Hi, David,

It wasn't  Dr. Bernarr's recommendation to water fast that bothered me.  It
was his sweeping generalizations about the *causes* of RA/JRA.  No doubt the
dissolute lifestyle he describes--i.e., drugs, alcohol, etc.,
etc.--contributes to many health problems, but none of those things are the
*cause* of my son's JRA.

Theola
