Hi EllaC, good to see you too!

On the fruit and vegetable fast mentioned above, does that mean a fast from fruit and vegetables or a "juice fast" where vegetable juice is used with fruit to sweeten?  If it is the latter, then i would definitely agree that it is a good idea, depending on which vegetables are used. 

The way it works is to give the body a lot of what it needs from raw fresh vegetables, but with the fiber removed in order to get a much higher density of nutrients for the body to use.  As a fast for a week, it is ok.  It is also easier to digest and the energy normally used in digestion can be used elsewhere.  A few cleanses/flushed should follow.  Cleanses & flushes are like replacing or cleaning the filters on a car.  If one does a juice fast for any longer, then they should add a few things such as psyllium fiber for roughage.  Whole fresh foods are the best long term.
