"Fasting is the greatest remedy--the physician

way to fast as it provides the body with it's dietary
nutritional requirements and are also of great benefit for
people suffering from acne.
One of the best juices to take several times a day on a fast is
carrot juice. Carrot juice is an excellent blood cleanser and
helps to clear and beautify the skin. It reverses the condition
of acidosis which is an excess of acid in the body tissues and
is one type of toxicity.
Another good juice that can be mixed with carrot juice is
spinach. Spinach juice is one of the best for cleaning out the
intestinal tract of toxic waste. Spinach |
