Look into research and patient treatment results by the likes of Dr Herbert Shelton. There is quite a bit of literature to support caloric restriction and in particular water fasting as ideal treatment option for many diseases once you filter out MSM sources that tell you it's a lie (and in the same page push you ads by Pfizer.. yep, clearly unbiased!)
It's not about who funds the research - there is literally no benefit to confirming that water fasting cures diseases. Nobody in the medical industrial complex would benefit from this. Not even food companies! (because you won't be eating for up to 30 days and then change your consumption habits drastically against mass produced factory food).
- nradov 9y agoAre you referring to this one? Shelton, Herbert M. Fasting Can Save Your Life: How Christians Can Change World Events Through the Simple, Yet Powerful Tools of Prayer and Fasting. Natural Hygiene Press, 1964. Please.
- aviv 9y agoPlease what? Do you have proof that you know of someone who water fasted for extended period of time and was not cured or was harmed? Because I DO have the opposite proof. So your empty statements and insinuations is just trolling.
- aviv 9y agoSeriously - why would someone like you be so opposed to water fasting? Think about it for one minute - patients go through extreme treatments like chemo, radiation, Remicade, whatever - anything to get better, right? Why is exposing your body to crazy treatments so accepted, but this isn't? Nobody is telling you to expose yourself to chemicals, eat crazy things, drink concoctions.. really. What's your issue with water fasting? Such a pure process. So why not give this a shot? Type 2 diabetes people in fact see results in a matter of few days. What do they have to lose? I'm sure you're intelligent enough to realize water fasting for extended but still short enough of timeframe is not starvation, right? If you could make an effort for 5 days for the chance of never having to suffer from Type 2 diabetes - why the heck not give the patient the information? This is sick, truly sick, and people like you are keeping it so.
- nradov 9y agoOn the contrary. I am not at all opposed to fasting, although extended fasts do carry certain health risks. You have presented a plausible hypothesis. Now do the hard work to validate your hypothesis by following the scientific method instead of wasting our time with unverifiable anecdotes.
- aviv 9y agoCan you please point to the study that shows extended water fasts carry certain health risks? Posted some more links for you in another comment.
