approximately 20-30%.

Physiological fasting according to Neumyvakin is a system of refusing to eat for medicinal purposes with procedures for cleansing the body and exercise therapy. The method of general improvement of the body was developed by the professor for space medicine. Its main techniques have gone to the people and are actively used by them.

Professor Neumyvakin’s system of therapeutic fasting has recently become a trend. Clinics and sanatoriums are opening under the banner of Dr. Neumyvakin, providing a range of fasting and detoxification services in comfortable conditions, under the supervision of attentive medical staff. The technique treats the most common diseases: from problems with the gastrointestinal tract to diseases of the spine. The main stages include cleansing:

• all parts of the intestine;
• kidneys and liver;
• pancreas;
• joints;
• blood, blood vessels.

The next steps of the technique are fasting, lasting from 14 (minimum period) to 21 days, the way out of hunger. Colon cleansing is performed in a hospital through cleansing enemas using a decoction of herbs, solutions of baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. Cleansing of internal organs occurs with the help of vitamin drinks and herbal infusions. All prescriptions are prescribed by a general practitioner at the patient’s initial consultation upon admission to the clinic.

Neumyvakin also advocates taking hydrogen peroxide orally or intravenously, but traditional medicine does not have clinical studies of this method of cleansing the body.

With a comprehensive detoxification of life support systems, according to the doctor’s followers, hunger is easier to bear. The procedure takes place in a calm environment (in nature, in resort areas, in the company of many like-minded people, without temptations or psychological turmoil). During the entire process, doctors monitor the patients' condition. Neumyvakin hunger has the same number of unpleasant symptoms as other methods of refusing food. The patient will experience weakness, apathy, sleep disturbance, possible nausea, dizziness, and a sickly appearance.

Long walks in the fresh air, entertainment, and excursion programs organized by the administration of the establishment will help you relax and recharge your energy.

How to treat spinal hernias according to Neumyvakin

The professor's technique has achieved significant success in the treatment of spinal diseases. Like any fasting, the Neumyvakin method cleanses cells, intercellular space, blood vessels, and blood from toxins, under-oxidized food breakdown products and dead particles. In the absence of food and the salt contained in it, the body has the opportunity to get rid of ballast in the form of retained fluid in muscles and tissues, which will reduce pressure on the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and relieve pain.

Another positive effect of physiological fasting is due to the patient’s weight loss in the first week of fasting up to 7 kilograms, which reduces the load on the skeleton. The result of treatment of spinal hernia by fasting according to Neumyvakin is the removal of inflammation, cleaning of capillaries and blood vessels, improvement of tissue regeneration, including ligaments.

Clinics and sanatoriums that practice fasting using this method offer patients (as an additional therapeutic measure) the “PravIlo” simulator. The effect of this invention of the professor is based on stretching and relaxing the spine, ligaments and joints, as a result of which blocks and clamps are eliminated, activating a person’s internal reserves. After the exercise, you feel a surge of strength and energy, lightness in the body and good spirits. It is combined with physiological fasting, original shock wave massage, and ointments according to the professor’s recipes.

Exercises on the simulator will give tangible healing results in the treatment and prevention of spinal diseases: osteochondrosis, scoliosis, intervertebral hernias, radiculitis.

Features of the technique for autoimmune diseases

The professor refers to autoimmune diseases as “breakdowns” of the genetic apparatus due to an unhealthy lifestyle, bad habits, environmental situation, sedentary work, and poor eating behavior. It is possible to cure such diseases by restoring the immune balance of beneficial and harmful microorganisms in the small intestine.

Neumyvakin argues that human immunity and its ability to pass on healthy genes to offspring depends on a strict regime of work, rest, nutrition and drinking. Only water, drunk on an empty stomach, acquires properties that allow it to renew cells and intercellular space. Water during meals is unable to become structured and remove toxins from the body, and its transformation requires a large amount of energy.

Fasting for autoimmune diseases will help the process of regeneration of the genetic apparatus. The professor advises to engage in physical exercise, cleanse the body with hunger, put the body and spirit in order, then autoimmune diseases will be cured naturally.

The main rules of recovery using the Neumyvakin method are consistency and moderation. Systematicity means repeating the procedure to consolidate the effect several times a year. Moderation requires adhering to the principles of a healthy lifestyle and physical activity in everyday life between procedures. All stages of fasting according to Neumyvakin are built on these principles:

• entering the procedure requires testing for several days to test the body's response to hunger. At this stage, food intake is reduced, the patient switches to natural foods, and follows drinking recommendations;
• Direct fasting occurs with the obligatory drinking of water. The recommended norm is 2 liters. The doctor may prescribe a set of additional procedures (paid services) to the patient, including baths, hammams, various types of massages, reflexology (acupuncture), and a set of diagnostic measures. The professor advises taking water treatments daily during fasting. There is an active removal of waste and toxins from the body through the skin. Physical therapy during fasting plays a special role. A set of exercises for the whole body stimulates blood circulation and saturation of the body with oxygen;
• the way out of hunger is developed individually for each patient (depending on the duration of fasting) and lasts at least 2-3 days. In the first days, the menu should consist of diluted natural juices, a few spoons of pureed vegetable salad, the same portion of porridge for lunch and dinner, vegetable puree soup, and fermented milk products. All food must be chewed until liquid. Fish and meat are included in the diet in boiled form only at the end of the second week. Salt and hot spices are prohibited.

Contraindications

Before arriving at an institution where physiological fasting is practiced, the patient must undergo a series of general tests and have the oral cavity sanitized. But there are a number of contraindications that will not allow a person to undergo treatment. The main ones are the following:

• age restrictions: up to 16 and over 70 years;
• body weight deficiency, moderate and severe anemia;
• pregnancy, breastfeeding;
• HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis in the acute phase;
• oncological diseases;
• diabetes;
• epilepsy;
• mental disorders;
• multiple sclerosis.

All processes occurring in the body can be regulated by fasting. This is what Professor Neumyvakin says. Feedback from his patients suggests that the healing technique can improve the health of everyone who is interested in it.

Fasting technique of Professor Neumyvakin

Among the various fasting methods, a special place is occupied by the method developed by professor, doctor of medical sciences, laureate of the USSR State Prize Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin. It would be more correct to say that he developed not so much his own method of fasting, but a system of general improvement of the body without drugs.

This system was used in the training of our cosmonauts and was distinguished by its simplicity and efficiency. The healing system is a team, many recommendations are taken from other famous naturopaths and traditional medicine specialists, which does not detract from its dignity. Some healing methods are controversial and have not been sufficiently studied - this is the use of peroxide and soda to treat a variety of diseases from diabetes to cancer. Although there are a sufficient number of positive reviews about their use on the Internet.

The basis of the Neumyvakin system is to cleanse the body of waste and toxins that are formed during the life of the body and gradually disrupt biochemical processes, which leads to various diseases.

It is in this vein that fasting is used, which the author considers one of the strongest natural cleansers.

The Neumyvakin fasting method has some features.

To do this, Neumyvkin recommends using his own cleansing method, which includes a variety of enemas (with soda, hydrogen peroxide and other special solutions). In addition, it is recommended to consume hydrogen peroxide daily according to a special regimen. The Neumyvakin clinic previously widely used monitor bowel cleansing, which allows you to quickly cleanse the deep parts of the large intestine, as well as enemas. But recently the author has abandoned their use, replacing them with drinking hydrogen peroxide and soda.

And only after the entire complex of cleansing procedures is it recommended to use therapeutic fasting. After such cleansing, fasting, according to the professor, is more effective and easier to tolerate.

You need to start fasting gradually, first mastering short periods of fasting /1-3 days/, and only then move on to longer periods.

During fasting, be sure to drink water, preferably protium water. Fasting according to Neumyvakin is impossible without sufficient physical activity in the fresh air. You can and should use breathing exercises with breath holding. According to Neumyvakin, such breath holdings contribute to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the body and can significantly enhance the healing properties of fasting. To do this, just exhale and inhale for 1-2 minutes into a plastic bag.

The way out of fasting according to Neumyvakin has its own characteristics. First of all, this concerns proper fluid intake. The professor recommends going out on fruit and vegetable juices using the classical method. However, there is a video of a user who, at the Neumyvakin clinic, came out of a 7-day fast on infant formula and special vitamin cocktails, which, in our opinion, is not very reasonable.

The author draws attention to the proper use of fluids when recovering from hunger and in everyday nutrition. You can drink no later than 20 minutes before meals. Do not drink during meals and abstain from liquids for another 2 hours after eating, especially protein.

It is also very important to chew food thoroughly, bringing it to an almost liquid state in your mouth.

The Neumyvakin health system has been tested by tens of thousands of people and has received a huge number of positive reviews. And fasting in this system is an important part.

Currently, it is possible to take a course of cleansing and fasting at the health center of Professor Neumyvakin in the village of Borovitsa, Kirov region.

1.Hidden fasting (mono-diet) - this is a diet exclusively of cereals cooked in water without salt. With such fasting, you can lose up to 5 kg in weight in a week - these are waste products.

It is better to cook porridge liquid. It can be sprinkled with a mixture of sea salt, sesame seeds and hemp or flax seeds. The seeds should be ground, but before that they must be dried in a frying pan. For 4 parts of ground seeds, take 1 part of sea salt. If this dosage is too strong for a person, take 1 part salt to 16 parts seeds.

Sesame opens all blockages and removes toxins. Hemp seed dissolves and removes kidney stones. Porridges cooked in water without salt and milk can be sprinkled with dry herbs, especially nettles.

With hidden fasting, many organs are cleansed. First of all, the mouth and tongue are cleansed, as a result of which taste is better felt, and then the sense of smell is enhanced.

The optimal option for hidden fasting is 3 days. A 3-day fast can be done once a month. Before you start such a fast, you need to cleanse your intestines. After a 3-day fast, there may be no bowel movements for 2 days. This is not scary, since cereals do not rot in the body. But you can do an enema.

A 7-day fast can be done once a month. If you carry out a long 21-day fast, the body will be completely cleansed.

During hidden fasting, you can drink boiled water with honey, adding a few drops of lemon or grapefruit juice.

You need to come out of hidden fasting carefully. On the fourth day of the mono-diet, you can eat porridge in the morning, but with regular salt and a small piece of butter, boiled vegetables for lunch, and at dinner limit yourself to only liquid food.

2. Fasting according to P. Bragg. American naturopathic doctor P. Bragg spent 24 or 36 hours without food every week, drinking only distilled water. When I came out of fasting, I ate a salad of raw vegetables without salt and oil, but with the addition of lemon juice.

After 4 months of such weekly fasting, he recommended starting a 7-day fast, and after a few more months - a 10-day fast. Usually P. Bragg carried out a 7-9-day fast in early January.

An inner voice told him when to interrupt. In the spring, he abstained from food for 10 days in order to better cleanse himself of toxins after winter. During the fast, he maintained good physical shape by taking walks in the fresh air. On such days, he specially left the city.

On the morning of the 8th day, eat a salad of grated carrots, cabbage and orange, and after that, a small plate of stewed greens with two toasted slices of whole grain bread. For lunch - again a salad of fresh vegetables, then - boiled vegetables.

On the morning of the 10th day, eat fresh fruit and 2 tablespoons of sprouted wheat with honey. Then you need to switch to normal mode, but it is advisable that it does not differ too much from the above.

3. Short-term fasting according to I. Samoilova. Doctor of Medical Sciences I.K. Samoilova classifies the types of short-term fasting as follows.

• Water fasting. A 24-hour fast should last from morning to morning or from dinner to dinner. You should avoid all solid foods and fruits, as well as fruit and vegetable juices. This type of fasting is known as complete fasting. A person drinks only water - distilled or regular (settled after boiling), cold or hot, rosehip decoction, herbal infusions. You can add lemon juice to the water (1 teaspoon per 1 glass) and 3-4 teaspoons of honey throughout the day. In case of combined heart defects with a predominance of stenosis and congestion in the liver, the amount of fluid consumed must be limited.
• Juice fasting. Drink 1-1.5 liters of freshly prepared fruit or vegetable juice per day. The most commonly used juices are carrot, cabbage, beet, apple, and grape juices. Any juice should be kept in the refrigerator before use. It is not recommended for people with hypotension to drink beet juice, as it lowers blood pressure.
• Fruit and vegetable fasting. Eat 250-300 g of fruits or vegetables 2 times a day with an interval of 6-7 hours.
• Fasting on whey, yogurt, kefir. Consume 400-600 g of these products during the day.
• Morning fasting. In the morning, drink 1 glass of water or juice. Have breakfast after 4-5 hours.

4. Fasting according to Yu. Andreev. Yu. A. Andreev connects periods of fasting with the emergence of such a need in a person: “...I fasted for 3 days or 2 weeks, or even went on hunger without a limited period.”

The signal for the completion of the cleansing process is a completely scarlet tongue, without a single spot of plaque. Energy support during fasting is drinking water and regular daily jogging for at least 40-50 minutes.

For a more pleasant taste of water and better assistance in removing poisons from the body, to a daily dose of 1.5-2 liters Yu. Andreev adds the juice of 1/4 or 1/3 lemon, and a few drops of mint infusion with honey into the glass immediately before drinking.

When coming out of fasting, he does not allow haste. Even after a short, for example 5-day, fast, on the first day he allows himself only to drink juices diluted by half, on the second - undiluted, and only on the third day he begins to gradually eat light porridges in water (but not semolina - it is from the “dead” cereals), grated and boiled vegetables, prunes.

If, a few days after fasting, a monstrous appetite arises and there is a danger of gluttony, he eats “roughage” - foods rich in fiber, “so that the feeling of a full stomach calms the panicked body.”

Yu. A. Andreev is convinced that the exit from fasting, gentle in its schedule, should last the same amount of time, or at least 3/4 of the period that the fasting itself took.

Meat can be included in the diet only 2-3 weeks after a long fast.

5. Fasting according to E. Frolov. Biologist E.K. Frolov developed the theory of subthreshold nutrition. Its essence is that a person eats tiny portions of food: one carrot, or one nut, or a handful of seeds a day, but the main thing is that it is living plant food, which helps to endure hunger more easily and not leave the regime of therapeutic fasting, prevent appetite. Using this method, very serious illnesses were cured.

6. Fasting according to A. Mikulin. A. A. Mikulin’s method involves one or two 7-day fasts per year.

To do this, you need to do an enema the night before, repeating it every morning and evening throughout the week. If you feel weak, do another enema.

When you feel hungry, drink only boiled water (this is a general rule for all fasting methods: drinking helps you endure hunger, as you feel a feeling of fullness in your stomach).

If all fasting conditions are observed correctly, then after a few days, according to A. A. Mikulin, gastric juice stops secreting, and the body begins to eat its cells, primarily the sick ones. This is how healing and cleansing occurs.

On the first day after fasting, A. A. Mikulin recommends drinking juice, fresh yogurt, tea; on the second day, add cottage cheese, boiled vegetables, crackers, taking them in small doses after 2-3 hours. On the third day, you can introduce potatoes and rice into your diet and continue to eat as usual.

7. Fasting according to I. Neumyvakin. From the point of view of I.P. Neumyvakin, fasting should be carried out only after cleansing the intestines, liver and ascending colon, since the body’s processing of the “deposits” accumulated in them can cause harm at first.

You need to start with a 1-2-day fast, gradually increasing the period to 12-14 days. At this time, you should lead an active lifestyle: walk more, jog, get a massage, take a contrast shower.

8. Fasting according to Porfiry Ivanov. Here are the tips of the famous folk healer Porfiry Ivanov: “Try to go completely without food and water at least once a week: from 18-20 pm on Friday until 12 pm on Sunday. This is your merit and peace. If it’s difficult for you, then wait at least a day... on Sunday at 12 o’clock, go out into nature barefoot and breathe and think several times... after that you can eat whatever you like.”

Thousands of people call him Teacher with respect and love. His teachings on hardening, a healthy lifestyle and moral behavior, his 12 commandments, replace the Sermon on the Mount for followers. Porfiry Korneevich Ivanov, an illiterate Russian man who completed only four years of primary school, became for many people the new Messiah.

His personality has always aroused admiration and controversy, bewilderment and veneration, rumors and legends. Eastern martial arts, Tibetan auto-training and other ancient systems of human health are currently attracting more and more fans in Russia and abroad. But each country has its own traditions, its own national characteristics. Being carried away by overseas methods of treatment, a person forgets that in Russia there are healing systems that are in no way inferior in effectiveness to yoga or Tibetan medicine. Such a unique Russian nugget is Porfiry Ivanov.

He wrote his famous “Baby” in 1982. The effectiveness of this system is amazing, and its name is completely justified. “Nature is our mother...” says Porfiry Ivanov. And we are all children of Mother Nature.

“Baby” by Porfiry Ivanov includes 12 simple tips, which represent a real set of health-improving measures that allow anyone, even a completely weakened and sick person, to turn on the body’s defenses to their full potential and unlock all the available resources of human physiology. Here is just a very short list of what the “baby” treats: asthma, diabetes, depression, ischemia, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, hypo- and hypertension, early stage cancer, peptic ulcers. The system is also effective for recovery after heart attacks and strokes.

First of all, this system is based on the fact that anyone can start getting healthier, regardless of their physical fitness. He will not need any preliminary exercises or additional measures, even if he is weak or sick. It is important to believe in your capabilities, to “open up” to the life-giving forces of the surrounding nature.

9. Fasting according to S. Borodin. Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences S.A. Borodin recommends a 7-10-day fast, while drinking a huge amount of water (up to 40 liters!) and doing enemas from beet broth.

Among the most popular methods of cleansing the body, developed by Professor Neumyvakin, is cleansing the intestines of worms with ordinary baking soda, often mentioned in his book as the elixir of youth.

The mechanism of action of soda is extremely simple. All intestinal helminths prefer a habitat with a neutral pH, or better yet, a low pH, i.e. acidic. Although soda itself, being an acidic salt of carbonic acid, does not have alkaline properties, its aqueous solution becomes alkaline, having a pH of about 13.5 (for comparison, the pH of drinking water is from 7 to 8). Thus, soda allows you to cope with acidosis - a shift in the acid-base balance towards acidification of the body, which is expressed in a decrease in blood pH from normal 7.36–7.44 to pathological 7.25 or less.

Some may be puzzled by the connection between blood pH and the effect on helminths, the vast majority of which live not in the blood, but in the intestines.

Stage No. 1 - cleansing enema:

1. Prepare 2 liters (for teenagers - 1.5 liters, for children - 1 liter) of boiled water, cooled to 20–24 °C. Warmer water will force the intestines to absorb it along with all the toxins dissolved in it, which until then lay peacefully on the walls. This may lead to intoxication.
2. Dissolve 1–2 tbsp in water, depending on volume. l. salt. It is necessary to prevent the absorption of water by intestinal cells, which will ensure its cleansing.
3. Pour the solution into Esmarch's mug and open the tap slightly for 3-4 seconds to allow air to escape from the hose.
4. Place the patient on his left side.
5. Lubricate the tip of the hose with Vaseline or oil and carefully insert it into the anus.
6. Raise the water tank higher and slowly open the tap. Too high a rate of water administration will cause a sharp stretching of the intestinal walls, which will lead to pain.
7. Lying on his back and breathing deeply, the patient should hold the water for at least 5 minutes, preferably 10, after which he can go to the toilet.

Stage No. 2 - soda enema:

1. Dissolve 1 tbsp. l. soda in 0.8 liters of boiled water, cooled to room temperature. Heat water to 40 °C.
2. A soda enema is performed similarly to a cleansing enema.
3. The patient should hold the soda solution for 30 minutes.

Stage No. 3 - second cleansing enema:

In general, it is placed according to the same system as the first one, but 1 tsp is additionally added to the water. lemon juice, and hold the water for at least 10 minutes.

The entire cycle of enemas must be repeated up to 8 times a day.

Scheme for taking soda according to the Neumyvakin method:

1. On the 1st day, drink 0.2 tsp three times. baking soda, dissolving it in a glass of boiled water, cooled to an acceptable temperature.
2. From the 2nd to the 4th day, increase the dose by 0.1 tsp. soda (i.e. on the 4th day it will reach 0.5 tsp).
3. From the 4th to the 7th day, keep the dose at 0.5 tsp. three times a day.

However, the described method of combating worms has a number of contraindications:

• postoperative period;
• diabetes;
• stomach diseases (especially ulcers).

Deworming with hydrogen peroxide

The mechanism of action of peroxide on helminths is based on the fact that in the body this substance breaks down into oxygen and water. A high-oxygen environment is detrimental to intestinal worms because intestinal gas is naturally only 11% oxygen. In this sense, Neumyvakin’s method is similar to the method of treating ascariasis and trichocephalosis by introducing oxygen into the intestines using a catheter, which is completely safe for humans and allows one to avoid taking toxic anthelmintics.

To remove helminths with peroxide, Dr. Neumyvakin advises following the following scheme:

1. Prepare mineral or distilled water and a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
2. On the 1st day, take 1 drop of solution mixed in 50 ml of water 3 times.
3. On the 2nd day, increase the dose to 2 drops and increase it until the 10th day inclusive (i.e., up to three doses of 10 drops per day). After completing the first course, take a break of 3 days.
4. The further treatment regimen depends on whether the person experiences discomfort when taking hydrogen peroxide or tolerates it without side effects (more on them below). In the first case, it is enough to immediately take the second 10-day course of treatment, but 10 drops three times a day from the 1st to the 10th day. In the second case, you should drink the same 10 drops of peroxide three times a day, but take three-day breaks every 2-3 days, until the total course of treatment (including the first 10 days) is 21 days.

A single dose of hydrogen peroxide for children and adolescents should be reduced:

• up to 5 years - 1–2 drops;
• 5–10 years - from 2 to 5 drops;
• 10–14 years - from 5 to 8 drops.

For any treatment regimen, it is necessary to take the solution either 1.5 hours after a meal or 30 minutes before it.

Oral intake of hydrogen peroxide causes many people to naturally fear for their own health, because in traditional medicine this substance is used exclusively externally as a powerful antiseptic. Although Professor Neumyvakin personally experienced not only oral administration of peroxide, but also its intravenous administration, there are enough reviews on the Internet of people who were poisoned by this drug or who suffered burns to the mucous membranes.

In addition, Californian scientists were able to establish that, of all the components of tobacco smoke, it is hydrogen peroxide that provokes lung cancer in smokers.

Before cleansing the body with peroxide, you should try much safer remedies: from anthelmintic herbs to the same soda.

Some of the most common side effects of oral peroxide intake include:

• diarrhea;
• nausea;
• allergic dermatoses;
• drowsiness;
• increased fatigue;
• runny nose;
• cough.

If the previous method causes too strong side effects, it is recommended to replace oral peroxide with rectal administration - through a dropper.

1. Purchase a blood transfusion system (price - about 45 rubles) and a bottle for it.
2. Make wormwood infusion: 1 tsp. wormwood in 200 ml of water, cook for 2 minutes. After cooling, strain.
3. Add boiled water to compensate for what has boiled away, bringing the volume to the same 200 ml.
4. Stir 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide into the broth.
5. Pour the finished drug into a bottle and connect a dropper to it.
6. Trim the needle. Lightly melt the tube to round the edges, and then coat it with Vaseline.
7. Install the system at a height of 2 m.
8. Insert the tube into the anus and pour in about 30 ml at once. At the same time, the urge to go to the toilet should arise, which should be done.
9. After defecation, administer the remaining solution at a rate of 1 drop per second.
10. Give an enema according to the above scheme every day for a month.

Other cleansings using the Neumyvakin method

Cleansing the intestines of helminths is far from the only task facing a person on the path to recovery. Neumyvakin considers an equally important stage to be cleansing the body of what in folk medicine is summarized under the term “waste and toxins,” namely:

• radionuclides, heavy metal salts, food additives, drug residues, nitrates and fecal stones in the intestines;
• gallstones in the biliary tract;
• kidney and bladder stones;
• deposits of calcium salts in various joints.

Especially for readers of the site, all the main cleansing programs developed by I.P. were compiled into one collection. Neumyvakin and described by him in his books. At the same time, we must not forget that a number of diseases that require cleansing procedures (for example, urolithiasis and cholelithiasis) can lead to dangerous complications, and therefore you cannot rely only on traditional medicine. If Dr. Neumyvakin’s advice turns out to be powerless (which needs to be checked not by eye, but by medical examination), you should consult a doctor

Colon cleansing

Neumyvakin Ivan Pavlovich gives two methods of cleansing and healing the intestines.

Recipe No. 1: dissolve 1 tbsp. l. apple cider vinegar and 1 tbsp. l. cranberry juice (can be replaced with lemon or currant) juice in 1.5 liters of cooled boiled water.

Recipe No. 2:

1. Grate 800 g of beets.
2. Add 1.5 liters of boiling water to it and simmer, stirring regularly, for 20 minutes.
3. Wrap up and let sit for 1 hour. Then strain.
4. Dilute the resulting juice with water in the proportion of 2 cups of juice to 1.5 liters of water.

Regardless of the chosen recipe, the enema should be given according to the following scheme:

1. Go to the knee-elbow position and relax.
2. Lubricate the tip of the Esmarch mug tube and the anus with soap.
3. When the mixture begins to enter the intestines, you need to inhale and exhale deeply several times. When all the water is in the intestines, you should repeat deep inhalations and exhalations.
4. In the knee-elbow position, only the descending and transverse parts of the colon are cleaned, while most of the fecal “deposits” are located in the ascending section. To allow the colon to be completely cleansed, you should stand in the birch tree pose and then lower yourself onto your right side, breathing deeply. After this, you need to lie on your back and slowly stand up.
5. After 5 minutes, the enema must be repeated.

Liver and gallbladder cleansing

In order to cleanse the hepatobiliary system according to Neumyvakin at home, you must choose two days off for this procedure. Already three days before the weekend, you should switch only to a vegetarian diet with low protein content and drink infusions of choleretic herbs. During this period, it is recommended to indulge in sour apples or apple juice. In addition, you will have to give a cleansing enema every day.

On the 4th day of the diet (i.e. on the first day off), the following procedure is carried out:

1. At 15:00, take 2 tablets of Allochol or any other choleretic drug.
2. Mix 150 ml of olive oil with 100 ml of lingonberry juice, 100 ml of cranberry juice and 100 ml of lemon juice (if there are no berry juices, you can just use 300 ml of lemon).
3. Throughout the day you should drink decoctions of raisins and dried apricots, tea with lemon and honey.
4. At 18:00, take 2 tablets of No-shpa or a similar amount of another drug based on drotaverine. For low or high blood pressure, you should limit yourself to only one tablet.
5. At 18:30 take a 15-minute hot bath.
6. At 19:00 go to bed and place a heating pad on the liver area.
7. Drink the pre-prepared and slightly warmed mixture. In case of nausea, you should crush some garlic in advance and smell it when you feel the urge to vomit. It is not advisable to walk during the procedure.
8. Often within 3-8 hours the right hypochondrium begins to hurt. In such a situation, you should take the same dose of Allochol and No-shpa again, warm up in the bath again, and then jump, and then go to bed.
9. The stones may be passed in the stool the next morning. In any case, at 12:00 you need to do a cleansing enema, and at 15:00 repeat the entire liver cleansing procedure.

Next time it needs to be repeated in a month. Subsequently, it is recommended to undergo a course of cleansing of the hepatobiliary system 1–2 times annually.

People over 50 years old should heed Neumyvakin’s advice: reduce the amount of oil to 100 ml and mix it not with sour juices, but with 100 ml of biokefir. This cleaning option is more gentle.

Cleansing the urinary system

To get rid of urinary calculi (stones) in the kidneys and ureter P.I. Neumyvakin advises undergoing the following procedure once a month:

1. Grind the dried rose hips so that you get 5 tbsp. l. ground berries.
2. Brew them with 600 ml of boiling water and leave overnight. Strain the next morning.
3. In the morning, take a laxative - for example, castor oil (castor oil). The infusion should not be consumed on this day yet.
4. The next day, add 2 tsp to the infusion. sorbitol, drink 1 glass and immediately lie down on the bed, placing a heating pad on the right hypochondrium.

Blood purification

To cleanse the blood of cholesterol plaques and pathogenic microorganisms, Professor Neumyvakin recommends using ginger, black pepper, honey and lemon juice.

1. Brew 1.5 g of ginger powder with 1.5 liters of water and keep on low heat for 20 minutes.
2. Just before removing from heat, add a pinch of ground black pepper.
3. Wait until the broth reaches an acceptable temperature and sweeten it with 3 tbsp. l. honey.
4. Drink the decoction three times a day, half an hour before meals, a third of a glass, immediately before taking it, mixing it with a third of a glass of lemon juice and a third of a glass of water. The decoction should be stored closed on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

Joint cleaning

For this procedure you will need to purchase a regular bay leaf.

1. In the evening, brew 5 g of bay leaf in 0.3 liters of water. Cook for 5 minutes.
2. Let sit overnight or at least 4 hours.
3. Drink a little of all 0.3 liters of broth per day. Repeat for two more days, then take a 7-day break and repeat the 3-day course.
