Chapter 6
Fasting is a greater cure of our
ills, both mental and physical,
than all of the drugs of the
earth combined into one bottle
or a billion bottles. Allah
(God), in the Person of Master
Fard Muhammad, has taught me
that fasting, with the right
kind of food, is the cure for
our ills. He has said to me that
there is no cure in drugs and
medicine. And this the world is
now learning. We can take
medicine all of our lives until
it kills us (yet, we are still
ailing with the same old
diseases).
The bad foods and drinks that
we are putting into our bodies
keep us a victim to illness.
There are very few nice doctors
who like to tell you that drugs
are not good for you, because
they paid for their learning and
want to keep practicing. But
"How to Eat to Live" is what we
want to know and have wanted to
know all of our lives.
All men and women want to
know how they can prolong their
lives. Nature teaches us to stay
here in this life as long as we
can.
Nature has never taught
anyone that he should leave this
life and find another one
somewhere else, because we only
have one life. And, if this life
is destroyed, we would have a
hard time trying to get more
life, it is impossible. So try
to keep this life that you have
as long as possible. Go when you
cannot stay here any longer.
Allah taught me that one meal
a day would keep us here for a
long time; we would live over
100 years. Eating one meal every
two days would lengthen our
lives just that much longer. He
said to me that you would never
be sick, eating one meal every
three days.
The fact that fasting is the
cure for 90 percent of our ills
is known by the medical
scientists. But, they do not
teach you that. They know that
tobacco, hard whiskey and
alcohol are not good for you and
will shorten your life and kill
you.
But, most of them are too
weak themselves to stop
drinking, smoking or chewing
tobacco. So they do not teach
you that tobacco and alcoholic
drinks made into what is known
as whiskey, beer and wine are
not good for you, although they
know it to be true. They will
say, "Yes, it is good for you if
you are temperate." But they
know that once you get started
on that stuff it is such an
enemy that it just takes you
into its power and it is almost
like trying to break an iron
chain to get away from the
habit. So, do not use tobacco in
any form and you will live a few
years longer.
Fast once a month for three
days, four days, or for whatever
length of time you are able to
go without food without harming
yourself, and you will feel
good. Did you know that if you
would stop eating pig and the
food that you should not eat,
stop eating three and four times
a day and stop drinking whiskey,
beer, and wine, you would save
much in the way of money?
In prolonging your life by
abstaining from the pig,
alcoholic drinks and tobacco,
you will also be adding money to
your savings by hundreds and
thousands of dollars. You will
be depriving those pig raisers,
tobacco growers and alcoholic
distillers of millions of
dollars of which they rob you as
they hasten you to your grave.
You could stop the tobacco
growers from growing that
stinking weed by turning away
from the use of it. And you
could stop the pig raising by
not eating the stinking hog.
These things are death to your
children in their early ages.
They even affect the
reproductive organs of people in
the early ages, as well as
affect the heart, lungs and your
sharpness in thinking. And,
after all of this, you die a
victim of poison and
commercialization.
LEARN TO EAT TO LIVE.
