Re: Chrisb1's - two long fasts
My 25 day fast and then 30 day fast all of those years ago were interspersed with approx' 30 days of refeeding. I do not recall exactly.
Just for the record one and all, although water-only-fasting allows the body to heal in a resting state via diverting digestive and other energies into cleansing and healing, what is so often overlooked by many is that nutrition heals as well: nutrition provides the building blocks for life and heals at the cellular level.
This I discovered in the case of supplemental Vitamin D3.
I also know of one case where supplemental Ascorbate, to the tune of 24 grams (24,000 mg) per day, cured a case of Eisenmenger syndrome of 25 years standing: an alleged incurable condition by Allopathy.
The body is a self-healing, self-maintaining and self-repairing organism, either by adopting a laissez-faire approach (water-only-fasting) or by providing targeted nutrition which assists the body into wellness.
Peace.
