My friend Dr. Alan Goldhamer stops by to discuss health and diet as well as the benefits of medical supervised water only fasting for up to 40 DAYS! We also discuss the typical American diet which is full of the three things we should be avoiding, SALT, OIL and SUGAR! Dr. Goldhamer recommends eating whole plant based foods in order to, not just lose weight at the beginning, but to keep it off and remain healthy into old age. We also discuss the nutrition of my favorite, PEANUT BUTTER! This is an absolute must-watch conversation with brilliant human-being!

THE BENEFITS OF WATER FASTING
https://www.healthpromoting.com/water-only-fasting
The long-term health benefits of water-only fasting are often dependent on dietary and lifestyle modifications. In order to facilitate these changes we offer educational programs dealing with diet, exercise, proper body use, stress management, sleep, and psychology.
These programs are presented in the form of audio and videotapes, lectures, demonstrations, question and answer sessions, and individual consultations. Meals are prepared from fresh fruits and vegetables grown
in the Center’s own organic gardens whenever possible.
How Long Should You Fast?
The body’s response to fasting can help participants determine the optimum fasting duration. Fasts typically continue for 5 to 40 days. The idea is to fast as briefly as possible, but as long as necessary, to accomplish your desired goals.
Ending the Fast
When participants decide to end their fast, they are encouraged to gradually reintroduce food into their diet. This re-feeding process reinforces good dietary habits and typically requires a period of no less than one-half the length of the fast.
Dr. Goldhamer was the principal investigator in two landmark studies. The first: “Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Hypertension” appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Its publication marked a turning point in the evolution of evidence supporting the benefits of water-only fasting. The second study: “Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Borderline Hypertension,” appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Currently, Dr. Goldhamer is directing a team that is developing a prospective study, incorporating random assignment and long-term follow-up on the cost and clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure with fasting and a health-promoting diet.
