I was pleased to be sent this article which i am sharing now:

[www.guardian.co.uk]


one paragraph is as follows "Cutting daily food intake to around 500 calories – which amounts to little more than a few vegetables and some tea – for two days out of seven had clear beneficial effects in their studies, claimed Mattson, who is also professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore"

I'm wondering if this should be 2 consecutive days or randomly in 7 days. Also How does one calculate the calories in juice as I would like to juice fast for 2 days a week? - this seems very appealing to me as I am struggling at the moment and some structure would help I think

I have read that fasting can help with just about any ailment that exists.
It allows the body to direct energy into healing,instead of digestion of food.
Seems there is a limited budget,and energy can go one way,or another...

Good to see it being reconized in mainstream medicine though don't you think?

Absolutely!!
Check out a Dr Fuhrman.
He is into fasting almost as a standard treatment.

<<<I'm wondering if this should be 2 consecutive days or randomly in 7 days.>>>

That’s an interesting question because the one thing these researchers are missing is that the True Benefits from Water Fasting doesn’t occur until day 4 when our bodies switch over from our brain using glucose as fuel to fat, i.e. Ketosis, and most importantly, Autolysis kicks in. Of course, this does not mean that everyone won’t see Benefits from taking a Solid Food Vacation for 1 or 2 days, but those Benefits pale in comparison to the process of Autolysis.

My point here is that it would be better to do a Juice Fast or a Juice Feast than it would be to do a Water Fast, especially since Water Fasting is no longer safe to do anymore because of the Chemical Revolution. Our bodies need ATP and Glutathione to complete a Two Phase Process our Liver uses to Neutralize and Eliminate all of these Toxic Chemicals.

I tried to add my list that I calculated using information from Dr. Norman Walker, but was unable to post my Table, so if you send me an email, I’ll email you an attachment.
