I guess I didn't expain it so well:  I understand that fasting is avoiding
foods completely.  And why would this be good, if all food is good (and if
it was, what is the problem with digesting it???
As we know, different foods are better than others, and different people
have different requirements.
So my idea is that it is better to eat the foods that are good and "fast"
from those that are not.

How do you know if a problem is caused from foods or not?  And why would
fasting cure the problem if it wasn't caused by foods?
I have found that taking fresh cholophyll juice works wonders for the
ability of the blood to carry oxygen (and the dried barley-grass product
seems to work too, tho not quite as well - plus its costly).

>Have you had any successes clearing up problems by fasting?

Not really, fasting has caused me more problems than not.  I think that
eating effectively has been _ far_ more beneficial to me.

How did you find out about those fibroids?

I hope it all works out for  you Liza,
