The Therapeutic Fasting Association (APT) makes this book available to the public as a sign of gratitude towards Dr. Ioan Anton (Monk Marcu, Sihăstria Rarău Monastery, Suceava), and for the special relationship the author developed with Cezar Elisei, President of APT – a friendship grounded in their shared love for God and for water fasting. Dr. Ioan Anton (Monk Marcu) practised water fasting many times, studying its effects on himself. Only after examining them through the lens of his medical training did he decide to pass this unique experience on to those interested, in a Christian Orthodox account of the effects of therapeutic fasting.
The book presents, concisely, the benefits of water fasting, as well as examples of treating certain conditions by abstaining from food, all set in a medical context relevant to those looking for alternatives or complements to conventional medicine. This work is especially important because it offers a contemporary testimony from a doctor-monk about a natural – or, if you like, divine – approach to health, complementary to drug treatments and allopathic medicine.
