Fasting has been practiced as a remedy for illness since ancient times. Syphilis was a constant malady plaguing soldiers of past armies.
During Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt, he learned that the Egyptians used fasting to cure syphilis for centuries. He had his afflicted soldiers undertake a complete fast for many days, and with great result.
Al Capone died of syphilis even though he was one of the first to receive penicillin. It was too late for him. Capone might have lived longer had he known about the fasting cure.
Al Capone late in life.
WOW this is an awesome little fact here! There are some big opinions out there about fasting. I have done different types of fasting/cleanses, and had a lot of success, and life lessons with them. Didn't do them for the reasons listed above... LOL, but it is great to know what fasting can help! ;)
