[NOTE: One of the best-known medical doctors in America, Deepak
Chopra, laments that: "NONE of our Western medical interventions
get to the root CAUSE of disease." All three Fathers of Western
Medicine fasted and prescribed it because it DOES get to the root
causes of diseases. In his scientific 1995 book, FASTING AND EATING
FOR HEALTH, Joel Fuhrman, M.D., writes, p. 176: "Fasting is a safe
and effective approach for not only fibroid tumors, but also for most
noncancerous tumors. Nasal polyps, lipomas, benign ovarian tumors,
and benign tumors of the breast often respond favorably to
therapeutic fasting, especially when the person is not very
overweight.". . .Ms. Dorothy Pedersen, an American Ph.D. candidate
in Jungian psychology, first did Fasting Center International's Program
several years ago. But it wasn't until a longer, follow-up fast--after
she had discovered a tumor was growing in her jaw--that additional
fasting paid her its greatest dividends. . .in Dorothy's own
words:]
"I initially used the Fasting Center International Program to cleanse
and balance my system, for a sense of well-being, increased energy,
and clarity of thought. It wasn't until I reached a health 'crisis' that I
realized the powerful healing potential of fasting. Through this
Program, I was able to get in touch with my body's own intelligence
and innate healing mechanisms, to successfully dissolve a benign
tumor that 'required' surgery.
"The spontaneous remission I experienced is a direct result of the
powerful results which can be achieved through therapeutic fasting. I
am ECSTATIC about the incredible healing results I received, which
exceeded the expectations of modern medical science. The
possibilities are ENDLESS! Thank you!"
In a personal note accompanying her testimonial, Dorothy added: "I'm
also enclosing a copy of the response I received from the oncologist
who delivered to me the ONLY option he said I had in life--go under
the knife, or else! Unbelievable! I just LOVE to beat the system, don't
you? Let me know if I can be of any help to you in your great
endeavors. Take care, Dorothy."
In the letter Dorothy enclosed from her California surgical oncologist
(name on file, although FCI respects his privacy here), he responded
to her 3-page letter outlining her 'spontaneous remission' through
doing Fasting Center International's Program, as follows, in
part:
"Dear Ms. Pedersen: Thank you for your thoughtful letter about
alternative methods to treat various illnesses. As you know,
Medicine is not an exact science like Mathematics. We know there
are very well documented cases of spontaneous cures of cancer
and tumor patients. We don't know the mechanism of these cures,
and perhaps what you mentioned in your letter may be
one."
