running into problems. And perhaps more surprisingly, most of these
conditions – and other deficiency issues – are actually resolved while
fasting. Here at Tanglewood I’ve seen iron-deficient anemia, B12
deficiencies, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and other deficiencies
regularly corrected while fasting and consuming only pure water.
This suggests to me that the deficiency conditions weren’t caused by
not consuming enough of the element in question, but rather because
the body was unable to access or properly use what was clearly
already present. We saw this just 6 moths ago again with a client
who had a severe, clinical magnesium deficiency. She functioned well
only when on massive magnesium supplements. But at my
recommendation, she discontinued the supplements and came to
fast. While fasting, all of her deficiency-related symptoms
disappeared, and in the roughly 8 months since that fast she’s
maintained a much higher level of health without supplements.
Steven: In your opinion…how long do the benefits of fasting
generally last?
