The Fasting Cure

In May 1910, Upton Sinclair's article on fasting generated unprecedented public interest, leading to a follow-up piece for "Cosmopolitan Magazine" in 1911. "The Fasting Cure" compiles these articles along with additional notes and contributions, aiming to provide a reference for those inquiring about fasting. Sinclair's intent was twofold: to reduce his correspondence on the topic and to spark scientific interest in fasting. Presented as a historical work, the book emphasizes the importance of consulting a physician before making dietary changes.
