arn,
then you have comprehension issues.

Ad Nauseum........and I repeat............
Healing does occur whether eating or fasting, it is just that healing is more thorough and is achieved more quickly on a fast because of more available energy that would otherwise have been used in digestion: about 28% to 33% more. This is WHY people fast for their health/disease states and who have not healed or improved their health while eating. Would my leukemia have healed while still eating? I was given a death sentence of 6 months.............32 years ago.
Further............
After Gandhi was assassinated at 77, his doctors commented that his organs looked like those of a 35 year old. Their only explanation was the extensive fasting he had done.
Heart disease affects 50% of all Americans. Last year, a peer-reviewed study published in a medical journal proved that fasting is three times as effective as hypertension medications at reducing high blood pressure.
Natural Hygiene and other alternative literature is rampant with testimonials from people that have recovered from their varied diseases because of fasting, and mainly after going the rounds of conventional health-treatments while still eating.
Nutrition does heal of course, as Dr Fuhrman MD will testify from the many patients he has cared for with a plant-based diet, but this is over a much longer time frame than fasting would achieve.
Read Dr Fuhrmans book entitled: "Fasting and Eating For Health".
Read these as well and learn...........

I believe I speak for most when I say our patience is running thin now. You can learn much on your own from the voluminous literature on the subject.
This is a fasting support forum for those who are actually fasting, or enquire intelligently with an open mind on the subject.
This is not a debate forum.
