Hat tip to Larry et al, he pinged me to the article below. Discuss! I may add a bit or two on this thread and maybe copy to the other thread. Interesting topic, one size does NOT fill all in the fasting arena, but some kind may help most people. There are many kinds of fasting and some are heroic and few people can (or should) do it - like water for a month. Some are easier on the system and more accessible and in the long run, works just as well or better.
Then there are temporary mono-diets - not fasting entirely, but eating only one thing for a day or more days, that can also be very detoxifying but easier. People with blood sugar problems should of cousre never do juice or water fasts. (IMHO).
Now I’ll look for the other ping someone kindly sent me about Alzheimers, trying to find it. And later, the second Burn Story.
Thread about fasting:
Can the science of autophagy boost your health? (fasting - good short video link included)

Hat tip to sweetiepiezer who pinged me to this thread. It was all of 2 whole days ago so I couldn’t find it on my ping page.... Very interesting dicussion about bad germs and teeth and Alzheimers.
I remember reading about the Evil Spirochetes on FR a few years ago. I usually brush with baking soda anyway, or Ayurvedic or home made tooth powder, as I cannot stand gooey toothpastes. A few dentists ago they did a test for bacteria count in my mouth and they couldn’t believe the low bacteria count. Maybe the b.soda and tooth powder. According to Ayurveda tooth powder is much better than paste, and should have nothing sweet in it; rather it should have herb powders that are hot, astringent and bitter, as these tighten the gums and are anti-bacterial. These tooth powders are powdered clay based, and now I make my own as it is cheaper. If this saves me from losing my wits, so much the better!
