Fasting, a long rest, as one nignt which continues, on and on permitting the unconscious mind to do a major clean up of the entire organism. Each system works toward fine tuning itself : the kidneys, the immune, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, intestinal and nervous systems.

Each sense gets back its sharpness : smell, sight, hearing taste, and touch.

Fasting requires two stages, one is as imporant as the other : the integral fast itself (bed rest and water only) and the recuperation period. Both are of equal length.

- a 30 to 60 minute walk in day light

Attention While fasting no medication can be taken. If you are taking medication before coming to fast it is your responsibility to stop taking them voluntarily and with the consent of your doctor if necessary.

Since fasting is the most natural way that exists to clean and regenerate the human body, no supplements or enemas will be used.

You can bring relaxation tapes, a small tape player and mini ear phones.

We suggest the least contact with the outside world as possible in order to fully profit from your experience. A short visit (30 minutes) on Sunday in the afternoon and short telephone calls are permitted for those who find it too difficult to abstain.

You are supported, all the long, by a registered nurse with regular visits during which the marvelous process of fasting is explained.

A Fasters' Typical Day

The fasters' night is usually interspersed with periods of light sleep followed by periods of autolysis. Thus, the morning is a favorable moment to rest and repose.

At around 9 o'clock, Mrs. Arsenault quietly begins the room visits, ensuring the well-being and the security of all fasters. This one on one chat with an experienced supervisor gives you the opportunity to ask your questions, share your experience and receive the adequate support and advice.

Although a fast must be undertaken while in a complete state of rest, a short discussion period is granted in the living room, from 10 o'clock until noon, so that the fasters can meet and discuss in tranquility, if desired.

The afternoon follows, inviting the faster to continue at rest, in bed as much as possible, so that the organism can preserve its energy and redirect it towards the cleansing and repairing of the body's tissues.
