The Law Of Special Economy

11. The Law Of Special Economy

The vital organism, under favorable conditions, stores up all excess of vital factors to be employed in a time of special need.

This law is especially valuable to remember in the consideration of the subject of fasting. It is this law which shows us that when we fast, we can be sure that, under normal conditions, we have plenty of reserves which the body has automatically set aside for itself during crises. Exceptions to this usually involve metabolic imbalances of disease pathology which have created serious impairment or atrophy of a particular gland, organ or systemic faculty. The body is incredibly provident and intelligent in its self-preserving capabilities, and this law helps us to appreciate that even more. How wonderful it is that we can abstain from food for an extended period of time allowing our bodies to take over with its reserve fund and redirect its energies toward concentrating on ejecting uneliminated poisons and utilizing its innate healing capabilities with success and benefit as to transform our entire organism from a pathological condition to a vibrant state of disease-free health. It’s like a miracle, and yet it is simply nature and her providence once again demonstrating her superiority and self-preservation when given free reign.
