Worries, anxieties and fear engender nothing but agitation — and upset the proper secretion of digestive juices. A simple illustration will prove this point. An angry, aggressive dog will not digest its food properly. It will lie around listlessly, discontented and sullen, unwilling to eat its food when it is time to do so, actually refusing to touch anything. The dog’s organism is influenced by the mood forced upon it. Newfoundlands are known to lose their appetite when they feel sad or upset. But the animal takes a much more natural approach to the problem than we do. Instead of looking for some favourite food, the dog simply fasts; it does not eat at all until the disturbance has passed and it is well again. Years ago, fasting was customary for many people, but today most of us think we would die if we did not get our meals at the usual times. Only in times of privation do such people prove that their health is actually better than they had believed it to be. If it were not so, the enormous streams of refugees from war and famine would have few survivors. No, believe me, sensible fasting will not kill but benefit us, and will benefit the liver in particular.
