---> And how you can get a book on Fasting for Free
In my last issue, I published a letter by Tawana Jurek who has a website where she explained how she helped save her dog through fasting.
Since then, a few readers wrote me telling me I had been careless about publishing this letter. They thought fasting a pet equaled to “animal cruelty.”
Before evaluating such statements, let’s understand the process of fasting a bit more.
It’s perfectly natural for every animal on the planet to fast when they are sick. That is often the only way they will get well.
Why not read: “The Science and Fine Art of Fasting” by Dr. Shelton, and you will learn all about how this process is one of the most natural things in the world. )I will give you a way to read this book for free.)
When done carefully, fasting can be of great aids to humans and their pets.
HERE’S FROM TAWANA:
“Thanks for mentioning my website www.healthyhealing.org on your last newsletter. I have had thousands of people to my site and most are positive for saving the dog pepper.
I just received an email that was quite disturbing from someone who found my site through your newsletter. They accused me of *cruelty* to animals and that I should be reported and that I should close my website down.
They felt that since the dog had no say so about me fasting the dog that I was being cruel by doing this. What the person failed to understand that:
*Animals naturally will not eat until they feel like it. They naturally stop eating. They begin eating when they are ready. It is a natural for animals as well as people if given the chance*.
Apparently people are still in the dark about this subject.
Pepper (my dog) could not eat nor drink on his own. Death would have been his outcome had we not let him do what naturally he did for himself. He let us know when he could eat. I have fasted other dogs with distemper. Distemper is 95% fatal. I have saved 3 dogs through fasting them.
Before this I had put to death dozens of rescue dogs that had it. So my option is kill them or save them. I choose to fast them and save them. I don’t think this is cruel when this is the option.
I have saved thousands of animals and whatever it takes I to save them I will. I hope your readers educate themselves on fasting. Dr. Shelton has some great info on fasting animals. Also Dr. Vetrano can give your readers some great info on fasting an animal. Basically, you let the animals do what is natural to them.” Tawana Jurek
COMMENT FROM FREDERIC: If you wish to read the book, “The Science and Fine Art of Fasting,” know that you can read the entire book for FREE online, as it is now public domain. Here’s the link: http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0201hyglibcat/020127shelton.III/020127.toc.htm
CHANGED BY “THE RAW SECRETS”
“Dear Frederic,
I wanted to thank you for changing my life.
I started on the raw food path (or so I thought) in September 2004. I decided it was the right choice for me after experiencing acne and hyperpigmented skin patches over 30% of my body.
For six month, I was combining all the wrong foods and seeing little results. Then I stumbled onto your site and read “The Raw Secrets”; I was instantly relieved and overjoyed.
Today, I am a totally renewed person. I look better than ever and feel amazing. I can't wait for “Instant Raw Sensations.”
I have tried every recipe in your “Raw Soups” book and I love most of them. I have two green smoothies each day and I can't live without these.
The more I learn from you, the more inspired I am to live my best life! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.”
Peace be with you,
G. R.
COMMENT FROM FREDERIC: Thank you for your moving letter – reading those positive comments really inspires me to continue my work.

What is sequential eating? The answer is simple: eating foods in a certain sequence in order to improve digestion.
Why should it matter? That’s the topic of today’s article.
--
In my last article on food combining, I broke down food combining down to its 3 most essential rules that apply when eating a raw/hygienic diet. Those rules were:
- Do not mix sugar with fat.
- Do not mix and acid with starch (such as bananas)
- Do not mix different types of fats together.
Today, I’m going to present the concept of sequential eating, which complements perfectly food combining rules, and can even “bypass” them in some cases.
Is there a preferred order to eat foods in order to encourage a better digestion? Yes, and you’ll see, once you master that concept, your digestion will never be the same.
---> This principle will also help those who have trouble consuming sufficient quantities of fruits and vegetables to be well nourished!
A Little Theory
A food that digests quickly must wait for other foods that digest slowly to leave the stomach. This process can take several hours. During that time, many types of foods (especially fruit & starches) start fermenting, producing gas and even alcohol.
What has been discovered is that when foods are eaten one at a time, the entire meal will digest in different *layers*. So if 5 different types of food are eaten, one at a time, there could be up to 5 different types of digestion going on, with enzymes adapting to each particular type of food!
But when the 5 types of food are eaten altogether, by either mixing everything in the plate or in the mouth, then the stomach is filled with the same mixture, and will take a lot longer to digest, with more difficulties too.
The fact that foods digest in different *layers* has been confirmed by many physiologists. In one case, a soldier was wounded, which caused a large opening on his stomach. Several doctors were present and could study the digestion, *live*, and they observed this his stomach digested foods in different layers.
Watery Foods First
The first concept to understand is that we should always start eating watery foods first and finish with concentrated foods. The watery foods, such as fresh fruit, are digested rapidly, and leave room for the more concentrated foods.
If we eat in the other sequence, which would be to eat concentrated foods first and then water foods such as fruit, the fruit would likely stay in the stomach for too long and ferment.
When we eat a piece of melon on an empty stomach, it digests very rapidly. Within minutes it already exits the stomach. With this understanding, it would then be possible to eat something incompatible after, such as avocado or nuts even. But to do it the other way around would create fermentation.
Fruit First
Eat your fruit first, and then have vegetables or more concentrated foods. Not the other way around. Many people have a big salad or a sandwich and then have a piece of fruit. They then complain that fruit gives them gas. To avoid that, have the fruit first, and then the other foods.
Acid Fruit First
Acid fruits include citrus, pineapple, kiwis, tomatoes, etc. Eating those foods at the end of a meal causes indigestion for some people. It’s always better to eat them before all other varieties of fruit or all other fruits.
Some Bad Sequences
-Nuts followed by fruit, or starch
-Starch followed by fruit or starch
- Starch followed by acid foods
- Bananas followed by acid fruits
-Cooked food followed by fruit or nuts
-Dried fruit followed by fresh fruit
- Potatoes followed by tomatoes
- Etc.
Some Good Sequences
- Acid fruit followed by less acid fruits
- Vegetables followed by starch
- Fruit (wait 20 minutes) and then a vegetable soup
- Fruit (wait 20 minutes), and then a salad (with or without fat)
- Melon, followed by other types of fruit
Digestion of Some Foods
This is the digestion time of some types of food, when they are eaten one at a time in a small quantity.
Very Fast: Melon, juicy fruit, fruit juice, vegetable juice, vegetable broth, blended salad (without fat)
Fast: Raw vegetables, blended salads (without fat), etc.
Slower: Steamed vegetables, light starches (root vegetables, etc.)
Slow: Grains, bread, avocado, oil etc.
Very slow: Nuts, protein foods, etc.
To repeat the key principles:
- Eat foods ideally one at a time, or one TYPE of food at a time.
- Eat the least dense food first and the most dense last.
- One exception one would be to start with nuts or avocado (or another protein foods), and then follow it by vegetables (but nothing else). This sequence also digests well, as the vegetables do not have a tendency to ferment.
In conclusion, the ideal remains the natural way: eat one food at a time!
