    "The fast does not merely detoxify; it also breaks down superfluous tissue - fat, abnormal cells, atheromatous plaque, and tumors--and releases diseased tissues and their cellular products into the circulation for elimination. Toxic or unwanted materials circulate in our bloodstream and lymphatic tissues, and are deposited in and released from our fat stores and other tissues. An important element of fasting detoxification is mobilizing the toxins from their storage areas."

    Detoxification – by limbering up and prodding, poking and pinching those tissues which once lay dormant, you increase blood-flow throughout the entire body and assist in the removal of toxins.

    cellphones are potentially carcinogenic. People who are affected by radiation and electromagnetic emissions and other electricity sources (like being really close to overhead power lines and transmitters), think that many of these reports are played down so as not to alarm the public, or for possibly more nefarious reasons
