Fasting Can Save Our Lives

Fasting, in the sense understood by us, means total abstinence, for a defined period of time, from food. The term derives from the word "faesten" which, in archaic English, meant firm or fixed. In other words, fasting is something to be carried out on a firm footing and under controlled and well-established conditions.
