fasting - clarification of a previous remark

[Guest guest]

In a previous post I wrote these words:

I feel compelled to clarify. I believe that the experience I've had with

fasting has been of great benefit to my health. I do acknowledge that

fasting can be dangerous if a person doesn't know what they are doing and it

can be risky for particular health concerns such as diabetes where it's

important to maintain blood sugar levels. I would strongly encourage anyone

who is considering incorporating fasting into their cleansing routine to read

up about it first and talk to people who have some fasting in their own

experience. It isn't something that should be jumped into blindly.

I didn't want to give the impression that fasting was, across the board,

always a good thing. Most of the time, yes, I do believe it can do wonders

for one's health - but as with anything else health related it is essential

to obtain good information before starting anything new.

I just wanted to clarify that, lest anyone misunderstand what I meant.

thanks
