Diary of a 40-day Therapeutic Water Fast

The first print run of 5,000 copies sold out within 40 days of the book’s release. So far, over 20,000 copies have been sold, and hundreds and thousands of people have started fasting after reading it. The book has been reprinted. Limits only exist in our minds. Cezar Elisei gave up the hustle and bustle of life as a journalist, in both the written press and television, to lay a new foundation for his daily life. This radical change was also made possible by the water-only fast, an ancient method whose benefits he strongly supports. Water fasting works on four levels: emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. Following a 40-day water-only fast, the author says he was healed of several conditions, including colon problems, heart arrhythmias and blood circulation disorders.

Testimonials

“So far, Cezar is the first person I know who has kept this 40-day fast with water only. I prayed for him, not without emotion, that he would complete the fast well and that nothing bad would happen to him. Glory to God that he finished it well! Now I confess that his determination gave me, too, the courage to start – together with others around me – fasting with water only, for shorter periods at first, and then for as long as the Lord allows. I was also impressed by Cezar’s idea of writing a fasting diary, sincere and unembellished, through which to share his whole experience with anyone who wishes.” (Protosyncellus Iustin Petre, Abbot of the “Saint John Cassian” Monastery, Constanța) “People often hope that the miracle will happen by itself, without effort. Therapeutic fasting brings the miracle of healing only when it is joined with the practice of prayer and with faith in God, who mediates the grace of healing simply, without expense or side effects. And because those who have already tried it speak of the peace and reconciliation with themselves gained in a relatively short time, it is clear enough that it is worth trying, at least once, the therapy of water-only fasting.” (Clinical psychologist Ioan Gotcă, “Dr. Ghelerter” Mental Health Centre, Iași)
