Effects of fasting

For about 20 years, we've been observing changes in the bodies of our patients who conduct food pauses. Almost always there's a natural series of events, similar to those seen by a doctor who has prescribed a successful medication. At the same time, unlike medicine, a properly conducted fasting never causes side effects or any deterioration of patients' health.

However, let's start with contraindications.

They are few. The first one is a lack of body weight. The second is rapid weight loss due to an unclear cause. The third is an acute illness that requires specialized therapy.

The necessary conditions for a food pause are the initial satisfactory health condition and the patient's desire to participate in fasting treatment.
