Narrado por: Kevin Waites

"The Fasting Cure" by Upton Sinclair is an intriguing exploration into the health benefits of fasting, first published in 1911. In this work, Sinclair diverges from his better-known investigative and fictional writings to delve into personal health and wellness. Drawing from his own experiences alongside a collection of testimonials, Sinclair champions fasting as a transformative health practice capable of curing various ailments. The book serves as both a guide and a persuasive argument, advocating for the body's natural healing abilities when given a rest from digestion.

Despite its historical context, Sinclair's insights into fasting echo some contemporary practices and debates around health and wellness. However, given its age, "The Fasting Cure" represents the perspectives and scientific understanding of its time, offering a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century health beliefs while inviting listeners to critically consider its relevance to modern health and science.

Incredible!

what we knew over a century ago, we are rediscovering today. I've begun to Fast as a method of healing and the results are mind-blowing. Upton Sinclair perfectly describes my experiences with fasting. His discovery has been exactly my discovery. He covers social justice and cancel culture, yes even a type of medical gestapo he dealt with in his time and reveals how a century ago he dealt with the same nonsense we are still dealing with today. This book is very insightful not just on the topic of fasting but from a historical standpoint it informs us that the more time passes the more nothing changes.
