These
methods
are
all
suggested
because
of
their
effectiveness
in
stimulating
the
activity
of
the
skin
where
one
is
not
able
to
bring
this
about
through
exercise
and
perspiration.
In
all
chronic
conditions,
however,
in
which
it
is
essential
to
purify
the
blood,
the
daily
practice
of
dry
friction
or
air
baths
is
particularly
advised.
Do
not
overlook
the
value
of
the
hot-water-drinking
regimen
in
combination
with
exercise,
which
I
offered
in
the
chapter
on
Cleansing
and
Stimulating
the
Alimentary
Canal.
It
is
especially
important
to
guard
against
constipation
if
there
is
any
tendency
in
that
direction,
and
above
all
things,
daily
muscular
activity
is
absolutely
essential.
Inasmuch
as
many
foods
have
great
value
in
the
purification
of
the
blood,
I
have
referred
to
this
particular
aspect
of
the
question
in
the
chapter
on
What
to
Eat.
Before
leaving
this
subject
it
should
be
said
that
where
there
is
any
necessity
for
a
rapid,
thorough
and
effective
cleansing
of
the
entire
system
there
is
nothing
that
will
accomplish
this
result
as
effectually
as
fasting.
Fasting
is
the
greatest
of
all
methods
of
purification.
Where
there
is
any
derangement
of
the
system,
with
temporary
loss
of
appetite,
it
is
usually
advisable
to
fast
until
the
appetite
returns
and
a
short
fast
of
from
one
to
three
days
is
usually
sufficient.
Where
there
is
any
serious
disorder
and
it
is
necessary
to
undergo
an
extensive
course
of
blood
purification
a
prolonged
fast
of
many
days
or
even
several
weeks
may
be
required.
Fasting
is
such
an
important
subject
in
itself
that
I
can-.
not
give
any
detailed
suggestions
in
regard
to
it
in
this
volume.
Before
fasting
one
should
make
a
comprehensive
study
of
its
physical
effects
and
especially
should
one
be
informed
on
proper
methods
of
breaking
a
fast.
