The Body's own Physician - Understanding Fasting and the Science of Self-Healing
By Herbert
Length46m
About this audiobook
The Body’s Own Physician explores Herbert M. Shelton’s perspective on fasting, physiological rest, and the body’s natural capacity for self-healing. Drawing on decades of observation and experience in Natural Hygiene, the book explains what fasting is, how the body uses its internal reserves, and why fasting should not be confused with starvation. It examines hunger, energy conservation, elimination, and the fundamental idea that healing is ultimately performed by the living organism itself. Clear and accessible, this concise guide presents fasting not as a cure, but as a means of giving the body the rest it needs to restore itself.
