The Oldest Cure in the World : Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting

As Steve Hendricks shows in The Oldest Cure in the World: Adventures in the Art and Science of Fasting by Abrams is all about how fasting can slow ageing and prevent and reverse diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Fasting has improved the lives of people with epilepsy, asthma and arthritis and has even protected patients from the worst of chemotherapy's side effects. From the earliest days of humanity and the Greek fathers of medicine through Christianity's 'fasting saints' and a 19th-century doctor, Hendricks takes readers on a rich and comprehensive tour.
