The attractiveness of this method of cleaning and treating the body is obvious: fasting does not cost anything, do not to spend money on expensive drugs, do not make the often difficult asanas of hatha yoga, no need to concentrate, as in auditory training. The authors of popular books on fasting 'prescribed' it for the treatment of virtually all disease, obesity beginning and ending cancers.
