  • History, Benefits, Food List & Recipes
    History, Benefits, Food List & Recipes The Daniel fast brings healing breakthrough in the body, mind and spirit. “This is the fast that I have chosen…to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke. Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth.” – Isaiah 58:6 HISTORY What is a fast? Fasting is abstaining from something like food, drink or entertainment for a period of time. There are many types of fasts which include: -Standard Fast (water only) -Absolute Fast (No water or food) -Partial Fast (restrict certain food and drink categories) -Intermittent Fast (Only eat during small daily window, for example: 1pm-6pm) What is the Daniel Fast? The Daniel Fast is a biblically based partial fast referenced in the Bible, particularly in two sections of the Book of Daniel: “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables [pulses] to eat and water to drink.” Daniel 1:12 “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” Daniel 10: 1-2 The Daniel Fast Story Daniel was among the best and the brightest of the Israelites of his time. In the book of Daniel in the Bible, the backdrop is set: King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had seized Jerusalem, the capital city of Judah, and had taken King Jehoiakam captive and overrun God’s temple.

    The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases ISSN 1678-9199 | 2011 | volume 17 | issue 1 | pages 4-11 Allium species poisoning in dogs and cats TICLE R A Salgado BS (1), Monteiro LN (2), Rocha NS (1, 2) EVIEW R (1) Department of Pathology, Botucatu Medical School, São Paulo State University (UNESP – Univ Estadual Paulista), Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil; (2) Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Veterinary Pathology Service, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Husbandry, São Paulo State University (UNESP – Univ Estadual Paulista), Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. Abstract: Dogs and cats are the animals that owners most frequently seek assistance for potential poisonings, and these species are frequently involved with toxicoses due to ingestion of poisonous food. Feeding human foodstuff to pets may prove itself dangerous for their health, similarly to what is observed in Allium species toxicosis. Allium species toxicosis is reported worldwide in several animal species, and the toxic principles present in them causes the transformation of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, consequently resulting in hemolytic anemia with Heinz body formation. The aim of this review is to analyze the clinicopathologic aspects and therapeutic approach of this serious toxicosis of dogs and cats in order to give knowledge to veterinarians about Allium species toxicosis, and subsequently allow them to correctly diagnose this disease when facing it; and to educate pet owners to not feed their animals with Allium- containg food in order to better control this particular life-threatening toxicosis. Key words: Allium spp., poisonous plants, hemolytic anemia, Heinz bodies. INTRODUCTION differentiate them from other morphologically similar poisonous plants (6, 7).
