Read somewhere recently,think it was in England,where they did a study to find out if fasting was harmful.What they found was a three day water fast your body destroyed your white cells,and replaced them with all new ones.
This had the benefit of giving you a renewed immune system.They were able to replicate the results.It came as quite a shock to the researchers.
Its now being studied in many places as an adjunct to treatment for cancer patients.
Im wondering if this has any correlation with wife having a nasty flu right now,and me being unaffected.Or maybe I just have immunity from having had this strain before.Dont know.Also BIL has same flu and had flu shot,we dont do flu shots,Im all for natural immunities.I dont believe in artificial immunity being superior to,or even equal to,what the body itself can and does do regarding immunities to certain non life threatening diseases.IMO only.I dont knock other folks choices.We all must make our own choices.
Amazes me that these dietary religious mandates have a basis in healthy living.Just what did they know way back when?
