Hi Ward! Just finished printing out your interview. Man!! You and the M2M are some things I sure could have used over the past 20 years of being out there on my own - so it appeared - with only three books by strange- sounding men of the past named Herbert Shelton ("The Science and Fine Art of Fasting"), Arnold Ehret, and Paul Bragg - as my "support system" and sources of different ideas on nutrition. These books I found lying dusty and outdated-looking in the backs of health food stores, and it seemed to me that the authors seemed to know something about health that for whatever reason had not reached a larger audience. I am a nutritionist and personal trainer - and, until I got onto the internet six months ago, I did not know the ANHS existed, or any sort of hygienic movement, or that there were people who had many of the same questions and ideas that I have. Because of the internet, I find myself with so much resource it is UNBELEIVABLE!!!! Today (Thursday) I am on my fourth day of a water fast. I'm frustrated with persistent health problems, despite many fasts of 7 - 15 days over the past 10 years, and a great diet (10% meat and fish, no dairy, no gluten) - so I am determined to fast these problems away. Hope it works. On your 42-day fast, did you work? This is the first time that I have actually laid in bed while fasting - but I can't do this for very long, so I think I'll try to be up and carrying on life while continuing to fast (through the Holiday season - oh God!!). What do you think of this plan?? Thanks again for the vast amount of research you have done, and all the references provided. With Lots of Appreciation ~~~ Liza
