I think a little olive oil is good every day, but since I want to know BOTH sides of the argument before I do something drastic to my body I checked out a medical reality check website. Here is just a sample of what I found:
"After the first day of fasting, liver glycogen is depleted. Since the body tries to maintain serum glucose within a normal range, protein stores from muscle (and eventually even from organs such as the heart and kidneys), are broken down to supply amino acids which can be converted to glucose. After a week-long fast, the loss of muscle tissue may comprise as much as one-third of the total weight loss.
A prolonged fast may lead to anemia, impairment of liver function, kidney stones, postural hypotension, mineral imbalances, and other undesirable side effects. Deaths from prolonged fasting have occurred, usually in people who believed this would "purify" their body or cure them of some disease"

This is a reply to # 593,186What kind of fast is this article talking about? Sounds like a Water Fast and certainly not a master cleanse or juice fast where blood Sugar is maintained all along.
The article also uses fear drops like "prolonged fast". What is their definition of a prolonged fast..weeks...months...years.
This kind of "medical " info can't be taken seriously at all and only serves to scare people based on half truths and carefully worded phrases.
The article seems to only serve to confuse and stir up unfounded fear.

I rarely take one opinion on a subject, especially regarding my health. I like to get many different sides and agree with your desire to check out the liver flush. I must say that I am confused though. I am sure that fasting can be dangerous depending on how long the fast is and if it is done properly(water only as opposed to juice fasting). What I don't understand is what this has to do with a liver flush. I know that fasting is involved to some degree with the various flushes but with many, such as Dr. Clark, the fasting is only a few hours. Have you found any information that deals specifically with liver flushing?

This is a reply to # 593,186Attention forum members! If you do liver flushes, your spleen could explode! Your eyes could develop cataracts and leak into your ears, making you deaf! The eight quarts (or litres for you foreign folk!) of olive oil that you drink each and every day, day in and day out, for SIXTY-THREE YEARS to perform this cult-like ceremony you call the "Liver Flush" will turn your intestines into pudding and completely prevent your stomach from working EVER.
But be sure to sample the Twinkies(R) on your way out. They're absolutely delicious and so good for you!

Thanks, Julia! That would be great. If it can't make it into the first edition, maybe it can go in the second.
If the sun shines and the wind don't blow, I hope to publish in August...

This is a reply to # 593,204My goddess, could this be true!?! That's it, I'm ditching this dangerous cleansing lark in favour of the normal, sane and sensible life.
Think I'll head down to the chip shop for a portion of acrylamide loaded, deep fried potatoes and Mercury stuffed fish deep fried in sunflower oil...lush. I'll wash it down with a litre of coke and follow it up with two or three Mars bars and a couple of double chocolate chip muffins.
If I feel a bit rough afterwards I'll just get wasted on a dozen or so beers, a bottle of Jack and a joint or four of the good stuff. I'll soon feel great, plus my bowels will be fecked in the morning with the screaming shits so at least I'll be regular...well, as long as I repeat ad infinitum.
Well, I'm off now to the GP's to get my prescription drugs to cover up all these silly symptoms and warning signs my body keeps giving me that I'm not paying attention to it's needs. I mean, who's the bloody boss around here??

This is a reply to # 593,186At the ashram when we'd do a 10 day fast, we'd spend the first 2-3 days easing into it, and then the last 2 days easing out. True, the middle 5 days were on water fasting.
The things that you say about fasting are true, but to be on H20 for a short term (say 5-10days) has some benefit. For one thing, all of that energy used to run the digestive system can be used for other bodily functions. Plus, since you're not really putting anything new into the body, the toxins are more likely to come out. This needs to be done under supervision, and when you are not working hard. It's the body's time to rest.
After the fast you go through a rebuilding period.
Yours,
ScottAdvertisement

This is a reply to # 593,186yah, tell that to all the monks that fast. they look to be in pretty good health and shape to me! they look much better then most of our western population!
personally,i'm 5 ft 1 and about 100lbs. i've done 2 fasts in the last 2 yrs. last month i did one for 8 days. i did lose some weight but not much. muscle can be built back up with protein and exercise and like with any cleanse or fast you should replenish and rebuild your body after.
look at it this way: a fast or cleanse is like taking your clothes off at the end of the day and bathing.
tomorrow you will get dressed again and sweat, shed skin cells and get dirty right? but with a shower you will have a clean start!
