So to my point that Paul Bragg died of a heart attack (a fact taken from Wikipedia) he responded with "And who from among the deceased has not died?" I emailed "right, but it would have been becoming to someone who boasted that his approach (fasting) promises healthy aging to die of old age, not a heart attack". He also wrote that not eating clears his brain. I wrote that normally our brains need fluids and glucose so not eating would not clear them (and it does not for me, that is for sure), but maybe he is a lucky exception from the rule. I further wrote that if I skip meals, I can faint as my blood pressure is 85/52 and it falls further if I do not eat (he, otoh, takes bp-lowering meds). I think he will not respond, and it is OK, I will leave this topic then.

Monkey, you are like a brother to me. A brother I have never had and always dreamed of having.

Everyone, thanks!
