Fasting helps treat many illnesses

Fasting helps treat many illnesses:

One of the most important books I have read in this field is the one entitled "Treatment by Fasting" written by the Russian scientist Alexi Soforin and translated into Arabic in 1930.

This scientist remarks that fasting helps rid the body of its toxins. Although the body gets rid of many of them through its various methods of excretion, some remain and may be excreted through fasting...

The scientist also states that in fasting the body does not get enough food and begins to dissipate its fats, grease, diseased and festered tissues, which are excreted by the body.

This scientist also found out that a long term temperate fast that followed a certain regime could treat many diseases.

I hereby present his research for study as a scientist who tested the contents of his book.

Are there any other bodily benefits through fasting? Yes.
