FAQ

Why is fasting becoming more popular?
In the increasingly fast-paced modern world of the twenty-first century, we need all the means at our disposal to make the very most of our busy lives.  It is all too easy to neglect our health or personal fulfillment and thus fail to achieve our real potential.  The benefits of Fasting are now well recognized for those who wish to improve their health, raise their energy levels, and fight off chronic fatigue and common minor disorders, it is the best way of invigorating and refreshing both body and soul.

Why should we Fast and Detoxify our bodies? 
Although it seems that we have been able to cure many diseases and epidemics with our modern allopathic medicine there are still many chronic health imbalances that we are unable to address. 



Why go to fasting centers and not do it at home?
We believe that it is fine to do some light fasting, like vegetable juice fasting at home, but to do a full- fast using the cleansers and herbs and other products that we use, is such a powerful and unique spiritual and physical experience that it is far better for people to be away from their work situations and their usual environments.

Why fast at The Atsumi Center in Phuket?
We are the only fasting resort in Phuket. As a fasting center, 100% of our focus is on the well-being of our guests. All of our guests are fasting, which creates a community of support. Phuket is an international vacation destination with an international airport and with many direct flights from around the world. We have some of the finest beaches and golf courses in the world. We offer world class, dental and medical services that are a fraction of the overseas costs for the same services, so it is possible for people to come and recuperate with us after surgery. We also have many tourist activities like diving and snorkeling,
duty-free shopping, international dining and a host of other attractions.

The Atsumi Center is a small resort, that offers "one on one" training and support through the fasting process at very affordable prices, while you can chose to stay in a large range of accommodation possibilities. Because we embrace the Atsumi philosophy which pays particular attention to the Emotional Body, we also take a very Holistic approach to the process of "Body-Mind-Spirit-Continuum" regeneration. So there are many therapies, treatments and classes that can also be part of the fasting program.

Why isn’t the cost of the Accommodation included in the Fasting package?
We offer a variety of accommodation styles, to suit all budget needs. If you are staying elsewhere in Phuket it is also possible to fast and cleanse with us by visiting us on a daily basis for your fasting needs and activities.



What is the difference with our fasting program and others?
Our fasting program is the "Arise and Shine" seven or ten day detox program, with colon hydrotherapy twice daily, massage and yoga included. We have had over 5000 guests go through this process successfully and with great results. If you are interested in a less dramatic fast and detox then we also have other shorter and lighter juice fasts and raw cleanses.
