Dave Why fast?

[Guest guest]

Hi Dave

 

I don't know much about it, so I did a search for you on google.com

and came up with these links for you to check it out. Or, you can

check out the library if you really want info on it.

 

Me, I occasionally detox by eating lighter foods and drinking nothing

but water for a couple of days, but have never fasted.

 

Hope this helps a bit!
