Nope. You're talking complete bullshit, and you will never be able to produce a shred of evidence for any of it because it's all total bullshit. Made up nonsense, and you're saying it like it's the truth. I bet you think homoeopathy's real too. Again - you seriously don't know what you're talking about - or - let me rephrase that - you DO know what you're talking about - it's just all made up bollocks with no evidence to back up a single word of it. And I don't need to provide any evidence here - you're the one making these claims. not me. Jesus. You are utterly mental.
actually you
are making claims: you'd said fasting was dangerous and that my info was made up. the burden of proof is on you as much as it is on me.
i dont think the medical community has much interest in promoting fasting, frankly. after all, what profit is to be made off of people realizing they have the power to heal themselves? that doesnt mean many incredibly knowledgeable health professionals dont think it's a worthwhile thing to do. and scientific studies
have been done on fasting, but mostly on the effects of fasting in animals (im sure i could find studies done on humans if i could be bothered to look). one study that i remember in particular was done on worms where the outcome was that the fasted worms outlived the fed worms by 3 times the life span and retained their youthful features up until the end of their lives (what's not to like about that?). another where the iron in the liver of fasted cows was at the end of the fast double that of the iron in the liver of fed cows. there have been many i have read over the years, because i have been interested in fasting, and been practicing it myself (though never longer than 3 weeks), for years.
this is not new age nonsense if that's what you're trying to make it out to be. what's the first thing a sick or injured animal does? it fasts. surely an animals own instincts wouldnt be against it? surely they're not refusing food because they want to endanger themselves further?
if you're thinking ketosis is dangerous perhaps you're basing this on ketosis based diets like atkins, in which case yes, it is dangerous, because the digestive system in those diets is still being heavily worked upon. it is absolutely vital to shut down the digestive system to ensure a succesful ketosis. one of the great benefits of shutting down the digestive system is that around 30% of the body's energy which is normally reserved for digesting food is now freed up to attend to other things like healing the body. this is why water fasting is much more effective than juice fasting. also because when in total ketosis the body suddenly has access to it's stores that it wouldnt have access to otherwise, and the body generally has an ample supply of all the vitamins and minerals (with a few exceptions like vitamin c and b12) it needs stored within it. fasting becomes dangerous only when a person doesnt listen to their body's clues. the body has an amazing way of telling you when to stop your fast: after going into ketosis, usually around the 3rd day, the tongue becomes coated with a white film--the toxins which are being released--when you have fasted to completion, your tongue becomes clear again. this is how you know when to quit your fast, and a fast should never be taken beyond this point.
there has been myriad anecdotal evidence of the miraculous benefits of fasting, backed up by doctors or not. on the other hand, i have never come across one story where fasting has had any ill effects whatsoever on a person (so long as they fasted correctly, because fasting can certainly be dangerous if: you take any amount of nutrients on a fast; you take medication on a fast; you break the fast the wrong way--which could lead to a heart attack; you fast beyond completion--as indicated by the tongue and the return of what is called 'true hunger'). there's a woman on youtube who did three consecutive 40 day fasts, with about a week of eating in between each one. i think we can agree that that is pretty extreme. and yet she didnt seem to experience any ill effects whatsoever, and said that after her fast everything checked out medically. and in the post fast update, where she has put on some weight (she became extremely emaciated from the fasting) she looks about 10 years younger than when she started the fasts and seems to have so much more energy.
why would i or anyone else make this up? for what purpose would people go around disseminating made up information? the last thing i would want to do is give false hope to anyone.
morrissey and cancer are two things that should not go together.
