Fasting

Joel Fuhrman, M.D.23 reports that "Having fasted over a thousand patients with various diseases I can say without hesitation that fasting is very often the only avenue that a patient can use to establish a complete remission. "This is especially true with autoimmune illnesses like lupus where it is almost impossible to shut off the hyperactive immune system with nutritional modifications alone, without total fasting.

"[The] failure to understand the benefits of fasting, stems from a narrow perspective, viewing fasting as merely a means to enhance detoxification, ignoring the other pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in most chronic degenerative diseases. The body clearly has the mechanism to adequately handle the removal of endogenous wastes generated in the fasting state. In fact, fasting has been shown to improve or normalize abnormal liver function."

It is adviseable to refrain from the use of drugs and other chemical exposures during fasting.
