Therapeutic fasting (14 days)

HOW IS THE PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED?

The stay lasts 14 days, namely:

• 3 initial days on a fruit and vegetable diet,
• 7 days of fasting,
• 4 days of re-adaptation.

Therapeutic fasting (starvation) activates a positive process of autophagy, namely the body's self-cleansing process, which is triggered on two levels. The first level burns excess fat, which the liver converts into ketone bodies, an essential source of energy for the brain, heart, muscle, and kidney function. On the second level, triggered when these reserves are depleted, cells begin to convert used or damaged protein molecules, bacteria, and viruses into energy. Simultaneously, cells are reborn in a new, healthy, and rejuvenated form from the resulting raw materials.

The Post Healing Program is designed foror adults ( aged 18 and over)) who would like to:

• Laboratory tests:
• complete blood count,
• ionogram
