Your article reminds me of a news story I saw on national news the other evening. It was a story on the Gulf Coast oil spill and people still very much afraid of eating Gulf coast seafood because of fears of contamination and the seafood making them sick. Ironically, people are not fearful of putting a MacDonald's double cheese burger and fries, or a couple of doughnuts and a glass of milk into their bellies. It just goes to show that most people have no idea about the "safety" of their food choices, shunning "contaminated" seafood while embracing the SAD diet filled with sugar, salt, fat, and animal products which is killing people every day.

I really enjoyed your post Walter, a fantastic job to go 7 days! I interned at True North Health Center, a water fasting facility in Santa Rosa, CA., last summer with Dr's Goldhamer, Klaper, and Sultana and learned so much about the process of water fasting. It impressed upon me the innate wisdom, and the incredible healing power of the body when we "do no harm" and allow it rest and repair. I have begun a water fast today :)

Thanks for the inspiration!

Glad you were inspired to fast & that it went so well. Truly a healing mechananism. People should take care not to fast more than 3 days w/o supervision, especially if they have health issues.

And yes, the grain waste on a meat-centered diet is obscene.

Thanks for inspiring people, Walter.

Was the Dr. Ellis video review included for the purpose of showing how ridiculous Dr. Ellis and the typical meat eater defenses of their eating habit, is, not to mention that he must be a lousy doctor because he states that whole foods and grains do absolutely nothing for you? I can't think of any other reason. Glad he isn't my doctor.
