In cases of such ailments, as hyper-acidity, ulcers of the stomach, etc. a 40-day fast purely on milk is advised. To begin with, a complete fast for 3 days is observed, which is followed by the milk fast, which is also called ‘Dugdha Kalpa’.<\/p>\n
The milk fast starts with the taking of spoonfuls of milk, gradually increased to in-take of cup-fuls and then glass-fuls of milk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gradually increasing the quantity of intake of milk, it can be 7 or 8 liters of milk in a day, which is continued for a few days and then the quantity of milk reduced gradually, and on the other hand, intake of fruit juices or vegetable-juices is increased with the passage of every day, thus to complete the milk-course in 40 days, after which normal diet is gradually increased to desirable level.<\/p>\n
All this, being a part of treatment, has to be taken up after a full study of the method and with self-confidence. It is better to have it under the guidance of a Naturo-path, or on his definite advice.<\/p>\n
During such long fasts, symptoms of reaction, are sometimes observed, like vomiting, burning sensation, slight temperature or renal discharge, etc., also hard breathing.<\/p>\n
But, realising that they are a part of the nature’s cleaning process, and that these symptoms disappear in a day or two, one should not be discouraged or lose heart, or turn to some other course of treatment and leave the fast incomplete, which would be a worse thing for the patient.<\/p>\n
The fast is sure to bring its gainful result, if only it is followed with determination and will-power, at no time feeling discouraged on a reaction or two.<\/p>\n
