Therapeutic fasting is addressed to adults. It allows patients to visibly lose weight in a short period, strengthen the body's immunity, improve shape, delay the ageing process, and, above all, eliminate toxins.

The exceptional effectiveness of therapeutic fasting stems from the fact that during fasting, the body activates its self-regulatory abilities enabling cellular detoxification, and switches into internal nutrition mode. This affects the stabilisation of blood pressure, the regulation of sugar and cholesterol levels, and even the reversal of civilization diseases or the disappearance of scars.

In 2016, Professor Yoshinori Ōsumi was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology for studying and describing the phenomenon of autophagy, namely the natural cellular detox. It involves the body destroying damaged and dead cells on its own, eliminating deposits stored in cells, and effectively getting rid of viruses and bacteria (after just 40 hours of fasting).

At Sofra Health Institute in Mielno, therapeutic fasting is typically carried out during a fourteen-day stay and is divided into three stages. During the first three days, patients prepare for fasting based on a vegetable and fruit diet. This is followed by a seven-day proper fasting phase and a four-day readaptation phase.
