"There are so many benefits to being free from the addiction of food."
Jasmueen's "Living on Light"
"The source of nourishment for the new millenium." Hah! The book blurb says all you need to know about Guru Ellen Greve. "The Australian author Jasmuheen has not eaten any food for 5 years. Breatharians get nourished from the Universal Life Force. This book describes a special 21-day process to convert the body."

Then some publicist jazzed up the description, and the sequel was suddenly a self-help book. "A manual for personal self empowerment and self mastery, filled with channeled guidance from Jasmuheen and the Ascended Ones"
[The first book.]  [The cleaned-up version.]

I liked Starvation Heights, the true story of two heiresses and the woman who duped them into fasting for 54 days. One sister, skeletally thin even months after her release, survived to prosecute the murderess who professed a staunch belief in her own innocence. She went on to kill other victims after her release from jail, all the while maintaining that the "traditional medical establishment" wanted to discredit a woman. Astounding story, a few of the descriptions were squeamish (they were so thin their lips wouldn't close) and there are a few repetitious sections, but overall a well-deserved thumbs up.
