Starving For Attention Day4 - 5/22/2008

Historical records tell us that fasting has been used for health recovery for
thousands of years. Hippocrates, Socrates, and Plato all recommended fasting for health recovery. The Bible tells us that Moses and Jesus fasted for 40 days for spiritual renewal. Mahatma Gandhi fasted for 21 days to promote respect and compassion between different religions.
For much of human history, fasting has been guided by intuition and spiritual purpose. Today, our understanding of human physiology confirms the powerful healing effects of fasting.

Fasting is a powerful therapeutic process that can help people recover from mild to severe health conditions. Some of the most common ones are high blood pressure, asthma, allergies, chronic headaches, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), irritable bowel syndrome, adult onset diabetes, heart disease, degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, acne, uterine fibroids, benign tumours, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Fasting provides a period of concentrated physiological rest during which time the body can devote its self-healing mechanisms to repairing and strengthening damaged organs. The process of fasting also allows the body to cleanse cells of accumulated toxins and waste products.

Fasting gives the digestive tract time to completely rest and strengthen its mucosal lining. A healthy intestinal mucosal lining is necessary for preventing the leakage of incompletely digested proteins into the bloodstream, thereby offering protection from autoimmune conditions. A healthy digestive tract also helps to protect the blood and inner organs against a variety of environmental and metabolic toxins.

how do you feel....? 12121212

[emptyminutes]

is he fasting only during the day or how?

[Mephmt]

That's right. People dying in 3rd world countries could use that medicine more than some willfully ignorant fool.

[koolkat999]

your mom must be AWSOME :D!!!

[mytube1349]

you shouldn't take that one a day shit....

modern medicine isn't to be trusted.

[mytube1349]

who knows? playing devils advocate is fun, but it really doesn't get us anywhere.

there are people who benefit from fasts for their diseases, that's for sure. there's your "scientific evidence"....testimony.

and there's people who don't benefit. most likely a lack of water.

things like acne are your body responding to CLOGGED ORGANS. fasts allow your body to do what it does best. but you NEED water for obvious reasons.

the key word here is WATER.

I've just read the info accompanying this video and I am wondering from what source you have obtained this 'scientific evidence'? There is absolutely no quality research evidence in support of your claims. Why do people with restricting anorexia nervosa, or who go on hunger strike die? It's because their organs atrophy and fail through malnutrition. In ulcerative gut diseases fasting (with parenteral nutrition) IS used, but that is because the gut is not functioning and is already damaged.

So I can eat once every four days before I start to get hungry (OK) that is going to save me so much money. thank you/LOL

[MyOwnStickFigure]

Your Mom sounds very sweet. Good advice. I'm glad you dediced to take it. Please be well. Don't set yourself up for 30 days, if you can't make it 30 days you aren't a failure. I honestly think we should all team up and tell you to eat a healthy diet and then document that instead of a fast, smirk

[SIXTYoneVW]

30 days is good. Keep it up, dont lose sight. Good Job.

[tjmejak3]

I AM SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!

Keep it up you are way stronger then me!!!
