BOHLEN'S FASTING JOURNAL
DISCLAIMER: This journal is not an attempt to
"practice medicine without a license". I am merely sharing my own story, without an
attempt to give medical advice to others.
Every 40 day fast I have ever experienced has been with medical check
ups and/or limited supervision. I
believe that I have had a complete medical check-up with every fast. This is one reason I never detected my
diabetes, because everything normalized when I fasted, and I neglected to have
checkups when I was not fasting and so, did not have an accurate picture of how
my body was functioning under normal conditions. We recommend that if you do fast, you do so
with "medical supervision" and consultation. The problem here is that almost NO DOCTORS
know, have read about, have had experience with fasting, and thus, are not in a
very good position to properly advise or supervise. However, they are in a position to monitor
the body's condition and response, as to blood pressure, triglycerides, blood
sugar, kidney and liver function, etc.
Before fasting, or, at
least, at the beginning of the fast, we recommend the following books:
