A fascinating article on therapeutic fasting published in the National Post: http://news.nationalpost.com/health/therapeutic-fasting-741073
The BBC did a great documentary touching on the topic which can be accessed here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvdbtt_eat-fast-live-longer-hd_shortfilms
I have been interested in the benefits of fasting ever since my University days when I read a study published in 1982 showing that fasting mice were able to increase their lifespan by 82%. There has been a lot of research done on the topic since then. Perhaps starving yourself from time to time is a good thing after all.
