I've never gone into a coma, either, but just one day of fasting puts me at
risk for seizures. Until September, this only meant losing my ability to
read and speak for about 90 seconds (I had a benign malformation removed
from my left temporal lobe in '93). But September's event saw me wind up
unconscious and in an ambulance before I "woke up" and I'm STILL dealing
with a $464 bill. Without insurance, I'd be paying close to $2,000.
Disgusted with a picture of myself taken without my knowledge, I decided to
crack down and lose more weight, dammit, and fasted yesterday. About two
hours ago, I suffered a seizure some seven minutes before my newscast (only
complex-partial, thank Godde). Not my idea of a fasting benefit.
Translation: If significant periods without food make you feel good, by all
means, enjoy. But fasting may not be good for some. One size does not fit
all.
