"I believe in and consider the
cleansing/fasting/detoxification process... to be the missing
link in Western nutrition and a key to the health and vitality
of our civilization. In over 25 years of medical practice,
I have utilized extensively, various detox and healing/rejuvenation
practices.... I truly believe that cleansing and detoxification...
is virtually one of the most powerful healing therapies
(real healing of ailments and not just suppression of symptoms)
I have witnessed.... Its effects offer re-balance for the
body/mind and are preventive for many health problems."
(from "The Purification Process: Healing for Modern
Times" by Elson Haas, MD)
He's also said, "Overall, after 35 years
of medical practice, I have to say that the fasting/cleansing/detoxification
process is the greatest and most effective healing tool I
have found. It is an important component for the prevention
of degenerative diseases and a key to transformational and
evolutionary medicine and healing." (from "Spring Cleansing"
by Elson Haas, MD)
