You know what else has been done for thousands of years? Ritual sacrifice.It's not that we can't read or discuss... it's just that fasting and detoxing are unnecessary and really don't do much in the long run... that's assuming they do anything at all... and besides I agree with Hornsby... Documentaries are not exactly the best place to get unbiased information on well... anything.
Really fasting or detoxing is unnecessary? Wow think again. With the western diet the way it is and how much toxins are put into the body, its something to seriously consider or at least looking into. Fasting and detoxing has done wonders for many sick people. Do the research, you will see. I am not advocating that you do it yourself but don't just dismiss it because you don't understand what it does for you. Fasting has been done for thousands of years for health and spiritual reasons and it works.
Are you suggesting we continue those practices? Please explain how it "works".
No magical thinking allowed.

So, if we aren't swayed by smoke and mirrors, are informed on nutrition (beyond a biased documentary) and want lasting results, you want us to waste an hour and thirty seven minutes of our life? I'd rather go to the gym, and get real results.0

OP has bowed out, what a shame she may have learned something about juice fasting <shrugs>-1

I just watched Wolverine and are seriously considering becoming a mutant. Can we please have a real conversation about this but leave your opinions to yourself unless you are or want to become a mutant.-2

I love my juicer and bust it out a few times a month when I have excess fruits/veggies that will go bad before I can eat them. However, in the time it takes to juice all the things, dis-assemble, clean all the stupid little pieces and then drink the juice, I could have just eaten the fruits and veggies and headed out for a walk. No muss, no fuss.0

It's being discussed. You're just not getting the answers you want to hear. It's kinda of a low blow to indirectly insult that people here aren't capable of discussion when that's not the case.Obviously not been here for a while.. Forgot no one could read nor discuss.. Woops, I'll go elsewhere.

There were 3 rude, completely non-constructive comments before she posted that, and many more following. I understand her annoyance.

Really, detoxing doesn't exist (with the exception of protocols by professionals in the medical field, IE: heavy metal removal from the body).It's not that we can't read or discuss... it's just that fasting and detoxing are unnecessary and really don't do much in the long run... that's assuming they do anything at all... and besides I agree with Hornsby... Documentaries are not exactly the best place to get unbiased information on well... anything.

Eating foods or drinks do nothing to detox the body. There's lots and lots of peer reviewed clinical studies to support this.

I saw one that was funny (and I totally laughed), and the rest were totally legitimate comments. The problem is that it's not what she wanted to hear, which was also pointed out before she made her snarky YAGE.
Edited because I used the wrong "hear" and almost had to kick my own *kitten* for it.0 -

I watched the Dallas Cowboys play a football game on Sunday and I'm thinking about .... never mind, no one really wants to be a Dallas Cowboy.-1

Not denying that there won't be replies like that, but that's why one doesn't respond to those and just discuss it with others who are willing to cordially.hiswaywardgirl wrote: »

Too soon?
This is why people should check out some of the sticky topics, though the OP knew how it would be received so the exasperation is over the top.
Edited, because spelling isn't my strong suit tonight. :grumble:0 -
Am I the white knight? LOL. All I did was point out that the "low blows" ninerbluff mentioned were directed at the OP first. I understand why she would be annoyed.SonicDeathMonkey80 wrote: »PrizePopple wrote: »hiswaywardgirl wrote: »

Does this thread serve a purpose anymore?
I've always liked knights. They move in that nifty L-pattern.-1 -
