Re: Olivia Cohen update

Smileyface, I don't know if you are aware but fasting is not an Olympic sport and there are no medals awarded for those that can run the last mile of not eating while their bodies fall apart. It is simply a process that has healing properties, and allows us to function in periods when harvests were bad.

Everyone under Shelton was medically supervised for the duration of the fast, and they didn't have McDonalds, transfats and corn fed beef to feed on these days, not to mention people here using it for weight loss as opposed to health reasons because they are told it is the "in thing" to be slim, while they are pumped full of processed foods by TV ads and see pics of airbrushed celebrities.

And your comments imply that Shelton seemed to approve of 100 day fasts. Maybe he was aware of them, but I can't see anything saying he did. Personally I tend to stick with modern day Science because it is more in tune with today's living. If you can find anything on http://www.healthpromoting.com/
or http://www.drfuhrman.com
to say fasting to 100 days was a good idea, and for what reason, I'd be really interested. Or even give True North a ring on (707)586 5555 and get them to give you advice, that would be a good reality check I think. Sounds like you need one.
