ran into someone who feels fasting ain’t good for you. I’ve read
Anderson and Bragg and Jensen and a few others, have done a couple
supervised 7 day fasts, a couple liver cleanses and feel it’s done me
some good. I feel cleaner and less toxic, but I wonder, am I wasting my
time? am I just biased because of the time i’ve put in. am I just being
suggestible? is there no cause and effect?
How about some yay’s and nay’s on fasting?
What does our traditional Western medical establishment have to say about
the subject?

IMO: Fasting is one of the oldest ways of healing and cleansing
the body of diseases and build-up of mucus and toxins. Therefore I do
think that it is good for you. However it has to be the correct type
and not for too long of a period. Because you must keep in mind that
during a prolonged fast, the body is cleansing itself without any
opportunity to replenish or regenerate the cells and tissues. A safer
length of time would be 3 – 4 days. I think that juice fasts are the
saftest. For follow-up use a *mild*-diet so as not to overload the
system with hard to digest foods.

P.S. You can also go on a *cleansing*diet as an alternative to
fasting. Suggested reading: Stanley Burroughs, Vena Burnett.
