Re: Thanks guys - good advice!

Hi Pepe,

Actually if you read the article Ms. Quivers specifically states that she was having difficulty losing weight. At her heaviest she was over 200 pounds. She even mentions being at a party & leaving, crying, because she felt embarrassed to dance due to her extreme weight. Of course she had other health ailments too which all morbidly obese people do have.

I re-read the article & could not find where she says anything at all about a life threatening illness simialr to IBS. She did mention that her hormone levels were out of balance something which she attributed to a medication which she had taken years earlier. Highly plausible. She came forward about The Master Cleanse because she was publicly accused of submitting to the very fashionable FOBI pouch/stomach stapling operation. So in order to quell those rumors, because she does not support the FOBI pouch operation as a healthy weight-loss option, she gave an interview to People mag about her experience with the MC. She lost 70 pounds in 7 weeks. She did in fact do the Master-Cleanse in order to both lose weight & regain her good health. Something which doctors were not able to assist her in attaining. Yet with the Master-Cleanse she has accomplished & maintained her health beautifully & own her own.

I've always wondered hwo it is that fasting suppossedly lowers metabolic rate yet people lose weight as a result of fasting. Not only that but it's been proven again & again that lower caloric intake increases health & longevity. So I feel that more studies of metabolic rate need to be done. Obviously something does not add up.

Cheers
