Every Other Day Fast ..anyone heard of this? (EODF) & spinal cord injuries?

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My daughter went to a physiatrist hoping he would have some magic thoughts

regarding pain meds that would not increase her apetite..he didn't But

he did recommend among other things a one or two day partial fast..ie from

1PM til the next morning not eating at all. It apparently has been said to

jump start the immune system, maybe help nerves etc. I don't know that

she will do it but curious if anyone else was familiar with this. He does it

himself and suggested she try it one day a week. I think it may come from

a Buddhist tradition?
