Drinking water. The fasting program will give you 6 glasses of juices, broth and herb teas during 24 hours. If you still feel thirsty, you may drink additional regular water: pure, uncontaminated water, of course. Avoid chlorinated or fluoridated water. Natural, hard water is better than distilled water.

Hunger. Will you feel hungry while fasting? Yes, naturally, but only during the first 3 or 4 days. After that, the unbelievable will happen: the longer you fast, the less hungry you will feel, until the time when the body has completed its cleansing work, at which time you will suddenly feel an excruciating hunger – a reliable signal that it is time to break the fast and start eating.

Positive attitude. Mental attitude during fasting is of paramount importance. Avoid negative influences or thoughts. Don’t listen to the terrified relatives and “friends”, and their “warnings”. Have total confidence in what you are doing. Remember, hundreds of thousands of people have done it successfully before you. Perhaps thinking that you are on a juice diet instead of juice fast will make you feel safer!

Diet after the fast. The wonderful results achieved by fasting will be nullified in a very short time if fasting is followed by the improper diet that created the undesirable condition of ill health in the first place – a condition that fasting corrected so successfully. The regenerative, rejuvenative and healing processes initiated by your body during fasting must continue after the fast is broken.

Therefore, fasting should be followed by the Airola Diet – the health-building diet of optimum nutrition. Following the Airola Diet for optimum health after your fasting will insure that you are building upon – not tearing down – the good results the fasting has accomplished.

Ideally, the best protection against pregnancy and infection is no sex at all.

Social scientists, finding no sexual abstinence program that could prove all participants had achieved that goal, fostered this approach: Give teenagers strong behavioral training aimed either at delaying first sexual intercourse or at turning aside unprotected sex.

By the 1990s, many such programs were available. To evaluate them scientifically, the projects were cast as experiments and written up as studies. Eleven were checked by a team of scientists and statisticians from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Their leader was Douglas Kirby, director of research at ETR, a nonprofit health education group in Scotts Valley, California.

“We were looking for common characteristics of programs that worked,” Mr. Kirby says. He adds that in half the sex education courses studied, students had changed their behavior (reduced sexual risk taking), and in half they had not. “For the first time in history,” he says, “we can pinpoint programs that delay sexual intercourse and/or inspire using safety devices, ultimately reducing the teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.”

This is a major advance. Educators now believe they know how to help students change their sexual behavior.
