Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 In all of the reading I have done. I have read it can. I can only speak from my own experience. I am on my fall 40 day fast. I had previously done a 3 day water followed by a 30 day juice fast in March and now I did a 7 day water and am on my 7 of 30 or 40 day juice. I had many years ago treated my fibromyalgia with homeopathy and many of my symptoms are gone. Yet I found when I fasted the areas that were most affected (right side) would go through detoxing and ache and hurt and I knew more toxins were coming out. I will be fasting periodically throughout the year and my two longer ones from now on because my body is healing so much and I have more energy and feel wonderful. I have not been on meds or in severe pain in many years so I cannot speak for what may happen with that. I found I am changing physically, spiritually and emotionally. I lost 30 pounds in 33 days in the spring and the water fast 7 days this time I lost 14 pounds. I feel that the 44 pounds will make a big difference in my healing as well. I hope you find the fasting to bring you all the healing and benefits I have.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 In regards to Sjogren's syndrome it is briefly mentioned on page 144 of " Fasting and Eating for Health " Dr. Joel Fuhrman MD. He mentions several autoimmune diseases that do typically respond to this kind of treatment and that was one of them. He mentions that he does not specifically go into the detail on them in the book though. If you want more info I would contact his clinic. , " trbejohn2002 " <johnsonkaren wrote: > > In all of the reading I have done. I have read it can. I can only > speak from my own experience.
