yes, i agree, but i also think that a great many of them (especially MINE) truly to believe in their heart of hearts that fasting is dangerous and they are genuinely concerned for my well-being, especially when i deny their drug prescriptions. i feel horrible, being trapped between this rock and a hard place.
i wish i could get a more enlightened doctor... a naturopath... but where i live, only the typical medical doctor is covered by insurance. naturopaths are incredibly expensive, and i simply cannot afford.
