Re: Dr Foster's Essentials

Hello ambler,
the only reference I can find for Dr Foster is this snippet of information from her website re' water-only-fasting.....................

"We encourage natural methods that support your empowerment, sense of responsibility, and your dignity as a human being, while discouraging the use of extreme and unscientific methods and remedies such as long water fasts, extreme diets, weight loss hype, miracle "cure-alls," and chemical-based supplements. Our experience is that usually health challenges are influenced by many factors including improper food choices, inadequate exercise, high stress lifestyle, inadequate rest, smoking, alcoholic beverages, pollution, malnutrition and toxicity".

The comment that she alleges to have made that "water fasting is dangerous. Your liver can become overloaded and your kidneys destroyed".................

..........is absolute and complete nonsense, unless she is referring to the "starvation period" after the fasting period proper has finished, and which would be a fairly accurate comment.
No one is advocating starvation, which to many Doctors is synonymous with the word fasting.

The vast majority of people can water-fast with huge benefits for at least 30 to 40 days, and her assumption/claim that juice fasting is more efficient and effective at cleansing/healing is also contrary to the facts.
