Fasting

Kref,
I can see you are quite knowledgable on the subject of fasting. I need to take a reading comprehension course. :)
Sometimes the answer stares you in the face! So, thank you for the Dr. Fuhrman link and reminding me about fasting for arthritis. I'm one of those guys that will seek non-medical treatment first. I am having an arthritic flare-up...and I hate taking meds for it. The day will come soon enough, when I'll be on daily meds(no doubt) but until then...I'll keep trying "the first step" approach.
As you say..fasting is only one approach...whereas diet and exercise is a more steady and ongoing method. Lifestyle change is soooo tuff!! Any benefits from fasting is best with the proper "follow up."
My Diastolic blood pressure looms around 90. Long as I maintain a better diet and walk at least 3-4 miles a day...I can keep it closer to 80. For now I'm able to do the needed exercise. It would be easier to do the pills...but I've noticed meds have a certain "trade off."
I was typing with 2 fingers...now I'm typing with 1...(aaaah I'm joking..but my left is aching with arthritis.) Thanks again. :)
 
I have fasted for single days before. It's hard, but I feel better for doing it, particularly with lowered stress levels.

Shrike,

I will not tolerate religious bias in the Community Forum and BFC will not tolerate it at all. Your comment demonized a whole religion. There are members of this forum who are Muslims yet who are proud Americans. Think before you speak. :rolleyes:

No bias at all, just fact based data. I'm sorry you reacated with an emotional bent & did not/can not understand my prespective after living among them.

Please read the koran & see what it says before you single me out for bigotry
 
Check out the first step in Hypetension treatment from the medical community:

You can control hypertension with the first step, however most patients do not or can not for whatevr reason. SO while the water fast may seem revolutionary, I'd be willing to bet the diet following and subsequent weight loss is more contributary.

I would not recommend any treatments/fasting unless followed by a physician/experienced person.

Have fun. You can quite away without food, less without water and even less without air.

I fasted for two days a few years ago. Just water and homemade fruit / veggie juice. I pooped like a goose and lost eight pounds. And I actually had some rice for supper on the second day.

I wouldn't want to do it too often.

That's BS and you damn well know it. Your comment is deragatory and I will not allow such comments in this forum. I doubt highly that your comment has and "fact based data" to support it. You are one person with an opinion; albeit a negative one. Another comment such as that and you'll be on the outside looking in.
