The Fasting Cure is an intriguing yet potentially hazardous work by Upton Sinclair, a respected journalist but not a medical professional. Sinclair appears to have been captivated by the topic of fasting, sometimes overlooking critical analysis. Fasting has long been part of health and religious practices, and while it can be beneficial in moderation, it is not a panacea for diseases like cancer, despite claims made in the book. Sinclair suggests that prolonged fasts of 40 or 50 days are common and healthy, which contradicts modern medical advice that deems such extremes dangerous. This book is essentially a compilation of Sinclair's articles on fasting, along with letters he received on the subject, which he comments on to create a cohesive narrative. While it may appeal to readers interested in historical or anthropological perspectives, it is crucial to consult a physician before following any of the fasting recommendations. Additionally, the publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic texts, utilizing advanced technology to preserve the original format while addressing imperfections. However, some flaws from the original work may still be present in their editions.
