For those interested, here's a short list of some very insightful/encouraging books about fasting:
Juice Fasting & Detoxification by Steve Meyerowitz (Sproutman)
Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices by Dr. Norman W. Walker
How to Keep Slim, Healthy and Young With Juice Fasting by Dr. Paavo Airola
I highly recommend reading ANY of Dr. Norman Walker's books.
