- Steph: Tom, Thanks. Since asking my question I have been retested and I am fine. I am a study patient and participate in various studies for new drugs in which I am constantly having blood work done. The most recent study that I am in did blood work on my second day of fasting and it came back...

One cup of caffeine during a fast is equal to three cups during eating. It will stop the cleansing and make it a bit of a speed trip lose weight at...

- MR J: what did you mean by, “if i can reach the 42 day mark with success my treatment will be replicated in a clinical setting through out Asia?” So do I get those items, and mix to taste? there’s no certain amount of anything I need? I am not yet on medications, I am scheduled...

The mucus lining of the stomach is very thin after a fast and take about 5 days to get back to normal. The stomach acid needed to digest the rice and cheese casserole penetrated the...

- chris: well I have a question. I am a fairly skinny 17-year-old girl who is interested in fasting for many reasons. one of them NOT being aesthetic– i was planning on doing 30 days of water (ive done 10 before and after the 7th day for me it gets really easy). I was wondering if i will look...
