The oldest cure in the world : adventures in the art and science of fasting

Hendricks, Steve2022
Book
"From the earliest days of humanity and the Greek fathers of medicine through Christianity's "fasting saints" and a nineteenth-century doctor whose stupendous forty-day fast on a New York City stage inaugurated the modern era of therapeutic fasting, Hendricks takes readers on a rich and comprehensive tour. Threaded throughout are Hendricks's own adventures in fasting, including a stay at a luxurious fasting clinic in Germany and in a more Spartan one closer to home in Northern California"-- Provided by publisher.
