I think you are talking of Dr. Lorraine Day, she has some weird ideas about the world in general (like, she totaly discounts acupuncture and yoga as being beneficial to healing, and thinks that Jews are conspiring to take over the world) but is right on when it comes to natural medicine. I've been watching her tapes I got from the library: Drugs Never Cure Disease, Cancer Doesn't Scare Me Anymore, You Can't Improve on God, and a few more. Sorry to take so long to reply to that one, I don't have email notification turned on for my comments.

After two or three days of juice fasting the hunger signal is "turned off". When the hunger signal comes back, it is time to eat food. Your body lets you know when it is time.ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936647044479364798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-78645627065202850712007-04-29T21:25:00.000-05:002007-04-29T21:25:00.000-05:00This is some great info, Dori--thanks for doing th...This is some great info, Dori--thanks for doing the research.

I would like to add for the readers that my fast at the moment is more of a very, very limited diet - all raw organic foods, but I am definitely eating solids in addition to fresh unpasteurized juice. Some people have lived extremely healthfully on this type of diet for 30 years or more. <BR/><BR/>You asked how long I am going to do it, I originally planned 30 days. That ends May 11th, I think. Then I will eat some cooked food and see how I feel. If I don't feel as good on cooked, I am going to stay pretty much raw indefinitely, until I have to stop (and there's not much reason I'd have to stop - you can even get B12 from raw sources such as AFA algea).<BR/><BR/>I love the spread of the nautral health message!ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936647044479364798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-10162891582911767352007-04-26T11:58:00.000-05:002007-04-26T11:58:00.000-05:00Wow amazing info! thanks.Wow amazing info! thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-35797788373158983692007-04-26T11:35:00.000-05:002007-04-26T11:35:00.000-05:00Thanks for you work and have a good day of flowers...Thanks for you work and have a good day of flowersdavid santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976825493652779441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24249451.post-53953368381630728472007-04-26T11:30:00.000-05:002007-04-26T11:30:00.000-05:00Wow, I never knew fasting could have such a powerf...Wow, I never knew fasting could have such a powerful effect on your health!
